This may be monstrous but at least the teeth don't painfully clang together like they regularly do in Super Mario 64, Mario Party 3, or Mario Party 4.

Weegee was trying to ask to the cops about information for the city so he can rescue the lost artifacts so he can rescue his brother Malleo, but shenanigans ensued as the police caught him jumping on heads of civilian Koopa Troopas suspected of stealing the artifacts and this was the result.

It looks like police is training Weegee to be an officer so he can stop criminals by simply staring at them.

Mr. Anderson. We've been expecting you.

Why is there a racist stereotype in this ad, I legitimately can't see any reason for that to be there

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

I think it's supposed to reference Chai Kingdom from the first game, with its Pionpi and all, but that racist caricature doesn't even resemble those. Anyhow, this ad wouldn't have been acceptable at all today.

 

[Koopa con Carne]

For that matter, why is there a Chinese dragon and a snail with earphones? Are these what the artist construed as Easter eggs? Are they a weird reference to any of the advertised games, or an attempt to target Spanish-speaking kids of the early 90's with something cool and relevant?

Or maybe, just some random background elements sprinkled with neither rhyme nor reason. Even the bull silhouette on the horizon is a bit out of place.

 

[Mcmadness]

Eh, it's pretty harmless as far as adverts go.

 

[Koopa con Carne]

Either Wario's still in cahoots with Abigor and enjoying the perks of that partnership, or has sold his soul to him in pursuit of material gain.

Whatever the case, he now has this ghoulish appearance. Hide.
