PETA vs. Super Mario 3D Land

328 Comments

PETA is not comprised of the brightest bunch of activists. They might do good work here and there (I think), but they’re also real life trolls who do stunts that make it impossible to take them seriously and thereby hurts their cause overall. In their latest campaign, they’re taking on Mario. Why? Because of the Tanooki suit in Super Mario 3D Land. Here’s what they’re saying:

When on a mission to rescue the princess, Mario has been known to use any means necessary to defeat his enemy — even wearing the skin of a raccoon dog to give him special powers. Tanooki may be just a “suit” in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it’s OK to wear fur.

I can see the connection. But the connection is oblivious to context. Mario is a cartoonish video game character, the game itself is not violent in any way (you don’t see Mario skinning alive racoon dogs), and the suit itself gives Mario special abilities, making it far removed from even the idea of real fur.

All in all, PETA is silly and needs to learn how to pick their battles.

Update: They’ve also launched a website with a Flash game parodying Mario, but with a bloodier theme. You can click here to play the game, or check after the break for a video of it in action.

    peta stop over reacting its just a game and in the game mario never killed a racoon to wear its fur

    • SparktehFox

      PETA really is completely retarded. They pulled the same bullshit not too long ago with Cooking Mama and got their asses handed to them by Nintendo after they got sued. These morons need to fall off the face of the earth, they’re making humanity itself an effing joke.

    • SparktehFox

      Chimichanga!!!

    • Mike S

      WTF did they have against a game about cooking, PEOPLE COOK ANIMALS EVERY FUCKING DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S NOTHING NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My Name Is NOT Earl

    lolwut?? i mean i am with them in against animal cruelty, but cmon, its a fucking videogame, its not like mario is really killing racoon in order to wear that…

    • Skylighter

      Yeah really, Doesn’t the suit come from a leaf which comes from a tree?

    • Crazycolorz5

      @Skylighter
      YOU’RE RIGHT!!! HE’S KILLING TREES NOT RACOONS! THEY’RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS!!! IT’S DEFINITELY RIGHT TO KILL TREES AND NOT RACCOONS; GET IT RIGHT, PETA!!!
      … jk!

  • guest

    It confuses me how the suit has been around for 23 years and they decide to attack it now. Are they bored?

    • Jared

      I think they just attack whatever’s popular at the time because it gets attention. I guess this means Super Mario 3D Land is a big deal, good news for the 3DS!

    • Lawrence

      So popular that if it was protested against then they would be popular! >:P Good for sm3dl anyway. The popularity and not the protesting.

  • Zack

    What the heck? lol that makes no sense. They might as well just accuse Mario of being violent because you stomp on goombas and turtles.

    • Sam

      PETA hasn’t said anything about the turtles, yet, have they?! XD. Seriously, the last thing a child is going to think about while playing this game is skinning a creature to get superpowers; they’ll most likely try to beat their friend’s. high score, or at the very least, complete the game and have fun, the way Nintendo intended.

  • Casper9999

    Fuck Them!!! Go Mario!

  • (insert name here)

    Next thing you know they’ll release a picture of Mario skinning a live animal. Mario might also do the same to you David if you do not take off that beanie on your head. Take this very seriously.

    • Liam

      They already posted that pic its gross

  • AncientBaby

    …You’re kidding me, right?

  • Symbol de Au

      #$*! You mario this skin belongs to an animal

    • Free of Birth

      That was worse than New super chick sisters

    • Mike S

      The only good thing that came out of that link is the picture of a real life Tanuki near the bottom, IT’S SO FREAKIN’ CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!! lol

    • Symbol de Au

      You guys are crazy. That game was awesome. Well at the least it occupied me for a few minutes.

  • Squish

    Oh silly PETA, I wish you would just disappear and let a serious group get attention. If they want to get support for their cause, I would recommend that they don’t make a highly loved character seem evil.

    • Some Fella

      I presume you excuse good natured parody from your last statement, right?

  • nintendofreak247

    Once their done ripping on the Tanooki Suit, I bet the Frog Suit is next on their list. Pathetic.

    • Shockwave527

      And maybe the boomerang suit next. Killing turtles so you can throw a boomerang! Sick!
      Then the propellor shroom, killing vegetables so you can fly! Disturbing!

      But seriously, WTF? Did they ever say anything when this game came out? Or about the penguin suit? Or ANYTHING about pokemon?

  • http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1695137/ Sarah

    Good old PETA. Always good for a laugh. ^_^

  • nintendofreak247

    Once they’re done ripping on the Tanooki Suit, I bet the Frog Suit is next on their list. Pathetic.

  • awesome

    mario dont listen to them they are just jealous

  • Joel K

    Silly PETA…

  • Free of Birth

    “Mario is sending the message that it’s OK to wear fur.”

