lakero45 PETA actually went and protested outside a furry convention and had “fur is murder” and “animals are not to be mocked” signs, and yes they tried to red paint people in fursuits. Love furries or not, you have to admit if someone dumped red paint all over something you owned that was 10,000 dollars, you’d be pissed.
Sonic The Hedgehog technically they wouldn't because in sonic you play animals beating up evil humans trying to hurt other animals....that's the best thing in the world in their eyes
I believe they also did this exact same shit with pokemon as well. Taking a game thats very popular and quite family friendly and twisting it to their fucked up views.
you know, i bet that suit isn't made of fur, its made to look like a Tanooki's fur, and then BLESSED by the magic of the Tanooki. theres no magic in a dead tanooki, thus rendering his suit useless.
Good job peta. What to do next? How about sonic? Why not attack the GENESIS sonic games instead? Makes sense to me. You could preten- BE pissed off about how eggman is impisoning animals in that little thing at the end of the levels. Of course it doesn't matter for shit that you're saving them, just do it.
oh no, Mario is wearing a suit based off a Raccoon, a creature that DOESN'T EXIST IN MARIO! a Tanooki in particular is a trickster, have illusionist magic, hence why he turns into a statue. if it was a fur, i doubt that would work.
Me and Ronin, my new adopted kitty X3, will say this is total bullshit. He was found in a tire all skinny and lost and scared and adopting him and giving a home was the best thing I could have done. This is offensive to anyone who owns pets and have animal rights views, and its an insult to creative people who do have pets and make games because they felt more playful with them around. That money should be devoted to proper sheltering not for really juvenille morbid jokes
I just went through the links in your description and looked at the Mario based PETA site. The video the posted on there was incredibly graphic and disturbing. I know it sends a very powerful message, but that was just uncalled for. I urge anyone with a weak stomach not to make the mistake of watching the video like I did. I won't be able to get the image out of my head for a very long time now
I agree! PETA NEEDS attention. There are plenty of reasons why PETA is being stupid. We all know that Mario gets the tanooki suit from collecting a leaf. Same for the fact Mario gets his bee suit from a mushroom, his hammer suit from a boomerang (Mario 3D World), a frog suit from a costume-like frog suit, and stuff like that. And yes, PETA is stupid.
when Mario gets the boomerang suit from a boomerang bro, he is actually a power it either has in its pocket or he receives its power because i believe all those turtle bros are Koopas with power ups and unlike people it will drop its power
@Skybaby79 It's technically a suit fabricated by magic, (mario grabs a leaf to use it because in folklore tanuki occasionally used leaves for transformations) of course real Tanuki (that's the proper spelling) don't have magical powers but they are adorable.
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. Play Super Tanooki Skin 2D and help Tanooki reclaim his fur! the exact description PETA gave this game.
I imagine in the world according to PETA, Mario is ripping a Tanooki's fur and laughing maniacally while fire is burning in the background. Rated M for everyone.
Just looked up when Peta was founded. They were around in 1980. The hell?! Were they doing things actually useful before they found out how to make flash games?
@AlphaOmegaSin Breaking News! They didn't really cancel MML3,they just give the IP to another guy. He's a friend of mine. Couldn't get out of the guy on the subject. Going to try again later.
@KoopasRevengeHome Tanuki's do indeed exist, known as raccoon dogs, though the whole large testicle thing is just a part of Japanese folklore. In fact, Japanese folklore is pretty much where Nintendo got the idea for the Tanooki Suit in the first place, not from some hidden agenda to sell tanuki fur coats from some sort of subsidiary company.
It's truly sad that such a company like PENISTA has to attack a video game icon. It must be extremely slow at the offices for them to turn their half witted attention towards Mario. This is something that gives me a chuckle and then I realize how sad and over analytical society can get. Great rant as always!
I dont know if you actually saw the mario kills tanooki site or not but how i see it, PETA was using mario to advertise some campaign against racoon fur ranches. I mean the video on the site shows live racoon being clubbed to death or skinned alive if unlucky, and thats what PETA was attacking, not Mario.
