Although it has been known since the sixties as the sign for peace, whenever Mario gives the V sign, it is actually a V for "victory" rather than for "peace".
This is due to a misconception of a cover of Time Magazine, where the word "PEACE" is accompanied by a Vietnamese person giving the V sign at the cameraman. However, this sign shows the back of the hand rather than the palm side. In Vietnam, this is like giving someone the finger.

All the children try to run, To him its part of the fun. His branching arms are for collecting, His face is empty of expressing. He sometimes hums a lowly drone, He will wander 'round your home. Dressed in darkest suit and tie, He won't let you say goodbye.
