'Super Mario Odyssey' fans can't stop putting Mario in sexually compromising positions
The pretense that Nintendo's games exist in this pure, innocent, sexless vacuum is collapsing all around us.
Last week's shocking(ly small) reveal of Mario's Nintendo Official(TM) penis was just the tip (pun intended) of the iceberg. Even before its release, a Nintendo Direct on Super Mario Odyssey definitively proved the existence of the hard-working plumber's nipples.
But the screenshots now being captured by fans through the game's robust photo mode have uncovered a whole new side of Mario's sexuality. And tbh, we're pretty into it.
As an anatomically correct virtual human being, Mario deserves the chance to explore his sensual side, too. Who are we to say he's wrong for "laying down some pipe," so to speak?
So say goodbye to your childhoods, everyone. And gaze upon the sexiest, horniest, most inappropriate moments from Mario's journey through a sexual awakening as embarked upon by his fans.