The best part about this is that Nintendo was handing out hundreds of Tanooki ears and tails in NYC 2 weeks ago. I can't tell you how many fucks I couldn't give about PETA when I walking around the city as a Tanooki.
people who disliked should have watched the entire video, he makes a clear statement that he supports animal protection and even shows his cat that he clearly loves.
I don't think peta was trying to straight up attack mario without a message, the video on their site says something like "in mario e wears a tanooki suit but in real life they are beaten and skined alive for their fur". they were probably trying to use the fact that it was mario to grab attention to the real issue, that tanookis are actually being tortured for their fur.
And they're not picking on Bethesda for being able to attack bears in Skyrim? Or shooting cows and chickens in RE 4? Or running a boar over a bridge in Twilight Princess? Or running over zebras in Far Cry 2? Or killing wild rabid dogs in Fallout? Or shooting Skags in Borderlands?
I like how they made such a big deal about the tanooki suit... What about the fact that Mario jumps on turtles' heads?! You'd think they would freak out more about that than him wearing the "skin" of something that doesn't even exist! xD
someone should make a game where you play as nintendo characters and avatars and get revenge on peta for making fun of them. you could beat up peta protestors and the final boss would be the boss of peta, and you would go up to him and waste him
I've never actually thought about it being a real fur at all, i only saw it as being more of a cosplay thing, or Mario actually becoming the flying squirrel (or whatever the fuck it may be). Kind of like the frog powerup actually. But maybe that's different since minks and shit like that actually do get skinned while frogs don't? I don't know...
Especially "The Super Chick Sisters" which is an animal-girl version of Mario Bros which protest against McDonalds. and if you lose the Chickens get Turned into Mcnuggets and Ronald Mcdonald is seen in the end eating the nuggets.
I just don't get it, Mario touches the leaf and it turns him into Tanooki Mario. It's not like he finds a wild tanooki, skins it, then steps inside...wtf
I as a gamer, and as a Nintendo boy, its enraging... I put up a video response to this video, good sir. Cus oh teh noez, its not like we didnt have a Frog Suit before, a Penguin suit, a bee suit, and various other things!
this needs to be told to PeTA's face. this is great, really. but of all games made by Nintendo the hypocrites decided to bash, my first guess was Pokemon with the battling of creatures. hell, Team Plasma in the latest games is basically the equivalent. but they decide to take on the one series i grew up with you rock man. you ROCK
where can i sue PETA for the game they make in their website? 1. its a nintendo character used without permission 2. the game is so gore against animal what about the frog suit? frog is not animal?
Most companies are intelligent enough not to screw with the video game community. Beyond attention, they're looking for trouble. I'm interested in how this issue is gonna get resolved, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the aftermath.
Yep, not the smartest decision for PETA. Whether or not they are really serious or doing this as a sign of professional trolling, it's not the best idea to get attention
I remember playing MGS3 and killing gators and snakes for their meat... I mean the game was called "Snake Eater" for Christ's sake. And in Red Dead Redemption you can actually hunt and skin wild animals... AND PETA COMES AFTER MARIO?????
The Mario game they think is pretty funny is pretty fucking creepy. I had a little bit of respect for PETA, I didn't really care about what they were doing or who they really are. I never knew they would stoop so low to attack Nintendo, especially over a Mario game. I'm surprised they haven't tried attacking Pokemon.
I'm a big fan of Nintendo, and I always have been ever since I was about 4. I had Super Mario Bros. 3 for the GBA when I was younger. Did it make me want to go wear fur coats? No. I have Super Mario Bros. Wii, which features a penguin suit. Did it make me want to go wear some fur? No. The PETA organization has their head up their butts.
I'm sorry for the double post, but for goodness sakes! it's a power up..for a game! if anything, they should be happy that mario uses it to stop the bad guys.
Because Mario jumps on a magical box that sprouts a magical leaf in which he touches and gains a magical suit with a tail that lets him fly, he is telling us.. that we should kill animals.
so halloween and cosplaying are telling people the same thing? Because people dress up as animals
Don't give them any ideas.
***** That would be epic to see.
DrawesomeGaming Furries Unite!!!
The Furries Would Sadly Get Chased Off By Undertaker With His Scythe
lakero45 PETA actually went and protested outside a furry convention and had “fur is murder” and “animals are not to be mocked” signs, and yes they tried to red paint people in fursuits. Love furries or not, you have to admit if someone dumped red paint all over something you owned that was 10,000 dollars, you’d be pissed.
