Mario is an Italian plumber created by the Japanese controlled by the hands of Japanese and American (and other) videogamers. I think he's pretty left-wing.

Indeed, isn't that what C.S. Lewis said about Jesus? Either a liar, a loony, or the Lord? Same principle here. Yep, there's no way around it; Mario's a commie.

Note: If you are to see the People's Mario flash movie, make sure to see the original version, by the original author (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/307402) instead of that crappy low-quality copy with audio that seems to have been played through crappy PC-speakers and then re-recorded (with some additional smattering from a keyboard in the background) linked to in the post linked to in the OP. There's quite a difference.

Yes. Unabatedly, the people that created Nintendo were propaganda distributors, trying to cash in on Christmas and their Communist goals at the same time. And they were so successful too. The taking of the flag, the upheaval of the king. Yes. Duck hunt was the follow up to this too, teaching children to shoot at pixelated ducks to rid them of silly notions of forgoing shooting things so that the Communist upheaval could be carried out if a peaceful coup could not be achieved.

Next time, I'll tell you the real truth behind the original Little Mermaid cover.

What communist would be willing to side with one royal family (that princess) over another (king bowser or whatever)? He would have killed both if he was a communist. Then split with his brother over a disagreement while analysing the nature of the Soviet Union.

He'd probably kill Peach's family and force Peach to bring forth an heir to the chancellorship of the new Soviet begining ;)

But wasn't she the only one who had the power to bring back mushroom people who were placed in stone by Bowser? Thus meaning that even though she would be Mario's ideological enemy he would need her for his advantage. Plus MArio being Stalinist wants more wealth for himself whilst his new army all have to follow the teachings of John Marx. So on second thought it is possible for Mario and Peach to marry. Forget my notion on him killing her family he'll need them to bring in the dough.

Bribery, Blackmail, extortion, puppet governments, and the fact that if one of the toads stood up, they could just whack the family.

I don't beleive the mushroom people and MArio are mafia enough. They're way too flowery and rosy as in their sprites all have a happy theme. Bowser maybe, but he also has a fascist army warlord theme as well. The shells for his beetles ans koopa troopas resemble GI infantry helmets used particularly by Germans in WWII. Germans were Stalin's enemy. Check out this invasion Bowser executed here (http://tppto.ytmnd.com/)

Project MARIO was the Mushroom kingdom's first attempt at human cloning. LUIGI were considered to be initially failed attempts at cloning MARIO. However they did find that keeping LUIGI alive could also be beneficial and cloning was allowed to proceed on the failed MARIO clones. This was of course provided that they could find somebody to lead the LUIGI into battle. But that is a story for another day.

They first used the MARIO on a rescue attempt on the Mushroom king. However they found that MARIO were rather incompetent MARIO clones were susceptible towards getting high off of mushrooms all the time. So they tried utilizing the LUIGI instead and found the same problem. So they began research that allowed the MARIO and LUIGI to be able to use these mushrooms towards their advantage. All the research they had done had left the coffers of the mushroom kingdom rather empty but they were able to succeed to some extant.

The MARIO and LUIGI were left in an unstable state and became rather aggressive. They attacked anything in their path and even began mugging the locals and robbing banks. They also found out that MARIO and LUIGI were very hostile towards each other and attacked on sight. So the MARIO and LUIGI were kept in stasis until they were needed and that they could only utilize them one at a time.

Then came the first abduction of the princess by local freedom fighters lead by escaped experiment BOWSER. So they set the MARIO loose in their territory and they proceeded to stomp on all the civilians and rob any money that they could find. This money was immediately sent back so that they could continue the cloning process should a MARIO fall in battle


Don’t you see, Mario cant be a communist, he’s a battle ready clone without a soul and doesn’t care about politics so long as he can rape and pillage the land and tear down those anti-gravity brick walls some politician though would look good to place throughout the land.

If anything, Mario was an anarchist. Going whereever he pleases, taking money, mushroom, flower and other stuff at his leisure. He fights whoever he encounters and try to bring down the government. Good thing the mushroom kingdom saw it coming and manipulated him into liking a princess so the system would not fall.
