Vs. Airman

Vs. Airman is kind of mind-blowing the first time you see it. It is not a PC or flash game, but a romhack that can run on a real NES. But which game is it a hack of? My own guess: the distinctive physics of Super Mario Bros. would be harder to recreate than the graphics effects and enemies of Air Man's level of Mega Man II, and I notice they changed the music, which could be because SMB's engine couldn't handle the advanced chiptune music techniques Mega Man tend to feature. There are other versions of the hack out there it seems. Here's one a bit closer to Super Mario Bros. in level design. Auntie Pixelante hosts a copy of the original patch.

Was Mario some Communist propaganda? "If anything can be said about Mario, it is that he seems to wear quite a bit a red . It’s on his name, it’s the color of his suspenders, his super mushrooms, his flag, even his hat." He does kinda look like an 8-bit Stalin, but a more important question must be asked: "Is Mario a drug pusher?"
