Both the original GameCube release and the Nintendo Switch remake are rated E by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), but the GameCube version's rating was simply given the descriptor "Mild Cartoon Violence". The remake’s ESRB rating was updated to replace it with the descriptors "Mild Fantasy Violence" and "Mild Suggestive Themes". These "Mild Suggestive Themes" most likely refer to flirtatious dialogue (i.e. "Aren’t you a fine specimen of a man"; "Perhaps if I…grabbed you and gave you a little sugar") and a character with a large chest/exaggerated proportions, referencing Madame Flurrie.

With what this rating summary talks about, it makes you wonder why this remake couldn't be E10+ for Everyone 10 and up, since it does mention Suggestive Themes that are to do with Madame Flurrie.
Thank you. If someone could edit that, I’d apprecitate it.
I guess a certain warning wasn't around at the time of the original game's release.
I think this should be edited to clarify that the reasons behind the rating are substantially different from those behind the GameCube version's rating. Both games were rated E, but the GameCube version's rating was simply given the descriptor "Mild Cartoon Violence".
