"Hey, we already got that whole eating mushrooms thing going, what if Mario was actually literally tripping fucking BALLS in our next game?"
"Nah man, we can't market that to children..."
"We're just gonna call it 'wonder seeds' or some shit, idk" "SOLD!"

For real though, any excuse for the teams at Nintendo to unleash their whole creativity is a plus in my book.
I'm not preordering out of principle, but the game looks great!
