As the picture shows, the most famous character in the history of video games, Italy's most popular plumber, Nintendo's absolute signature Uncle Malio, in the big movie to be released this spring--

Unfortunately, he lost his ass.

"Super Mario Brothers Movie" is a new attempt that Nintendo has been preparing for a long time. Since the catastrophic live-action adaptation of the film in 1993, Malio, the deeply rooted mascot, has not been able to wait for its own film and television works, and Nintendo has become more strict with the expansion of its own IP.

It was not until 2018, when the then-popular Nintendo announced the launch of the Malio film project, that a large number of players and fans were reassured.

According to the official statement, the production standard of the Malio film seems to be very high. Shigeru Miyamoto, a legendary Nintendo game producer who has long retired from the front line of game development, oversees the whole process. Shareholders who keep a close eye on Nintendo also ask about the latest developments in the film from time to time.

After four years of development and several schedule adjustments, the film has finally entered the stage of publicity. In early October 2021, the Super Mario Brothers Movie released its first visual picture. Our protagonist, Uncle Malio, looked up at the castle in the distance, with a large number of familiar game elements and hidden eggs in the scene.

But as mentioned at the beginning of this article, Malio fans don't seem to care much about the content of the movie. After exclaiming excitedly, everyone soon found something wrong with this visual picture, and players rushed to Nintendo's official channel to ask their souls: where is Malio's ass?

In a new promotional video released at last year's TGA awards ceremony, Malio's ass is still withered. Strange as it is, the fact is that a round Q-bullet ass is an indispensable iconic element for Malio.

In the dangerous game world, Malio's ass can provide him with a lot of convenience, although the main means of attack in this platform jump game is Malio's solid feet, but his butt attack on the next seat in the air is also not to be underestimated.

Give Malio a ramp, he can kill all the enemies with his friction of zero, or we can use it another way. Malio can also use his very elastic ass to improve his bouncing ability and further refine his housekeeping skills. let players easily go to a higher platform. From this point of view, a plump and plump ass is in line with Malio's design.

"Super Malio Odyssey" and outside the game, there are a lot of players who covet horsepower European and American colors.

According to the annual statistical report of the well-known adult video website Pornhub2021, the 41-year-old Uncle Malio still has a good knife in the field of video games, and naturally won the third place in the search list of game characters. as a comparison, the popular goddess DIFA ranks sixth, reflecting Malio's charm.

Nintendo has four seats in the top 10 characters. If you want to ask this group of XP players who are a little different from ordinary people, what do you see in Malio, the butt will be the first choice for most people. As the saying goes, "those who like buttocks are definitely not bad guys." an editor of foreign game media Kotaku once wrote a review book on the buttocks of game characters, which conveys the charm of buttocks to people by including interviews with game producers about butt design and comments from people in the game industry, and the title of this book is "what I learned from Malio's ass."

With such a broad mass base, it is not difficult to understand why players are so obsessed with Malio's ass. Loyal fans of the time-honored game series could not accept that their beloved character had been weakened, and they began to call on Nintendo to pay attention to Malio's ass, hoping to enjoy the perfect butt on the screen. After the incident, the well-known game media IGN also joined in to help everyone speak for Malio.

Buttocks are as important to Malio as they are to Nintendo. Similar to previous fan boycotts, Malio fans also began to "mourn" Malio's ass. Those who can draw will draw a second creation by themselves, those who are proficient in PS will help the authorities modify the size of their buttocks, and charismatic players can also hold large petitions, and we will work together in order to get back the ass that belongs to Malio.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time Nintendo has targeted Malio.

Back in 2020, Nintendo officials posted a controversial official congratulatory picture of Malio sitting comfortably on the couch in shorts, looking peaceful, but sharp-eyed fans noticed a sense of discord: Malio's nipples disappeared for no reason.

Malio's nipples, like his buttocks, are an inviolable part of the hearts of fans. In the Super Mario Odyssey race, a new track has been opened up for nipples, and the rules are simple: see who can appreciate Malio's nipples more quickly. The current world championship record for nipple racing was set a month ago, and we can see that people really care about Malio's nipples.

