It's almost been a full year since we saw two truly horrifying Mario stories pop up on the internet. Within the same week, Stormy Daniels compared a part of Donald Trump's anatomy to "the mushroom character in Mario Kart", while the internet went into meltdown over Bowsette fan art.
In a strange turn of events, the latest playable Mario Kart character manages to combine the two, as Peachette is being introduced to the series - and she can rain mushrooms onto the track using her mushroom-shaped cannon. I call this the pathetic phallacy.
First seen in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Peachette is formed when Toadette puts on the Super Crown to become a version of Peach (that's the infamous item that started the Bowsette fan art movement, FYI). Her special item, The Mushroom Cannon, allows players to continuously fire out mushrooms onto the track, giving everyone who collects one a temporary speed boost, "making everyone happy". "You get a Mushroom... everyone gets a Mushroom!" is a quote from Nintendo I did not expect to see today.
