** And now ''[http://features.peta.org/mario-kills-tanooki/Default.aspx Super Tanooki Suit]'', in protest of Mario's Tanooki suit. Which comes from a leaf, and [[Super Mario Bros 3|has been around for over 20 years]]. Also, we're talking about a guy who routinely uses turtle shells as weapons. It's the Tanooki suit you're taking issue with? They later claimed [[Parody Retcon|it was just meant as a joke]] after getting [[Internet Backdraft|hordes of Nintendo fans on their case]]. |
