oh here's patreon: patreon.com/ThomasGameDocs
please pay me lol
Straight fowars, just the way i like it
You want money? Then do the thing nintendo didn't, get sponsered by mcdonalds
Unfortunately, i can't support you on patreon, i'll do my best on youtube tho ! ^^
I would, but I’m broke, and my mom won’t let me give money to someone who “might not even be real because there online”
Sure
You went through all this without photoshoping the McDonald's M on Mario's cap? Okay.
Ik right
I was waiting for it too 😂
Money
Good, break the norm
That surprised me a lot, too 😅
Just imagine a world where Mario had a corporate logo on his hat, like some sort of Nascar driver
Or like diddy kong
In 2020, I would not be surprised to see a bull-with-wings logo on his hat.
like Diddy lol
GooberTheGrand yeah, if that happened, we might just have a Mercedes Benz in Mario Kart!
Wait a minute...

6:36 Ah yes. Dr Eggman: my favorite Mario character
Haha I can’t believe a year later we’re just now commenting on this. I just watched and that stood out like a sore thumb haha
LOL
@Zyphon can you dap me up
Dafuq, I didn't even notice it. And it's from the satam cartoon even. Big crossovers happening before our eyes and we didn't know about it.
Lol
So basically, McDonald's cared more about an M than fixing their ice cream machines
I totally forgot about those ice cream machines lol
I break the ice cream machine worldwide daily
Avery the Cuban-American No, the employees spend all their time cleaning the ice cream machines because it’s an easier explanation than saying that they need to clean the old machines. They’re so old now & they have to keep being cleaned up basically & I wish they would just get newer versions of the old ones.
Don't drink the coffee from the coffee machine in Dunkin donuts. Theres maggots or something gross there. Well for some at least.
@@jeremy-ws1rb You are the most evil mastermind of all time
Never thought I'd hear Thomas call Bowser a "BDSM Warthog" haha
BDSM - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › BDSM
BDSM is a variety of often erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other related ...
I found that to be a near-perfect description of Bowser, except, warthogs don't have shells...
I also never thought I'd have a youtube comment with hundreds of likes and multiple replies that just state wikipedia entries of kinks and fetishes, but i ain't mad
that's hot 👀
A chair is a piece of furniture with a raised surface supported by legs, commonly used to seat a single person. Chairs are supported most often by four legs and have a back; however, a chair can have three legs or can have a different shape. Chairs are made of a wide variety of materials, ranging from wood to metal to synthetic material (e.g. plastic), and they may be padded or upholstered in various colors and fabrics, either just on the seat (as with some dining room chairs) or on the entire chair. Chairs are used in a number of rooms in homes (e.g. in living rooms, dining rooms, and dens), in schools and offices (with desks), and in various other workplaces.

