PETA browser games are controversial internet browser games created by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), a highly controversial and the most notorious animal rights group. These games parodied video games, often Nintendo games, in an attempt to force their beliefs concerning animal cruelty on other people.
After the release of Super Mario 3D Land, PETA responded to Nintendo by saying that Mario was wearing the skin of a Tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog). PETA later created a video game called Super Tanooki Skin 2D to draw attention to the real-life killing of raccoon dogs for their fur. After it was released, people sent all sorts of negative messages to PETA, saying they were hypocritical for creating a video game that highlights animal abuse so PETA apologized for the mistake.
PETA took on the Pokémon series with Pokémon Black and Blue, a parody of Pokémon Black and White that focuses on animal fighting and experimentation. In role-playing-style battles, the player controls a Pikachu who escapes its trainer, Cheren. Pikachu first fights Cheren and then moves on to other Trainers in order to rescue their Pokémon from ownership. Pikachu recruits these Pokémon to its cause, as well as the sympathetic Nurse Joy. A sequel, Pokémon Red, White, and Blue, followed in 2013. The game suggests that Nintendo's continual release of Pokémon games reduce humans' empathy for animals. The game stars Pikachu and Miltank, who battle McDonald's characters like the Hamburglar in a crusade against the rare but ongoing practice of meat production in the Unova region.
List of "games"
- Make Fred Spew (2001) - a very simplistic game where you make a lactose intolerant guy named Fred puke when you feed him milk-based products.
- Revenge of the PETA Tomatoes (2004) - another simplistic game where you pelt people wearing fur coats with tomatoes.
- Lobster Liberation (2004) - Parodies Frogger
- Fast Food Nation (2006) - Parodies BurgerTime (not to be confused with the film of the same name that was also released in 2006)

Why They Should Be Sent To The Slaughter House
Super Chick Sisters
- Some of the between level cutscenes in Super Chick Sisters depict Mario getting tortured in some form or fashion, making the people who tortured Mario in those cutscenes unlikable jerks.
- Anachronism: Colonel Sanders, who is portrayed as the main villain in the first game, actually died in December 6, 1980, and the first game was set in 2007.
Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals
- They decided to parody Cooking Mama when it is a simple cooking game that is completely harmless.
- Out of all PETA games, this game it is very considered one of the most goriest of all time to the point it is extremely hard to watch which is incredibly out of place for a lighthearted game franchise like Cooking Mama. To do so you must cook a turkey in gory ways such as:
- Removing the feathers.
- Removing the internal organs.
- Cracking the eggs with blood coming inside which does not make sense since they're objects.
- Slicing its head.
- Cook the turkey.
- Chopping the neck.
New Super Chick Sisters
- One of their games, New Super Chick Sisters, has a Japanese language option which is a straight translation from English to Japanese without any localization to make it consistent with the Japanese Mario games. For example, Bowser isn't called Koopa (クッパ) as he is in Japanese and a line he says that references Super Mario RPG ("Fungah! Foiled again!") is translated directly from English instead of using the Japanese equivalent of the line, which was "Fungya!" (フンギャ!). (Info courtesy of Legends of Localization, article here)
Super Tofu Boy
- Sometimes they don't even make their research to justify their games. For example, Super Tofu Boy was made under the assumption that Meat Boy is made out of pig meat, which is completely wrong, as Meat Boy is simply a boy who has no skin, and that meat is generally red.
Super Tanooki Skin 2D
- They did not do research on the Tanooki suit from the Mario franchise as they believe that it actually comes from the skin of an actual raccoon when it actually comes from a Super Leaf.
- The game is very simple and predictable, all you do is run and jump over obstacles to catch up to Mario.
Pokémon Black and Blue
- Poor grasp of the source material they are trying to parody. In Pokémon Black and Blue in particular, even though the writers apparently know that Ghetsis wanted to take over the world all along, they still praise Team Plasma anyway and act like Ghetsis isn't indicative of their true goals. Pikachu is owned by Cheren even though he is a normal type gym leader and only uses normal type Pokémon. The final boss is also a corrupted version of Ash Ketchum even though he's from the anime, not the games. The game depicts that Ash as an abusive jerk who never cared for his Pokémon, proving they didn't even bother to get past the first fifteen minutes of the first episode of the anime, even though Ash is actually very kind to his Pokémon in the anime, and even risked his life to protect them in the anime.[1]
- When Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield were announced on February 27, 2019, PETA thought it would be a good idea to advertise Pokémon Black and Blue on Twitter, this action coming almost a week after they had received severe backlash for insulting the late Steve Irwin on his birthday. Needless to say, the tweet did not receive positive reception.
Pokémon Red, White, and Blue: Loosely Connected to McDonald's
- The game is nothing but a reskin of Pokémon Black and Blue, just with the story and enemies changed to be like McDonalds.
Overall
- Poor controls. The games also have bugs everywhere.
- Many of their games contain violent, bloody, and disturbing imagery, even though their games are supposedly targeted towards children and are based on kid-friendly video game franchises. For example, after you get a badge in Pokémon Black and Blue, it shows youa video containg nothing but extremely graphic footage of animal abuse.
- Aside from all the violent content, one of their games, Learn Your ABC's With PETA's Sexy Striptease (yes, that's the name), there are quiz questions. If you get one correct, the woman on the screen (called Amber), takes off an item of clothing until the point where you can see her bare breasts. As you can imagine, this is highly inappropriate for a children's game. To add extra salt into the wound, the title includes the word striptease in!
- The games hardly do anything to inform or educate players of the subjects presented other than have random NPCs spout nonsensical dialogue about it.
- Just like the company itself, a good chunk of the games try way to hard to force veganism down players' throats, which gets extremely repetitive.
- One of their games, Pirates of the Karab, features an offensive Chinese stereotype called "Tofu Manchew".
- The games are hypocritical, as they preach not doing harm to or killing animals, yet PETA killed 81% of animals that came into their Virginia-based shelter in 2014.[1]
- Childhood destruction. That's all there is to say. In fact, you shouldn't be fooled by the looks of the PETA games.
The Only Humane Quality
- The Super Chick Sisters series are the least bloody and violent games out of the lineup. Both games are also among all of the other games, the most solid between all the games released by PETA.
