Someone at Newsground did this incredible Flash game were you can use either Mario, Link, Billy from Contra, Simon Belmon, Mega Man or Samus on the original Super Mario Bros side scroll game.

It's pretty addictive.

didn't work for me. couldn't choose a character using 'enter' key.

dx23

choose the character by pressing the z key.

That's pretty cool. I figured it was just going to be the look of the character, not the actual powers too.

OldBoy

dude!!!! samus takes her suit off when you get fireballs and it is wave beam...that was awesome!!! and retains music and sound effects from Metroid!

thanks dx!!

This is pretty unbelievable. The way each character retains their own movements and weapons. Wow. What a great idea and super fun to play.

Yeah, we've been goofing around on this at work today. It's crazy that people can do cool stuff like this with NES games in Flash.

The funny thing is that I always wanted something like this since I was a kid. I wanted to see how Link would fare on a Mario world and vice versa. These guys took this idea to the max.

This is incredible, I feel like going through and beating the game with each character...very, very cool

I may need to find my old PC game controller so I can really enjoy this thing (if that works).

maxfisher

Awesome concept and execution, but I'd guess some of the later levels with precise jumping would be hell with some of those characters.

Great game but how long till Nintendo pulls it?

Is there a way to download flash games?

dx23

There are some moving platforms in the later levels to help those characters that are vertically challenged.

Michael Corvin

Badass.

dx23

Is there any way of saving this flash game on your computer?

If Nintendo is smart, they will buy these guys out and publish this as Wii Ware.

You can use a (wired) 360 controller if you have one, and I think wireless is possible with an adapter. Dual shocks are possible with an adapter as well.

However, this game may only take keyboard input, so you may need Xpadder or the like to map the commands.

Thanks for posting, this was pretty cool. When I have more free time I'll probably play through more levels with the different characters.

My favourite part though, is that you can beak bricks you otherwise couldn't with Mario. I remember when I was a kid thinking how cool it would be to break all the bricks, and now I'm finally able to!

Just found it, go to Tools -> Page Info -> Media. Find the file and Save As.


You need a player to play it, but there are a number of free ones. It looks like you can just open it with your browser and that works too.

kstublen

Is it the .swf file?

stupiddimbulb

You know I've been searching for days for a way to make this fullscreen on my PC. Does anyone know how to do this?

shumway

It's the one that ends with _SmbcPreloader.swf.

reubs82

That's awesome. TBH, though, the subject line made me think this was a new Mario basketball franchise...this is much cooler, though!

Kedrix

One can only hope. But they would also have to coordinate it with the non-Nintendo characters' company. This thing however would sell buckets on WiiWare, period.