"Mario doesn't kill"
Weird thing to say, when in the game you stomp your enemies, set them on fire,
squeeze animals out of their shell and throw it against them or throw the enemies themselves into bottomless pits or lava.
Bowser: *regenerates*
"Say what?"
ok peta calm down
@@spamtongspamton9900 ok PET-a chill
Well when you put It like that it almost sounds like Mario is the villan
Aren't bricks and coins people as well yet mario destroying them all
I just love the fact that Kotobe (correct me if that's wrong) likely made the M on Mario's cap MORE angular out of spite. That's exactly the sort of thing I would do.
If they accepted the deal with McDonald's the hat of Wario would have been the W in Wendy's
Twiniki OHHHHHH!
I want to live in THAT universe!
No cause McDonald would not be ok with that
Luigi would be la salsa
😳
or W for wumbo
Miyamoto: "But Mario doesn't kill."
Mario: *Proceeds to stomp on and squash millions of goombas.*
Mario?
Toad yells that his shop is closed due to corona ?
He didn’t kill them, he just crushed their internal organs.
Yes?
Patrick D Good old Football Charlie.
I feel this had more to do when McDonald's had Mario 3 toys. There was a bunch of production art made for the happy meal boxes and McDonald's probably asked Nintendo to add the arches to his hat for the happy meal art. I think there's some translation goodness going on, people are getting some events crossed.
This is a fantastic video, never knew about this! You’re great at telling a story.
a wild emma
I read this as "That time McDonald's tried to sponsor me" lol
Hey, thanks for the heart!
You just gave me the best speed run idea. Raid Shadow Legends % basically you start a youtube channel and the goal is to be sponsored by Raid in the shortest time
Man, I hate it when McDonald's tries to sponsor me! It's so annoying!
@@anewspinonthings and turn it down
@Cameron Hudson You're getting a bit carried away there buddy.
It’s often ridiculed but I like Shigeru Miyamoto’s art unironically
Same
I like it too! Glad to not be the only one. hahaha
Same! It has that cute old-anime style, like how you'd see in doraemon, kinda.
I don't know why its ridiculed, it's really well done.
same here! yea, peach looks awful and bowser looks a little different but whatever. i've got a shirt with miyamoto's mario drawing and i love it.
"do what you want, but mario doesn't kill"
the internet: *are you sure about that*
The fact that he went out of his way to make the “M” different from the McDonalds logo makes me happy lol.
instead of making him a plumber, they wanted him to be a McDonald's employee
mario’d probably get even less pay
McMarioDonalds
@@angelvu LOL
He’d be American and weigh 1.5 times what he weighs now
McD employee.. plumber.. what's the difference?
Sega: wanted knuckles to be partnered with nike but never did
Nintendo: didn't want mario to get partnered up with mcdonalds but they did anyway
Oh, the opposite.
sega does what nintendon't.
Oh, so thats what that thing on his chest was.
@@r4ls3i7 yep,and macdonalds did do a sonic commercial,twice.
Sonic was going to originally wear Nike shoes in the Sonic movie at one point
I'm actually glad that Mario's hat kept its own iconic signature. I can't imagine the controversy if they use the yellow M in MarioKart 8's set
“Do what you want, but Mario doesn’t kill.”
I don’t know why but that was powerful.
I read the title and had an image of some smug McDonald’s businesses men walking into Nintendo HQ and say he wants to sponsor Mario’s Hat in my hat
Maybe Bowser will even take over Nintendo of America.
Lol
“Mario dosent kill”
Game theory:
Remember that one time Mc Donald's tried to put personalized copy of Super Mario 64 in Happy Meal box, imagine how many kids were horrified by Wario's ghost
YOU WANT FUN? MCDONALDS SHOW YOU FUN!
"Bowser looks like a BDSM warthog"
Sorry, what?
Glad others noticed lmao
A BDSM warthog.
You heard the man,
*A BDSM Warthog.*
I'm questioning what bdsm means.
@Paliden Gamer! Games,Animations,and more! you don't want to know
Shigeru Miyamoto : “ Do what you want But Mario doesn’t kill”
Also Shigeru Miyamoto : designs Mario to squish enemies to existence
He's not killing them, he's just flattening them so they can't move anymore
It doesn't count if they have extra lives
@Kanashimi That's actually a lie. I don't know if Game Theory started it or just spread it further, but the manual says and I quote "If you come across mushrooms who have been turned into bricks or made invisible, they reward you a powerboost. With each boost Mario changes into a different, more powerful Mario, as shown below."
In actuality only the bricks that have hidden items in them are toads.
@@AtomTomZeitalter in the manual is says "the quiet peace loving mushroom people were turned into mere stones bricks and even feild horse plants, and the mushroom kingdom fell to ruin."
@@AtomTomZeitalter remember new super mario pris where mario boils bowser into lava and burns his skin off making him bare bones?
Nintendo: *Instantly see's similatrity between Mario hat and McDonalds M"
Me: I never thought about that
The day Ronald Mcdonald start rescue the Princess after getting kidnapped by
Burger King.
I mean I don’t blame McDonald’s, I’d LOVE to sponsor Mario’s Hat
Would explain why he's fat.
Pseudo Lama he ain’t fat he’s thick
Pseudo Lama hey
THeY e@T the b@By
Nice profile picture.
Fun Fact one of my most Ionic Pictures is Me wearing a Mario Hat
This might explain why the McDonald's NES game seems so much like a desperate Mario clone.
I think McKids even reuses assets from Super Mario World, or at least assets that look very similar. That forest level at the start of the game looks JUST like Forest of Illusion
mcdonalds isn’t gonna screw you dude, stop
your content is so good! thank you so much for making these videos!
The crazy thing is that when Nintendo went on to make Wario, I think they made the W in his hat blue to ensure that no character in the game had a letter that resembled the McDonald's logo in any capacity.
pretty sure to stand out because yellow is hard to read from white.
@@ewan1118 They could've done what they did with Waluigi and made the W yellow with a blue outline, but didn't.
6:37. Ahh, four classic Super Mario characters: Mario, Dr. Robotnik, Luigi, and a Spiny.
Wait, what?
*Red Paratroopa
@@SmudgerEntertainment no no, he's right
Road Runner’s TH-cam Channel no its a spiny
@@ohmyglob7222 are we just accepting that robotnik was always a Mario character now?
It’s green mario
6:37 these two companies partnered up to make these Mario figures
Mario, EGG MAN, Luigi and Yoshi
SnooPING AS usual i see
Ah yes, noted Mario Character Dr. Eggman
You posted this twice
That's not yoshi

