Super Mario’s Got a (Newer, Bigger) Posse
Remember Super Mario Crossover? The awesome fan-made Super Mario Bros. game where you could play Samus, Simon Belmont, Mega Man, and more through the original SMB game? Well, Super Mario Crossover 2.0 is on the way, and as the trailer above shows, it’s includes more playable characters (many of them different versions of the original line-up), but more importantly you can even pick the graphics this time — from the NES to the SNES’ Super Mario World to the Game Boy, complete with accompanying music. It’s kind of insane, but in the best possible way. Much thanks to Gaston for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
