Christmas Flash Gaming: Super Mario Crossover

Let's celebrate Christmas, by writing the next Pookspot review, and introducing our new writer, DJPimpDaddy.. I may go low on activity the next days due to exams, so here we go... Let's talk about Super Mario Crossover, one of the best free online flash games available on the internet. It's the one which remade the original Super Mario Bros and added characters out of Super Mario's native environment. It can also be played as a PC version of Super Mario Bros, with the addition of being able to back track each level unlike the original NES version.

The story is the same as the original Super Mario Bros, the princess is kidnapped and you have to rescue her. With the help of more characters, Mario and others makes their way to saving her.


There are lots of music tastes here. You not only have the great Mario soundtrack, but you have the music from The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, CastleVania, Blaster Master and the others... You can turn any of these soundtracks on at any time given, so you can play as Link while the Super Mario soundtrack is on.


The graphics are the same 8-bit NES graphics you would expect, so here it gives some nostalgia taste :p. Of course, as long as it's NES graphics then you expect good retro game graphics in Super Mario Crossover.

The gameplay is how Super Mario Crossover shined..... You play in the same famous levels that Super Mario Bros hosted, and not only that, you can play with other character's out of the Super Mario, the same way they were controlled in their respective games. For example, Link moves, jumps, and can swing his sword and chuck his boomerang, as well as doing downwards and upwards thrusts, the same way he was controlled in Zelda 2 (chucking the boomerang from the original Legend of Zelda). If you are tired from their limited capabilities in the Mario worlds, you can use the cheats you find to make the trip easy and keep up with Mario. If you can't use a certain character in a stage because you couldn't do a jump well with your character, you should use Mario, because Nintendo built these stages for Mario to cross. There are many modes, one mode involves you playing with any character you want before the starting of a stage and before a game over (just like SNES Super Mario 2), another involves playing with only the chosen character, and there is a survival mode in which if a character died, he could be revived only by 1-ups. It's a cool remix of a cool classic game, huh? It includes saving data, which is also an addition to the whole game, and makes it easier for people who have real life to deal with, to continue the progress of their game. You save a text file and whenever you want to load the save, you press "Load Game" and pick up that text file, you have all your progress back.

And overall, the whole game is based on the classic 8-bit versions of graphics, music and gameplay. This means retro gameplay, glorious 8-bit graphics, and classic music. The list of playable characters includes (from left to right on the choose character screen): Ryu (Ninja Gaiden), Link (Legend of Zelda), Mario (Super Mario Bros), Bill Rizer (Contra), Simon Belmont (CastleVania), Megaman (Megaman), Samus Aran (Metroid), and finally, Sophia III (Blaster Master).

CONCLUSION:

So what do we have here in short? A collection of characters placed into one glorious game, all of them are in the masterpieces of 8-bit graphics, retro gameplay and classic music, all of them are controlled the same way they were controlled in their respective games... With saving games, cheats, and lots of modes... You can relive Super Mario Bros on your PC, or play the fun crossover involved in Super Mario Crossover... And the best part: for free. This the best flash game on the whole internet, and if you want to relive Super Mario Bros, no other flash Super Mario game was as accurate as Super Mario Crossover was in reliving Super Mario Bros...

10/10: One of the best flash games on the whole internet!
