Kensuke Tanabe is currently producing metroid prime 4 and judging by how he has treated the paper mario series the game will cause irreparable damage to the Metroid series potentially ending it all together.

This man needs to stopped before this happens only we can put a end to this please send this to every one you know please.

Together we can save the metroid franchise and get the paper mario game we deserve i know petitions don't  always work but its worth a try and this time it might just work.
