nice dramatic touch..
The sprites you used were well presented and animated.. excellent touch with the dramatic background audio music and dilemma that Mario was facing.. it looked like you were trying to convey a touching experience with the viewing audience of a sad past experience perhaps, but then the dedication screen of this flash popped up, and it seemed to make me laugh - if more than anything. I don't know if it was your intent, or if it was just me - but it was genious and funny hahaha. I can't even tell if your serious or just joking with the message you put forward... but well presented, and a well made flash indeed
