2. Princess Peach Getting Naked - Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Nintendo have a reputation for being exceptionally protective of how their properties are depicted. However, that wasn't the case with Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

While Princess Peach is imprisoned in the X-Naut Fortress, she teams up with the AI computer, TEC-XX, to escape. During her escapades, the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom has to get naked. If you think that's weird, Peach gets her kit off... on four separate occasions!!

Now, the first time she takes off her clothes is to have a shower. That seems innocent enough... apart from the fact TEC-XX watches her bathe... because... reasons.

Bizarrely, that's not the most inappropriate part. At one point, Peach consumes an invisibility potion to help her get around the facility without being spotted. As a concept, that's fine.

However, the developers decided to add in an extra complication. Because the formula only works on organic matter, Peach's clothing will remain visible. As a result, Peach has to run around the fortress completely starkers.

Now, it goes without saying that you never see Peach in the nip at any point in the game. Still, it's pretty bewildering how the developers thought making Peach naked was pivotal to the plot.
