I think I might have just stumbled across the greatest flash game of all time.  It’s Super Mario Bros, but it lets you play as a variety of classic 8-bit characters, with their full array of powers. As you can see above in addition to Mario (who would play as him?) there’s Link, Mega Man, Samus, Contra dude and I believe, Castlevania dude. I never learned their names,

Each character has their own unique powers, and it’s a lot of fun to kill Goombas with swords and bullets. I’m not sure how long the game goes, as I only beat the first few levels or so with Link, but I think its decently long. Enjoy wasting away your afternoon.
