The Super Mario series of video games is deeply fetishistic. Like, after the third time seeing Princess Peach getting kidnapped by Bowser (what, like a week after they all went Go-Karting together?) and you start to realize something fishy is going on.
I guess what I'm saying is, the driving force of every major event in the Mario universe is the elaborate foreplay of a throuple made up of a princess, a turtle, and a plumber.
I mean look at this wiki article. It's the definition of the lady doth protest too much.
