The only character with any melanin seems to be Super Mario (get it? because he’s Italian? eh, probably not even from Southern Italy).
Having watched the recent Pokemon Presents, it seems that the next Smash Bros. game is just going to be white, white, and more white. But more than that, does Nintendo have any major BIPOC representation aside from Ganondorf? That chap seems to be the only Black and/or Arab guy around. And he’s the villain so that’s going to irk even more people.
Idk. Quite a pity that at best you’re getting Asian representation, not that that isn’t important or anything. Only the Pokemon games have any sort-of BIPOC representation.

Oh, to be fair, I have heard of it, and I can guess that it’s a “flight sim” of some sort.
Just never seen footage of it, not that I know of.
But yeah, I hear that it’s pretty popular or was back in the day; still sticks in the imagination.
The one, the only, the GOAT, Mike Tyson in “Mike Tyson’s Punch Out”
Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! Around the time the Gold Version was released for a NES Open Tournament Golf competition,[19] Nintendo of America’s founder and former president Minoru Arakawa attended a boxing match during the Heavyweight unification series that featured its future champion Mike Tyson. Arakawa became so astonished with the athlete’s “power and skill” that he was inspired to use his likeness and the tournament itself in the upcoming game.[20] Tyson was rumored to have been paid $50,000 for a three-year period for his likeness. This transaction was something of a risk for Nintendo, as it occurred before Tyson won the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight championship from Trevor Berbick on November 22, 1986, which greatly increased the profit for the game.[21] Nintendo re-released Punch-Out!! in Japan.
hrm then I’m pressed then, can’t think of any other representation off the top of my head.
Right?!
…Actually… Little Mac seems to be Latino.
Edit: No wait, I think it was said once that he’s supposed to be Italian.
Ugh…
Remember when “deleted by creator” sealed the Destiny Crystal and stopped the dark dragon Voidonix from unleashing the chaos rain? That was a great game
I think that saying that the monochrome character is black is at least not funny, if not racist. I hope that a Hexbear Moderator can think about that again?
