QUESTION

Hi, is it illegal to use Mario sound effects?

Asked on Aug 13th, 2015 on Intellectual Property - New York
More details to this question:
I am currently developing an android game I ran into some issues with using a particular Mario sound effect, my question concerns me because this game is going to be commercial, such that it's possible some revenue will be generated, is using Mario sound effects illegal. This concerns me because many other websites have sound effects (the ones that I need), however it didn't feel right to incorporate those into my project without a legal confirmation that I'm not violating the law. Please help me, I would appreciate it very much.

Without knowing more, the most that can be said is that you could be committing copyright infringment without first obtaining a license to use the sound effect.
