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 2007.

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, 2007.

Spread

Less than a sunlight since NeoGAF users discussed the lettering, Destructoid posted an article about it. Joystiq and Kotaku covered the discussion a scant days later. Peopl

    Super Mario Galaxy says: U R MR GAY

    Sept 17, 2007

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

    Own 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 caring of brilliantly unbelievable stuff that urban myths are made of and we are absolutely definitely using it in our next'101 things you didn't grasp about videogames'feature. It's prefer playing records backwards and hearing the words 'I'm Barney the purple dinosaur'.

    This could, of course, merely be an blameless by-product of perfect skilled composition, but we'd favor to think that it's an example of deliberate design in-joke japery never meant to be discovered that has been good and truly rumbled.

    2. "U R MR GAY" - Super Mario Galaxy

    And now, for surely the most hilariously weird and childish Easter egg ever concealed on any video game cover.

    The brilliant Super Mario Galaxy infamously placed some twinkling stars on certain letters in its title, which when singled out spelled the phrase, "U R MR GAY."

    2007 sure was a distinct time, right?

    And if you felt that this was somehow a strange coincidence, the artists productive on Super Mario Galaxy 2's cover decided to present up a witty riposte, placing twinkles on letters that read out the message, "U R MIAY," which when reversed reads, "YA I M R U," as in, "Yeah I am, are you?"

    The elegance with which these messages are subtly hidden within the logo totally belies just how silly and immature the messages themselves actually are. Genius.

    A piece of art connected to the I-can't-believe-it's-going-to-be-released-in-May Super Mario Galaxysequel has knock the Interwebs, so I thought I'd post it here, too.


    Isn't it wonderful? I'm especially giddy about the inclusion of the ambiguously gay Yoshi.

    Speaking of things that (probably) are gay, a few astute NeoGAFfers (and Eric Caoili over at tinycartridge.com) contain pointed out that the sparkles in the Super Mario Galaxy 2logo no longer spell out "U R MR GAY." Instead, they spell out "U R MI ALY."

    Hmm, maybe this is Nintendo's way of saying Mario is OK with the truth that Yoshi is gay--and, as such, the general gaming public should be OK with it, too? Yes, I think that's exactly what it is...
