That took some real skill...
No, not really I was pulling you leg :)
So decided to take the time to not make your own characters and steal other artist's art and animations (AKA Sprites). Now you think to yourself "What's a good premise for an animation?" and for some reason you think of a race, A RACE. Why a race? Races are by far the most boring things to watch in the world. You weren't going to stop there were you? You decided to have a choppy FPS and make your sprites chop between animations, even on the run cycles they chopped occasionally. And just to make it as bad as possible you picked the most used characters of all time; Sonic and Mario.
Well where does that leave you at? 0/10, that's where.
Why don't you go do something original?
