    Mario Always Did Seem A Bit Like A Commie.

    Why does Nintendo choose an overweight, big-nosed plumber with an ungainly moustache and ridiculous suspenders, in the first place? Could this unlikely heroic figure represent/resemble/ridicule Russia’s amicus humani and amor patriae, StalinEverything he wears is red and he looks a helluva lot like the communist super man. Like his Russian comrades, Mario’s nemesis is a king (King Koopa), and he’ll do whatever it takes to overthrow his legitimate regime and give the power to the people (Princess Toadstool). At the end of every level in “Super Mario Bros.” he tears down a peace flag and raises something that resembles the red star of Russia.

     Too many signs to ignore? Or is this just one big coincidence?
