Solo game dev and comic artist Squidoodle has spotted on the Steam a certain Mario Mario and Luigi Mario, and so on. A bundle including 13 episodes from the 1990 release The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 has been Unfortunately, it is also only available in America, but with a trusty VPN I could confirm that the show is still there. And it has seemingly been there for around 6 or so years.
So I found that Steam sells shows and movies, but not only that, it sells the entirety of the Mario 3 cartoon, making it the only official Nintendo product available on Steam

While this isn’t the first time TV shows and movies have been available on Steam, it does happen to be the only official Nintendo media available on Steam. It’s funny to think about this.
Considering Nintendo loves to strike down any living thing even thinking about making content featuring the red plumber guy, it would be normal to assume that they wouldn’t be happy about this. However, they actually don’t give a shit about The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3. Why is that? Because they don’t own it.
The rights to The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 (1990) actually belonged to DIC Entertainment (what a fuckin’ throwback, wow), which was then absorbed by the Cookie Jar Group in 2008. The Cookie Jar Group was the one that made the show available on Steam, as it has been there for many years. However, the Cookie Jar Group was also absorbed into DHX Media in 2012, a company that is now called WildBrain, which changed names in 2019.
So now WildBrain owns the rights to The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 and are doing what they please. The goofy and silly thing about this whole thing is that the show is also available for the exact same quality not only on YouTube, but on the official WildBrain YouTube account. They have put the entire catalogue on there. More than what’s available on Steam, and it’s free. Go watch it.
While it’s a mystery why they continue to keep a paid version of the show on Steam despite the entire thing being free on YouTube, it does allow for some great Steam reviews of the product.
While this is all well and good, the cherry on top are the tags, which happen to be “Anime”, “Family-Friendly”, “World War II” and “Hentai”.
So maybe they’ve added a deleted scene where Luigi jerks off and cries? Who knows. Maybe this show for children had a lot more sexual innuendo than any of us even realised. Maybe Mario Mario is actually the horniest little freak alive.
Also, World War II…

Hm. Interesting.
