Suggestion: Intercontinuity Crossover

Out of context, the current looks like it could just be two Star Wars characters. That and I think it'd be more interesting to find a lampshaded example anyway. Here's an initial suggestion:

EDIT: Quality-swapped the image.

It's better than the current because it doesn't rely on the caption to get the context across.

I don't think relying on them saying it is any better. And that's assuming there's a better quality version of it, since otherwise it's just all of the nopes.

Edit: Now it at least looks good, but I don't think it's an improvement.

How about using the boxart for a crossover video game like Mario and Sonic?

[up][up] Google image search reveals a lot of options. I'm not sure whether it'd be better with the text, without, or if with, then how much would be best. For now, here's this.

[up]That's a pretty good one.

^^ I think that's banking a bit too much on the recognizability of both characters. I think the OP works best of the suggestions so far.

Yeah, I think I prefer the OP so far.

Votes bump; only one in the green right now.

The one from post 8 has been running away with this. 5 points in the green; 6 points ahead of the next option; are we ready to give it the gold medal?

Yep, time to call this one. The new pic's up and tagged; caption?

[up] That sounds like a meta Noodle Incident... I don't get the point of the Bait-and-Switch pothole at all.

Mario "Jump Man" versus Sonic "world's fastest critter"

[up] Descriptive enough, but ideally we should aim for something more witty.

No more suggestions have come to mind for me yet; they might tomorrow; but does anyone else have any of their own?

EDIT: On second thought, "looks are deceiving, whether koopas are involved or not" is more fitting, since Bowser is apparently a character in that game. (Haven't played it.) Would that make a better caption or no?

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
