Nintendo removes sombrero-wearing Mario from Super Mario Odyssey's cover

GN Version 5.0

This was the first box we saw for Super Mario Odyssey. Now it seems the box has been updated, and one particular Mario design has been removed.

People have noticed that the image of Mario wearing a sombrero has been removed. We didn't bring much attention to it, but there has been a bit of backlash from people who were offended by that particular Mario outfit. We don't know why Nintendo removed the image from the game's box, but perhaps it had something to do with those complaints.
