Nintendo Has Taken Down 101 Character Mario Kart Video

Remember that 101 Mario Kart video that was actually fairly impressive? Well, it seems as though Nintendo wasn’t too happy with the content so they have taken the video down. The video stared everyone from Rayman to Earthworm Jim racing around in their karts and causing absolute mayhem. If you try to access the video now then you’ll have noticed it has been blocked on copyright grounds. It’s clearly a shame.

    1. Because copyright, stupid! Also they don’t own the rights to Spyro the Dragon or Ghost from Call of Duty? XD So…. STFU or GTFO? LMFAO!

      Are you idiots really not surprised? If Nintendo wasn’t gonna do it? Other companies like EA or Activision will.

      Like I understand why they takedown the The Legend of Zelda: 3D remake. But this? LOL Why defend this shit now? ;/

    1. You are aware that the copyright laws in japan ARE COMPLETELY different to Australia, or America. THEY DON’T HAVE FAIR USE. If someone is using their copyrighted material AT ALL than they have the complete right to take it down. I understand it’s shitty but please don’t be ignorant.

      1. Which is funny because most other japanese companys such as sony don’t do half this shit seriously i’ll defend nintendo on a lot of things but they are massive copyright nazi’s especially atm, they have nothing to gain by it and are shooting themselves in the foot with the lets play community.

    1. Really now? Are you really gonna defend this shit? I don’t remember them ever owning the rights to Spyro the Dragon or whatever? And had Nintendo not done what they did? Other third party companies would do much worse than a simple copyright claim? They would take the video maker to count. Would the real reason why they did this was cause third party dev told them that if the wasn’t taken down than they would take the user to count and blacklist him from ever making games ever again? And spend a millions in likely damages? -_-

      1. …..the fuck are you talking about, konami is the worst of the worst when it comes to this stuff and they’ve barely if ever took down vids with more then then a copyright claim. bringing them to court? are you serious and a million in damages. Maybe i’m misinterpriting your comment but are you seriously implying that the only reason nintendo who are known to be draconic to the point of sillyness with their i.p’s only took this down because a third party asked them to as it was damaging them, a video of a silly mod for an ancient game…

        1. It’s a YouTube video. It’s not like he’s making the game or asking people to make money off of it? :/ I wanted to ask in reply to your comment since you believe that everything revolves around Nintendo?

          You don’t work for games industry? I hear horror stories about what goes down in that workplace behind the scenes.

          Some never even made a story about them until years later. And some ended up dead because they were a people who are against this type of mindset.

          All companies. No matter if they are good or not? Will take down a video and do much worse than what Nintendo did right now.

          You only got mad cause you don’t know the full story from their point of view.

          I can not say how I know this junk. But let’s just say that thank God I don’t work for a big company like that or I will be on a missing persons report after 12 years and junk.

          :/

    1. When you try to access the video, it says, “This video contains content from Nintendo, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”

      1. Really now? -_- They don’t own the rights to third party IP man? Someone bigger then them would have blacklisted the user on YouTube and he would pay a fine of over 50 million dollars? It isn’t about getting through the times? It’s about not going into foreclosure, you idiot! XD

        Plus have you ever made a fan animation or a video game that doesn’t have any copyrighted claims or IP’s from third part or first?

        Nope!

        This is why I hate my generation. -_-

        1. lol I like how this dumbass assumes I’m a part of his generation without knowing jackshit about me. Judging from that stupid rant of yours, I would be glad I’m not too.
          By that logic, people who are making mods should be sued and jailed. Actually people like TeamFourStar should also be sued too (assuming you know who they are).

          1. https://youtu.be/5rpAK3Y8DK8

            ;) I grew up in 1993. You most likely grew up in 2001 or late in the 80s? :D

            I said you are part of my generation since that must mean that you know who Nintendo is? lol

            Plus I grew up the DBZ dun on Toonami and T4S made this Abridged series way better than it should.

