Mario Responds To PETA is a reference to how Nintendo was accused of animal cruelty with the release of Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS.
Plot[]
The video starts with Mario appearing on-screen. He tells the viewers that PETA recently accused him of animal cruelty by wearing the skin of a Tanooki raccoon. Mario says this isn't true since the Tanooki suit is made of synthetic fibers and that he gets it by grabbing a magical leaf. However, as Mario continues his speech, he starts showing signs of animal cruelty by jumping on Monty Moles, crushing and tail-whipping some Rexes, burning Cheep-Cheeps, and dropping Yoshi into a lava pit. After hitting a Koopa Troopa multiple times with its own shell, Mario says everyone cares about PETA like PETA cares about them, but right after he finishes his speech, he kills the Koopa by shooting it with a gun.
