Super Mario Crossover

[Parabox]

Hey MetConstians,

I found this really awesome game on Newgrounds, you might already know it or have played it.
It's called Super Mario Crossover, it's basically Super Mario Bros., only now you can play as Link (Zelda 1), Bill R. (Contra/Probotector), Simon (Castlevania/Akumajou Dracula), Mega Man/Rockman (game of the same name) and Samus (Metroid 1) too.

This way you can replay SMB in totally different 8bit styles, which is awesome. Each character has his or her own music and upgrades.

All I can say is play, rate, name your favorite character, etc.

You can find it here: Super Mario Crossover

Enjoy!

Oh yes, this game! Definitely a good one amongst all the trash at Newgrounds. A real gem hidden in a dump. Anyway...

It's a fun game overall. Each person plays just like they would in their own games, but you still have the option of stomping on enemies, even as a character that normally suffers from "I'm allergic to skin contact" syndrome in their respective games.

I found that Simon was the hardest to play as due to his very stiff play style. His ability to double jump is a good addition, but he still has the inability to change direction mid jump. He's also quite the large target for a Lakitu dropping Spineys.

Our good friend Samus is pretty easy to play as, though she suffers the same problem of being a bigger target like Simon. I think she gets the better end of things though, as she can aim and shoot up and jump particularly high. Also, as she gets power ups Samus switches to Varia with the Long Beam, and then to no suit and sporting the Wave Beam. I'd prefer the Long Beam, but oh well.

Bill was quite interesting to play as, period. Not all that much I can say really since I didn't play him all too much. Though it was kinda fun to play through a level of Super Mario with a Contra spin to it.

Link is quite possibly the smallest character of the bunch and probably one that pays for it by being short range most of the time. Thankfully when he gets a Fire Flower he gets to use the projectile swords. So that's a plus.

In the end though, I'm more for playing as Mega Man. He's in between everyone size wise and can really level enemies fast, especially with his fire weapon. Not to mention he can charge up his shots and really let loose. ... That and I'm totally biased. >.>; First game I ever played was Mega Man 3 so, the Blue Bomber will always have a special place with me. xD


Cool thing about this game is also the fact that you can take on Bowser how you like. Wana do it the traditional way? Hop over him and hit the axe for the bridge. Wana just kill the guy? Start attacking! Though, you gotta hit the axe anyway to make the game progress. xD I totally advise people at least try it, it's fun.

Samus can IBJ to the top of all the underground stages and skip most of the level =)

At least in this, place each bomb in a half- to third-explosion time.

[P.JBoy]

This isn't NEStroid, you can place bombs at any point during the jump

I decided to put up a character description.

Form 2: Super Mario, can be hit once now.
Form 3: Fire Mario, can be hit once and can throw fireballs.

Link: Terrible character in my opinion.
Ability: Can throw his boomerang.
Form 1: Standard Link.
Form 2: Blue ring white sword Link, can be hit once.
Form 3: Red ring magical sword magical boomerang Link, can be hit once and shoots swords.

Bill: Pretty good character, nice for a challenge. (I suck at Contra).
Ability: Can shoot in all directions.
Form 1: Bill.
Form 2: Machine gun Bill.

Samus: Second best character I think.

[Malpercio]

Suitless WAVE BEAM samus. thank goodness it's wave, instead of ice

[Parabox]

Thanks metruler, clearly wasn't awake or something.
Fixed it.

[Malpercio]

no problem

[PZ-powa]

Oddly, I accidentely found it today by looking on Koreus.  :blush:


Oh yeah, a badass game, You must play it !  :razz:


My favourite character? Megaman, it's so stylish to play with him.  :awesome:

[Malpercio]

Mega Man vs. Samus is a really close race. Samus gets pretty much free range to attack/jump/move/etc, but Mega Man gets charge buster and his shots always penetrate walls. it depends on the level really.

[Hiroshi Mishima]

Oh man, my ex showed me this game the other day and I thought it was pretty damn awesome. I fell in love with using Bill, Samus and Simon, but Megaman is fun too. I can't really stand using Link because his short range is a crap... and Mario, well that's just the same thing I've played over 20 years now. Hah.

But I have to agree this is proof that New Grounds actually has some decent stuff, instead of mostly crap and hentai shit gumming it up. Between stuff like this game, guys like Legendary Frog, Kirbopher, and so on, you do find some great stuff hidden on the site. It's just hard to find most of the time. Never would have seen this if she hadn't shown it to me.

Forgot to mention this in this topic when I heard about it....

Creator is adding a new character in soon:

[Parabox]

Holy shit, thanks for notifying squish! I love old skewl Ryu and trailer shows rebalancing as well.

[Hiroshi Mishima]

Oh yeah I forgot all about Ryu being added to this when my cousin told me about it...

[Parabox]

Bump. Updated the poll to include Ryu.

Also, since the Newgrounds version is outdated:
