Obviously, Mario and Nintendo promote the hunting of animals to wear their fur, let's go beat up every company in the world that sells animal costumes for kids too!

It's ironic how this powerup has been in the Super Mario Bros series for years, and only now they've suddenly complained, with the release of Super Mario 3DS.

You mean after all that protesting and they even made their own video game?

Who has that "hahaha jokes on you I was only kidding" picture?

If this was a joke, this was probably just so then they can relay anti-animal cruelty stuff now that they have people's attention.
I still don't believe it though.

[Lørd Tøny]

It's probably a joke because they know Nintendo can easily go to court with them and win.
