Super Chick Sisters!!!

For those of you who haven't heard yet, I'm a new dad! And I've been giving out these cigars all over the office for the past few of days to celebrate. Granted, I'm celebrating the birth of an amazing new internet marketing campaign, not a baby, but hey, my work is all I’ve got . . . so just humor me, OK?
You see, I've been working on this Super Chick Sisters game (for those that haven't been a teenager at any point in the last 23 years or so, it is a parody of, like, probably the most popular video game in human history, Super Mario Brothers) for what seems like the better part of my adult life. And to be honest, the process has been a lot like what I imagine having a baby must be like, minus the super fun part at the beginning and the gross part at the end though. But now that all the work is done and the game is out there, I gotta say, I'm a damn proud Papa.
Don't get me wrong, there are a ton of people to thank for this little bundle of joy, not the least of which is Karen, who spent God only knows how many hours making changes based on my latest whims. And dear dear Paula, who bless her sweet little lawyerly heart, actually thought that a koopa was a contagious disease when the game's concept was first thrown her way.
My excitement comes not just for finishing the game—but because it's already been extremely successful! It's gotten great pick up on super popular blogs and gaming sites. All in all over 100,000 folks have been to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com in the past couple days to play the game (and learn about how chickens killed for KFC are crueltly treated)! Best of all it's received over 1k diggs on digg.com, driving massive traffic to the game. So play the game, and if you enjoy it give it a digg yourself, or at least tell everyone you know to go play it.
And one more thing. I'm not giving up the cheat codes, no way.

Even if I'm advanced in age this game is fascinating me! My compliments to Jack! And I gave it a digg myself and what did I find: Again a whole collection of hateful remarks! This is actually an interesting phenomenon: Lower people of lower intelligence and of course no degrees hating PETA and the animals and they are as cold as ice about the cruelty-factor! And when I go to the Honorary Committees of the Humane Society, Actors and Others, Farmsanctuary, Lint Roller Party, IDAUSA, LCA and of course PETA I see hundreds of first-class celebrities supporting justice and animal rights! Strange isn't it! I have to memorize this very soon in my coming book!

I adore the game. My highest score was like... 174950 I think. I haven't been able to beat it when I'm playing as Pam, because when she gets all big she doesn't fit anywhere... Stupid growth hormones... Anyway, I think I'll go try to win as Pam after I finish reading all the updates on the site. Great job on the game, everybody!

I love this game, great animation and re-design. There at the end it felt distinctively Hedgehogy, but I liked Sonic better anyway, he has a very AR feel to him.

Congrats on the baby!

Holy crap, enjoy your eventual copyright infringement lawsuit!

To Josh; how can he get sued? He isn't selling the game.

Hailey,
Regardless of whether it's being sold or not, the game uses Nintendo's intellectual property (mario, luigi, yoshi, etc.) They're basically the public faces of Nintendo, and their usage in this game presents the idea that Nintendo has an actual stance on the subject of animal cruelty. It's essentially putting words in Nintendo's mouth, and I imagine they won't take very kindly to it.
I have no idea whether or not this has even been cleared with Nintendo, but given the total lack of any acknowledgment of trademark that I can see, I'd imagine not.
In my opinion it's honorable to try to bring this kind of animal cruelty to light, but using legally questionable methods of doing it is straight up retarded and really dilutes your message.

You can get sued for copyright infringement even if you don't make any money off of it. The same goes for trademark infringement. My opinion is that this game infringes on both.
A possible defence would be to claim this entire game is a parody of Nintendo's copyrighted materials.

Wow PETA sucks. The message is flawed, throwing tomatoes at fur wearers, exposing companies, "Milk makes you break out in zits"? That's not right...
I don't care if chickens are being slaughtered because they are tasty.

please tell me the code for Pamela Andasen.

It seems like people have found the cheat codes.. I have been seing a lot of really high new scores. Also it seems peta has been removing a lot of scores from the list. The other day i saw "Gizmo" taking up every high score and now the scores have changed back. What is going on????
Posted by: Alan | September 10, 2007 02:32 PM
Legally questionable methods? You got that right - I believe thats pretty much for par for the course for PETA.
Posted by: Jim | September 13, 2007 10:11 AM
people, who cares if it's legal for PETA to make this game? for all you know, they might've gotten permission. I mean really, MYOB! If Nintendo minds, then they'll tell PETA!

Enjoy your lawsuits, or at the very least, enjoy your cease and desist notices.

OMG THIS CRUEL VALUE MEAL IS DE-LISH!!!

Why did they have to make Mario look like an ass for? and another thing, Mario and Yoshi are friends. Yoshi is not and will never be Mario's slave.

Ever seen that episode of South Park where PETA gets shot by Puff Daddy? Yeah, I'm hoping for the day that becomes a reality now that I've seen this piece of crap.

i luv this game

Ugh, you killed mario.
1. Koopas are humanoid, not animals. If mario touches a koopa (suppose he's trying to shake his hand) he gets hurt
2. Yoshi is mario's friend. Mario saved yoshi in super mario world. First level.

This is wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. You broke too many hearts of the gamers. Mario is a good guy. Not an ass. He is a friend of yoshi, and koopas dont exist. What hell have you been smoking? Great Job for ruining the most loved mascot of nintendo.

THIS GAME IS A DISGRACE, NINTENDO BETTER SUE FOR THIS GAME EVER BEING MADE

"first-class celebrities supporting justice and animal rights! Strange isn't it! I have to memorize this very soon in my coming book!"
Yes, because we all know that all "first-class celebrities" have their heads on straight.
I have a suggestion. Go onto to Google and search "Tom Cruise Scientology". You'll see just how sane all celebrities are.

good game, BUT HOW DARE YOU INSULT MARIO AND CHICKEN SELLERS! really, the chicken NORMAL people eat are actually fed well and live sufficient lives before being slaughtered.

how do you get past the big robot colonial sanders who picks you up and drops you in oil?
Posted by: bayley | April 18, 2008 10:20 PM
This is just sad. PETA is one of the lowest organizations that is "accepted" in the USA and disrespects mankind.
Also, expect Nintendo and KFC to be really angry. This isn't just a silly little parody. It's a game that rips off Mario to brainwash kids into thinking KFC is a more pure of evil than Satan.

Funny how this game is pro-animal, yet the main character's name is Nugget.
