6	[[https://www.youtube.com/user/jamesrfarr James Farr]] is, aside from the mind behind WebAnimation/TrainsFormers and WebAnimation/{{Xombie}}, a popular WebSite/YouTube animator, best known for his [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcITr-JYOyYpaLSJOGEyo2LQxMgULLhM5 "Saturday Morning Multiverse"]] series of mash-ups, with each half of any crossover being a perfect fit for the other: examples include ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant]] [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Koopa Troopas]]'', ''[[Series/DoctorWho Blink]] [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture To The Future]]'', and ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Super Mario]] [[{{Franchise/Ghostbusters}} Busters]]''. His most ambitious project to date, ''WebAnimation/SuperSmashWars '', has gotten so big (started as a standalone parody of ''[[{{Film/ANewHope}} A New Hope]]'' and got a surprise ''two-part'' [[{{Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack}} sequel]] in January 2014) that it deserved a [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcITr-JYOyYr2NV7uWkwoCZvhpevDUf6c separate playlist.]]

12	----
13
14	!! James Farr's works contain examples of:
15
16	* AdaptationalVillainy: Mario as [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 The Shredder]], while in turn the Koopa Troopas (possibly the [[VideoGame/PaperMario Koopa Bros.]]) get some AdaptationalHeroism as the titular TMKT; justified as in the crossover, each character [[CompositeCharacter plays a role]]. Same goes for other examples in ''WebAnimation/SuperSmashWars'', such as Linebeck and Solid Snake.
17	* ArtEvolution: His earlier videos were already gorgeous to begin with, and have only gotten better with time. ''WebAnimation/SuperSmashWars'' is a sight to behold.
18	* CoolCar: One of the highlights of ''Blink To The Future'' is a [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]] crossed with a [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture DeLorean]].
19	* CompositeCharacter:
20	** Mario as Han Solo, Luigi as Egon, Link as Luke Skywalker, Samus as [[spoiler: the animated Statue of Liberty]], you name it.
21	* {{Crossover}}: Specializes in these. Notably, his crossovers are more like mashups of two different universes, and character similarities are directly avoided in that the [[CompositeCharacter mashed up]] characters provide a perfect fit for each other (Franchise/DonkeyKong as [[{{Characters/StarWars}} Chewbacca]] is the first among many examples).
22	* HumongousMecha: Remember the Art/StatueOfLiberty in ''Film/GhostbustersII''? Guess which character is used in the mashup. [[spoiler: It's ''[[{{Franchise/Metroid}} Samus]]''.]]
23	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The Kirby Marshmallows in ''[[Film/GhostbustersAfterlife Super Mario Busters 3 - Extra Life]]''. After bursting out of the CoolCar, they do nothing but run around aimlessly, [[spoiler:cheer when the original heroes arrive, and one accidently ends up saving the day [[NiceJobFixingItVillain after it swallows some ghostbusting weapons, transforming it into the Polterbust [=XXL=] that stops Rozer and her minions once and for all.]]]]
24	* MsFanservice: [[{{Characters/SuperMarioBros}} Daisy]] as [[{{Characters/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987}} April O'Neal]] and as [[{{Characters/Ghostbusters}} Janine]].
25	* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Mario as [[{{Characters/Ghostbusters}} Peter]] delivers an ''amazing'' "Happy new year!".
26	* PromotedFanboy: He was a fan of the Toejam and Earl series, and when a new game was announced in 2015, guess who got to make the announcement trailer?
27	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: One of his videos begins with the humorous [[ContentWarnings warning]] "[[ReferenceOverdosed So. Many. References.]]"
28	* ReferenceOverdosed: '''''[[ShoutOut Good God.]]''''' The ''WebAnimation/SuperSmashWars'' series takes the cake, as the ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters are mashed up with people coming from all over the Nintendo spectrum, even including Smash Bros' third party characters.
29	* StockScream: The Wilhelm Scream features OnceAnEpisode in the ''WebAnimation/SuperSmashWars'' series and in ''The Wiivengers''.
