To him, Princess Peach suddenly stopped being the woman he loves and became a prize to be won, a trophy with which he resorted to flowers to triumph over a rival and win her heart. Mario, for as much as we love him, was frankly being a bit of a pain in this cutscene.
However, turning down Mario in the same manner that she turns down Bowser in this ending is an entirely appropriate action for her to take here. (Mega Man Volnutt surely hasn’t for the past two decades) However, I’m sure she knew if anyone could find their way off the Moon, it would be Mario. I mean, that’s taking her whole rejection of him a bit too far since it’s likely he’d suffocate, freeze, and eventually die there. Now, in their defense (of which I offer begrudgingly and most minimal of manners), it was pretty lame of Princess Peach to steal Mario’s ride and strand him on the Moon. No doubt, you’ll find a NeoGAF or a Reddit post about this very ending somewhere, overloaded with guys who can’t understand why Peach would reject the stoic Mario in such a cold, heartless fashion.
This romantic slight has proven to be too much for some gamers to take, and seeing Mario get cut down by the woman he loves is one stroke too far those who raise the flag of SJWs intervening in game development. Nevermind that Princess Peach hits the road for her own adventure after the events of the story and even helps Mario out by supplying him with Power Moons when they bump into one another. “Peach is more than happy to call to him for help when she needs him, but the second she is safe, it’s back to the friend zone for Mario.” Naturally, Nintendo is being called out by this group for succumbing to the rising influence of feminism in video games, and others are calling it a cheap message that doesn’t carry throughout the whole game. Mario bends over backwards to save her, and she only uses him for security.” “Thirty years and she still hasn’t put out.” They feel sorry for the pudgy, working-class hero, and they feel enraged that this beautiful woman publically scorned and rejected him despite overcoming dragons and lava octopuses to rescue her from forced marriage and enslavement. Once again, a faction of entitled male gamers is upset with how Mario is being treated by Princess Peach in this scene. Now, it’s quite obvious where the controversy is arising from here.
