Speak softly, and carry a 57 megaton stick!

Here is a neat thing I found on the web just now. Unless you live under a rock, you know who Super Mario is and the game that launched the Nintendo console system. However, there is a darker side of the mustachiod wonder that not many have seen. Given that the Soviet Union was still considered a threat in 1985, it seems that the people of Nintendo wanted to hedge their bets in case of a communist takeover in the US. Here is the evidence. There is some derogatory language in this so be forwarned. ![]() To anyone raised in the 80’s, few names have such impact as the Super Mario Brothers do. We played their video games, watched their cartoon show, read their newsletter, bought their merchandise, ate their breakfast cereal, and even watched the piece of sh*t movie “The Wizard” starring the young, chubby cheeked miscreant Fred Savage because Super Mario Brothers 3 made an appearance. But aside from the slightly racist stereotyping of Mario and Luigi as food loving, NY fat bodies with ridiculous Italian accents, was there anything really insidious behind the scenes? The staff here at Murderize.com has found something more, something… sinister… lurking behind the moustached countenances of Mario and Luigi. We don’t have enough evidence to prove anything, just a sparse trail of breadcrumbs to follow. And this trail begins with the game that started it all, Super Mario Bros. Beware brainwashed fools, for this stunning expose will change the way you look at your favourite Nintendo hero forever. No longer the innocent Brooklyn plumbers, it now appears Mario and Luigi are nothing more than communist puppets engineered to program, oh so subtly, Marxist ideals into our impressionable minds! Exhibit A: Mario’s Colour Scheme If anything can be said about Mario, it is that he seems to wear quite a bit a red. It’s on his name; it’s the colour of his suspenders, his super mushrooms, his flag, even his hat. But maybe this is all just a string of coincidences. Maybe the colour red being all over Mario and his games means nothing. After all, he’s not entirely red - his hair, shirt and shoes aren’t.... ![]() Or are they? ![]() Is this just a random occurrence by the Nintendo programmers, or was red selected intentionally and with purpose? Exhibit B: The People’s Hero The inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom are portrayed by Nintendo as slow-witted, poorly coordinated beasts of burden. Even Toad, who oddly enough gets captured in every world, seems only able to repeat a singular phrase. While Mario is supposedly fighting against a tyrannical Despot, we can see how expendable the people become when they hinder Mario’s bloodthirsty pursuit for power. Exhibit C: King Koopa While Mario’s quest to save the princess seems genuine enough, we find ourselves easily distracted from the real result of this adventure- the deposition of the current monarchy. Few notice the significance of the villain of this game, King Koopa, being an actual king. ![]() While Mario is smashing and stomping his way across the Mushroom Kingdom, a popular government is being overthrown! Does this not bring our minds to the Russian Revolution, where the entire Royal family was deposed and executed by communists? Is the portrayal of kings as vile reptiles not an important message? One wonders what will become of the Princess he is attempting to “rescue” once Red Mario seizes power himself… Exhibit D: Mario’s Flag Switching At the end of each level, Mario must remove a flag and raise his own. As with every other duplicit facet of this game, nothing seems wrong here. But upon closer inspection the flags involved show exactly where Mario’s loyalties lie: ![]() Hmm, a flag with the peace symbol on it. Your militant dictatorship can’t have that, now can it Mario? Once the castle is seized and the resident leader sacked (and thrown into a lake of fire), we see no more clearly what Mario’s intentions are, than when he raises his own flag of victory. What’s that flying high over the ramparts? The Peace symbol of the Mushroom Kingdom? The Stars and Stripes? The Olive Branches of the United Nations? No, we can see quite clearly it’s the Star of Russia. Go check for yourself, these pictures are not faked. ![]() Exhibit E: Mario’s Family Resemblance? Video game heroes are traditionally people we would like to emulate. Sonic the Hedgehog is fast and quick-witted. The Contra commandos are total badasses, even if they die in one hit. And Link wields a cool sword and has a harem of hot fairy bitches waiting off of him. What kid worth his legos wouldn’t want to be any of these fine role models? Why then, as their flagship hero, does Nintendo choose an overweight, big-nosed plumber with an ungainly moustache and ridiculous suspenders? Why was this, the most unlikely heroic figure, chosen? Unusual yes…but deliberate? Looking at the evidence in light of this new Communist hidden agenda, the answer for this mystery is obvious. Mario, and his short-lived brother, are none other than cartoon representations of Joseph Stalin. Stalin was Russia’s amicus humani, amor patriae or communist super man. So could this “super” Mario represent another “super” man? Well, that is for you to decide. ![]() ![]() A Case in Communism: The Super Mario Story One peaceful day in the Mushroom Kingdom.... ![]() ![]() ![]() Will Mario be stopped? ![]() Will Mario’s brain smashing, gold stealing ways ever end? Find out what King Koopa has to say... ![]() ![]()

Doctortobe, At first I thought your post was tongue-in-cheek, but it wasn't, was it?

It was supposed to be, but the evidence fits so well that it is kinda discomforting isn't it? |

You do know that through similar reasoning one can prove that Santa Claus is a communist. He wears red He treats everyone who believes in him equally He doesn't like Jews (sorry - couldn't resist that one, but it is communistic )I'm sure there are more - but I can't remember them right now. I do remember debating this (I was on the debating team) when I was in High School. |

Merciful heavens! The red menace is greater then I thought! Obviously this is a campaign to undermine our youth! Strange, I can no longer see the pictures. Does anybody else see them? |

Doctortobe, Of course you can't, and it's not so strange. You have been controlled. We have taken them away.

Actually, I think that the fact that I merely linked them from the site instead of downloading them caused a bit of a bandwith bite at the site. |

Definitely an interesting read.
The author of that article/expose forgot to mention the pinnacle of all that is Super Mario... Super Mario Bros. the movie with Bob Hoskins, John Lequizamo and Dennis Hopper. Now that movie deserved an Oscar!

Ahhh, but maybe you only wanted me to wish so because I wished you to want me to wish so as well. Hey, maybe we can hold this up to two mirrors facing one another?
