What is the defining line between “Comic Mischief” and “Cartoon Violence” for the ESRB?
From what I understand, cartoon mischief is when a character, for example, a pulls another character's pants down, puts a banana peel so another character can slip and fall or scare them all of a sudden. Prank like stuff.
Cartoon violence is when the violence is greatly exaggerated and no real consequences are ever shown, like being cut into pieces with a knife, then being fine the next, or surviving an explosion in Mario Kart's case.
