New footage of Nintendo’s Mario and Luigi assaulting a cab driver has sent shockwaves through the Mushroom Kingdom.
Or, to be more accurate (if I must ), a pair of scumbags dressed as the Nintendo duo beat up and robbed cash from a 48-year-old taxi driver after an altercation inside the cab. For once, a link between videogames and violent crime that can be proven .
The incident occurred on Hallowe’en night at the Great Kills, NY gas station, and police are now keeping an eye out for the criminals, who escaped on a pair of strategically parked Yoshis.
A third man dressed in a tuxedo is also wanted, though he rather spoils the whole Mario/Luigi angle. So let’s ignore him.
