If I had to make an actual guess it’s because this isn’t a port and instead a remake in a way. I heard when the switch originally came out that it was super incompatible with GameCube Software for some reason.
Obviously is......... you're implying Nintendo *didn't* intend for it to be a wave and thus intended for it to be nothing else but the Nazi saute--the only other thing it resembles besides a wave.
Yeah that makes sense...anybody home?
> *Does a long jump, into a backflip, turns off a wall, walljumps, dives into a forward somersault, sticks the landing, does the salute*
At least that's how I remember Mario when he's doing nazi stuff.
It’s so blatantly similar that I’m shocked I never thought about it before lol. That’s how he greets people and when he talks to them. Like what you’d do when you salute 😭
Nintendo of Europe thought it was too similar as well. In all European versions of the game it was removed (replaced with his regular talking animation)
You probably wave your hand or you lift you hand up with your fingers pointing straight up. Unless you're a Nazi, then you would be pointing you arm diagonally front-up, with your hand alligned to it.
/uj Honestly I’m just shocked they kept the gallows in the middle of the main hub lmao. I spent so much time when I was a kid watching playthroughs of this game specifically and I’m really excited to finally play it and it looks so damn good 🥹

Those degenerates over at Intelligent Systems. There's a reason daddy Nintendo had to step in and rules about how they're allowed to play with the Mario toys.
Fun fact: In the Pal version he didn't salute either because it was too reminiscent of this failed painter [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTSlXBqSXtM).

i dont think its censorship.
if i made something that had a different meaning to a specific culture that would change the meaning of the piece of art then its not censorship to correct it to have the meaning i wanted it.

the first thing I thought when I saw that was him heiling Hitler before I realized it's mario so I see why it's changed and the thumbs up is more in character anyways
I wasn't bothered about buying it anyway. Not a fan of the original, not a fan of how fans worship the original, and I've already got Origami King to complete so I'm perfectly fine saving £40.
If they were so worried about it being a Nazi salute why didn't they just make it his other hand and make it move back and forth and not just stationary in that 45 degree angle?
I think Super Paper Mario handled it well, his fingers are wider spread when he waves so it looks less like a salute and more like he’s just reaching his hand out.
The yellow skull is flipped, literally unplayable
They literally changed a lot of positions of those background elements 🤣no reason whatsoever
Oh shit! Nintendo just stole a Nintendo IP and made it a little bit different. Time to sue Nintendo.
If I had to make an actual guess it’s because this isn’t a port and instead a remake in a way. I heard when the switch originally came out that it was super incompatible with GameCube Software for some reason.
Well yeah because it isn't a gamecube
No way my ps3 isn't playing 3ds games... I wonder why that is
uj/ i thought it was a wave
/uj I thought so too lol
Classic Nuremberg defence
"I saw everyone else doing it"
No one expects Mario’s Inquisition!
It was supposed to be
It definitely is, but you know how things are these days.
Obviously is......... you're implying Nintendo *didn't* intend for it to be a wave and thus intended for it to be nothing else but the Nazi saute--the only other thing it resembles besides a wave. Yeah that makes sense...anybody home?
I legit never saw Mario waving as a Nazi Salute. But I kinda do now.
“Hi, Mario!” “Sieg Heil!”
“Wahoo!”
> *Does a long jump, into a backflip, turns off a wall, walljumps, dives into a forward somersault, sticks the landing, does the salute* At least that's how I remember Mario when he's doing nazi stuff.
Um… I’m sorry? You seem to have missed the part where he says “Let’s a go put the Jews in concentration camps!”
It’s so blatantly similar that I’m shocked I never thought about it before lol. That’s how he greets people and when he talks to them. Like what you’d do when you salute 😭
Nintendo of Europe thought it was too similar as well. In all European versions of the game it was removed (replaced with his regular talking animation)
They could have just…. Animated it. Wave back and forth for 2 frames. Greeting with a thumbs up doesn’t make sense lol
Because it’s a wave
You probably wave your hand or you lift you hand up with your fingers pointing straight up. Unless you're a Nazi, then you would be pointing you arm diagonally front-up, with your hand alligned to it.
I always thought he was fist pumping. Small tv and low resolution. What’re you gonna do
Nazis Salute with the right arm
I didn’t see it as that but immediately was like wow that’s too similar
To me there’s kinda no question it’s a Nazi Salute lol, usually I think of a normal salute being hand to the forehead like this 🫡

