It has a lot of shortcomings, but the idea of Master Chief fighting Mario is just so devastatingly badical, we found ourselves powerless to resist. Seriously, we bet you could find the design doc written on the back of a binder in Wite-Out somewhere. Awesome.
Are you leet enough to finish teh fightz0r against Mario? Share your accomplishment in the comments below.

badical huh?

Oh yeah. Badical. If that means this game will cause your hamster to die of a fatal hernia, and you die by a falling piano on your way to work next tuesday at 4:00 AM.

I can tell this was made with Game Maker by the generic gray tiles and blank background.

Mario is invincible for the mere fact that he can do ANYTHING.
All he has to do is grab the Spartan Leaf and it's all over for ol' Master Chief.

I tea bagged Mario.
The sound/music in the game is great by the way.

Amazing game that really should be highlighted some time soon. An interesting 2D take on Super Mario 64.

Its pulling ideas and sprites from Mario World on the SNES...not a 2D take on Mario 64.
mr mobius @ Dec 22nd 2008 2:38PM
With 2D interpretations of Super Mario 64 levels, and some ideas from Sunshine and Galaxy also.
I'll agree it follows similar look to Super Mario World though.

I've fallen through a time warp. This must be 2000, where we've all just discovered Newgrounds and played that stupid Mario vs. Sonic Flash for the 10th time.
voice of reason @ Dec 22nd 2008 3:37PM
nice idea, but poor level design and horrible control plus the terrible boss fight remind me of the worst that newgrounds has to offer.

This game sucks.
GeneticSpartan @ Dec 31st 2008 3:53PM
Wow, I wonder what would happen if I actually made a full-fledged game out of this. *ponders*

Out of all the free games out there you waste our time with this piece of shit thrown together in 5 days? Christ.
