One of the most surprising things in Super Mario Odyssey is arguably related to how Mario has clearly visible nipples in the game. Fans had all sorts of reactions to this aspect and immediately questioned why they couldn’t see Mario’s belly button as well. In an official developer talk from Nintendo, Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi addresses this particular issue. You can hear his comments via the video below:
Super Mario Odyssey Producer Yoshiaki Koizumi Addresses Why Mario Has Nipples But No Belly Button
I simply think he barely covers the bellybutton with the underwear.
I’m glad the important questions are being asked
What about Birdo’s gender? We still don’t have an answer to this day. lol
Reminder that Birdo had a vibrator in Captain Rainbow.
Captain what? Oh yeah, that one Japanese Wii game that never saw the light of day outside ever since.
That’s a great load off my mind, I can finally sleep easy again.
Riveting.
He was delivered by stork, he didn’t have a natural human birth.
That… is surprisingly clever. How has noone else considered this yet?
I was going to point that out. No pregnant mother, so no bellybutton.
That’s series is a different continuity, and I’m standing by that.
No it’s not. It’s an origin prequel to the canon Mario Bros. series (manly Bros. 4/World) explaining more of the Yoshi race and how they met the Mario Bros.
Is it?
So how does Donkey Kong and Punch-Out fit into this?
Odyssey? Remember, Donkey Kong and Mario had a history together and they started together with the arcade games before moving into the console market and departed ways with their separate series. But from time to time, they do clash or team up again like Mario vs. Donkey Kong so them paying a homage to DK arcade in Odyssey makes sense because it’s how it all began. Also, it explains more about where Mario/Pauline came from so that’s a bonus to which even Sonic himself couldn’t get right. As for Punch-Out, it’s just an idea for a Bowser boss fight. Look at Arms; it’s practically a successor to Punch-Out.
I’m done.
To each one’s one continuity.

If you ask me, his shorts are pulled over his belly button. I wish I had Mario’s body (but not his height). He’s always been known for being the fat one. Yet his body is better than mine. The benefit of being a cartoon character.
Where his nipples are there you would think his belly button was low enough his shorts cover it.
Either way the internet gets obsessed with strange things.
Why’d you make us sit through that?
I thought he just had an outtie, which could be flat and flesh toned, so it blends in. Either way, now we know the important truth!
