NintendoAccording to Twitter user ujiidow, Nintendo did a great thing: they seem to have accidentally used uJiidow’s unofficial version of Mario instead of a real one on the Super Nintendo World website that went live yesterday. What is this, Between us?
Here are the two images, for reference, with the unofficial one on the left, and the real one on the right:
… Yes, it’s hard to say, is it not. They both look like Mario after all.
Here’s ujiidow’s capture of the site and what it looks like now:
(Update: the picture is still there – it’s used as a loading icon on the site. Here’s what it looks like 🙂
Further investigation led to the fact that the maker of the scam Mario also discovered the coolest_luigi handle on Reddit, where they first posted the image. How very suspicious. We are not saying that this is the classic conspiracy of ‘younger brother gets jealous, sabotages’, but we are not not say it.
Of course, this is not the first time that Mario looks a lot like anyone else, is it? We all played Super Mario Sunshine, and we all know how it played out.
