So a couple years ago, I group called exploding rabbit made a little flash game where you could play the original Super Mario Bros. with other 8 bit gaming icons. The trick was, said optional characters had all their own special moves and attacks. Included:
- Link
- Samus
- Mega Man
- Simon Belmont
- Bass (Mega Man's rival)
- Bill Ritzer (Contra)
- Ryu Habusa
- SOPHIA III (Blaster Master)
Surprisingly Nintendo didn't try to block or ban this emulation. Namely because no one was making money off it and it wasn't derogatory to the Mario game in any way. So in that time, since it's inception the game went on to add varying difficulties and alternate skins and is fun if you're looking for a time waster.
So here's the link. The keyboard controls take some getting used to.

Personally I'd like to see them add Sonic to the choices here.
