Awesome sprite art mashes reality, fantasy

We've probably all done it: lazily daydreamed about how we could take out the bus stop across the road with a rocket launcher following one too many sessions of
Goldeneye, or how we'd negotiate a real-life street corner after a night spent on
Mario Kart. Or maybe that's just us. Perhaps the line in our heads between reality and fantasy is just
a little too blurred. Wouldn't be surprised.
Anyway, the point is, these "games-meet-real-life" collages from Flickr user Pixel Fantasy look quite a lot like some of our daydreams. Featuring the cast of
Mario Kart zipping between vehicles down a real street,
Link taking on an Octorok in an actual forest, and
Mario Jumpman having to negotiate a series of real-life platforms to rescue
Peach Pauline from the clutches of Donkey Kong, they're simple, but effective.
Sadly, we've hunted high and low for these in wallpaper dimensions (as we particularly love the
Mario Kart example above), but to no avail. If anyone can help, be our guest. Otherwise, hit the
gallery to see more.
