List of unofficial Mario media
Unlicensed developers and fans have created unofficial media relating to the Mario franchise. Such media include video games, ROM hacks, level editors, live action adaptations, and animations.
Due in-part to the franchise's popularity, some of these unlicensed works have received critical attention. In September 2016, Nintendo issued over 500 DMCA takedown requests for various fan games hosted at Game Jolt based on their intellectual properties. All of these games have been taken down. While some of these pieces of media have been deemed to fall under fair use, many have not, with the specifics of rulings often depending on the country in which the notice for copyright infringement was given.
Several unofficial, and unlicensed, Mario games and game mods have been released for various video game consoles.
There exist several unofficial level editors created to allow users with no programming skills to easily make their own levels or ROM hacks.
Unofficial Mario games playable on computers have consisted mostly of browser-based games. Such games either can be parodies or fangames that feature the franchise's characters or settings reimagined within the style of other media, or vice-versa.
In the late 2000s, YouTube poop meme videos arose using footage from various Mario-related sources, including the Philips CD-i game Hotel Mario, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, and Super Mario World.
After the release of Mario Kart 8 in 2014, a short clip featuring "Luigi's Death Stare" went viral; the original clip featured Luigi passing other drivers with an uncharacteristically angry facial pose set to the music of Chamillionaire's 2006 hit song Ridin'. The meme was referenced by Nintendo itself during their E3 2014 presentation. It was also referenced by Huey in Paper Mario: Color Splash.
Several Mario characters have become prominent memes, such as Waluigi, who has garnered an online fanbase as a meme to the point of outcry to be added to the fighting game series Super Smash Bros. as well as backlash for his lack of inclusion in the series.