    WE ARE NOT CAVEMEN, PETA!!

  • Nathdnath

    PETA um…. have you never played a mario game!!! Mario eats a leaf and a magic racoon suit appears on him……..HE NEVER KILLED A STUPID HALF RACOON HALF DOG DUDE…..GET A BRAIN!!!What if you were the Protection of Mushrooms Organisation! I bet you would be all over Mario right now and still we would play his games.

    • Nathdnath

      and its not like Mario goes Oh yes, I found a shotgun let me murder a racoon dog to harvest it fur and fly with it.

    • Nathdnath

      And animals wear animal fur so ha…..haha……….man,im bored today.

  • Eric

    It’s been years since this suit has been around and now it’s a fuss? Why were there no complaints to Mario wearing the turtle shells in NSMBW? Come on PETA, you’re derpin’…

    • ahmad

      actually, koopas are based on kappas, which in japanese mythology are demons

  • Naggy old mother

    PETA is right! They should ban the “Tannooki”! if they don’t, I’ll sue them!!!

    • THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

      Lol, I love how your name is Naggy Old Mother and the comment you made totally suits this character xD

  • http://Twitter.com/TheWaterWraith WaterWraith

    I always thought when Mario came in contact with an item that it transformed him, not that it just spawns a suit. Otherwise he wouldnt be able to use its abilities.

  • ColorblindMonk

    Oh PETA, nobody will ever take you seriously. Take this joke for example:

    How many PETA members does it take to change a light bulb? None. They can’t change anything.

    • Ttimer

      LOL :DKH

  • Wichi

    Ok let me understand this, they hate the tanoki suit… but the fact that Mario kills turtles all the time its just a sport or what?… haha I like so much the logic

  • Skylighter

    I’m surprised these guys don’t really carry about turtles…

  • Peter

    “Mario is sending the message that it’s ok to wear fur.”

    One facepalm was not enough to justify the idiocracy of that statement. Right now I have a head bandage due to excessive headdesking.

    • dubYA

      I believe the word you’re looking for is *idiocy*.

      Idiocracy is a movie, and a funny one at that.

  • http://www.facebook.com/fakkershuga Shuga

    They troll but i know they are playing super mario 3D land as we speak lmao, also he gets his tanooki powers from a leaf, it doesnt make any sense its just a coincidence

  • Ttimer

    well it wont bother me because REAL anti- animal abuse companies wont give retarded things like this. Next they will ban games from using harmless costumes like the tanooki suits or anything that has an animal part on it. I swear anyone will get mad at anything no matter how small and stupid it is. When i see this tanooki suit , i dont think “ANIMAL ABUSE!!!!” i say “how cute”

    YAY for KHDDD and Super Mario 3D Land

  • Symbol de Au

    It IS okay to wear fur.

    • THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

      I know right? Don’t we have clothes like that? ._.

    • THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

      They just want us to be NAKED and for Mario to be POWERLESS.

    • PINGAS

      Me Gusta

  • Ben

    Sonnic the hedgehog is bad because it gives people the idea that its ok to launch hedgehogs and throw rings at them.

    (Not english so dont start crying if i wrote the entire thing wrong. :P)

  • Jbluna

    What the fuck?…ok i want to know what they’re on…and if i can get some of it

  • Pete41608

    Wow, if they’re mad at Mario for that, imagine how mad they’ll be when they play SKYRIM…LOL

  • Balcan

    (sarcastic mode: on)

    Ok, so according to what PETA says, we should not touch any kind of brown leaf. If we do a little racoon dog will be killed in the world and you will be granted with the ability to fly moving your new tail.

    (sarcastic mode: off)

    • Nathdnath

      I laughed so hard when I read this.

    • THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

      (shocked mode)
      Holy crap, I’m not the only one who announces what mode I go into?!

    • Meh._.

      lol :L

  • pixelknot93

    KOOPA: TURTLE ABUSE!

    • Nutmeg

      lol

  • yoyo
    • lamp64

      deep bro, i support that

  • Tommy

    wasn’t tanooki actually some kind of japanese myth, like some kind of raccoon demon?

    • Nathdnath

      thats what I thought

    • zxride64

      It is actually Japanese for a raccoon dog.

    • Kazuki

      Basically every animal in Japan has some myth to it. The tanuki is known for its ability to transform leaves (hence the leaf that turns Mario into the tanooki suit) into stuff or even turn themselves into stuff. And they’re also well known for other… assets. They usually play pranks and stuff. Random note: Miyazaki made a movie a while back called “Pom Poko” where tanukis were the main characters.

    • Mrcoolsponge

      I’m pretty shore 99% of people don’t know wtf a tanooki is

    • Tommy

      What is a racoon dog anyway..?

