Mario's Peace Sign

[Tingrio]

I've noticed since Super Mario 64 DS that Mario has replaced his peace sign with some new sign where Mario throws his fist up in the air. In my opinion, Mario should have his peace sign back because he's a lot cooler with it and it's an original pose. What do you think of Mario's new victory sign?

I'm not sure how to answer the question.  O_O

I voted for the peace sign,I like it when people (or videoGame characters) Enforce peace.

I think it stands for victory, not peace.

So...yes = peace sign, and no = fist thingy?

The V isn't for victory.

It's V for vendetta

I think in Mario's case, the "Peace" sign is actually the "V for Victory" sign.  But yeah, I want the that sign back too. "Peace," "V for Victory"; they have the same hand gesture, so it can go either way.

I like the victory sign. Mario is the original victory sign character. He made it very popular in the video game world.

I think the poll would be more successful if instead of saying yes or no, since I do not know which is which,  you said "peace" or "fist."

That Victory sign has been around way longer than Mario.  I've seen a picture of Winston Chuchill with the Victory sign.  Back then, it had to have stood for Victory.  Then, sometime around the 60's, that 'V' sign became popular among the 'Hippies', who used it as a sign of Peace to protest against the Vietnam War.  Finally, a Japanese video game company (not 100% sure when Mario first started his victory pose with the 'V' sign) decided to make a sprite of their mascot flashing that sign.  Thus, the "V for Victory" sign became popular among gamers.

I'm saying that Mario has used it more than anyone else. He made it popular. Not some sprite.

I was referring to a famous sprite of Mario.  The one from SMW where he strikes the 'V' Peace sign for his victory pose.  I like to strike the victory/peace sign whenever I accomplish something tricky on a video game.  Why?  Because it regained popularity with Mario and some anime characters frequently striking it.
