The Metal Mario fist of law is coming down of late on anything that shows a slight likeness or allusion to any Nintendo property. Emulators once thought they were safe and blatant Pokemon rip-offs are now running with their tail between their legs for trying something different.
Now Nintendo are sweeping the streets of Italy and Brooklyn, New York, to flush out any Italian plumbers by the name of Mario. The fear is that Nintendo are losing money from consumers who would spend money on their Mario products who are now spending money on getting their toilet fixed by a plumber named Mario. It's completely reasonable.
Locals that know an Italian plumber named Mario have reportedly irritated the cause by banding together to create safe havens for these men. There's no place safer than hiding them under the floorboards. The lawyers will stick their noses in, check the typical areas for plumbing activity and will leave. Many Marios have escaped the law and have not had to pay Nintendo for their likeness to the Mario franchise. Others have not been so lucky, some took their job too seriously. A house that was hiding seven Marios became a hive of plumbing activity once they all noticed a leaky pipe. They knew the risk and took it anyway, duty over cowardice. Lawyers burst through the door as they heard the squeak of monkey wrenches in action. The pipe was fortunately fixed and the black Maria van was then filled with the plumbers to be escorted to the local Nintendo County Court. If you know of an Italian plumber named Mario then Nintendo are offering an award of an Alarmo for any information.
