【Culture Shock】MARIO IS BROKE! (Super Mario Odyssey) (2017x25)

Air date: Jun 08, 2017

SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY looks amazing, but there's something missing from all the game trailers: COINS! This is wild considering that coins are everywhere in Mario Games. In fact coins are so plentiful, they've gotta be nearly worthless by now! Interestingly, this carries a lot of precedence in Japanese history. In this episode, GG shows how coin inflation in Mario's universe mirrors an identical problem in Japan's history!
