Righto, since there's a delay in my ambition to upload footage onto youtube, I still have the classic write-an-essay investigating a mass majority of something offensive and idiotic... complete with pictures.

Alright… now I’m pissed off. A friend told me about this on the internet

The target this time is PETA. Going beyond their agendas for extremist animal protection, they came out with THIS on their very own website for kids:



I can already feel 60FPS and Fister imagine the hate letters they are about to write.

No no…. this TOTALLY isn’t a ripoff of the NEW SUPER MARIO BROS GAME. And look, the protagonists are wearing both a green and a red hat, respectively… that’s TOTALLY ORIGINAL! I wonder if this game is going to be a platformer with mushrooms and stuff where you have to go and defeat the antagonist, only to realize that the dumb broad is another goddamn castle?!?



Hey look, the same control scheme and methods of defeating enemies. Where we seen that before?

And this isn’t the start of it, I mean, the title starts off stupid. For some strange reason COLONEL SANDERS has captured the lovely princess peach… OOP, I mean, Pamela Anderson and has taken her to his castle of death and doom, and the 2 chicken Mario ripoffs have to go off and save her.

Notice the zit on Colonel Sanders' face. This is part of the PETA belief that "all meat products makes you break out into a zitty mess and that milk products can KILL YOU"

You can choose between the two Mario knockoffs, and if you can play through this tripe, you can get a password which can get you to play as Pamela Anderson…. and why the fuck would you want to play as Pamela Anderson anyway? She’s more famous for her giant bazongas then anything else that she ever did.

The plotline is just tota… WHAT THE FUCK?!?





Mario and Luigi getting tired from playing too much Wii? I have nothing to say here. What you see here are screenshots from the actual storyline. You don’t believe me, play the game yourself. I SHIT YOU NOT! Apparently PETA is not only ripping off super Mario bros, they are using the characters IN THE ACTUAL GAME WITHOUT NINTENDO’S PERMISSION! This is what we like to call ‘plagiarism’. Yea, yea, I know… there are fan made movies and games starring Mario characters on Newgrounds and youtube… but you know what? The artists of those movies at least had the decency to give Nintendo credit for them and cite references to the nintendo games which they were from. You try playing this game… do you see PETA giving Nintendo credit for this? NO!.... lets move on.

Now we start to the actual game.



Oh my god, you cannot be fucking serious…



Oh jeez…



Hey look, a box popped up when I jumped up and hit the question mark box. I wonder what it does?



Hmm… it made me grow twice my size. Where did we see this before? Hmmm?

Ok, enough references to how this game just copies Super Mario bros to no extent… let’s move on with the level… stepping on COLONEL SANDERS spider robots on my way to defeat Colonel sanders in PETA’s blown-out-of-proportion sickingly anti-KFC nightmare fantasy with lots of unnecessary blood all over the place...

...

THIS GAME IS AIMED TOWARDS CHILDREN! Parents, do you want your kids playing this?

..

I mean, you get collect chicks in the same fashion that Mario collects coins, and get this… THE 1UP SOUND WHEN YOU COLLECT 100 RINGS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE 1UP SOUND IN SUPER MARIO BROS. Not only did PETA rip off the 1up sound, but they also ripped off the pipe sound, and they also ripped off THIS!!!





They ripped off the flag at the end of each stage...

On the way toward’s Colonel Sanders’ factory of DEATH, you approach some protestors, and the things they say are so one-sided and biased towards meat-producing fast food places like KFC that it’s not even funny. These morons make it sound like it’s a life threatening event that’s going to make chickens go extinct. Here’s an example.



Look, moron. Chickens are a renewable and plentiful resource. If chickens were to become endangered for some reason… I’d at least hear about it from the news or my co-workers. Humans depend on meat (well, non-vegetarians anyway) as a source of protein. I'm sure there are other protein sources in the world... but meat just happens to be one of them.

O yea, whenever you knock down the KFC flag, a PETA one takes it’s place. I have no idea why the KFC bucket was dripping blood back there, this must be PETA’s way of brainwashing small children into thinking that KFC is the root of all evil, and that if you don’t believe in God you will burn in a fiery magma pit for all eternity.

Moving on with the storyline… WHAT THE…?!?



Not only are these guys using Mario and Luigi (and toad), they are also using DR. MARIO as well? Does Nintendo know about this? Anyone? Any chance they will find this rant on one of their searches? And if Nintendo did find out about this game, why aren’t they doing anything about it?

