Super Murder Simulator Brothers

GamesRadar has compiled not more and not less than 100 Mario fatalities. Everyone's favorite plumber gets stomped, crushed, burned, drowned, ad infininitum, like our bravely bold Sir Robin.

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away;
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin
.

Violent? Yes. Deviant? Probably. These Mario games are simply depraved murder simulators. Worse: they're murder simulators marketed to children. Someone call Jack Thompson. I suppose this is better than playing Manhunt, but not by much.

Reasons why insurance companies steer clear of this plumber (GamesRadar)
