Samus should have crouched and then jumped forward to do that crazy flying move she has.
I doubt there will be a stupider post on this article than this one.

From SNL:
Al Pacino (as Doc Brown): Alright... alright. "1.21 GIGAwatts?! GREAT, Scott!"
Director's Voice: No, no... It's an expression. Like, "Great Scott!"
Al Pacino: Right, right, right. Okay. "1.21 GIGAwatts?! You're doing a great JOB, Scott! Hey, everyone! Three cheers for SCOTT!"

That has to be one of the best endings to any video. Ever.

That was cool but sonic should have won. He goes at the speed of light while in super sonic form.

I'll explain for Decarto.
Time traveling potentially requires one to go faster than the speed of light (which is represented by C), as the act of accelerating towards C occurs, time slows down relative to the person traveling.
Normally, one can only travel at a maximum of C, as that is where time would technically stand still. Any faster and one would begin to force C into negative values, representing a backwards movement along the time line.
So yeah... the De Lorean won because it already won the race before.

Why did Simba attack Timon?
Also, for Caroso: time travel is faster than light speed. Marty/Doc still win.

Awww, I was so hoping Sonic would win.

Diddy Kong is faster than Donkey Kong. That's why everyone always switches to him in Donkey Kong Country.

This is the game Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing should have been.

Don't think any less of me for saying this, but what really brought back the nostalgia for me, was that lion king game, i remember playing those levels with the giraffes like they were yesterday on the SNES. ahhh, childhood.

@crazypeng1 you know that Lion King game was too hard for kids...I was 17 when I first played it and it was hard for me. Especially with no save/continue option you had to play through it all in one sitting. But once you figured it out, it was a fun game.

Holy shit, I saw the character from Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues.

I was waiting for Samus to use super boost the second I saw her. Nice ending.

That video was awesome.
But the absolute best part for me was at 41 seconds,
in the background,
a cow falls on someone.
Earthworm Jim cartoon nostalgia FTW!

This sure brings back some memories. Glad I got my Mega Drive still hooked up so I might just play some of those games tonight. I think I own all of the one released on the Mega Drive except B.O.B.
Especialy Kid Chameleon brings back memories, almost forgot about how tough that game was.