  • Rey

    The f*ck do they wear for winter then?

  • http://www.gamesradar.com GameManiac

    *Rolls eyes* Here we go…

  • Game Over

    Tanooki may be just a “suit” in Mario games

    that’s exactly what it is RETARDS

  • DesignerNate

    This is really pathetic its simply a shameful attempt by a desperate organization to get noticed. Here’s an idea PETA, why don’t you take your mission for Animal Rights seriously and create serious respectful dialog with leading industries, instead of doing these stupid PR stunts. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE TOOLS, WHO DON’T DESERVE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

  • Alexandre

    trolololol lololol lololol lolololol

  • Nintendo3dslover7

    Wow… Pathetic. Just pathetic.

    • THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

      More like PETAtic! Get it? Cause… cause… yeah…

    Where’s Kaizar to make a South Park PETA reference?

    • leonidas

      he’s busy playing sm3dland i guess

      PETAGLOO!!

  • me1982

    I LOVE animals, but dang PETA is dumb! Mario gets his powers from a leaf! He doesn’t skin a animal and then puts it on. My god they really need to get a life! FAIL!

  • Liam

    They made a “game” ( I dare use the term lightly ) where your a nude dog chasing after Mario who has a bloody fur over him and in a bloody environment with bloody pipes, ground, sky, and mario. They also have some creepys pics of Mario skinning a raccoon thing. After you win the game it says: $@*# you Mraio!

    • CBNS

      WTF? PETA actually did a Mario game with animal cruelty. Awful PETA. It seems you guys want to see animal cruelty and blood in everyplace where it doesn’t even belong. No more donations to stupid people like that.

  • Kamon

    It’s a japanese legend..

  • Guy Montag

    Bull shit

  • thesupergamer85

    this is the dumbest crap i’ve ever heard who the f*** cares if mario wares fur its a frickin game no person is going to be influenced by that

  • http://twitter.com/#!/Kaboom_Krusader Kaboom

    Tonight I shall eat a cheeseburger in PETA’s honor.

    • SkaPunkMan89

      I’ll eat some steak, have some left over chicken, drink a whole lot of dairy, watch some films with animals in it, and whole lot more just for PeTA.

  • Dan

    for crying out load this is ridiculous! its mario for christs sake ¬_¬

  • thesupergamer85

    oh and also while their at it they better pick on the fact that mario kills turtles left and right its a f***in game

  • RAWR

    why billy corgen why?

  • Jbluna

    Whats next? Star fox premoting animals being sent to space?
    You should all watch this:

  • pixelknot93

    PETA finally knocked some sense into my head. I’m a monster. I cry every night knowing that I killed innocent little Goombas in New Super Mario Brothers. May let them rest in peace.

  • L1qu1d

    Eat some salad and shut up Peta members.

    I dont see any of you having a “human” side when we shoot other people and rip their heads off and mutilate them in games.

    But 1 f*cking leaf raccoon and all hell breaks loose.

    Continue Having sex with animals and leave us be, we don’t judge u!

    • Kazuki

      I think PETA thinks it would be better if humans just kill themselves… And I would judge them if they were copulating with animals.

    • L1qu1d

      I wouldn’t, they’ll die faster from disease. Or if your religious, Jebus’ got this!

      Every1 is happy.

      Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some leaf raccoons to wear while I make the Boomerang suit watch.

  • CBNS

    Mario turns to raccoon Mario after he gets special leaf. Mario doesn’t kill animals but chances to animals like mushroom makes mario bigger.

    PETA should use brains before acting like this or nobody will take those serious.

  • MrFun

    *slaps PETA with my tanooki tail*

  • jkt

    fuck me they kill what looks like people in call of duty, we are all going to hell in a handcart, its the end of the world i tells ya

  • Fayt

    Just saying, the Tanooki suit isn’t made of fur. It’s cloth like all the other suits.

  • http://deleted i’m Yoshi

    yoshiyoshi? aabobobobobo!

    (what the heck? this have to be a fucking joke)

  • Froggievilleus

    PETA is a very odd group of nut jobs and right now, for some reason, Mario is their target. It’s a video game people. At least Mario doesn’t have freezers full of dead animals, like PETA does.

  • Nathan Martinez

    Nobody complains about Luigi wearing a Tanooki suit….poor guy…never gets any attention…

    (P.S. gonna go make ma Tanooki suit now thanks to PETA’s idea)

  • Sadness

    Oh Slippy Toad I would never let you die again!! :(

  • Monk E

    I’m sorry, but this is just absolutely ridiculous. PETA is retarded!!

