Mario in Contra? O_o

OK, 2 months ago I had a brainstorm and I'd gone crazy :)
Well as I aspire to become a game programmer in Distant future I was trying my hand at some regular game engines


But then I thought that whatever I was making has been made my many people and it won't be a real achievement. I wanted to make something unique

So I created this

But then again.... Mario isn't someone to fight against bullets
As you can see in the first pic, the moment he landed he got shot (duh)
And I couldn't make mario's sprite any smaller (cuz i don't own the sprite)
And Mario's fireballs were kinda slow.... so I barely managed to reach the boss
But thats it..... i could never defeat the boss with Mario
So I just left it and went to sleep :P

Now for those of you who think that MUGEN is just a platform for making fighting games might have to reconsider
I don't own any of the things used except for the idea
But if anyone of you is planning to become an artist in game designing... you should try these platforms to experiment your ideas






"What if....."
This line invented most of the things we know
Go ahead and do something creative
