Shirt given out to Nintendo of America employees involved in 2001 manufacturing operations. While the screaming Luigi is referencing Luigi's Mansion being released that year, the logo inadvertently makes it look like 2001 manufacturing operations was a harrowing or frightening experience.

One of the most blatant lies in a Mario-related game is "Tetris Attack inspired by original Tetris." In fact, Henk Rogers, the founder of the Tetris Company, literally regrets giving Nintendo the right to use the name "Tetris" because Tetris Attack has nothing to do with it.

In the ending to Tetris Attack, Yoshi walks along a rainbow while this text appears: TETRIS ATTACK INSPIRED BY ORIGINAL TETRIS Fact 1: Tetris Attack is a reskin of Panel de Pon, a game that has nothing to do with Tetris. Panel de Pon: swapping adjacent rising blocks to make lines of 3 to 5 blocks of the same color Tetris: steering and rotating falling blocks, the color of which is irrelevant, into full horizontal rows The only commonality between the two is that they both use blocks. Fact 2: Henk Rogers, founder of the Tetris Company, literally regrets giving Nintendo the rights to use "Tetris" for Tetris Attack because the game has nothing to do with Tetris. "When Nintendo came to us, and said 'we would like to take this Japanese game called Panel de Pon, and rename it Tetris Attack', I'm saying, 'it's not Tetris'. But my partner's saying 'but it is money!' So, uhhhh, so, we, I, reluctantly agreed. In retrospect, we should never have done that. I don't think that's a good idea. It dilutes the brand, it's like naming another cartoon character Mickey Mouse just cause you need the money. It's just a bad idea. So I wouldn't do that again." -Henk Rogers, 2009 interview with Destructoid Source: vgmuseum.com/end/snes/a/tetrisattack.htm, destructoid.com/interview-with-alexey-pajitnov-and-henk-rogers-on-tetris/