  • http://youtube.com/raftechblast RafBlast

    OMG really PETA?, Really?
    SMH
    *Facepalm*

  • sammaster9

    They are retarded… this reminds me of how recently the NAACP thought that in a space themed card when it said “black holes” that is said “black whores”…

    • dubYA

      The NAACP also considers the phrase “U MAD BRO?” to be racist.

      Both organizations are complete jokes these days.

  • Popipo

    I kind of agreeing with PETA on this strangely, they kind of have a point, obviously it’s too late, but it’s important to make people aware of this.

    • Kazuki

      But they go about it in the wrong, attention-grubbing kind of way that no one will listen to…

    • SleepyGuyy

      i admit this has that ” supporting old values of slaughter” kind of vibe, but what PETA fails to understand (and always has failed to understand) is that the root meaning is wear you need to point out these things. In this case they got it all wrong, Mario is a happy cartoony fairly non-violent figure. His Tanooki suit is not based on the market of slaughtering Tanuki, but the Japanese Floklore of mischief and fairytale. They dont understand what this really is and warp the scenario into a ridiculous message, while simultaneously disrespecting Japanese folklore! I’m just infuriated that there is such a powerful organization that is lead by stupid people….. although there are a lot of those around these days.

  • dubYA

    I don’t think anybody takes PETA seriously anymore because of shit like this.

    I remember a while back they tried to get Ben & Jerry’s to replace cow’s milk with human breast milk when making their ice cream. Apparently they think it humiliates the cows to be milked and consider it animal cruelty.

    And now they pull this shit… Either PETA is run by crazy people or total trolls. Probably both.

    • Eragon Fowl

      It would be more humiliating for female humans to do that.

    • dubYA

      Exactly, but it would appear that PETA holds the ethical treatment of animals in higher regard than the ethical treatment of humans. Seriously, why don’t they cry fowl at the dozens of shooters on the market that let you kill hundreds of people?

      Furthermore, why don’t they go after Skyrim for this? In that game you CAN actually kill animals, skin them and wear their pelts. Such hypocrisy… screw PETA.

  • mr koopah

    who the fuck is gonna skin a tanooki and wear it and run around with it? NOBODY

    • cdgallahue

      actually that’d be me. imma gonna skin me a tanooki and wear it to a peta rally while throwing roadkill at them

  • antiform47

    Wow. This is extremely far fetched even excluding the fact that its not even racoon skin, but a suit. Like an innicent child dressed up as a frog on holoween or something, its obviously not made from real frogs >_>

  • BUSTED

    And just NOW they realized that mario uses a tanooki suit, they’re just troling u_u. Let me tell you something PETA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e20ZNnLefZQ&list=FLd4TlUM-xom70KDde14j5UA&index=3&feature=plpp_video

  • Devinal215

    Wow seriously they’re complaning about wear raccoon dogs fur, then later you’ll see them start complaing about jumping on turttles and killing fish and what not. That’s just stupid, It’d not real c’mon!

  • Owen

    David, I stopped bothering with PETA back in 1998. Yeah, when I was BORN. These idiots don’t know what they’re talking about! Plus, isn’t the Tanooki suit based off of the mythical type of tanuki? Or even the in game one?

  • CRIMSON

    What’s happening with the forums?

  • sum_person

    um, ahem. Mario 3 anyone? Tanuki suit, FROG suit?

  • David

    Um what about King Kong? i dont see PETA naggin anyone in the movie buisness over skinning (giant) apes ! This is just an oppurtunity for them to beat their “agenda drum” a little louder and leach publicity off a game launch (off all things).I`m all for pretty much any animals protection, but this just stupid. lol

  • Samuel

    What the heck? We all really don’t care about that.Super Mario 3D Land is one of the best games ever!

  • Andrew

    pffff …Frank will be complaining next about Mario and his worrying dependancy on mushrooms!

  • ToastySD

    Ok, what the heck? Why would Mario kill racoon dogs? PETA is just dumb and bored.

  • Peter

    PETA sucks!!!

  • http://www.sundaughterpress.com Shroomgirl

    They DO know how to pick their battles. They are doing this purely for publicity – and look! They are getting it!

    • Xarreno

      If they new how to pick their battles, they wouldn’t pick on an innocent character like Mario. Granted, they are doing this for publicity, but in the wrong way. They’re bothering to use an icon that is irrelevant to their cause and thus receiving negative attention.

      If they were to question the gameplay of Skyrim, they could have full support for anyone against wearing pelts as clothes. However, gamers would protest because Skyrim is a game (like Mario) and is not a representation of modern culture. Mario is not the same case as it has nothing to do with wearing animal skin. Therefore they are not choosing their battles wisely.

