Mary Machine Classic looks so very familiar photo

What you see above is an image for the "funny" iPhone gambling game Mary Machine Classic. Not sure what's so funny about it, but the inevitable lawsuit that's going to result from this game could be worthy of a laugh or two. Quite how the creator of this App thinks he's going to get away with taking Mario's mustache off and sticking him in a yellow shirt, I do not know. You have to admire his balls, if not his brains.

The best part is that the gameplay itself isn't even original, being based upon a famous gambling machine known as Small Mary. That's double the derivativeness, which has to be worth some sort of prize for the sheer gall. I hear that if you win the game, you get a code for the follow up sequel, Bonic the Bedgebog.

If the fucking moron didn't copy and paste the Koopa, I BET you he could have gotten away with the Caucasian Mario.

I hope Bonic the Bedgebog is way better than the crap-fest that is modern day Sonic the Hedgehog.

I'm just not seeing the resemblance here, is it the guy on the left, or the right that's supposed to look like a Mario? the one on the left seems pretty candid, if he was holding a sword it'd be easier to tell though.

Mario without his mustache is really creepy.

Is it sad that I'm a die-hard Mario fan and didn't notice that was Yoshi's head?

Ha ha!
I've always wondered what Mario would like minus his mustache.
Whoever did this needs to get a clue...

Something tells me this is just different enough that Nintendo's lawyers won't be able to do anything. I really wouldn't know though... Can we get Harrasment Panda in here?

I guess in a country with more than 1 billion people there statistically has to be someone stupid enough to think they can rip off the most recognisable non-Disney animated character.

Is it strange that Mario's fingers scare me more than his mustacheless face?

Iwata's money pit just got more full. And God knows if they'll try and drag Apple into this for letting the damn thing go up and trying to make money off it.

Sweet Mother of Mothra! I didn't think it would get that many attention!

I didn't think those Mary machines existed, I just thought he made that up to use a name that's similar to Mario!
