[up] Now that's a good one!

EDITED IN: One little nitpick, though; using the spiked enemies would be (albeit slightly) more immediately obvious than using the less-threatening-looking turtle-like koopas.

I like the two-parter images.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I'm fine with either Rainbow Mario or the SMB 3 Two-parter from the bottom of the previous page. Between the two, I'm largely indifferent.

Whoa, a good two-parter image? I'm genuinely impressed. [awesome]

Multiparters can be good, but you have to know what elements to keep in the composition and what to crop off. You don't just place multiple screenshots side-by-side.

I also kinda miss that the All-stars version of SMB 3 doesn't have those impact stars like its version of SMB 1 does. (I did try to get to the Spiny portion of the level, but it's harder than it looks when you're also trying to take screenshots.)

Slightly larger version of Stratadrake's image:


That is a little blurry. The only way to preserve the sharp pixel-ness was exactly doubling the width, and that exceeds the uploader limit.

I am not sure how I see a trope in [up] or any other pic than the rainbow one.

Playing devil's advocate, to someone who knows absolutely nothing of Super Mario Bros, that two-parter shows just upside-down turtle shells floating around a rainbow-colored Mario.

Even if you know upside-down means dead in SMB, it's still only showing inverted Collision Damage, not invincibility.

The "Metal Mario in fire" -image would work, but you can't see him in there. Maybe an image of him walking in lava or something (if he can do that, I don't remember).

I had no idea that upsidedown meant dead; I assumed they were raining on him or something, and he was getting a bonus rather than taking collision damage. As it stands, I'm not sure if I prefer that to the plain rainbow-colored Mario.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

But it is a rainbow-coloured Mario...

This one's ready to go. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?