Ahem… Moving on, you find your way into Dr. Sanders’s KFC of DEATH, which looks NOTHING like the KFC restaurants that I’ve ever been into… and why are the pictures in the background bleeding? Why is the sign bleeding? Why do some of the floors have blood on them? This isn’t a slaughterhouse, this is a RESTAURANT!



Like I said, PETA blew this OUT OF PROPORTION. Make note that you don’t follow that small tunnel, for that is the tunnel of DEATH. Seriously, there’s a vat of boiling hot oil right where you land, and it’s hard to dodge due to the controls.

Oh yea, the protestors in this level take the form of rats, saying propaganda like “The colonel doesn’t care if the chickens feel pain” and shit like that.

Now enough plot summary, the hit detection in this game is pretty bad. Hey look, I SHRUNK by barely touching the KFC spider thing. At least Mario got the collision detection right



Look, another sign that says NOTHING like the actual menu at KFC. If people went into a restaurant and saw BLOOD all over the place, they wouldn’t be interested in the first place and call the health regulatory committee. In reality, The KFC restaurants around my area are actually pretty sanitary… well, I don’t know if the workers there wear gloves or not, but at least THERE ISNT BLOOD EVERYWHERE! OK, done the level… and for some reason the ground smokes, and parts and a KFC bucket fly all over the place. The colonel is behind it all as if this isn’t fucking obvious. Onto the next level…





Oh dear…

I shit you not, Mario approaches a bunch of protestors, one of the morons shout out “YOU”, and PROCEEDS TO BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF MARIO. For the stomping of hundreds of koopas or something. WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED HERE?

As for chicken ripoff, you find yourself in the sewers of the KFC factory of death, and here you see your second enemy in the game… the same Colonel sanders spider, hanging from a rope and going up and down. That’s original… The blandness of the enemy variety isn’t that bad compared to the blatent Mario ripoffs and blatant Mario and KFC bashing that’s been happening throughout the game..

The sewer is like a goddamn maze, and If you’ve played the game right, you’ll definitely hear the plagiarism in both the pipe noise and the 1up chime. The entire level is boring, so I went to the next stage.



The next cutscene shows a badly bruised Mario searching around in the sewers looking for princess pam, and notice the colonel spider is actually feeling sorry for him instead of killing him? Oh well, at leas…



…

...

What the fuck?



I kid you not, Princess Peach suddenly shows up FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER and BITCHSLAPS Mario just because he showed her a picture of some stupid whore… and how the hell did princess peach get there in the first place? Why am I still playing this?

This is hurtful, I mean… Why does PETA bash Mario so much? Mario kicks ass, I liked his games… he was a very kickass part of my childhood and a gaming legend. I remember playing Super Mario Bros 2 to death, even though it was the sissy American version of Doki Doki panic. It was an awesome game back then and it's an awesome game now. Why is PETA doing something like this?

MOVING ON… the chickens find themselves in a tropical jungle.



WHAT?

Let me get this straight… We go straight into the KFC kill factory of death, then we go to the sewers, and now we’re in a tropical fucking paradise? The level continuity must really suck here.

Level 4 is no different from the other levels, except there are vines and pits which are instant death, and SPRINGBOARDS in the form of some green or red blob mass. What? You kidding me? Now you are blatantly ripping off Sonic the Hedgehog now? Oh wait, the enemies that I’ve faced throughout the game ARE robotic creatures created by Colonel Sanders… and evertime I beat the level, the ground always smoked indicating that Dr. Evil here is building some kind of death machine thing.

Ah yes, after falling into a pit a couple of times, I reach the next level… and Of course Colonel Sanders is still building that contraption of death… wait…

…

..what the hell did he just pull out?

...



OH GOD….

WILL THIS RIPOFF EVER END?!?

Next off, we have Mario and his faithful companion Yoshi…. Wha…



Seriously, PETA is making Mario look like an idiot. I swear to god… Mario hasn’t had a shred of luck throughout this entire game… Wii accident, beaten up by protestors, slapped by princess peach, have Yoshi run off with said protestors… seriously… DOES NINTENDO KNOW ABOUT THIS?

And honestly, in the games, Yoshi LETS Mario ride him… but sadly Yoshi are easily suspectable to brainwashing. Jeez… this is worse then that video I saw about Jesus camp and how the brainwashed children WERE SPEAKING PRAYER IN TONGUES.

