In 2010, a fan-made game called Super Mario Bros. Crossover was released, which let players tackle the Nintendo classic using not just the standard plumber, but a cast of characters from other 8-bit games as well.
It now has a sequel which is kicking things up a notch, taking the 8-bit visuals from the first and running right into Super Nintendo land. With a few detours in…Game Boy land?
The game will be available in the next month or two, and when it is, it’ll be playable at the link below.

This one appears to have you devolve from SNES to NES and Nes to Gameboy when you lose a life, and that’s clever, but I’m still not sold on it.

You don’t need to be, it’s free! :)

Also – not sure why Nintendo hasn’t stomped all over it by now but I’m glad they haven’t.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 6:41 PMWhen I was a kid, playing my NES I used to dream about switching up characters from my various games so this is really incredible to me.
I really used to wish I could interchange Kid Icarus, Mario and the Ninja Turtles between games.
