When I was a kid, I played a game called Super Mario Bros. In this game, the objective was to save a princess using carefully timed jumps, a few helpful power-ups, and the occasional warp pipe.

What I remember most about Super Mario Bros is the fire flower. Once you picked that thing up, the rest of the game was a breeze. You could storm through castles without a care in the world, vomiting flames all over helpless opponents all the while. Hell, fighting Bowser at the end of every castle was downgraded from “Oh shit” to “LAWL” if you still had the fire flower on you when you got there.

Of course, now I see how hilariously underpowered Mario was compared to some of his NES compatriots.

Super Mario Crossover is an incredible game from NewGrounds in which you play the original Super Mario Bros, but are able to select from a few of Nintendo’s classic heroes. Link is in there, and so is Samus and the guy from Contra, but I think you will agree that there is really only one choice here: Mega Man.

Playing Super Mario with Mega Man feels a lot like beating up little kids and taking their lunch money. Actually, it feels better than that, because no one is going to arrest you for using a super-charged mega-buster on a Goomba.

Play Super Mario Crossover right now. Do it.
