Oh em gee, that's scary. And it's perfect for what I want to ask you. Would you want to do all Mario tiles with the same graphics you did those Mario draws? I know this is asking a lot, specially if it's coming from an Anonymous, but it would be awesome. I saw those images and felt my hearth stop and I said "I have to play Mario with THOSE graphics!".
So yeah ... that's about it. Would you be up for this? (Btw, there would be no profit from it, as it is Nintendo's stuff). :D
Hope you think about it.