  • creeaz

    THIS IS THE STUPIDEST PIECE OF CRAP EVER! THESE PEOPLE NEED LIVES. SCREW WHAT THEY THINK! HOW MANY KIDS DO WE SEE KILLING SQUIRRELS OR RACOONS OR WHATEVER AND WEARING THEIR FUR?! WHY ARE THEY JUST NOW DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? DO SOMTHING USEFUL FOR ONCE AND STOP WINING ON HOW YOU THINK THIS GAME IS “UNETHICAL.” I CAN GUARENTE THAT ALMOST NO ONE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW. GROW UP YOU BUMS!

    • creeaz

      Just stating my opinion

    • miiworld2

      @creeaz And I respect it 100%

      I mean… we don’t see them complain about all those tiny little creatures getting road-killed everyday on the highway, but they complain about a cartoonish adorable video game character wearing a Tanooki suit by only what? eating a magic leaf?
      … where was their rights when SMB3 came out, my bloody ass?

      Seriously, PETA, either get yourselves a 3DS or grow up.

  • cristopher tovar

    wow whoever made that mario parody game
    has some mental issues
    he probably should do the next silent hill

    • Glitchmastermario

      Yeah, I though PETA took the time and effort to make that tanuki dog and put nice details on the bloody suit, which they probably did…

  • matthius

    I laughed when i read this. The game was pretty fun though :D

  • selkio

    right and they dont troll about Red Dead Redemption or all those hunting games
    (epic facepalm)

    PETA PEOPLE ARE GAYS

    • Ttimer

      i hate peta but what i hate more is people thinking that the word GAY = stupid….im not gay but i am smart enough to know what words to use or not use

    • Lawrence

      It’s a different meaning of the word. Don’t complain about gay =/= stupid because it’s slang and slang changes words over time. Like how troll means little green gremlin or agrivating people, cool means cold or stylish, crack means hole in ground or drugs, break means to damage somthing or relax after working. So gay can equal stupid, even if you don’t like the sound of it.

    • Tazer

      @Lawrence – whatever… I agree with Ttimer, it’s still wrong and there is no way to justify it

    • Popipo

      @Tazer I agree

      @Ttime i dont care to much i just wanted to say that cuz i hate them so much stupids hippies. i like how they were pwnd today by nintendo

    May be a suit the friggin thing Is called a Tanooki S-U-I-T!!!

    They may as well say that a tree may grow leaves or the sun may shine today Peta is the stupidist’s website I’ve evered heard

    • Nathdnath

      Did you see their mcdonalds rage thingy the evil ronald stunt the everything……….did you see their SEA WORLD SUCKS!!!! t-shirt. I pray to God I will never buy that shirt

  • Conuraptor

    THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS

    • cdgallahue

      sounds about right

  • Marsalis

    Wheres the evidence that Marios Tanooki suit is even made of real fur? He touches a LEAF and he sudenly gets a suit. It could be plastic for all you know.

  • Sept

    TUH-ROLLIN’!

  • baBAM

    Dude it’s a JOKE. Really you thought their campaign here was serious? C’mon guy, this is pretty clever. I’m not a 100% PETA supporter by ay means, but as a journalist you gotta be sharp enough to know an obvious publicity stunt joke when you see it.

    • baBAM

      Wait, this is serious? If so, embarrassed and shocked.

  • EVNator

    Heh… I like how they’re using violence to counteract violence… idiots. If it was me, I’d be using, oh, what, MY BRAIN!?

  • Jonathan

    Okay. Let me get this shit right.

    PETA starts on a completely innocent Mario game, but has no problem with violent shooters that little kids play such as Call of Duty? They need to get a fucking life.

    It’s an innocent Mario game with a concept that has been utilized for over 20 years with the Tanooki Suit since SMB3. As always, they’re too late to complain about something as shitty and meaningless as that now. They would get trampled in a court case, especially because they are parodying a game made by Nintendo, making their position even worse.

    • THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

      Well, their concern is animal cruelty. That’s it. You don’t see animals getting killed on Call of Duty, do you? And yes, I think it is bullshit that they are trying to bring down an innocent Mario game…

    • Jonathan

      At the time of my writing that, I had no idea what PETA stood for. Even then, that doesn’t change my position.

      It is an innocent Mario game and we have bigger animal concerns to worry about.

      Instead of tackling something as small and fragile as Tanooki Mario, why don’t they get up off their lazy asses and rescue animals that are in actual NEED of being rescued!? It’s like the crap they did when Hawks were endangered where I live. They told hunters “not to kill them for it is illegal to kill an endangered species”. BULL FUCKING SHIT!

      Now we have TOO many Hawks and each time ducks or other birds in our area have ducklings or young birds, they die the next day. Why? Because of how many Hawks roam the skies.

      I say get a double-barreled shotgun, load em up, and shoot their asses out of the sky so ducks and other birds can have their young grow up in peace. God damnit.

