With the upcoming release of Super Mario Odyssey, a debate has grown over whether Mario is a human being or not. Nintendo insists he is human, despite the fact that he looks nothing like the other humans walking around in Odyssey.

Now Nintendo is adding more fuel to the "but is Mario a real human" fire with a newly released music video, in which Mario jumps around and dances among IRL humans in a realistic rendition of New Donk City.

Listen: It's not right. Mario isn't human. I don't care what Nintendo says and I don't care what anyone else thinks. This thing that's known as "Mario" isn't human. It's an abomination.

Stop lying to us Nintendo. You can't keep getting away with this.
