Is Mario a communist (joke thread)?

Post by Jesusfreak »

The joke came up when some buddies and I noticed how on the old NES game, Mario would take down the little peace flag and put up a red star. It turns out, while searching for youtube videos, that there actually is a conspiracy theory that Mario is a communist XD.

I'm not sure if that was supposed to be satire or if the person was being serious XD. Did bring up a few decent points. Most of them are probably either jokes on the part of Nintendo or just coincidences (it would have made more sense if King Koopa was a corrupt businessman instead of a king :) ).

And here's a flash video of Mario as a communist fighting against evil monsters (goombas) for the freedom of the working class, or something like that :lol:.

Also, now that I think about it, Luigi is green, and I've heard that green is supposed to represent Western Democracy... could the game be a parable on how the West (represented by Luigi) is helping Communism (represented by Mario) overthrow traditional life and conservatism (represented by King Koopa)?
Lulz, I highly doubt Nintendo would have put that much thought into the hidden storyline of a game... although, let this be a note to gamemakers everywhere: If you game becomes famous, make sure there aren't weird coincidences in it :lol:.
