NeoGAFfer Chittagong found this bag of pasta in a Citymarket in Finland. The package is sending a very clear message, and that message is "It's-a not quite me, Maaaario!"
Apparently when Mario and Luigi took off on their Mushroom Kingdom adventure, Mario's less-famous identical brother Marco stuck around and devoted his time to making delicious dried pastas. Either that or some unscrupulous company has shamelessly ripped off Mario's likeness. We'll leave it up to you to determine which is more likely-- that this is the work of an unknown relative of a fictional character or of real-world jerks.
Hey, maybe Marco will show up in Good Smash Friends Battle for the Nintenco Wuu!

Obviously it's for the Nintendü Wü. Not to be confused with Nintendü 64 the home planet of Emperor Wer.

Sure, it looks suspiciously similar in certain aspects, but can there really be all that much variation when it comes to stereotypes?
