Title: Japanese version of Mario Kart 64 signs
Post by: violet_yoshi on May 24, 2005, 05:18:32 AM
I was thinking, while you're probaly right that Nintendo changed the Japanese parody sites of American companies so they wouldn't get sued.
They also might've changed the Marioro sign, because in effect it would be kind of like advertising ciggerettes to minors. I mean, like with Joe Camel. If kids associated Mario with smoking, well that'd just be wrong.

If I hadn't been told that was a parody of "Marlboro," I wouldn't have noticed it. But I do agree that they could have made a parody of something less vile...
