Nostalgic Elation — the Super Mario Crossover

Posted by Soulskill on from the it'sa-me-megaman dept.

eldavojohn writes "Sure, they're stepping all over proprietary rights and copyright, but something must be said about the amount of bliss-filled nostalgia inside Exploding Rabbit's Super Mario Crossover. If the plumbers never really did it for you, you can now kill those goombas as Link, Mega Man, Samus, Simon Belmont, or Contra's Bill. Goodbye jumping and spitting; hello slicing, whipping, and shooting. Is this one of the early firsts in the new genre of video game mashups?"

    He's not in any trouble. He's one of the 4.3 billion people who lives in a country with "bad" IP laws.

    It's neat, but I'd really like to see it ported to the PS3. *ducks*

      WiiWare it. That would be the ultimate.

    Yeah, I also noticed that you can play as other characters besides Mario & Luigi which were _definitely_ not in the original. Also, there seems to be some pixels out of place in the castle, I haven't finished counting the bricks but I'll let you know when I do.

    Also the hitboxes are pretty badly wrong. Including getting hit by the top few pixels of a piranha plant.

    I DEMAND PIXEL-PERFECT ACCURACY FROM FLASH GAMES IMITATING OLD GAMES.
