Man, That Was Actually Pretty Cool!
Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's gonna' survive. If there weren't already a million other Mario movies out there this one would have made quite an impact because it's so well done. The fact that everyone's seen Mario sprite movies more times than they've seen themselves naked just kills the effect this would have had. Great job, and just go ahead and buy the Flash upgrade. You can probably do ALOT of things with it based on what I've seen, and it'll most definitely be worth your while.