Super Mario Odyssey is a popular speed game in itself, and it's not surprising that players have developed new ways of playing it. In recent years, Nintendo seems to be intentionally or unintentionally reducing the sex appeal of characters in the game, and buttocks are often the focus. For example, in "Malio go-kart 8", Nintendo character Valio's ass was cut twice, from a beautiful circle to an angular polygon, considering that this is a reproduction game, so the function should not be the main problem of this wave of weakening.

Even if it's not a Nintendo character, you have to rein in when you come to the NS platform. Like Snape, the protagonist of the "Alloy equipment" series, when he walked into the Nintendo Star fight, which is famous for restoring the original, the buttocks of the man with high buttocks shrunk unsurprisingly. Although a large number of players, including Snecker's dubbing actors, participated in the activities related to "Save Sneck's buttocks" at that time, the matter finally came to an end.

Players familiar with Hideo Kojima all know that Snake's conspicuous buttocks must be intentional. Some people may think that this series of farce about buttocks is a bit of a mountain out of a molehill. But according to a survey report by data analysis agency Quantic Foundry, the common reason why about 1/3 of male players like to play female characters in games is: "if you want me to stare at the buttocks of game characters all day." Then I'd rather it's a woman's ass. "

In the game industry where men dominated the mainstream in the past, manufacturers would cater to the aesthetics of most male players, portraying the female characters in the game gracefully, regardless of the sexual tension of the male characters. Emphasizing the importance of buttocks is ridiculing, but it is also a reasonable call for aesthetic diversity, not to mention that Nintendo has its own stylish and sexy "Beunita" series, and it should not be a problem to tolerate the buttocks of several men.

"Beunita 3" has also reined in its sexuality. 3 it is nothing new for players to boycott modified movies, but films that really listen to players' opinions to make changes are still rare. In 2019, the live-action movie "Sonic the hedgehog" angered countless fans because of the difference between Sonic's image and the game's image. Only after a mass boycott did the players finally see the blue hedgehog in the cinema.

When the same experience fell on Sonic's former rival Malio, things took a whole new turn. On November 30, Nintendo held a face-to-face meeting for the Malio movie, and the five-minute brief introduction released a new trailer. Malio's ass still failed to return to its proper posture, but at the same time, it was found that Mori's ass was particularly full, making people wonder if Mori had stolen Malio's ass.

Not only the buttocks, but in the promotional pictures released later by Nintendo, Mori's strong muscles stand in sharp contrast to his thin waist, so it is not difficult to see that the film production team has a good psychological control over fans.

In addition to this wild orangutan, players also noticed a change in the image of the peach blossom princess. The vase character, who has always been saved by Malio, appears heroic in the film, and the production team has made her body concave and convex, although it is not as wild as Mori, but it also has a charm.

After admiring the bodies of other characters in the movie, no one cares what Malio's ass looks like. Of course, the most important thing is that the quality of the film shown in the official trailer is good enough to shut up fans' controversial mouths.

In fact, the Super Mario Brothers Movie has been questioned for its publicity. The skepticism stems from Malio's dubbing problem, taking into account narrative and other factors, this big film does not use the game soundtrack that players are familiar with, but invites a movie star to make a voice for Malio, a character carved into countless players' DNA.

There are also fans in China who modify the dubbing version and get a good number of plays. to a large extent, Malio's ass bears the dissatisfaction of the players, and everyone wants to see the Malio they are familiar with in the cinema. not the strange plumber in the trailer. It can be boycotting dubbing or focusing on buttocks, and players have to find a way to get Nintendo to re-examine the opinions of its fans.

But it wasn't until the official announcement that fans understood where Nintendo's confidence in boldly altering the dubbing came from. According to the current trailer, the film does not focus on replicating the experience of the game, the old-fashioned hero salvation is no longer the theme, each character in the game has a considerable proportion of the role. In addition, the film also pays tribute to a large number of Nintendo's first-party games, and is well-versed in small details that are imperceptible everywhere.

The shift from "the production team doesn't understand the game" to "the production team knows too much" has made all previously unexpectedly fans look forward to the release of the movie. Mario's ass doesn't seem to be so important in front of a good movie.