They will soon target The sonic Franchise. You know why......
Sonic The Hedgehog technically they wouldn't because in sonic you play animals beating up evil humans trying to hurt other animals....that's the best thing in the world in their eyes
MaxTrax2001 except the entire other kingdom is made up of turtles and dinosaurs...
Sonic The Hedgehog Next would probably be Donkey Kong games
@@QueenofTaterTots yeah if NASA saw this games that sonic destroy robots and NASA will attack Sega
I believe they also did this exact same shit with pokemon as well. Taking a game thats very popular and quite family friendly and twisting it to their fucked up views.
Don't forget cooking mama
you know, i bet that suit isn't made of fur, its made to look like a Tanooki's fur, and then BLESSED by the magic of the Tanooki. theres no magic in a dead tanooki, thus rendering his suit useless.

this makes me want a panda burger with some chocolate chimp cookies
Ooh don't forget the bacon and pulled pork BBQ tower
mmmmm panda pork
Robbie berg gat does bear taste like any way
it taste like that bamboo you get in chinese food
I get sick when I eat chinese. Any other thoughts pal?
0:50 BEST LAUGH EVER!!!!
Me and Ronin, my new adopted kitty X3, will say this is total bullshit.

This is offensive to anyone who owns pets and have animal rights views, and its an insult to creative people who do have pets and make games because they felt more playful with them around. That money should be devoted to proper sheltering not for really juvenille morbid jokes
Ronin is the best name that you could have for a pet. :D
LordVader1094 Well he was living in a tire. So he really was a wondering senshi. Just felt appropriate. But thankies Lord Vader XD
Delilah Rhett Aye! A very appropriate name!
I'll probably call my cat something like that, when I can get one. xP
Never force that or you will be some crazy cat person XD!!!
But I'm happy to give him a home.............despite him stealing my foodz -_-
Delilah Rhett I meant buying one, not looking around for a stray. I'd be horrible at housing a stray. ._.
I was seriously waiting all day for this video, where is my popcorn..this is gonna be great
little message to PETA, ROAST BEEF IS MY SECOND FAVORITE FUCKING FOOD, i think my name is pretty descriptive to what my first is XD
Do you know PETA should have attacked sonic 06 for the kiss at the end please answer this
Yeah they should have it would make more sense
Walmart during Halloween a few years ago oddly enoough

This video sums up the situation quite nicely I must say!! Nicely done!!
when Mario gets the boomerang suit from a boomerang bro, he is actually a power it either has in
its pocket or he receives its power because i believe all those turtle bros are Koopas with power ups and unlike people it will drop its power
@Skybaby79 It's technically a suit fabricated by magic, (mario grabs a leaf to use it because in folklore tanuki occasionally used leaves for transformations) of course real Tanuki (that's the proper spelling) don't have magical powers but they are adorable.
That Gold Zelda Nes cartridge kept catching my attention during the video LOL.
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. Play Super Tanooki Skin 2D and help Tanooki reclaim his fur!
the exact description PETA gave this game.
I imagine in the world according to PETA, Mario is ripping a Tanooki's fur and laughing maniacally while fire is burning in the background. Rated M for everyone.
I still like how tanuki aren't present in any Mario game, meaning Mario could never have killed one for the Tanooki Suit.
Just looked up when Peta was founded. They were around in 1980. The hell?! Were they doing things actually useful before they found out how to make flash games?
This video should be broadcast on worldwide television.
AlphaOmegaSin is My Hero for doing this video
@AlphaOmegaSin Breaking News! They didn't really cancel MML3,they just give the IP to another guy. He's a friend of mine. Couldn't get out of the guy on the subject. Going to try again later.

You don't see Peta going after Cabela's hunting games.
It's truly sad that such a company like PENISTA has to attack a video game icon. It must be extremely slow at the offices for them to turn their half witted attention towards Mario. This is something that gives me a chuckle and then I realize how sad and over analytical society can get. Great rant as always!
well the dogs were train to attack enemies so it's self-defense.
Sonic the Hedgehog saves woodland creatures for a living, and he doesn't have a problem with that.