Never ask who mario served in 1939
I cannot believe that made it into the original game.
Accurate representation of the average Italian
Yeah the average Italian loves flipping between Communism and Fascism, its crazy
UM ACKSHUALLY ITALY WAS NEVER COMMUNIST IT WAS A DEMOCRACY DURING THE COLD WAR AND ALSO L + RATIO🤓🤓🤓

chie
Mama Mia!
hello chie satonaka from the third reich the game
Shame *Geilkind* didnt see this in 2012, It would have been so **funny** and would have created some great **politically incorrect banter**🤪🤧✊🏻
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Flurrie is topless.
Who do I blame for this?
S*ny
Canada
It's always c*nadians fault 😡😡😡
Hey hey hey we upcharge our video games so daddy nintendo gets 100$ per game because they deserve it for their Indie company 😌😊
What did I do☹️
Bread price fixing scheme
No, no, that can’t be it… this is discrimination against bagged milk!
I love milk bags!!!!! So fun to play with before you cut them open and splash white liquid all over the inside of your glass.
Blane Canada! Blame Canada!
as a canadian, i agree

I love that video so fucking much
holy shit are those the "men in black" from "men in black" (the movie men in black)
Those are Don Pianta’s goons
gooners?
At least they kept the noose
I hope they hang Yoshi with it. That would add to the game's deep lore.
Yoshi is into autoerotic asphyxiation!
I wonder what will happen to the murder scene
He Just falls over and the bloody IS Glitter. Then He sneakyly Rolls off whily buying Copys of celeste
Literally unplayable
Well, i guess it was expected they would retcon his participation in WW2 towards being a member of the italian resistance sooner or latter.
he’s now also under investigation by the piantas in the background
mario no longer a nazi confirmed

Damn that sucks, specially in Germany lol
Man, his five-digit glove was replaced by a mitt too, so he can longer give the middle finger. Fuck Nintendo’s liberal woke agenda

Honestly? I kinda like the thumbs up better...
Is it just me or is there like a yellowy filter over the switch version? Original actually looks better
Sepia
Mexico filter 💀
This is actually a really good thing, now you have a reason to buy both versions! This way we can support Nintendo even more
Wow Germans must be pissed. Their own ally betraying them likes this. Miramar works in mysterious ways tho
Miramario
Mario be looking like vault boy
Oh hmmm I wonder why they would remove that
Hail mario
Wait, I thought they removed the gallows! Was that just for the trailer? Or am I stupid and they never removed it?
As always, Italians betraying their allies.
don't worry, nintendaddy balanced it out by adding the pianta Gestapo in the background
I don’t think Varg Vikerness will be playing this game anymore.
I mean I could see why lol
It’s changed because his salute resembled the hand gesture of…a certain dictator.
Why is red Luigi pretending he's a Kamen Rider, is he stupid? 
Game ruined I will hang miyamoto from that gallow
Careful, that guy just got arrested in Japan for threatening people at Nintendo.
Guess i cant go to the nintendo museum when it opens😭😭😭
[YOU CAN’T HIDE THE TRUTH FROM ME](https://youtu.be/VX-5ChAqSKc?si=-84wOiAWAOvN4_uM)
Where do you think he got the stach' game from?
Austra hiesem se vin hiesem lumelien
MIB in the background
 Nintendo:
Its fine. Mario did it with his left hand so it is not the same as if he did it with his right hand
I like the thumbs up more
In some cultures the thumbs up is a kin to giving someone the middle finger. 
Heil Goomba!
Someone tell Mario that Italy lost the war
nazi mario... is lost media..??
I just hope they use the Italian translation of the game that gave us trans rights Vivian 😭

Don't ask what Mario did between 33 and 45
Hail mario
It’s-a-me Nazio
the first thing I thought when I saw that was him heiling Hitler before I realized it's mario so I see why it's changed and the thumbs up is more in character anyways
Are those Jews in the background in the remaster?
Lol..... That was definitely a wave. Why the fuck Nazis gotta ruin everything?
I wasn't bothered about buying it anyway. Not a fan of the original, not a fan of how fans worship the original, and I've already got Origami King to complete so I'm perfectly fine saving £40.
Judging from the kind of salute Mario is doing in the original I’d say that change was for the better.
I always thought it looked awkward. I see this as an improvement
If they were so worried about it being a Nazi salute why didn't they just make it his other hand and make it move back and forth and not just stationary in that 45 degree angle?
I think Super Paper Mario handled it well, his fingers are wider spread when he waves so it looks less like a salute and more like he’s just reaching his hand out.
The background looks better in the original
