Look at it! Look at it! LOOK AT IT!

I first heard about that game through SpaceHamster waaaay long back and I remember laughing at the game over screens at how brutal they were.

Way to go, Russia.

There's also this one.

To make things more disturbing, in the VineSauce stream the placement of the Piranha heads was compared to.....something else.

Let it grow, let it grow, it's the end of Mario

Mario's survived Ridley, I'm sure he'll live through this too. :P

 

[Ray Trace]

Please never stop making Game Over screens Russian bootleggers. пожалуйста.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

Also plenty of non-Mario Russian bootlegs I could go on and on about......
Tom & Jerry 3, "Wait and See!," and the infamous Felix the Cat bootleg, (with an even worse Game Over screen) for starters....
Wait and See!'s was also sorta disturbing, but not as visceral.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

And on the subject of WTF bootleg imagery, there's this weird recurring face I've seen on some....

 

[Ray Trace]

the infamous Felix the Cat bootleg, (with an even worse Game Over screen) for starters....

I just googled the Felix the Cat bootleg and I just laughed at how twisted and demented it was. Like, holy hell, whoever is behind those game over screens has some bizarre gore fascination going on with beloved children's characters.

(again, please don't stop making game over screens)

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

Note that the Felix one is what occurs after a previous screen shows him as a happy angel.

So nice of Martin's brother to give the kid some room to ride Funny Dino.

Love how Clawgrip of all things was chosen to get cover space here.

Is it sad that I can name that typeface?
Baby Kruffy. I'll bet my plushy on it.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

Eh not really, the month after I finished typography class I could recognize a few for a while.

At least the squishy kerning's fine.

 

[J-Yoshi64]

Except I would have recognized it before even knew typography classes were a thing.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

I'm just curious if it's French.

 

[Koops]

It is French

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

The typeface, I mean.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

I'mma sit here and wait for a certain Bill Gates puppet image to be posted.

Don't worry, people without context, you'll know soon enough.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

... dancing naked Donkey Kong Jr.s?

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

Fortunately, I know the basic gameplay of JP, so I know what "ready" means in this contest. Without that, and with that face, this would be pretty horrifying.

Still, I kinda like this Monkey design more than the final one.
