Mermen to the rescue

Im playing Mother three and Im starting to understand why this game was never released outside Japan. In the game Im taking a walk on the sea bed and to not drown I have to use these oxygen refilling machines.

All this makes sense in the world of video games but what youre not used to is the machines looking like male mermaids. These "mermen" then use their large lipstick covered lips to fill your lungs with fresh oxygen. After the refill/makeout session your characters leave blushing with a guilty look on their face.

This is just one of the odd homoerotic element in mother 3. Nintendo being such a conservative company I can understand them not releasing this game in the west. Even if they did put Cho aniki for the Virtual Console.
