Mario Sued for Cultural Appropriation
Written by Disgruntled Plumber - Tuesday, Aug 15, 2023 at 11:06am
In a stunning twist of events, the Mushroom Kingdom is facing a legal battle that has left its citizens more puzzled than a Goomba trying to solve a Rubik's Cube. The infamous anti-hero Wario has announced that he's filing a lawsuit against none other than his perennial rival, Mario, for the audacious act of cultural appropriation. Yes, you read that right – the portly plumber is being accused of copying Wario's distinctive style in games like "Super Mario Odyssey" as an all-too-light-hearted costume and in "Super Smash Bros." in what is referred to as an alternate skin. From the classic yellow and purple ensemble to the dapper explorer's outfit, Mario seems to have a penchant for dressing up like he's auditioning for a role in the WarioWare universe. Is this homage or outright theft? The jury's still out, but they're probably dressed in some sort of questionable attire themselves.
Wario's lawsuit is based on the argument that Mario's appropriation of his culture is harmful to the Wario community. Wario claims that Mario's costumes make the Wario community look like a bunch of lazy, greedy slobs.
"Mario always portrays us as being lazy and greedy," Wario said. "But that's not who we are. We're hard-working, honest people. We just have a different way of doing things."
Mario has not yet responded to Wario's lawsuit. However, his lawyer, Charles Martinet, has said that Mario will "vigorously defend" himself against the allegations.
"Mario is a beloved icon of the gaming world," Martinet said. "He would never do anything to intentionally harm another culture."
As we await the outcome of this unprecedented legal showdown, one thing is clear: the Mushroom Kingdom is a place where even the most mundane matters can escalate into the stuff of tabloid headlines. Until the gavel falls and a verdict is reached, we can only wonder if this lawsuit will be remembered as a groundbreaking legal battle or just another bizarre footnote in the annals of Mushroom Kingdom history.