      It’s people like this that just make me fucking sick to say I’m even human to begin with.

    • Xarreno

      @THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

    All these years, I thought that Mario’s Tanooki suit was made of a synthetic fabric. You’ve disappointed me, Mario.

  • Flare Red 3DS

    oh look now is when they want to be faggots. I remember when i was a little kid i played the super mario 3 with Tanooki and Frog Suit. Now is when Peta Wants to be fags about it. Nintendo didn’t even detail the fur its just polyester or cotton for all we know. PETA should be angry if when you jump on Mystery box and A Racoon jumps out and mario jumps on him and gets fur. But No Nintendo Is Awesome And PETA just wants more attention -_-.

    that peta game was decently fun…

    That game is going to give me f*cking nightmares.

      that is what i said alos :D

    • Ttimer

      i think the game encourages the killing of animals because look at all the blood

  • Thalion47

    This really ticks me off. LEAVE MY NINTENDO ALONE PETA! Ahhh…

  • Dylan

    Thats the most ignorant thing. Mario gets the suit from a leaf, a symbol of trickery in ancient japanese folklore utilized by the kitsune and tanooki spirits. marios tanooki suit is practically an ocular trick he plays on his enemies, an homage to harmless legendry. This is a reflection of Petas ignorance I’m a vegetarian and i think peta is just as bad as the people who TRULY advocate harm towards animals. I’m so disgusted.

    • bite me

      dear vegetarian,
      i eat cows that produce deadly gas causing global warming.you eat plants and vegetables that are trying to STOP global warning. whos the bad guy? :D:D

      sincerely, a non-vegetarian.

    • cara

      dear meat-eater,

      It takes 16 pounds of grains to produce one pound of animal flesh. It takes 300 pounds of grains to support a vegetarian diet, and 4,000 to support a meat-eating one. LESS plants are eaten on a vegetarian diet because 70% of all grains grown in the US are for livestock raised for meat, while these grains could be eaten by people directly. The meat industry causes more harm to the planet than all the cars, boats, and airplanes of the world combined. If people stopped eating meat, these animals wouldn’t be as numerous because they wouldn’t be bred anymore so there would be less toxin-producing animals, and that would HELP global warming and the environment, but by purchasing meat, you’re encouraging the industry that relies on supply-and-demand, and therefore butchers will breed more animals that will contribute to global warming.

      Please educate yourself.

      sincerely, a vegan

    • http://thegreatestwebsiteinhistory.wordpress.com/ Forgael

      Dear Cara,

      According to the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology’s 1999 Animal Agriculture and Global Food Supply Report, only 2.6 pounds of grain is consumed per pound of beef in developed countries. In developing countries, the number is far lower (0.3 lbs of grain for each pound of beef). Furthermore, the grain consumed by livestock is a different grade of grain than what is suitable for humans. The grain consumed by livestock includes forage from marginal land, and byproducts from food processors that have already been extracted of all material suitable for humans. The grain in question, therefore, is only suitable for consumption by ruminary creatures that have the multiple stomachs that can digest this product.

      Please update with informational sources that are not outdated and misleading.

      Sincerely, a man eating a hamburger.

    … Isn’t the suit like plastic, or something?

    • THE MARIO IN YO’ PAPER

      Nope. But eitherway, PETA is still overreacting.

    If PETA issued a complaint about Mario wearing a Tanooki suit… Next thing you know an organization of Christians will label Pokemon as a Satanic show, just because they heard the theme song backwards LMFAO!!!

MARIO IS MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD MEMORY.IM GOING TO SEND A BOMB TO THE PEOPLE THAT MADE THIS AND I HOPE A TANOOKIE COMES AND EATS THE REMAINS OF THEIR BODIES.BY THE WAY, YOU MOTHER FUCKING SICK ASS MUTHER FUCKING CREATENS, MARIO IS ONERAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE TANOOKIE AND TWO IS BECOMING A TANOOKIE NOT KILLING IT FOR ITS SKIN.ONLY FUCKING NIGGERS WHO FUCKING COME TO AMERICA NOT KNOWING HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH, NOT PAYING TAXES, NOT GETTING JOBS , AND GETTING MONEY FROM THE FUCKING HEAD NIGGER DO THAT SHIT TO TANOOKIES.

    • nintendofan

      @tanookie whoa, that’s intense man.
      I understand your frustration and yes, we all are hating on PETA. But this is too much.

      A more reasonable approach will be to deal with their own animals getting road-killed everyday on the road or getting abused by their owners rather than whine about a video game character having multiple transformations which includes animals. Last time we checked, Tanukis are japanese creatures, not americans. (I could be wrong but…)

  • Vegetarian

    F*ck u PETA! I’m gonna go get a cheeseburger!

