Nintendo got a lot of crap recently for flashing Mario’s nipples in Mario Odyssey but how many actually remember that time Mario flashed his John Thomas in an official Nintendo licensed Manga.

The manga series in question was published between 1988 to 1998 with each series being themed around a Mario game. In Super Mario Land issue, Mario decided to bare his nether regions after having his butt bitten by a fish bone.

What made it worst is that he did it in full view of Princess Peach… who naturally did not take it too well.

It is good to reflect back into a time where people are less whiny about every little thing they see or don’t see and just take it in humorously. If you would like to know more about the manga, you can head on to Kotaku’s article here.
