'While we wait for Nintendo to offer better parental controls, I am taking my child's switch offline and I encourage others to do so with me,' ewasion added. This is obviously intentional, and made to upset children.'Įwasion uploaded a couple of censored images as evidence of the event. 'There are multiple of these balloons all being made by the same user. 'The picture was changed several times over the course of my time patrolling, each picture being pornographic content,' ewasion said. Under normal circumstances, avatars are images of Nintendo characters and Miis. The balloons display the online avatar of the player who hid them.
It looks like this issue is limited to Super Mario Odyssey's Luigi's Balloon World mode, an online only mini-game that involves hunting balloons other players have hidden.
The images were on in-game balloons, which are normally used to display player avatars. Redditor ewasion took to r/NintendoSwitch to say they'd spotted two pornographic images while playing Super Mario Odyssey. Hackers are reportedly inserting porn into Super Mario Odyssey via balloons.