  • SleepyGuyy

    Peta….. *sigh* I…. I dont know what to say. Just because a Tanooki is an animal, and Mario wears a “Tanooki Suit”, does not mean Mario is supporting the slaughtering of Tanooki. Or maybe Tanooki is the act of skinning…. again not really relavent To the fact that Mario is a cartoonish Italian plumber that fights turtles and wierd brown lumps. If anything should be criticized about mario its the unusually steriotypical career choice, or the fact that he eats “shrooms” . which is more influential than an outdated word which is in absolutly no way further supported through Mario’s work/media. PETA…. you Sir are an idiot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7LrViaPq7M

    also yoyo wins for best video with the Billy Madison quiz response thing…. it is awesome

    • SleepyGuyy

      Also like to point out the suit is based on Folklore (specifically japenese), and in saying this somehow supports meaningless slaughter is disrespectfull, idiotic, and downright unacceptable… PETA i dont know who filters your movments but i think they’ve had a few too many “shrooms”.

  • nicnec7

    this disgusts me >:o

    Dear PETA,

    Time to go naked. A sheep was shed for your cotton clothes, and cows/horses died so you could wear leather.

      i saw a bumper sticker that said that! lols it was funny

  • Jule S.

    i love peta, but this seems a little weird. honestly i would’ve never made that connection, the only ones who made me think of it are them. so really they r the ones spreading the message not mario, they should’ve though about that.

    • Jule S.

      plus, seems more like he’s wearing a costume, not an animal skin, i think thats what most people would’ve though too until peta put this idea in their minds. very counter-productive

  • penguin

    “They might do good work here and there (I think), but they’re also real life trolls who do stunts that make it impossible to take them seriously and thereby hurts their cause overall.”
    They don’t do any good work at all.
    “PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the 2,216 dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just SEVEN pets.”
    “During all of 2010, PETA found adoptive homes for just 44 pets. Just 44 dogs and cats—out of the 2,345 PETA took in.”
    They are just trolls. Making out every bug deserves to live yet but just about every animal that they get in there care gets killed.
    I had a PETA lady in Brisbane try and sign me up I looked at them went Nooooo and walked off.

      “PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, even waiting outside their schools to intercept them without notifying their parents.”

      Pedo alert.

      “One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: “Your Mommy Kills Animals!”

      Subliminal message, ’nuff said.

      “One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel’s audience: “Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be.”

    If anything, PETA should be in favor of this improvement in Human-Tanooki relations.

      More like, PETA would be in favor of this because Mario is wearing polyester and not wearing skins.

  • anonymous

    Very hypocritical of Peta, considering they kill literally 90% of the animals they “rescue”. No joke.

  • jesse
  • Acecombat

    How is a video game going to support wearing fur? It’s like saying watching murder shows will make it more likely to kill someone.

    They should just go back to simple things, the only thing that this has done is create backlash against them. I hope Nintendo does something about this.

  • lazykite

    Its not like Ninty went and skinned a whole bunch of raccoon dogs to hang in their studio for reference and inspiration!

    4. Why not attack people who kill ACTUAL animals? Seriously.

    • Free of Birth

      Cartoon? i thought it’s a game.

Mario stomps Koopa’s, which are turtles. they could’ve said that mario gives ideas of turtle abuse. really, PETA, IT’S JUST FANTASY, FAKE, MADE UP. Don’t make a big deal of something that’s just new! They are ruining the game! I’m FURIOUS RIGHT NOW!

    • Meh._.

      I completely agree! Plus, did you see the disgusting video on their website of a tanooki being skinned alive? While I completely agree that that is wrong and horrifically disgusting, that was too far to make a statement against a harmless (and LEDGENDARY<3) videogame -_-

  • Lisa

    I’ve been following PETA, subscribed to their email updates and support some of their efforts. There have been many times when I’ve rolled my eyes about the causes or things they’re fighting for. However they hit a nerve with me on this topic and I’m off their mailing list. They’re so far off base about why Mario is wearing the tanooki suit and are obviously clueless to what goes on in the video game world. These guys need to get a life and focus on real issues and concerns.

  • Joshua

    So its okay for PETA to degrade women by using them to get their points across but when it comes to a fictional video game character wearing a Tanooki suit then they feel the need to act? Maybe they need to rework their strategies before they start attacking anything.

  • Jackity Jack

    What the flying f*ck. So Peta is accusing Mario of skinning racoons and wearing their fur when actually it’s just a peice of brown rubber that he wears to give him special powers. Just because someone wears a cute little suit to make them look like an animal it means that they are promoting the ripping of the flesh of said animal? just think about what furries do and their massively popular furry conventions! geez! And the worst part is they are talking of a serious matter involving the deaths of innocent little brown animals, and they then take the piss out of them in a sh*tty, r*tarded flash game that tries to be funny. Fuck you Peta you fucking gay hippies..
    Excuse my language.