Alright, now to level 5… another factory of death, and doom…



Hey look, it’s the scrap brain zone, complete with conveyor belts and crushing pillar thing. DOES SEGA KNOW PETA IS ALSO RIPPING THEM OFF? Honestly, ripping off Mario is so blatantly obvious in this game it’s painful, but Sonic is more subtle… robot enemies, scrap brain zone… plot about saving small animals from certain doom… clichéd jungle level, same pit death animation… All we need are loopdeloops and the spindash, but nope… cant go there… that’d be barging onto Mario’s gameplay mechanics territory.

Hey, a robot protestor, protesting in the middle of the KFC factory. Mmmmkay?

Alright, so I’m going throughout the factory, avoiding the spiders and the squish pillars of death… and I go to this area, where I app….

...

OH… EMM… FUCKING… GEEE!!!



This is mass plagiarism people… COLONEL SANDERS IS TRYING TO BE BOWSER NOW… by putting on a bowser mask, and riding a similar bubble contraption like bowser did in Super Mario World… that’s it! I’m putting this goddamn plagiarism to an END! Die monster, you don’t belong in this world!



Yea, TAKE THAT, YOU PLAGIARISING MOTHERFUCKER!

THIS IS FOR BASTARDIZING THE SCRAP BRAIN ZONE



AND THIS IS FOR ALL THE BLATANT MARIO RIPOFFS!!!

Well, with the colonel defeated and the KFC of our nightmares vanquished, peace and happiness shall roam the land once more, as the Mario ripoff chickens and Pamela Anderson run off into the sunset.



Gopam… FUCK YOU

…as for Mario…



Well, at least PETA isn’t sending in the protestors to finish him off. Yea Mario, I too am wondering why the fuck PETA would rip you off and rape you like this WITHOUT NINTENDO’S PERMISSION… and you know what’s ludicrous… after the ending, it comes to a loading screen, which leads to this.



A score table…

A MOTHERFUCKING SCORE TABLE! People actually play this game to death and TRY to get a fucking score on this table… hell, somebody even went through the torture of playing as the dumb broad herself.

All this time, I’ve been looking for a credits screen which would hopefully give credit towards Nintendo, BUT THE GAME DOESN’T HAVE ANY.

There you have it… This game is motherfucking offensive… more offensive then Shadow the hedgehog… more offensive then BMX XXX, and even more offensive then anything made by LJN and acclaim back in the 80s… I played the game, and I went through the torture of playing through it ALL and taking and editing the screenshots myself. Not only is this game disrespectful towards KFC, it RIPS OFF THE SUPER MARIO BROTHERS LISCENCE IN ORDER TO DRIVE A MESSAGE. I’m glad this is only on their website and not available on any consoles right now… otherwise I’d be even more pissed off at this ripoff. I’m all for democracy and freedom of speech, but when you have to rip off others to make a statement… it’ll only make people hate you.

Here, don’t believe me… here’s the fucking link. Let’s hope Nintendo shuts these guys down.

[Mr. Fister]

Somebody give me the email address to Nintendo, so I can alert them of this game.

UPDATE! I've sent Nintendo an email via their customer service, telling them all about the game. Here's what I've sent them:

Quote

Hello, Nintendo. I have recently made a horrible discovery while on the internet one day.

I believe you have heard of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, for short. Well, they have made a website for kids named kentuckyfriedcruelty.com. Its main purpose is to teach children about how the restaurant chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken is cruel and malevolent towards the chickens it uses in its food products.

This may sound like it doesn't concern your company, but recently, PETA put up a game titled Super Chick Sisters. The goal of said game is to rescue socialite Pamela Anderson, who has revealed that "KFC's secret recipe is cruelty to chickens," from the "evil" Colonel Sanders. You play as two chicks wearing caps that are very similar to the caps that Mario and Luigi wear, go through levels in a manner that resembles Super Mario Bros. too closely, collect power-ups that make the chick bigger, and so on.

Some pictures can be viewed through these links:

http://img.photobuck...k4/a-image1.png
http://img.photobuck...y2k4/b-plot.png
http://img.photobuck...firstscreen.png
http://img.photobuck...y2k4/i-flag.png
http://img.photobuck...2k4/j-flag2.png

The major reason why this should concern you is the game not only uses many aspects that resemble Super Mario Bros. too much, it also uses some of your copyrighted characters and systems in the game. These characters are used to help convey PETA's message Such examples of which can be found in the pictures through these links.

http://img.photobuck.../d-mariowii.png
http://img.photobuck...4/k-drmario.png
http://img.photobuck...2k4/p-peach.png
http://img.photobuck...marioending.png

More examples can be found within the game.

