<p>Earlier this week, we found out about a free-to-play fan-made ‘Mario Royale’ online game, allowing roughly 75 players to jump into a single level at the same time and race to the flagpole.</p>
<p>Obviously, we’ve seen Nintendo take swift action against projects that ‘borrow’ assets and code in the past, and sure enough, the creator of this Mario-themed battle royale creation has now received a takedown message from the video game giant.</p>
<p>In response to this, Mario has been swapped out for a custom-made avatar and some <em>slight</em> adjustments have been made to the existing enemies, power-ups, backgrounds and environmental objects on display. The trademark Mario Bros. sound effects are also reportedly gone and the game is now appropriately-named DMCA Royale.</p>
<p>According to Gaming Reinvented, the game still looks a little too similar to the source material and unsurprisingly has the same “level design and basic mechanics” as it. For more information about this fan-made battle royale, read our <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/fan_makes_free-to-play_super_mario_battle_royale_and_its_surprisingly_great">existing article</a>.</p>
<p><em>Are you at all surprised to hear Nintendo has taken action against this Super Mario Battle Royale? Did you play this when it was still a Mario-themed game? Tell us below.</em></p>