            Also comparing Mods to TeamFourStar? ;)

            I like your stupid trolling already. lol

            Let’s be friends and fight each other just like in DBZ?

            XD

            Later little brother? My little dumbass? :D Yay!

            1. What the hell XD I’m not even sure how to reply to that last part lol. I won’t confirm or deny where I grew, but I can confirm my knowledge of Nintendo.

              You don’t see the similarities between TFS and modding? Here’s a hint: They both use copyrighted material, just different methods of it. TFS transforms the original DBZ series into their own thing, while modders create or modify software for a game that isn’t theirs.

          1. I just did….. After 11 hours? ;) Man you must have a bad day after makeup sex? XD JK? But get some rest since I just like to both speak the truth and piss off people as clueless as you. Plus it’s not like I post much worse crap online. Not that I can’t help myself? But seeing comments like these. Makes me wish what some of you users do outside the internet?

            It can’t be good for your hearth just to bitch about Nintendo?

            I have my first Wii U? But DAMN! You take what Nintendo way too seriously.

            And a question mark too?

            Meh?

            It’s a free country and don’t let your angry get to you.

            It should didn’t work on me when I read your comment.

            Just…….. Sleep for another 11 hours? :/

  1. You are aware that the copyright laws in japan ARE COMPLETELY different to Australia, or America. THEY DON’T HAVE FAIR USE. If someone is using their copyrighted material AT ALL than they have the complete right to take it down. I understand it’s shitty but please don’t be ignorant.

    p.s. how do you know it was nintendo? it could have been Sega, or Ubisoft etc.

  2. You never know what’s gonna get taken down, or else I would’ve downloaded it before those Nin-bastards had the chance. The “nin” in their name must also be short for “ninjas”, copyright ninjas.

    Another article for Lost Media Wiki. #WTFU

  3. Nintendo seriously needs to lighten up.
    They make great games and moderate/high quality products, but this whole “Don’t taint our beloved IPs” attitude needs to drop.
    This is just simply a display of creativity from a fan. Nothing more, nothing less.
    This has no negative impact on you Nintendo, so there’s no reason to feel threatened over stuff like this.
    Calm your tits.

      1. Ooooooh, wait. I see what you mean now.
        You think I was saying F them?
        That wasn’t what I was trying to say.
        Calm your tits is basically a way of saying “Take a chill pill”.
        The reason I said that was because Nintendo has been taking needlessly aggressive actions toward fan-made material as if it’s putting the company out of business.
        I don’t flame, insult or curse at anyone. That’s not how I was raised.

        I may display disagreement from time to time, but I am never in any form trying to be rude or slanderous with my opinions.

      1. Let’s just agree to disagree.
        You think it’s wrong.
        I don’t.
        It’s early in the morning over here and I have no intention of getting into a war over an article with my “opinion” on it. Good day to you, sir! *salutes*

  4. Nintendo is actively making itself into a blemish on the gaming industry. The company is lead by arrogant pricks that don’t follow with the times, and won’t take risks anymore while predatoring on youtube videos ever since they became a partner. Have this big middle finger as a “FUCK YOU!” Nintendo. Get fucking gewd.

    1. I wouldn’t go so far as to flipping the bird, but I do agree they have been making some very unnecessary and reckless decisions towards their fans and whatnot.
      Like I said earlier, they just need to loosen up over stuff like this. They’re acting as if the company is at stake no matter how minor the situation is.
      Plus, this game is 20+ years old.

  5. The creative license taken here put this video somewhat loosely in the satire/homage category for me. I can’t see the justification for removing it, honestly.

  6. I guess they didn’t like the GTA stuff being used. Remove that stick up your ass, Nintendo. Learn the meaning of the word humor, comedy, spoof. This is as bad as religious extremists whining about their religion getting made fun of as if it’s beyond ridicule. I bet even God facepalms at how humorless some human beings are.
