Except it is literally not their work. It is Nintendo's design and IP. That is the whole point.
And Dreams isn't free. A major selling point is playing the creation the players create. And players are creating designs based on Nintendo's IP. Nintendo is legally correct on this one. The courts don't care what random people on the internet think/feel. There is a reason Sony is assisting Nintendo on this.
Do I personally think Nintendo overreacts? Sure. But they are within their legal right. I was excited about the fan remake of Chrono Trigger, but Square shut it down. Square wasn't wrong to do so, it is their IP.
And the idea of IP expiring after 10 years is still crazy to me, not directly aimed at you btw, but a general comment. So I can start a soft drink company and brand it Coke or Pepsi? Lol, yeah giant **** no.

The key thing is the word Mario. If they want to make a mario style game on dreams then they shouldn't have used assets that relates to Mario in any shape or form. Why not just make new characters?
That's like if ubisoft made a Mario Rabbids game without Nintendo permission.

And i also do not think it should be aplauded when people make uncreative copys of a brand,is that fanmade or is it just made to gain the most popularity it can at the expense of the brand?
Questionable behaviour i do think.

So if I draw the Mona Lisa, because my attempt wasn't perfect or original the fact that it was fan-made should be frowned upon? I would think it should only be frowned upon the second try and sell it or monetize it.

OK, I am still not following this...
Let's take for instance you buy a Cintiq tablet, that has a user share function. So you can draw whatever you want on ts tablet and share it with everyone that has a Cintiq tablet. You are not getting paid for what you have drawn or shared. Cintiq just made you something that you could just draw whatever you want and share it within the community.
What you guys are saying, is that if I decide to draw a link character and share it, Nintendo would have a problem with me?

To play those Mario levels on dreams you need to buy A PS4 and Dreams. Those Mario levels can be seen as a promoting the game so people can buy a PS4 and Dreams to play Mario levels. Quality is not a criteria here.
Other companies may not have a problem with this. But Nintendo has the RIGHTS to remove those fan made games.
