Turns Out Mario Kart Had A Secret Swear In It You Never Noticed

Mario Kart 64 is the greatest party game ever made.

Goldeneye was a bit gory. Mario Party seemed specifically designed to skin your palms. Mario Kart was the perfect mix of childish and violent AF. Seriously, one of the weapons was a tracking bomb!

This year, Nintendo released Mario Kart 8, an all-new game for an all-new console - the Nintendo Switch - a perfect game for kids and aging gamers alike. But, it seems, Nintendo may have made their game a little TOO adult...

Did Nintendo slip an "up yours" pose into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or is it a reference to "We Can Do It!"? pic.twitter.com/oOrmL29dOs

YEP! Nintendo included a bras d'honneur as one of Inkling Girl's gestures, which roughly translates as "up yours!"

Obviously, this little faux pas didn't go unnoticed...

This is the original, would appreciate if someone can check the game for me. (Busy atm) pic.twitter.com/wtSunvWCBN

Nintendo has now added a patch to remove the raunchy arm raise, but the damage has already been done.

Can't wait for our nieces and nephews to start telling us to go fuck ourselves with an adorable Italian salute!
