Mario Swears in PAL version of Party 8
atheistium \| 2:37 PM on 07.13.2007	25 comments

So today Mario Party 8 was released in the UK. I sold about 30 copies before my boss asked me to remove the games from shelves. Apparently there is a swear word in the British release of the game. I don't know the word up, screens and the word are appreciated.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

"Hey Peach, itsa-me! Mario! I want to a-fuck you bitch! Woo-hoo!"

It was probably the word spaz or something like that.

I knew you brits would be too flighty about Mario and Luigi calling each other greasers, dagos, and guineas.

So much for being enlightened UK.

Sheesh.

And then there's the awkward portion where Princess Peach calls Toad her little tar-baby. That's probably not the wisest thing, but Peach is who she is. Racist past and everything.

Maybe they talk about ass to mouth in a cutscene.

Oh, and grab a copy or two if you can, maybe they'll be worth something to collectors one day.

Here is the pic of the offending text. Apparently this is the same reason that DS brain game was pulled a while back.

Spastic?

I can see why that was a problem.

It's only recently that people started getting offended by it and depending on who did the translation, they might not have known that.

Still, it's hardly a big deal.

I wouldn't have made a fuss about it anyway.

Though if you buy Mario Party 8 i thik you deserve to see that.

Wwell it's like that black eyed peas song "Let's get retarded", the lyrics were changed to "Let's get it started" for the video.
BEP SUK

Mario is quoted saying 'Hey Spider. Hey Spider! That bandage on your foot is bigger than your fuckin' head!'

Wait, it ACTUALLY was spastic? Damn, I'm psychic or something.
I kinda wish it was Mario talking about rape. We need him to stir things up.

ah ok per Moo's reference spastic in the UK is like the equivalent of "Retard" in the States.....at least in terms of its "non-PC-ness"

I can see Mario running around after a 'who can eat the most 'shrooms' mini-game and running up to Peach and Daisy..."Ladies whos's gonna go down on this meat pipe to get to the next level?!?!?" That or "Come on Toad, your telling me you never wanted to fuck Daisy man? What are ya? A Fag?"
