Super Mario Bros. nazis? (http://www.dkvine.com/features/nazis.html)
I happened to stumble upon some rather bizarre information that links the Super Mario Bros. back to hitler.
The first real example of this was in Mario Party, when we were completely shown Wario in 3-D. Many of his voice-overs sounded like they were German. The most prominent example of this was his frequent cry of "Ach tung!", which roughly translates to "Oh, tongue" for some reason. "Ach tung" would go on to be used in Mario Party 2, as well as Mario Tennis. If you\'ll notice the screenshot, all the characters in Mario Party seemed to at least subconciously know Wario\'s evil Naziesque intents, and tried to kill him. In this particular example, Koopa Troopa bombed Wario, but just barely missed.

If that doesn\'t remind you of WW2 I don\'t know what will. But wait, there\'s more convincing information.
If you are at all familiar with Nazis, you\'ll immediately recognize what\'s going on in this picture. This picture of Wario from Mario Golf, and Waluigi from Mario Tennis shows them performing the Nazi salute to their leader, Adolph Hitler. In this salute, the Nazis would cross their arms across their chests and stick them straight up in the air, while saying "Heil Hitler". Both of the Wario Brothers are very obviously doing that in these games, much to my dismay.

Now, I don\'t want to start another religion thread, but is Nintendo sending the messege that Neonazism is ok? They don\'t even recoginize what they\'re doing, it\'s subliminal. It could cause some havoc. One last thing, it\'s more of a scare than anything else.
Lastly, this picture proves just how evil Waluigi is. In Mario Tennis, when Waluigi scores a point, he does the aforementioned Nazi salute, followed by his eyes eerily glowing. If you think this screenshot was doctored, try it for yourself in the game. It\'s quite creepy, and shows just how evil and completely wrong the policies of the Nazis are.

That\'s just a scary sight to look at. What suprises me most about this article is how the man knows so much about Nazi\'s. He claims to have learned about them in Indiana Jones movies, but I find that highly ridiculous. Anyway, I am thuroughly convinced by this article that the mario bros are somehow related or based on Hitler. Whether or not it was Nintendo\'s intention to do this is unknown, probably not due to their enforcement of "E" rated games. Is this Nintendo\'s way of saying, were not just for kids, or is it some bizarre coincidence that the Mario Bros. have a strong resemblence to Hitler. I\'ll let you decide.

Alas, I\'ve been on this bandwagon for years...
P.S. I think Link was a commie spy....
-
And Donkey Kong is personally responsible for all suffering in thrid world countries. Kirby is responsible for AIDS and Cancer. Oh, and don\'t even get me started on Pikachu...
-
This does come as a little shocking, plus the fact that all the main guy characters in the mario series always have that little mustache. Mario, Luigi, Wario..uh and so on...

santa claus was a communist, because he wore a red suit.

Biggest bunch of crap I\'ve ever heard. :laughing:

Achtung means \'beware\', not \'oh, tongue\'. :p

lame
i mean come on this is so stupid i cant believe it
why would nintendo - a japenese game dev have anything to do with nazism
i mean give me a break
-
Mario Brothers are Italian... obviously based on the memory of Benito Mussolini
Nintendo is a Japanese company
That\'s two of the three Axis powers, why shouldn\'t they pay homage to the Furher as well? I don\'t find this so far fetched... :laughing:
-
Those details were really silly and I didn\'t really see some of the things they mentioned.... Just looks like a bit of Nintendo bashing.

The reason for the mustache is that a real mouth was too hard to draw on the original NES.

I was thinkin the same thing, this is obviously a joke...
and not a funny one either.
Hey, I have a picture of Jar \'O Pickles holding his kid and I swear his son is flashing a gang sign. So, you know, its funny.

Oh my bad, I thought this was serious and the author was trying ot prove a point :rolleyes:
Yeah, I know it\'s a joke, but its a lame one. Pointing out the simplest and most irrelevant of things that aren\'t even funny.

Billy gunn, my parents tell me that i play too many video games but after what you just said...well I\'m not sure to stop playing video games all together so I don\'t turn out like that or b play as much as i want because I know that ill never turn out like you...well thanks
and yes.....
Peach= Hooker, spread aids
Toad- Soldier in soviet union
Kirby- started world war 1 and 2
Fox- is the reason why we have a air force he inspired us
Yoshi- reason why Elien Gonzalez went back to Cuba
Luigi- reason why Flordia recounted all the ballots
that all made no sense
and Chizzy Link was a spy for the commies and he always reported to Zelda

didn\'t write the article, don\'t blame the messenger.

YOu people noticed that only now? They are KKK members since 89 please, ;) stop watching CNN and look at the real world. Mario Bros. = Evil :laughing:

And the plot thickins.......*grabs trenchcoat, hat and high powered rifle and hides in a tree waiting for a little cartoon character too show up and blow me off the face of the earth* Um, really people lets think about this logically. Mario couldn\'t be a neo nazi. Maybe his creators but not him. Geez.

Joke? What is this jo-oke that you speak of?
