There’s A Japanese Comic Where You See Mario’s Dick, So RIP Your Innocence

Super Mario Odyssey is out this week, and it kicks all kinds of arse. We hate to ruin it for you, but we have some slightly distressing news about your favourite little moustachio’d guy, for it seems there exists a vintage Japanese comic in which Mario’s dick and balls are fully on display.

That’s right – someone in 1980s Japan thought it would be an excellent idea to show off the plucky plumber’s pipe and Goombas in an officially-licensed manga, presumably scarring a generation of Japanese children in the process.

Read on, but be warned that what you’re about to see cannot be unseen.

First, a little context. The image in question comes from a series of comics published by Kodansha from the late ’80s to the late ’90s. Each book in the series was loosely based on an existing Mario game, although clearly, certain creative liberties were taken – the dick parts, for example.

A user on a fan site uploaded scanned copies of the comics some time ago, but it was only recently that someone saw fit to comment upon the upsetting genital display, and the story was first reported on by video game blog Kotaku.

The page below comes from Super Mario Land #1 and shows our hero after a Fish Bone enemy jumps out of the water and bites him on the butt, doing so with such force that it blows his overalls clean off.

Per Kotaku’s description, Peach is hidden inside the robot costume for whatever reason, and after seeing Mario’s dings, she gets worked up, calls him “a perv” and then “punches him into a bonus level full of coins.” Y’know, just like in the games.

Okay, so are you ready to have your warm childhood video game memories comprehensively ruined?

Go right ahead, then, then, you freaks:

Happy now? We hope that was everything you expected.
