Chainsaw Maniac
Just wondering, but have you seen the Friday the 13th movies? Jason uses machetes, axes, or other blunt instruments to kill people. A chainsaw is... well, too complicated for him. If anything, the European maniac is the one that looks more like Jason than the US one. I'm thinking of reverting your comment, but I want to make sure we see eye to eye on this. :) // Foxhack 16:11, 4 November 2012 (EST)

The popular image of Jason is a hockey mask-wearing man with a chainsaw (like the US maniac), that's why the edit. You can revert it if you want to though. -N. Onymous 16:20, 4 November 2012 (EST)


 * Thank you. I see BMF has reverted the text. I just wanted to make sure you were OK with this, and didn't want look like I wanted to revert it just for the heck of it. // Foxhack 17:25, 4 November 2012 (EST)


 * He looks like Jason with or without the chainsaw, though. If they were really worried about that, they would have given him a different mask or something. I'm certain it has something to do with the chainsaw itself. --BMF54123 16:24, 4 November 2012 (EST)


 * Which would make sense, given the whole "ate my neighbors" purge and the green Game Over screen. Maybe they were worried the German rating board would pitch a fit. -N. Onymous 16:26, 4 November 2012 (EST)


 * European countries tend to have all sorts of odd (to foreigners, anyway) rules for things you can't put in video games (see: Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Probotector, Castlevania: The New Generation), and Germany is no exception, though I suspect most of their rules stem from laws passed in the aftermath of WWII. There's at least one entire website dedicated to stuff that was specifically removed from German versions of games, but nowhere else. --BMF54123 17:15, 4 November 2012 (EST)


 * The USK formed the same year Zombies came out there, although I don't know exactly what day they were formed. Somehow, I doubt USK actually rated Zombies, although Germany had pretty strict rules in terms of content featured in games (as they were once seen as a kids' medium). --From: divingkataetheweirdo 17:28, 4 November 2012 (EST)
 * Fun fact: The Wii release of Zombies was rated 12 by the USK in September 2009. // Foxhack 17:42, 4 November 2012 (EST)


 * Foreigners? Man, I live right next to the US and you're all sorts of weird to us Mexicans, with your gun obsession and the fear of boobies... ;) Anyway, I've read up on some films that have been banned by the BBFC in the UK, and one of them comes to mind immediately: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Maybe they wanted to prevent someone from pitching a fit because of how similar this guy is to Leatherface. (Edit: adding that to the article now.) // Foxhack 17:32, 4 November 2012 (EST)

Speculation
Please avoid adding speculation to articles unless you have compelling evidence to back it up! (For example, if Shellos and Gastrodon's cries were identical to these unused ones in later games.) --GlitterBerri (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2013 (EST)
