I really have no care what Nintendo does with their IP. They're within their right to protect the use of their IP. Getting angry about it literally does nothing and only makes those complaining about it look childish. The creator of Mario Royale handled it better and more professionally than those who played it originally.
I mean if what Nintendo was doing was legally wrong and Super Mario was a part of the public domain then yeah I'd be pissed, but it isn't. I just watched a Did You Know Gaming about Koji Kondo. In the video it was explained that Kondo wanted to use pre-existing music for Zelda's iconic theme but because it wasn't a part of the public domain, he couldn't use it. So what did he do? He made his own theme and it became hugely popular. He could have been sour about it but instead he took an unfortunate situation and made the best out of it. Much like the developer of Mario Royale did...
TLDR: Oh well.
