Mario Party Superstars Removes NSFW Easter Egg From Original Mini-Game

Mario Party Superstars fans are feeling a bit puckered after noticing that one of the updated minigames had a rather unique Easter egg removed. Mario Party Superstars contains 100 different minigames from previous Mario Party games, most of which were taken from the original trilogy of Nintendo...

comicbook.com

One of the minigames in Mario Party Superstars is the Bobsled Run based on the Mario 64 minigame in which players race a penguin down an ice slide. In Mario Party 2, players jumped inside an actual penguin-shaped sled to race, which had some interesting anatomical accuracies. Many players likely noticed that the rear end of the penguin sled contained a distinctive "X" on its rear end, which of course represents the end of the digestive system. It's a weird little detail that surprisingly made it past prudish US censors when Mario Party 2 was first released in 2000 in the US, but sadly did not make the cut in Mario Party Superstars. As you can see below, the bobsleds in Mario Party Superstars are bland, non-penguin-shaped bobsleds that entirely lack any sort of anatomical surprises. It appears that NDCube decided not to make players stare at the rear end of a penguin for several minutes, opting instead for something a bit more tame.

Never noticed that in the original TBH.

pre-order cancelled

No butthole, no buy

 

[StateofMajora]

What, do buttholes not exist now Nintendo?! How could they be so wooooooke

Never buying this game now.

/s

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Butt think of the little penguins.

If I ever form a punk band, I'm going to call it Penguin Anus.

Mario Party Superstars uses the Bobsled Run from Mario Party 1 though..

Looking forward to the DX version of Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars when they change the naked dudes who shit out boulders:

No butthole, no buy

This is the worst timeline.

 

[BootsLoader]

How are penguins supposed to take a shit now? They tossed away animal rights. Screw you Nintendo.

They removed the whole penguin, but people are fixated on the butthole.

 

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

I mean, I suppose in theory a remake can do what it wants, but why not just make new penguin boards that don't have their buttholes facing the camera all the time? Certainly better than yet another mushroom-based design.

The Bobsled run in Mario Party Superstars is based off of MP1s which had generic Bobsleds, MP2s version was the one with penguin design.

Butt... why?

Paging PETA.

No, they removed the penguin hole.

 

[MasterCornholio]

What the heck am I going to use my TP with now?

Damn it Nintendo nobody touches my bungholes but me.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Yet Mario's nipples were OK? For shame, Nintendo.

 

[Guilty_AI]

No butthole, no buy

cursed pickup artist line

 

[Bo_Hazem]

This just makes it unlickable... I mean unlikeable.

 

[Ailike]

More evidence for anti-consumer censorship that is ripping the industry apart.

 

[Missingnomer]

I can't believe Nintendo would do this. It just makes it harder for parents to explain that animals have butt holes and nut sacks too. Now when I go to the zoo with my family, I have to do the awkward talk about monkey nuts to my child.

 

[Interfectum]

I just threw my OLED Switch in the trash. Done.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Fucking nintendo with their pandering censorship bullshit…what the fuck will i beat my meat to now?

 

[GymWolf]

I can't even call them a bunch assholes because they will probably delete my comment aswell.

That X asshole used to give me a mini-boner.

 

[RoadHazard]

Now what will I masturbate to?

 

[Deerock71]

I find it hilarious that made it in the original in the first place.

 

[Fbh]

Game ruined

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Shame. It's quite a harmless funny detail. Then again, perhaps it was challenging to translate an anus in the new design

[mnkl13]

From what i am seeing, they removed the whole penguin. how could they remove the penguin but not the penguin butthole?

By inventing butthole sleds, naturally. That is, after all, what Nintendo intended.

Maybe they didn't want HD penguin buttholes.
