With that rumoured 'granting kids to hell' thing?
Because while quite a few sites online do talk about it for various reasons:
http://www.mariowiki.com/Controversies#Satanism
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/WarioWare
http://www.gamesradar.com/gamings-hidden-messages/
I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone outside a couple of gaming sites ever mention it or talk about it causing any 'hysteria'. Seriously, has anyone actually seen any real world mentions of this song or 'hidden message'? Any crazy religious pastors decrying the downfall of civilisation and blaming it on gothic characters in Wario games? Anything like the (arguably equally exaggerated) War of the Worlds radio drama panic?
Or is this whole thing just a piece of strange trivia which somehow got blown well out of proportion by a couple of forum posters?
