Video game maker Nintendo has announced it has changed the Japanese name of Spike, the foreman who appears in "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," in advance of the film's release in Japan later this month.
Nintendo did not immediately provide a reason for the decision to change the name, which could be read as a racist slur, saying only that the new Japanese name will be the same as the name used in Europe and the United States. CNN has reached out to the video game giant, which is also responsible for other hits such as Pokemon and Animal Crossing, for comment.
The movie, which made more than US$200 million in the US and Canada for its five-day opening run, according to a news release, and an estimated $377 million worldwide, stars Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi and Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach.
