ABSOLUTELY!

Even then. Didn't he have to pay for the right to do Mickey Mouse? I am
pretty sure he did pay licensing for the mouse. It was either the mouse
or Superman. Anyone have an AW book? Now I've gotta now!

That said, under the current interpretations of the law, he wouldn't be
able to show those paintings. I mean, Napier has about 5 Barbie
paintings --the pre-history of the Distorted Barbie-- and we wouldn't
be able to include that in any kind of retrospective unless we paid
Mattel or went to court.

Luigi's departure now gives Koopa enough time to lay seige to the
castle. The toads try in vain to defend their princess.
