That this aged so damn well only shows how much it raised the bar for sprite animation. While Newgrounds is part of most peoples childhoods here, it helped me through times of uncertainty and self-discovery in my early adult years. Thanks ever so much for preserving an important piece of internet history!
I’d forgotten that this was an almost exact shot for shot remake. Incredible work, I wonder what the animator went on to do. edit - A tonne of excellent games is the answer!
Remembered this due to recent events aka the new Matrix Movie. Glad I remembered enough to find it and that it was here to find. Awesome stuff. The little details like the Luigi and Mario sound effects that I couldn't make out much when I was a kid I hear now. Still quiet but I hear them.
