From 1-10 how much trouble do you think this guy is going to get into?
Tanukitsune \| 7:33 AM on 06.09.2009	19 comments

I just noticed this at the Apple app store...

http://web.me.com/fanwen1974/iApp/Mary_Machine_Classic.html

Hmm, that Mary is very familiar... But no... Who could be so stupid to simply take off the stache off Mario, change the red to yellow and think nobody would notice?

And clearly that isn't a Koopa with Yoshi's head? Of course, not!

I'm sure this poor soul has never even heard of Mario, one of the most famous game characters ever, and this is just a coincidence, right?

But seriously, this guy is pretty much screwed, I just don't how... Maybe he'll be lucky and just get his app removed?

What do you think?

What the hell is Mario? And a Yoshi?

@mxs102
They must be creations of his, he is such a genius!

If only I had an iPhone, I could experience this groundbreaking endeavor. A shoddy gambling experience sans the gambling, starring this soon to be gaming icon? I'd be all over that!

Cough

Plead insanity.

Steve Jobs says yes to THIS?

See, this wouldn't happen if you were working with Sprint or Verizon.

This passes quality check. Fart machines pass quality checks. Yet Apple ass-backwardsly REFUSE functionality like accessing the harddrive, or bluetooth object push apps, or video recording?

Oh, wait of course, they're going to charge you $699 for the privilege with the iPhone 3GS. How stupid of me.

You obviously don't live in Brazil , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectoy

Doomsday Forte

@Jon B: Baby shaking game also passes quality check...

I'm starting to think there isn't even a quality check. *sighs*

10/10 trouble unless they got this approved by nintendo somehow.

Xhumation

that's a pretty big copyright infringment righ there.

How ever Mario does look younger without the stache.

Zodiac Eclipse

Well I'm glad he went through the trouble of getting a copyright on the box. I'd hate for anyone to try to steal his original idea and market it as their own.

NihonTiger90

I could do a better job than what Apple's been doing. Seriously.

Crunshii