It was named eGG
“The two companies partied up to create these Mario figures.”
*shows eggman*
To be honest it's a nice to hear that for once Huge company Didn't try to sue another company to an oblivion because of a similarity, but encouraged it and gave the go ahead to the thing nintedo was on purpose trying to avoid. It's a nice change of phase.
Shigeru: “Mario doesn’t kill.”
Mario: *Proceeds to decimate millions of minions.*
Chuck King Kooper in a pit of lava? Sure, why not.
@@fromthegamethrone not to mention the possible brain damaged from the baddies that take three hits to take them out
cool stolen comment
Rest In Peace,Goombas.
it also says that all the bricks are cursed toads so each time he breaks a brick he breaks a toad

Mario doesn't kill but he's fine with crushing their bodies to the point they couldn't move

Hint: He's snooping as usual.
PINGAS
SnooPING AS usual
Point it out " go on i'M wAiTinG."
Beeg Mario
why is this funny
you could have referred to old bowser as literally *ANYTHING* else
I love the respect between the two company’s and how they still partnered up. I appreciate that.
He really did a great job, I never saw Mario as a McDonalds employee.
6:35 Ah yes, my favorite Super Mario character, Dr Robotnik
Ah, yes, enslaved man on ship
@@therealthatcatstabe360 ah.. yes yes
2:59 Tell that to the countless Goombas who were massacred by this plumber jumping on their skulls.
6:14 Dr. Robotnick commits photobombing.
No, it's 6:36
Dude,the goombas are hearthless Monsters.
Also they dont die,it is stated by Captain goomba in superstar saga+ Bowser's minions saga.
0:24 Me: *Realizes that the art for the game is Mario falling into lava*
Thomas Game Docs: Simple and classy
*not so sure about that Jimbo*
"Mario never kills"
So those koopas and goombas just disappear?
Disarmed in a way, and irrelevant as threats. The same way Mario loses a life he doesn't "die", he comes back.
6:40 Ah, yes. My favourite Mario character is right in the middle!
I think he was talking about bald mario with orange mustache in the Vehicle thing
(Ik its Dr Robotnik/Dr eggman but to match what alot of comments have been saying I'm calling him bald mario)
@@kentuckyfriedmuffins2461 Indeedo
Robotnik/Eggman is based on Mario anyhow, sometimes when I point that out idiots will say "No, he's based on Theodore Roosevelt!" but he's actually 'inspired' by both. Specifically the one from SMB3 (the most current version during Sonic1's development) who, due to the 3 color palette, had a red shirt and black pants. He also runs with his arms out, much in the same way. Later, in the cartoons, they also gave Robotnik a yellow cape, as if to update him to SMW Mario.
“Mario doesn’t kill”
Meanwhile mario crushes In a goombas skull
Goombas deserve that,and anyway,they dont die from it,it was confirmed by Captain goomba.
@@cbfranco3307 i heard that in the original game story, many civilians of the mushroom kingdom became bricks? Seem familiar?