There are dogs in MW3 that have C4 strapped to them, They don't bug out about that...
I dont know if you actually saw the mario kills tanooki site or not but how i see it, PETA was using mario to advertise some campaign against racoon fur ranches. I mean the video on the site shows live racoon being clubbed to death or skinned alive if unlucky, and thats what PETA was attacking, not Mario.
The best part about this is that Nintendo was handing out hundreds of Tanooki ears and tails in NYC 2 weeks ago. I can't tell you how many fucks I couldn't give about PETA when I walking around the city as a Tanooki.
What ticks me off even more is that tanooki is a mythical creature.
Technically, PeTA would even protest that you have Loki as a pet. It didn't surprise me in the slightest that they've done something like this.
"His new enemy is woodland creatures."
I couldn't help but think of Sonic the Hedgehog.
At 3:20 I imagined Mario skinning a giant raccoon and jumping in it's fur while it's still warm... thanks PETA for ruining my childhood hero.
people who disliked should have watched the entire video, he makes a clear statement that he supports animal protection and even shows his cat that he clearly loves.
Their going after Kirby next, they will think that swallowing things is wrong in some way to animals
I don't think peta was trying to straight up attack mario without a message, the video on their site says something like "in mario e wears a tanooki suit but in real life they are beaten and skined alive for their fur". they were probably trying to use the fact that it was mario to grab attention to the real issue, that tanookis are actually being tortured for their fur.
three weeks later and they make a pokemon parody
And they're not picking on Bethesda for being able to attack bears in Skyrim? Or shooting cows and chickens in RE 4? Or running a boar over a bridge in Twilight Princess? Or running over zebras in Far Cry 2? Or killing wild rabid dogs in Fallout? Or shooting Skags in Borderlands?
I like how they made such a big deal about the tanooki suit...
What about the fact that Mario jumps on turtles' heads?!
You'd think they would freak out more about that than him wearing the "skin" of something that doesn't even exist! xD
It's stupid how they used a cover up saying it was a "joke"
My first Video of yours! I love it,keep it up man!
someone should make a game where you play as nintendo characters and avatars and get revenge on peta for making fun of them. you could beat up peta protestors and the final boss would be the boss of peta, and you would go up to him and waste him
I wasn't going to buy Mario 3D Land, but knowing that buying the game will make PETA cry puts a big smile on my face.
Dear PETA;
"No animals were harmed during the programing and making of this game."
I'm surprised Nintendo didn't take action against PETA for that stupid stunt with Pokemon Black and Blue.
They also attacked Cooking Mama a few years ago. Wish I could grow two more arms just to properly express my disbelief through the form of facepalm.
they are going to hate zelda next arent they.they dont see mario turns into a tanooki with a leaf
haha this is a awesome response to it! I made a response to it also.
I've never actually thought about it being a real fur at all, i only saw it as being more of a cosplay thing, or Mario actually becoming the flying squirrel (or whatever the fuck it may be).
Kind of like the frog powerup actually. But maybe that's different since minks and shit like that actually do get skinned while frogs don't? I don't know...
Especially "The Super Chick Sisters" which is an animal-girl version of Mario Bros which protest against McDonalds. and if you lose the Chickens get Turned into Mcnuggets and Ronald Mcdonald is seen in the end eating the nuggets.
Your cat Loki is freaking adorable. It's also awesome how he agrees that PeTA sucks.
I never even considered it was fur...just costume? They have "highlighted" wearing fur more themselves.
I just don't get it, Mario touches the leaf and it turns him into Tanooki Mario. It's not like he finds a wild tanooki, skins it, then steps inside...wtf
LOL they complain about the suit but they don't complain about him stomping on turtles.
A couple of people I've talked to about this seem to be convinced that this is PETA's attempt to troll people.
Don't forget Mario's Penguin suit too! Ah Peta. Fucking nuts.
Also, Loki = best name ever for a cat!
HAHAHA! What about the "chains and whips are meant for the bedroom" thing?
I love how PETA attacked Mario for "wearing the skin" of a mythical creature.
Oh wow, tanooki suit? Waait.. Mario bros 3 was made like in 1993 or something. Oh wow, only 18 years late, PETA!
