About

U R MR GAY refers to a coincidental quirk in the lettering that appears in the title of Super Mario Galaxy. Certain letters in the title are adorned with sparkles. In order, these letters are U, R, M, R, G, A, and Y. Considering "U" and "R" to be abbreviations for "you" and "are," and splitting the letters into words appropriately, there appears to be a hidden message of telling the viewer, "You are Mr. Gay". The observation has become a widely referenced internet joke for decades since it was first discovered in

Origin


NeoGAF users first learned about the U R MR GAY message in a thread discussing video game "box art of the year". Discussion of this particular game's title continued in its own consecrated thread, titled "Super Mario Galaxy boxart says you're gay", on September 18,

Super Mario Galaxy says: U R MR GAY

Sept 17,

Eagle-eyed forum dwellers across the internet own discovered a hidden message/humorous design accident on the Super Mario Galaxy icon that spells out 'U R MR GAY'.

Acquire a gander at the left-hand picture below of Super Mario Galaxy's box art and look at the placement of the seven bright stars dotted on various letters of the game's logo. If you scribble out all the letters leaving only those decorated with a star - as we've done in the right-hand image - it leaves you with the letters 'URMRGAY'. Throw in some spaces and you've got U R MR GAY.

This is the compassionate of brilliantly unbelievable stuff that urban myths are made of and we are absolutely definitely using it in our next' things you didn't understand about videogames'feature. It's enjoy playing records backwards and hearing the words 'I'm Barney the purple dinosaur'.

This could, of course, merely be an guiltless by-product of perfect imaginative composition, but we'd opt for to think that it's an example of deliberate design in-joke japery never meant to be discovered that has been

Even though it's probably a coincidence I thought it would be worth mentioning here. Certain highlighted letters in the Mario Galaxy menu page can be interpreted as "U R MR GAY". I am reminded of many other instances in which Disney films were called scandalous because of scenes that depictwell scandalousness. I think all of it is just a reason for someone to whine though.

Yeah, its pretty much the same as the penis in The Little Mermaid, or the ghost caught on camera in Three Men and a Baby. Just gossip for the sake of gossip.

I played Super Mario Galaxy for the first time tonight, and it was awesome. I only have 6 stars. Can anyone here relate me if it gets better or worse from here on out?

Also, if you are wondering about the thread title.

It's consistently awesome right up until you're done a quarter of the game and you're able to beat the final boss and the end credits scroll. After that it becomes arguable.

Eh. I thought the drive to try out new places held my attention longer in the game. Yes, you are given access to the final boss pretty much a quarter a way thr