@@AngieAJ You cannot break question bricks,matpat is a liar and a idiot.
@@cbfranco3307 Jesus chill
2:55
Game theory fans: angery
This is quite an episode and cool. How nice is it to know
I mean, Ronald and Mario can now duke it out in Rivals of Aether, so if they still have any grudges, they can just punch each other.
@Kris Kagura I had to look up what MUGEN was. It sounded vaguely familiar.
@@KKHell
More like ROA is a rematch between them.
“Mario doesn’t kill”
As he shoots literal fireballs at turtles which causes them to blow up and fall through the earth, stomps on squishy mushrooms, and chucks a ginormous tortoise into a fire pit by chopping a bridge
but he doesnt kill pepil so that good
Don’t worry they all got better.
JellyFilledOnigiris no
Mario squishing Goombas is not murder, but shooting them is illegal
@NanoPhoenix you forget he's killing innocent toads whenever he breaks a brick read the manual.
Never knew a video about Mario's M and McDonald's could be so damn entertaining
Mario: m
McDonald’s: bro that’s like our logo
i actually think it's really neat that miyamoto's mario design was kept practically the same. not only was it a solid design to begin with, but it was practically his main idea baby. i bet it felt astounding to him that one of the greatest animators of japan decided that he made a good design for the character.

I just started watching your videos and you just earned a subscriber.
Yo I just revisited Thomas game docs after like a year and I just remembered how much I enjoy his videos
Miyamoto: Mario doesn't kill.
Matpat: I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

It's fake killing...
It's called tranquilizing :v

"Mario doesn't kill"
That is incredibly ironic given how the English instruction manual reads.
3:41--4:29 I love the change up of style for the phone call bit. That was fun
"They released Mario figures for a McDonalds toy"
(shows Dr.Robotnik) 6:41
Similar to Spider-Man and Batman, Mario also has a no kill rule. He'll just incapacitate your spine as he jumps on it and screams YAHOOO
Some of the most quality content on TH-cam
0:30 Miyamoto was a professional ilustrator, he startet working on Nintendo as a illustrator...
Actually design was what miyamoto was originally hired for as he designed things like the arcade cabinets or the cards that Nintendo used to make and wasn't that interested in making games in his first year at nintendo

"Mario doesn't kill."
HAHAHAHAH GOOMBA
It's fake killing...
@@Justin-Hill-1987 well Mario doesn't exist lmao
he didn't really kill goombas, all he did was defeat them, and if the first goomba in every 1-1 is the same goomba and the first goomba did die, then that would mean that bowser somehow revived the goomba.
Ever Heard of goombones? If a goomba did died,no problem,they became goombones like koopas became dry Bones.
Also knowing Bowser's minions survived the explosion of Bowser's airship in superstar saga,I doubt they would die from jumping.
I love how the professional animator's name sounds like yo weegee
I love how there's Christmas music in June
3:49 BRO THIS GUY HAD THE NINTENDO SWITCH SINCE THE 90'S

Honestly I'm glad they're still working together to this day. I tend to often become interested in what McDonald's does with their Happy Meal toys and see if they've come up with a cool gimmick for what Mario's line does, and I also tend to enjoy playing Super Mario Maker on my Wii U while having fries.
Yes I'm 20 and I'm interested in what they're doing for children, so what? To grow old isn't to grow up.