You good sir have earned a new sub :) I'll be watching you older videos now and I'll e looking forward to new ones :) peace x
I as a gamer, and as a Nintendo boy, its enraging... I put up a video response to this video, good sir. Cus oh teh noez, its not like we didnt have a Frog Suit before, a Penguin suit, a bee suit, and various other things!
this is actually pretty old way before mario 3d land
You know, I wonder why they didn't get all angry at megaman x for the bosses being animals.
I skipped 3 which is PETA's founder Ingrid Newkirk who has killed dozens of animals a day in the 1970's
NO OUTRO!?!?!?! bout time, needed a break. Nice cat =]
Mario's Tanooki suit is about as anti-woodland creature as ralphie's bunny suit in A Christmas Story. Just sayin.
this needs to be told to PeTA's face. this is great, really. but of all games made by Nintendo the hypocrites decided to bash, my first guess was Pokemon with the battling of creatures. hell, Team Plasma in the latest games is basically the equivalent. but they decide to take on the one series i grew up with
you rock man. you ROCK
Or in Zero where you COULD BURN DOWN PLANTS. Peta has to attack Nintendo when it weak.
where can i sue PETA for the game they make in their website?
1. its a nintendo character used without permission
2. the game is so gore against animal
what about the frog suit?
frog is not animal?
Oh mah gawddd PETA replied saying it was just a jokeeee. Still makes them look bad....
Most companies are intelligent enough not to screw with the video game community. Beyond attention, they're looking for trouble. I'm interested in how this issue is gonna get resolved, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the aftermath.
Which attack came first Mario or Pokemon from PETA
Neither I exclaimed the horse.
I remember when they made a south park episode where they make fun of PETA
didnt peta go rage mode for killing a rat in a scene in battlefield 3?
Or Dog Fights. Or animal fights in general. Why? Because in Pokemon, you can have Jesus and Poseidon duke it out at high noon.
I didn't think many assumed that was a joke. That seems like a pretty good question.
I'm guessing that the kid who blamed Halo 3 for making him kill his mother was also a member of Peta, lol.
Oh not only that, but they made a game attacking/making fun of Super Meat Boy. . .WTF ARE THEY GONNA DO NEXT?
Funny thin is i found a tanooki suit costume for halloween at toys r us
Yep, not the smartest decision for PETA. Whether or not they are really serious or doing this as a sign of professional trolling, it's not the best idea to get attention
This actually makes me want to buy Mario 3D Land more now. Just to give PETA the middle finger.
PETA will sue Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Bethesda because you can kill a mammoth and a honker(seal).
Im wonder what Shigeru Miyamoto thinks of PETA?
If I didn't know better, the tanooki suits was given by a leaf.
I remember playing MGS3 and killing gators and snakes for their meat... I mean the game was called "Snake Eater" for Christ's sake. And in Red Dead Redemption you can actually hunt and skin wild animals... AND PETA COMES AFTER MARIO?????
The Mario game they think is pretty funny is pretty fucking creepy. I had a little bit of respect for PETA, I didn't really care about what they were doing or who they really are. I never knew they would stoop so low to attack Nintendo, especially over a Mario game. I'm surprised they haven't tried attacking Pokemon.
@Skybaby79 Actually, a Tanooki is a real animal. It is a raccoon mixed with a dog. It lives in Japan.
I'm a big fan of Nintendo, and I always have been ever since I was about 4. I had Super Mario Bros. 3 for the GBA when I was younger. Did it make me want to go wear fur coats? No. I have Super Mario Bros. Wii, which features a penguin suit. Did it make me want to go wear some fur? No. The PETA organization has their head up their butts.
Next thing you know they bash on kirby for eating a bunch of creatures whole.
Can't PETA get sued for using likenesses of Nintedo property in the flash game?
I'm sorry for the double post, but for goodness sakes! it's a power up..for a game! if anything, they should be happy that mario uses it to stop the bad guys.
Looks like they don't know the difference between real life and a cartoon.
Imagine how ridiculous it would be if PETA attacked Monster Hunter...
Because Mario jumps on a magical box that sprouts a magical leaf in which he touches and gains a magical suit with a tail that lets him fly, he is telling us.. that we should kill animals.
