Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct broadcast showed off some amazing footage from the upcoming Super Mario Odyssey, but apparently the internet isn’t as impressed as Nintendo might have hoped. They’re not talking about level design or gameplay or any of the cool features described, nope… they’re talking about Mario’s nipples.
You read that right. During the gameplay footage, we saw Mario running shirtless through a beach-themed landscape—and apparently his chest being so, well, out there caused people to make quite a few intriguing comments. Not all are suitable for our family-friendly site, but here are a few:

Upon further inspection, Mario has been shirtless before…but DIDN’T HAVE NIPPLES. He GREW nipples for Odyssey. Story of the CENTURY. pic.twitter.com/V0luiEUYxC

Hey, nothing wrong with a little body positivity, right? If you want to run around shirtless, more power to you, Mario. More power to you.
