Older domestic players should still remember the "shaking buns" of the arcade era "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to extend the life of the machine, many machine halls explicitly order "no shaking buns". Unexpectedly, this scene once happened in the United States, a small game in the N64 console "Mario Party 64", which may cause injuries to the hands of children who shake the bun, and Nintendo was once accused. Now this classic mini-game is back as one of the 100 mini-games for the upcoming Mario Party Superstar. Of course, comes with a striking official tip: "Please operate the joystick with your thumb and forefinger instead of the palm of your hand to avoid injury". ‘
’
The mini-game is called "Tug o' War" (Tug of War), in which players pull ropes on both sides of the canyon, with one person wearing Kuba's clothes on one side and the other 3 showing a standard image on the other side. The winning side wins the game, and the losing side falls into the mouth of the man-eating plant.
The game's use of a joystick was a problem in itself, but when the N64 version was released at the time, smart players quickly discovered that controlling the joystick with the palm of their hand instead of their fingers was an easier way to win. Tug o'War, along with another mini-game, Pedal Power, was complained by American parents who believed that the strong joystick operation could injure a child's hand. The New York Attorney General's Office then used the information to formally sue Nintendo for the game.
In response, Nintendo offered a special batch of fingerless gloves, four pairs, to users in the United States who bought the game, providing palm protection. In addition, adding the wrong way of doing it at the bottom of the game may bring warnings of injury.
And in the latest leaked Mario Party Superstar game video, we see these warnings again.
Of course, the above warnings may only be effective for people who love machines, and for those who shake buns, winning is the most important.
