In the german translation of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Chuckola Cola was actually called "Witzwein", which straight up translates to "Joke Wine" in English.

0:46 Kirby is just a baby, yet he already knows the basics of cocktail making? Impressive.

I love in Wii Punch-Out!! that Soda Popinski basically fights drunk. It's a fantastic touch.

There is no way that he drinks a bunch of soda and still be muscular. When I did track in school my coach said that soda makes people dehydrated.

Alcohol has less of a stigma compared to tobacco, since drinking is far more common than smoking.

[@yeetuszilla1663]

Some of these are completely fine. Alcohol exists, the Mario quiz cards for example are literal trivia about cooking and history. And the Mario picross one is fine, drawing a glass of a beverage of any sort is no problem.

[@Josue_S_6411]

Drinking a bit too much alcohol does fit Wario's personality.

0:35 they did not re record the line they just censored it💀

[@DoctorNovakaine]

Surprised you didn't show the Earthbound ones. Several references to bars/drinking in the Japanese version were censored in the international version.

[@timothypitcher7996]

1: F-Zero GX is a Teen-rated game, so I can see references to alcohol being mentioned in it. 2: The Mix ability icon tends to be rather subtle in most cases. 3: The Chateau Romani could just be top quality milk, but since not just anyone can buy that kind of drink, it does suggest that it contains an extra chemical (which would explain why Link gains an infinite magic meter upon consuming it). In fact, Gorman's behavior further suggests that the Chateau Romani is not the kind of drink to be consuming in a reckless manner. 4: Champagne consumption is censored outside of Japan. Think about the target audience here. 6: Replaced the mug with what's called "insanity bombs" outside of Japan. 8: Outside of Japan, Soda Popinski drinks sodas for his strength. But in the Wii version's Title Defense mode, he gains access to an energy-boosting elixir, which enhances his power and speed (at the expense of making himself more vulnerable to counterattacks with each failed attempt to hit Little Mac). It should also be noted that the elixir eventually turns Soda Popinski red when too much of it is consumed (a sign that it's very dangerous for the human body to take). 10: Link couldn't get the Noble Pursuit in Breath of the Wild (due to being a teen), but he can in Tears of the Kingdom, which is a strong indicator that he's officially an adult in the latter game. 12: When a trophy strongly resembles a wine glass.

[@DarknesstheHedgehog6]

Actually the Noble Pursuit in totk is non alcoholic. Basically she says she wanted to make a version that can be enjoyed by children.

[@timothypitcher7996]

@@DarknesstheHedgehog6 Link is 6 years older than in Breath of the Wild though, so you would think that he's old enough to legally purchase an adult drink.

[@FireLight_Zero]

Don't forget Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Near the end, Mythra offers Rex a drink, though she does immediately remember he's underage. Not to mention his wish that he and final boss Malos could just drink to resolve the issue at hand.

[@GlitchanBlack]

That Mix Kirby icon in Super Star is pure GOLD.

[@22dolls19]

In Dragon Quest IX (including the english/international Nintendo port), one quest late in the main story includes bringing a special alcoholic drink to the local dragon higher up the mountain (forgot the name though) EDIT: Said dragon is Greygnarl, and the drink you bring him is named 'Drunken Dragon'.

[@zigazav1]

You see though, Dragon Quest is allowed to have mature content in that franchise, it's not a Nintendo owned franchise. It belongs to Square Enix (and the character design is done by Dragonball creator Akira Toriyama) and therefore, is not censored unless Nintendo forces them to. Nowadays though, Nintendo isn't nearly as strict with censorship by non-Nintendo game dev companies, as they were in the past.

[@22dolls19]

I mean, yes, it is from Square Enix. But the Nintendo port is still uncensored when Nintendo could have very well done the opposite

[@KirbyArchives]

Kirby Super Star Stacker also has art of Kirby and the Animal Friends drinking at a karaoke bar

[@nelsonreyes-alvarez605]

Dang didn’t realize at the results screen in Super Mario Kart they actually drink the bottle to be drunk in Japanese!

[@latexu9589]

7:40 "Chuckola Cola" is a direct reference to a soda of the same name from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, which is made of the fruits from Chucklehuck Woods.😉

[@TGCLCommanderAlan94]

I love how you use soda popinski's theme.

[@notyetimnot406]

[@djboost4443]

Nintendo unity, in animal crossing new horizons, when you start the game up and Isabelle is doing the announcements just right next to her looks to be like brubon drink

[@koiyune]

its probably cola or iced tea, it doesn't imply that it's brubon. unless you remeber isabelle's random comments when you don't actually have any news "oh, have you seen that new tv show? nevermind..."

It's more mature, but Fire Emblem is still a Nintendo-owned franchise. One of the very few franchises of Nintendo, that the devs are not heavily restricted of using any mature content in them.

And then, of course, he was in the BET race afterwards, DUI. Just sayin'.....

YES! Someone else remembered this! I was really surprised that this one was overlooked by this video, I remember being kind of shocked that they'd show a character in the race who had been getting visibly smashed just before.

Remember, that was back when anything on a Nintendo-made console, of localized games, had to be censored to be more family friendly, regardless of who truly owns the rights to the franchise. In the Switch era, they typically don't force 3rd party developers to censor their games.

Chuckola cola is in both superstar saga and paper mario because those series are actually in the same universe

[@zigazav1]

Uh, I don't think I can believe you of Mario & Luigi, and Paper Mario, being in the same universe. Paper Jam clearly shows that Mario and Paper Mario, are two different living beings, as they both are existing at the same time in the same world. And I doubt there's any time traveling to make that happen. I don't even need to play the game to find that out. We can't use the Partners in Time time travel excuse why two different Marios can exist at the same time. Any references to the Mario & Luigi RPG series in Paper Mario games, is moreso there as a nice reference for those who have played games from both RPG series of Mario. I have this feeling, that the "connection" between Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi RPG games, is that everything that happens in Paper Mario games, all happen in a book series that characters from the main Mario universe canon, can find at a book store or something. That includes Mario & Luigi RPGs as main Mario canon. Of course, this is just me guessing from what info of games I have played, has presented to the player
