The game was made by Jay Pavlina, aka explodingRabbit, and man did Jay create one hell of an homage. Each of the characters retain their own moves or weapons – Samus can turn into a ball and set bombs, Mega Man can slide and charge up his Buster, and the cruel Bill unleashes the Spread gun if he gets a Fire Flower. Did you read what I just said? The Spread gun. In Mario.

As if that wasn’t enough, Jay added the soundtrack from the characters’ respective games. I tell you, playing Super Mario with the Zelda soundtrack egging me on was so much fun.

Thank you so much, Jay Pavlina. I hope you’re not sued by Nintendo, Capcom and Konami. Check out Super Mario Crossover at Newgrounds.

I honestly believe these may be the most amazing sugar cookies I’ve ever seen, but I may be biased on account of my raging adoration for all things Left 4 Dead. But check out those little faces! Not only are they pretty accurate, but they’re very well drawn as cookie decorations go. Jocelyn of Snack or Die reportedly used a food coloring pen to achieve those tiny facial features.

All that’s missing are a few sugary speech bubbles attached to the Francis cookies, extolling all of the things he hates, like vans and Ayn Rand.
