Catholic hell in New Super Mario Bros.?

What? I must've missed that bit.

It's a pit of lava with a big creature with two horns, hello?

Bowser? Isn't he some kind of turtle? Does the catholic church condemn turtles now, too?

Why the horns then? It's obviously a portrait of the devil.

Haven't you ever heard of horned turtles?

In case you're not joking:

Horns on a figure are a symbol of masculine power in Christian and Jewish imagery. Satan has never been depicted as having horns in actual Biblical literature.

The Biblical figure you'd see most often with horns in art is actually Moses.

To continue with my Poke-meltdown, Lance in Heart Gold/Soul Silver is the devil, tormentor of all who think they have a chance, that they have hope, that their insignificant lives have any sort of meaning outside of futility and despair
