Paper Mario: The Origami King is readily available now on Nintendo Switch, and its a cute, however in some cases penalizing experience in the classic Paper Mario design. It has fourth-wall-breaking humor, challenging employer battle puzzles, and a genuinely shocking variety of Toads.
It also has what seems the most blatant NSFW sex joke Ive ever seen in a Paper Mario video game, since one of the antiques looks so much like a penis that it seems to either be a significant gaffe or someone at Nintendo is feeling extremely pushed. Just, take a look at this thing. Its called a Desert Tower and it appears in the Scorching Sandpaper Desert area of Paper Mario: The Origami King.
Sure, youre stating, at that angle, and with that fleshy tone, and due to the fact that Toad heads are so bulbous, it looks type of like a dong. However in-game, where the tower stands happy and put up thrusting from the purple sands of the Scorching Sandpaper Desert, it looks completely innocent.

You see it? The Sex Number. This just cant be a coincidence, this phallic Toad trophy simply hanging out there in entry No. 69 in the Paper Mario: The Origami King collectibles menu. With that information, even the product description– “Said to be modeled after a legendary king!”– somehow seems suggestive. I currently understand what one-word remark youre going to compose under this post, due to the fact that we all know whats going on here.
Great.
The Paper Mario games have actually always been packed with jokes. Some of them divert towards suggestive, like these weighty ellipses in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door:

However the Desert Tower collectible entry in The Origami King is such an in-your-face gag, analyzing this as anything but deliberate by someone at Nintendo is, well, a little difficult to swallow.
And theres this scene from Paper Mario: Color Splash that is open to all kinds of analysis (however none kid-friendly):.
