Who would have thought that the cheerful and sunny 'Mario' would also use profanity?! In the world of electronic gaming, it's not uncommon to encounter scenes where characters use profanity. Games like "Borderlands," "The Witcher 3," and "Call of Duty" are filled with NPCs who use colorful language, adding a sense of realism to the gaming experience. However, profanity is generally associated with "Mature" or higher-rated "adult games" due to its explicit and offensive nature. Have you ever considered the possibility of such profanity making its way into family-friendly, all-ages games, especially in a renowned IP like "Super Mario"? Nintendo's flagship "Mario" franchise welcomed its latest installment, "Super Mario Bros.: Wonders," on October 20. This 2D side-scrolling game marked the return of the "retro" style of Mario games after an 11-year hiatus, much to the anticipation of fans. Nintendo, true to form, responded to player expectations with exceptionally high-quality work. The game has an average rating of 93 on Metacritic, and well-known gaming media outlets like IGN and GameSpot gave it high scores, making "Super Mario Bros.: Wonders" arguably the best "2D Mario game" to date. However, what's different from the overwhelmingly positive reception is that "Super Mario Bros.: Wonders" faced some "disasters" prior to its official release, with the game being leaked a week before. Such leaks are not uncommon in Nintendo's realm, as almost every game has faced premature exposure. Fortunately, "Super Mario Bros.: Wonders" didn't suffer the fate of serious spoilers like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" or "Xenoblade Chronicles 3," and there weren't heated battles on various community forums due to spoilers. Perhaps because there wasn't much to spoil in "Super Mario: Wonders," players who got their hands on it ahead of time decided to find other ways to have fun with the game, like turning the "chatty flowers" into a profanity-spewing "obscene flower." A player named "Contendo" took the opportunity to create a mod for "Super Mario Bros.: Wonders" that caused the "chatty flowers" in the game to frequently spew vulgar language such as "F***" and "S***." The "chatty flowers" are a new character introduced by Nintendo in this game, serving as a guiding NPC that provides narrative and guides players through the game. These flowers are scattered throughout the game, randomly offering comments when players interact with them, adding a touch of liveliness to the adventure. Perhaps because the "chatty flowers" had too much to say, it triggered a rebellious response from some players who wanted to see them filled with profanity. Although this mod that transformed the "chatty flowers" into vulgar characters received a warm welcome from many players, it quickly caught the attention of Nintendo. According to Contendo, Nintendo issued a copyright warning against him and requested platforms to remove videos related to the mod. Nintendo has always been extremely strict about controlling the copyrights of its products, and Contendo's mod was seen as having a detrimental impact on both the image of "Mario" and the mental well-being of young audiences. It's not surprising that the "Strongest Legal Department in the Eastern Hemisphere" acted swiftly. While Nintendo managed to take down the profane mod for the "chatty flowers," it doesn't mean that players won't create other types of mods. According to another mod author, "teesam," "Super Mario Bros.: Wonders" uses an engine very similar to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," making it relatively easy to "modify" the game. If what teesam said is true, it won't be long before we see even more explicit mods than the "obscene flowers." After all, once you're on PC, you have a lot more freedom to customize your gaming experience!
