Super Mario Crossover

Ever wonder just what it would be like if your favorite old school characters could get hop on over to the original Super Mario Bros. on the NES? Well wonder no more because someone actually went and made what we all dreamed of back in grade school. Pavlina and others decided to get together and create Super Mario Crossover now playable on Newgrounds.

Mario, Link, Samus, Bill, Simon and Megaman are now able to team up to kick Bowser's or in old school King Koopas butt. Each of the characters has her or his own special abilities, run speed and jump. As you might have guessed they also all have the same amount of life 1 to 3 hits and each gets the same power ups.

Getting a mushroom gives all characters an up grade to their current weapons and a slight alteration in costume. The fire flower does same thing only the costumes are cooler and upgraded weapons now are far more powerful. For the characters that shoot even with out the fire flower upgrade their fire power has been greatly reduced to help balance the game.

The game apart from the new cameos is exactly the same, well perhaps nearly the same would be a better description. Being able to go back to the left was always a gamers worst nightmare in the original, luckily they forgot or didn't put that in. Another thing that is different is the the level not having a floor and falling to certain doom occasionally when starting a stage.

Being able to choose between characters between stages is also new, back in the old days you had to take turns with someone else or the other controller to play Luigi, that or kill off all the Mario lives off. That's another thing you get infinite continues, hell you actually get continues though it would have been nice to be able to start at any stage not just the beginning of a world if you die, curse you world 8.
