[@SorcererLance]

I'm gonna assume China's censorship with Mario's pirate outfit was due to the skull symbol, I recall there's been a consistent amount of times China demanded media be censored whenever it came to living skeletons, zombies... generally supernatural things associated with the occult I believe. China nearly banned Disney's movie Coco, but it got a rare free pass as the censors loved the the movie's message of the importance of family, despite the movie predominantly being populated by living skeletons. But this is just my guess, there might be something against pirates or not wanting a depiction of a pirate be portrayed in a positive light. As for the gesture once done by Inkling and Bowser, while nowadays interpreted as an "up yours" gesture, it wasn't always so. There's that historically famous WW2 propaganda poster of Rosie the Riveter saying "we an do it!", it's my assumption Japan post-WW2 took a look at our old posters and likely interpreted the gesture and message to mean "we shall be victorious". We still see Japanese characters doing that gesture, often overly-confident characters like Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter doing it all the time in an arrogant way to insist they're guaranteed to win, usually prematurely, and often for comedic sake having it blow up in their faces. Though Japan likely missed the memo the gesture's meaning changed in the west since those olden days. Heck, it could also be interpreted with Rosie the Riveter just pulling her sleeve back to show off her bicep and implying "we have the strength to overcome" as the underlying message. Again, my personal observation/conclusion, I could be wrong.

The reason the boos wear cat ears rather than bunny ears in TTYD is that (for some reason) the Playboy bunny outfit is copyrighted, at least in the US. Nintendo didn't want any unnecessary lawsuits and thus changed the ears. Rereleases of Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. would also recieve higher age ratings in some regions, kinda like Kirby's Dream collection. Also the pirate outfit's appearance was most likely censored because of those laws against gore in Chinese videogames, even though the Skull is cartoony. As for why it's renamed, maybe China just hates pirates because of the whole stereotype about China producing pirated and bootleg media?

Say, this is quite interesting to note about the censorship of various Nintendo games, primarily Mario games most of all. Of particular note, in Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, when Mario chats with certain NPCs, his raised flat hand to the air gesture looks a lot like a Nazi salute, so Nintendo had to modify that to not make Mario do that to avoid Nazi implications. Also, I can note the reason why Nintendo altered Kamek's dialog in Mario Party 8 when he said "spastic", which in the United Kingdom is considered offensive because it refers to people who have disabilities and that is why Nintendo altered the dialog to make Kamek say "erratic" instead. With all of those censored moments that I can note and observe here, those are just some notable examples where Nintendo had to censor certain things so as to avoid controversy and possible backlash.

IIRC the whole Vivian situation is a bit more complicated than her just being trans. The words used in japanese are the same as for male crossdressers who still identify as male, so it's difficult to tell if she was legitimately supposed to be trans in Japanese, as even Goombella refers to her as male.

Yeah Birdo has been pretty controversial. Also in Melee, they use "She/Her" in her description, and in Origami King they use those pronouns as well. It's basically confirmed that she is female, but in the east, it's almost as if they're purposefully offending her by using male pronouns since they used that original description from SMB2 (Which is very much transphobic, since Birdo herself identifies as a woman yet they still call her a man). I've got friends who happen to be trans, that love Birdo bc of that and it makes them feel represented. It's a very similar case to Vivian from TTYD lol

[@ballisticboo7808]

I just put the inconsistencies down to Birdo canonically being gender fluid

[@arielglr7177]

My headcannon is that Birdo is transgender, and now Nintendo refers to her as a woman due to respect

[@walkerphillips2818]

She’s a girl.

[@Eucalyptus_Sage]

@@walkerphillips2818 yep, that's my point. She is a girl, and people should refer to her as a girl

[@hatsunemikufortnite]

@@walkerphillips2818 epic transphobia fail

Also, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, for some reason in the American Version (not sure for others) when there is a player from Hong Kong in your lobby their flag won’t appear.

oh my goodness Mario's got problems

You forgot luigi also said "oh my god" in mario party 1.

7:40 I find it very hard to believe that the Inkling girl was doing an "up yours" gesture. The much more probable (and -child friendly- explanation) Is that shes mimicking the gesture of the woman on the "We Can Do It!" poster from 1943. It's not that big of a stretch, if you think about it. Inkling girl, at least as far as the games go is depicted as a very strong, independent girl; The exact demographic of the poster. As for Bowser in Super Mario RPG, i'm guessing hes doing the same general gesture of pulling back an imaginary sleeve to flaunt biceps.

Well..... No matter what you do....... sometime, YOU CAN'T SATISFY EVERYONE!!!!!!

Miyamoto has confirmed that birdo is a girl despite past confusion

9:40 not in all versions ! In the french version it's still alcohol, a "Grand Cru", to be precise, but the texture is indeed the censored one

Speaking of thousand year door, you have no idea how much time my brother and I spent jumping into the gallows to see if we could hang mario.

The one where Mario wears a sombrero I actually got that version of it on a painting of Mario odyssey

[@Just_an_icy_lad]

It's on a painting if they change it

[@Just_an_icy_lad]

Huh?

[@Just_an_icy_lad]

If they did then my painting didn't change

[@CharlyHyo]

the censorship of Mario with the "sombrero" was by a group of women who came out to say that he was a demigrant, when these women were from the United States, not Mexican or from Latin America, she was just a stupid person who felt that we were offended when we were happy to see that on the game, because in Mexico and South America we liked that cover. But as I said, a group of American women were offended when they didn't even know
