  • Over the last year, Super Mario has been mixed up in a bizarre scam involving fake ads and strange mobile games. Today, I want to finally uncover the truth!

    Believe it or not, Falcon Game Studio stole several Level Up videos, at some point, we ( Team Level Up ) found the UA-cam channel with all the ads, but I think they are deleted by now

    It wasn't uncommon in the Asian markets with those NES clone systems in the 90's to have cartridges with multiple games with misleading titles and hacked and modded ROMs.
    I remember first playing "Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu," for the NES as a "Mario" game.
    And also the "Kid Niki 3" modded game was labelled as "Stick Mario," and in both instances, the original characters were replaced in-game by Mario sprites/models.
    So to this day, I'm pretty sure there are some who believe that those were Mario game they had played in their childhood.

    It's funny how some people assume getting viruses upon clicking on a youtube ad. I don't think youtube would host ads that led to a virus and neither would Google playstore as that could obviously culminate in them getting sued over it by victims of such a scam.
    So what remains is stolen material which definitely should be pursued much more eagerly and aggressive, especially now that it has become weirdly common for mobile game ads to show entirely different game footage from what the game actually offers. So remember kids: If Nintendo made a new mobile game you can expect the Nintendo logo to be shown and a much more compelling and professional trailer. Also, a youtube ad would probably not be the first source for you to learn about a Nintendo mobile game. I'd generally suggest to not use your phone as a gaming device -it sucks.
