Super Mario. He's a hero, a fighter, a dancer, a dreamer, baker, doctor, athlete and plumber. He's one of the most popular video game characters of all time, spawning a movie, animated series, comics, pajamas and even porn. But with all the fame and attention, I feel like there's one part of Mario's life that nobody wants to address. I mean, I can't be the only one a little weirded out by Super Mario ... the furry.

That's right; one the most popular mascot character of all time is a furry. We've seen him dress up as a raccoon, bee, cat and takooni ... whatever that is. But of all the furry costumes Mario has donned, it's the frog suit that is the most questionable.

As you might imagine, this is primarily an underwater power-up. It allows Mario to swim around with ease, faster than ever before. But things get hairy when you try to take the frog suit on dry land. Suddenly our hero is reduced to short hops, severely limiting his jumps and speed. It's completely useless. But what I don't understand is how Mario is able to breathe underwater with the suit on. As creepy as some furries are, none of them end up with animal-like abilities by simply putting on a costume. That kind of fandom is reserved for BronyCon.
