Super Bernie World. A Mario Reskin with Bernie Sanders and the election.

This feels like something Moviebob would have made, or a game made specifically for him....

If they are putting it on Steam, they are making an open invitation to Nintendo to shut them down.

Couldn't they have at least tried to make it not look like a Mario-ripoff? They're just asking for legal trouble. It's not like it really needed the Mario element to make the joke (though I use the word loosely) work.

So does that make Trump Bowser?

I guess neither of them are that respectful to women.

Yep, but unlike Bowser Trump himself doesn't put up a fight, he just cries and begs.

Copyright is no barrier for the pushing of political agendas.

If they didn't use any actual assets, name anything trademarked, or copy levels exactly, I don't think Nintendo can do anything about it.

This reminds me of old browser games. There were thousands of Mario, pac man, and tetris clones.

A) it's gone to court a couple of times: you can't copy-right claim on game mechanics.
B) it looks as if the "parody is free speech" clause would be applied
C) it's not a for-profit product, and it would be damn hard to prove that anybody could mistake it for Mario or that it's depriving Mario's owners from profit

Legally, they ought to be fine.

That hasn't stopped them before.

So is the final boss an unwinnable fight with Biden?

Nope, you drop Donald Trump in a Jail Cell.

You have an example of Nintendo taking down genuine homages?

Nope, you drop Donald Trump in a Jail Cell.

You don't even have to fight him - you auto-beat Trump if you reach him. Walk right past him and pull the lever.

Eh, this is kinda funny, but- *does a double take*

OH MY GOD. ARE THE KOOPAS ACTUALLY MITCH MCCONNEL TURTLES?!

I am literally in pain from all the laughter. XD Scratch what I said before, this isn't just kinda funny, it's hilarious.