    I stopped listening to PETA when they started using pornography in their fight for animals rights

    • Blake.c

      I saw that on Russell Howard’s Good News

  • Ooarashi

    PETA doesn’t care about animal rights. According to verifiable public records, PETA killed 85.9% of the homeless animals they took in between 1998 and 2010.

    They continuously churn out fabricated information about animal cruelty and wrongdoing by others when they are some of the worst offenders.

    Check out http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ and watch the PETA episode of the Showtime show “Bullshit”.

    Say hello to the worlds most organized and well funded trolls.

    • Ooarashi

      PETA also supports the use of gorilla tactics like blowing up research facilities and universities for even the smallest suspicion that animal testing might be going on. Despite the fact there are rules in place to ensure animal testing is done ethically and humanly. Despite the fact that animal testing has greatly increased the quality of living for humans, companion animals, and livestock through medical advances. Despite the fact that at least one of their core members wouldn’t even be alive if not for medical treatments made possible through animal testing.
      Despite the fact that it would be impossible to produce pet care products like pet food, parasite treatments, medicines, vaccinations, etc… without first testing them on animals to ensure they work as intended and are safe.

      PETA doesn’t even deserve the recognition this article and these posts give them.

  • cecil

    ok first they say mario kills tanooki and then make a game out of it?HOW MORE RETARDED CAN THEY BE!!!!!!!!
    what’s next? if the new mario adventure comes out for the Wii U and brings back the frog suit(which by the way its an awesome suit) are you going to do the same thing again and feel like a dumbass? i bet you guys are because u guys are retarded!!!!!!!!!!!

    omg its not fur its a leaf that changes his suit not an animal god PETA get your shit together

    oh yes! of corse. thats what happens right everybody. yes. mario goes and find a tanooki and skin it alive in 3d right! of corse that happened. he didn’t jump up at an item box, grab a LEAF which MAGICALLY TRANSFORMED him into a tanooki. oh noooo. that wat didnt happen at all correct…..

    PETA should go f*ck themselves with a dead raccoon..

    Nobody needs to hear their sissy crying about animals.

    So they should stay out of the media and remain where they belong, buried in their mothers’ cun*s..

  • wertytrew

    That game is really creepy.

  • ChaosInvoker

    So, let me get this straight! PETA complains that a non-violent cartoon video game character wearing an animal power-up suit is sending a message about how it legitimizes skinning animals. Afterwards, they make a logo with a bloody raccoon tail to prove a point and make a gory parody game that sends the message they’re complaining about in a far more direct way?!

    Are these people on drugs?

    So you’re against most clothing? People have been doing this since the early days. And Mario get’s the suit from a LEAF. A LEAF, A LEAF, PETA.

    You people in PETA are pretty damn ignorant. You made a flash game MAKING the power-up look bloody, but really, isn’t bad. You’re REALLY overreacting.

    silly peta mario doesnt skin animals the leaf skins the animals and then gives mario the suit duh

  • Athinah

    They are more than silly, peta is STUPID. I doubt many people know they are for the “freedom” of ALL animals, including pets. They have bombed building. They support ALF and have given money to them. They kill 2/3 of the animals that they “save”. Oh and they have also spent 9 thousand tax-payer dollars on a walk in freezer to keep the bodies of said animals. Yeah i really dislike peta, not vegans or vegetarians but i REALLY dislike peta for their stupidity and hypocrisy.

    i watched the vid, its GORY
    why would you think like that peta, why?
    IT COMES FROM A MAGICAL LEAVE
    peta: mario says its ok to skin tanookis
    people: who said its the skin of a raccoon dog? no one did, its the result of picking up a magical leaf which gives you the SUIT with the looks of a tanooki (not skin)

    I think its sick that they think mario is killling a tanuki.

  • Hedgy

    I don’t hate Mario but this game is kinda addicting

  • Blake.c

    Whilst I do agree that killing raccoons is cruel,they shouldn’t use SM3DL as their advertising, why didn’t they complain about ‘Red Dead Redemption’ as you can actually skin animals on there. Oh and their game is rubbish, you dont even play as mario

    I was surfing around for a free video game download and found a site giving away the FIFA 2012 Video Game for Free. Some sort of Consumer Rewards deal. Not sure how it works exactly or who is paying for the games, maybe the manufacturer, or advertisers. IT took about 3 weeks to come in, I had actually forgotten that I submitted my email and address with them. But it works; now the site is even more updated with XBOX Consoles, A Red Nintendo Wii, and more. The site is http://thefamilyexchange.com/free Im going back to get more free stuff.
