Super Mario Galaxy 2 Box Art Responds to Original's Hidden Message



The world is one step closer to discovering who Mr. Gay really is.

The most absurd coincidence to arise in the history of humankind has presented itself in the form of the latest Super Mario Galaxy [http://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-Galaxy-2-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002BSA388/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1279057232&sr=1-1] box art may have included a hidden message, found by noticing which letters were labeled with small shine marks, and while that message was coincidental enough, it appears that the sequel's cover offers a direct response.

Looking closely at the box art [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/images/view/65117] for Super Mario Galaxy, you can see that the shine marks clearly spell out "U R MR GAY," or "You Are Mr. Gay." The game became known for exhibiting this silly, immature message, but nobody thought it could have actually been intentional, until now.

Looking at All is Brawl [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/images/view/65118] noticed that if you reverse the sequence, you get: "YA I M R U," or "Yeah I am, are you?"

I'm speechless. The nature of a coincidence is such that it could happen twice, but this is almost on par with the kinds of hidden messages politicians leave for each other [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95801-Schwarzenegger-Gives-a-F-k-You-to-Lawmakers]. Could it be that some kind of unknown creature or presence only has the ability to communicate through shine marks on Super Mario Galaxy box art? Is someone at Nintendo an expert at silly internet talk and intentionally putting these foolish messages on the boxes? Is this coming straight from Iwata-san himself? Nobody knows, but I can't wait for Super Mario Galaxy 3, not only because I love the series, but because I have to know how this wraps up.

I think this is more a case of All is Brawl's subconsciously suppressed homosexuality breaking free, since you have to reverse & rearrange the letters to get that.

Glad to know Nintendo isnt a compant entirely comprised of family friendly faux political correctness!

I till hate you for saying that you were glad that Fallout 2 image was cut, but the interesting'ness of this article is to much to scorn you for it.
Thank you for your partial forgiveness.

I did notice after I played the first one I started talking with my hands a lot. I'm afraid that after I play this one I may start talking with a lisp and listening to a lot of Abba. Still, if being gay means playing this game, sign me the hell up.

Whomever discovered this should attempt to get a waver from god exonerating them from the amount of life time they wasted figuring this all out.

Just as a side note, doesn't this box art pretty much confirm that Sonic is NOT a playable character as well?

Thank You for your sarcasm. With the way you ended your Article pertaining to the lost Pip-Boy Image, I did'nt think you were one to be humorus, and thought you were sectretly in cahoots with the politically correct League of Soccer Moms. ;)
No, no, I am very humorous and sarcastic. Take almost nothing I say seriously.

For some reason I can't see the image. I've tried refreshing the page and right clicked it on both view image and show image. The image box appears then it disappears shortly after.

I'm more worried about what Mario is doing to Yoshi I find it very suggestive and Yoshi's look of happy submission is terrifying.


I think Mario is in Mid spank also

MR.Gay indeed
