I kinda feel like PETA really jumped the gun here. They do know that this is a VIDEO GAME, a medium of fictional entertainment, in which a plumber travels through a magical land of giant lizards and mushroom people to save a princess right? Man, I just can't stand PETA...

PETA is not even trying to be taken seriously anymore. It's bad enough you'd swear they were a front for an opposing group designed to mock real groups who care about animals.
The author said the tanooki suit is disturbing if you think about it, but you'd have to have a pretty sick mind for your mental train to even end up there in the first place.
Seriously, they saw the digital pudgy animal costume vaguely referencing tanooki features and;
1) assume the digital costume represents the fur of a (digital?) tanooki
2) assume the digital hero is supporting the real world tanooki fur market on the sly
3) devote however much time and energy to develop a propoganda game that reinforces gory twisted imagery that didn't exist IN TIME for the real game's release, WHICH even for a small game, pretty much had to been in the works the moment the tanooki suit was first rumored.
Right now, Defenders of Wildlife are struggling against lawmakers and their supporters who want to shoot wolves on sight in Wyoming. Greenpeace is working to tear down Japan's abuse of the hunting whales "for science" loophole. PETA made a game perverting the imagery of Mario wearing a pudgy animal costume.

That flash game was supposed to be an attack on mario? Damn, I though it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen.
In all seriousness, PETA has funded domestic terrorist groups and is responsible for more animal euthanasia than any other group in the US. They are hypocrites and treat people like shit.
The only thing they have done I like is getting good looking women to stand naked in front of high-end stores... seriously we need more nude protesting... but they have to be good looking...

I know a new one already:Lagwalker said:
Harry Potter is an animal abuser, because owls shouldn't be kept in cages.
Yeah, I'm not even going to state my opinion on this, since everyone else is has been saying it far too many times.
RatRace123: PETA is Pro Stupid.
Still good for a laugh though. At this point in their illustrious lifetime PETA has sort of devolved into a caricature of an extremist animal rights group.
And I for one, find that hilarious.

NEWS FLASH:
Mario turns into a tanuki-man via magic maple leaf.
[dripping sarcasm]
Research is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard, I mean you have to play the game for at least 20 FUCKING minutes to get a tanuki powerup! How do those journalists and organizations who *actually* sticks to a code of ethics and conventions ever do it???

Peta, I didn't want it to come to this, but this is the final straw, I have officially lost the little respect I had for you, and have been added to my "List of organizations to avoid at all costs" until further notice.
You don't fuck with Tanooki.