What's worse is the game does not give credit to you for these characters and systems anywhere. I believe you have the grounds to take PETA to court for unsolicited use of copyrighted material. It will be hard for PETA to defend themselves in court, based on this evidence.

The link to the game can be found below.

http://www.kentuckyf...sters/index.asp

I hope that you take some action on this, as I believe that it is utterly wrong to steal copyrighted characters for the sole purpose of simply proving a point, and that no one should be subjected to this crime against not only yourself, but against all of rationality and common sense.

Thanks for reading,
-Mr. Fister

Pictures from the game are credited to Faze of 1337planet Forums.

Let's all hope Nintendo reads my message.

[Aether]

They had better read it. Because if nothing gets done about this bullshit, then...

Then...

Wow. For the first time in memory, I am actually at a loss for words.

You'll shoot them?

Anyways. I played through a couple levels and the game is so retarded. I want that 10 or so minutes of my life back. Stupid PETA.

[Mr. Fister]

UPDATE!

Nintendo just sent me this email.

Nintendo said:

Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

We appreciate your bringing this issue to our attention. At this time, Nintendo is not affiliated with PETA. I will be sure to pass along your report to our Legal Department for further review.

For the latest news and information on upcoming Nintendo products, please keep an eye on our website (www.nintendo.com).

Nintendo of America Inc.
Greg Hamilton

Let's hope their Legal Department can do the right thing.

[Aether]

Win.

And yes. I will shoot them. However did you guess?

[Moose]

Hahaha, that would be so legendary is Nintendo sued PETA.

[Zephira]

What would even be more legendary is if we (Faze and Fister pretty much) got recognition for doing this.

[Faze]

That'd be pretty crazy right there. Although the attention that we would receive would most likely be the good kind. Like Acclaim and Sunsoft before it, PETA ripped off certain popular franchises in order to push it's agenda and send a message. And of course people are going to get upset and deal with it.

If Nintendo did sue PETA to the point of bankruptcy, it'd be just like when Dave Mirra sued Acclaim for ripping off his videogame to make BMX XXX. I'd surely be relieved when events like this happen, since honest people have the ability to prevent shit from raping and murdering the memories of small children.

Actually, scratch Dave mirra... even with the money gained from the BMX XXX lawsuit, he hired the subpar videogame company Crave entertainment to make a crappy Dave mirra game for the Wii. Oh well, his likeableness was good while it lasted.

[Mr. Fister]

I doubt Nintendo would sue PETA to the point of bankruptcy. They'll probably just demand for the game to be taken off their site.

[60fps]

Yeah, Nintendo wouldn't even have to threaten PETA with their robot ninja legal team of doom. They'd remove the game before it ever reached that point, no doubt.

And you should've included a direct link to 1P in that e-mail. It wouldn't achieve anything, but it'd be pretty funny.

[__________________________]

nintendo wouldnt sue peta because they gave peta permission to use their characters.

edit: maybe not. i'm pretty sure a topic i read a month ago said nintendo gave permission but idk now.

"At this time, Nintendo is not affiliated with PETA"

I'm pretty sure that meant that Nintendo didn't give PETA permission to use their characters.

[60fps]

"At this time..." Hmmm. The way that's worded is very suspicious. It almost sounds like something's going on but they're not ready to announce it yet. Oh no! You realise what this means?! PETA is buying Nintendo! Soon Super Chick Sisters won't just be entirely legal, it'll be joined by things like Legend of The Colonel: A Link To Chicken Cruelty, Nintenchicks, and an overhauled heavily biased Wii Fit, where your console permanently corrupts itself if you ever so much as touch KFC food again. Nooooooo!

I think it would only be classed as affiliation if they were working together in some way, usually in funding/advertising.
Licensing, particularly for a one off thing like this, probably wouldn't make 'affiliation' grade.

Even if PETA are doing this under Nintendo's nose, and Nintendo does sue, I think it is safe to say PETA will have a very strong defence in pointing out the near infinite Mario rip-offs on the Internet, not to mention the endless cartoons, fan-arts and references, most of which haven't been sued.
In effect for Nintendo to pursue the case they would effectively need to go after all of the above which would be public relations suicide.

That's completely irrelevant. Nintendo can choose to press charges against whoever they want to. Any other cases of this alleged "crime" have nothing to do with this case (Well, you could make an argument that they do, but the courts couldn't care less).

[Vulcan]

I have no desire to play that game not for the fact that it rips off Mario but it also just looks so fucking stupid.

[FourthMannity]

PETA are a bunch of total cunts, i'd like to see them hug a fucking tiger! Fucking wankers!
