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 .

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 .

xD I've never hear he was commy before.

Haha That gives me a chuckle, a communist plumber who saves princesses.

you can take anything today and relate it to anything else. Regardless I enjoyed mario and if it is just now that people are seeing what it might be then they failed for mario is dead. The Wii killed him.

The wii Killed alot more then Communist Mario

Like entertaining gameplay that doesn't revolve around gimmicky hand motions?

hahahaha yes

If the wii didn't have the hand motions, they would have nothing to there name at all.

it would be what it really is, a gamecube
