Did you ever hear that "Mario's for babies" or "Yoshi's Gay" (I only suggested it due to someone else's comment). Well, I think that Mario games were meant to be happy. Like "Pleasant Path" and "Sunshine Coin" make me feel warm. I love Yoshi's Story, yes I do. And the big happy heart is cool. But other people might think less of these. Thanks to Shigeru, more kids will grow up to be happy citizens with peace in their heart, and eliminate evil. Mario is the role model of these. Personally, I like happy. Its not gay, but its pure good. No mortal guns and blasting and blood, just happy characters that jump and collect coins and talk italian. Best!
