But naturally, some creators pushed things into sexual territory. As one user noted (translation via GamesRadar+): “There are already two different versions of Cook Kawasaki in a micro bikini.” While Chef Kawasaki is a beloved figure in the franchise, how someone imagines his off-duty wardrobe isn’t necessarily something we need to promote here.

This kind of thing isn’t unprecedented — the stage creator in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate produced a wide range of uploads, from inventive tributes to deliberately crude jokes. The community’s willingness to turn editors into a space for pranks and risqué humour was always likely to resurface.

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros. and Kirby, has suggested it’s better to enjoy games than to overanalyze their creators — a reminder not to read too deeply into community creations.
