Here we are again, with yet another Chinese company using Nintendo's characters without permission. This time it's Wahaha Vitamins, who are using both Mario and Yoshi on their labels. Mario certainly looks a bit different, but there's no doubt he was the starting point for the art. Yoshi's changes are...pretty laughable!
