近來新冠肺炎變種病毒肆虐，國內追加第三劑，國外也有大學學院製作《瑪利歐賽車》迷因影片提倡疫苗重要性，不過慘遭網友吐槽太尷尬，甚至懇求任天堂出手下架。
美國約翰霍普金斯大學彭博公共衛生學院（Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health）近期在推特上傳《瑪利歐賽車》的影片，不過內容跟原版遊戲有些出入。
There's evidence that a booster dose reduces a person's likelihood of being infected with SARS-CoV-2.

That's super like Mario, but less likely doesn't mean impossible.
In general, boosters reduce symptom severity and duration, and reduce transmission: https://t.co/rF2sQBDdNM pic.twitter.com/x1ybm0bCXy
首先，在片頭可以看到瑪利歐參加明為「新冠盃」（COVID Cup）的賽事，剛起跑沒多久就遭到龜殼狙擊，只是龜殼的警告圖示改成新冠病毒的圖案。
在快要被病毒追上之際，車子駛過浮現「追加劑」（Booster）字樣的加速帶，隨後便化解病毒攻勢。
這樣的呈現手法，明顯是想透過電玩遊戲比較輕鬆的角度，來提醒大眾記得注射疫苗。
然而影片剪接還填充不少玩梗音效及配樂，結果引發反效果，讓不少網友滿頭問號，覺得很尷尬。留言區頓時出現許多吐槽梗圖，部分網友支持任天堂法務部出動，甚至有人開玩笑表示看完影片能理解為什麼會「反疫苗」。

I'd understand being anti-vax after seeing this Jesus Christ

當然，還是有鄉民評論相對溫和，贊同學院想要傳達的訊息，要大家盡快打疫苗，但仍不忘補充要素過多的呈現方式依舊顯得太過刻意。
please get your vaccine. get boosted if you haven't. i agree with the message but this is the most "how do you do fellow kids" thing i have EVER seen
