Suda 51 wants Mario to embrace a new kind of “fire arm”
While many of us know Mario as an innocent Italian plumber, many YouTube clips have proved that others wish he could wield an automatic rifle like Tony Montana from Scarface. One individual that has expressed interest in an “adult-themed” Mario, is none other than Suda 51. When he was asked if he would consider creating a game for a younger audience he replied:
“I want to make a Super Mario game for adults. Maybe Mario could wear an Italian suit and have a machine gun. But Nintendo probably wouldn’t like that idea.”
While the chances of Nintendo allowing anybody to tamper with Mario’s image are pretty darn slim, one can’t help but wonder what a Mario game would be like if he had the ability to snipe King Bowser from outside the castle instead of throwing him by the tail. Then again, Bowser would probably be packing heat as well.

Suda 51? I heard that name in a NINTENDO POWER review for No More Heroes! All it said was, “Suda 51 is a maniac”.
That’s a submachinegun. An SMG is not an automatic rifle.
The photo features a SMG, but the article isn’t talking about JUST that photo.
Besides, guns are guns. They shoot bullets and kill people, so stop getting caught up in petty specifics.
