my friend needs help

[Evil Yoshi Toes]

Lol I had to reread some of the thread to remember what we were talking about. If your friend is still too scared to make a Mario fan game then I think you should just let him not make a Mario fan game. If he ends up getting over his fear and makes one he is not going to get arrested or sued for it unless he sells it and makes a lot of money with it. The worst that could happen, assuming he does not make money from the project, is Nintendo asking him to stop production on his game, but that is unlikely.
