Mario Dies on March 31st - Mario moments before his public execution

If I had a nickle for every time artists compared Mario's "death" to One Piece's iconic namesake moment, I would have 2 nickles. Which is not a lot, but it is weirdthat it happened twice, right..?

Coins, OneUps, PowerUps. A man who acquired everything in this world, the Franchise-King, Mario. His final words at his execution sent people to the Mushroom wastes.

"My Wealth and treasures? If you want it, you can have it! Search for it! I left it all at that place!"
