I really love these metagames. I had fun while I did, but unfortunately, a glitch erased all the addons I gave my ship but I couldn't afford another weapon, so needless to say, I'm stuck. I'll give you a good score for the concept and execution, but there should at least be a reset data button or something. Unless I missed it.

"How can one fit so much win into one flash file?"
Gameplay: The gameplay is very dynamic and takes advantage of Mario's abilities very well as well as the FLUDD powers. The exploration is also extremely well handled and I've very rarely found any glitches. As if that wasn't enough, the level designer was incredibly diverse and kept me entertained. I have two issues though: First, the loose passages and certain blatant exploits make sequence breaking very easy; I managed to beat the game with only one shine sprite and beating Bowser just twice. But it's not really a bad thing; it can be fun to look for little ways around the true path. Secondly, maybe its just me, but loading code in the level creator causes it to crash. :P
Story: The storyline was interesting and motivating, characters were well developed and the dialogue was humorous. It felt relatively intense for a Mario game but it was still down to earth enough to be enjoyable and epic.
Sound: A great selection of rips and remixes. It was usually clear as well, but my sound card doesn't let me have many sounds at once without creating short bursts of static.
Originality: Being a tribute more or less, I can't use that it wasn't "original" as a complaint, but the fact that it was able to mix old levels with new gimmicks as well as adding new challenges made it a blast. And on its own, this game is revolutionary as far as internet flash games go.
Overall: Maybe this is just my Super Mario 64 nostalgia talking, but this is the best flash game I've ever played on the internet. I have yet to find another so immersive or addicting; I've spent hours upon hours looking for all 64 shine sprites and star coins (and I've found them all :D). What's more, it holds true to the original Super Mario 64 formula and still able to add new twists where it can. I look forward to more from you. Seriously, Nintendo should hire you on the spot.

"Truly hilarious, accurate, and over the top."
A fantastic collab and a well made video game satire. Kudos. But while I loved it overall, it had it's ups and downs. I'm kind of OCD, so I'll give the individual lowdown.
Mario Party 287 - Couldn't be a better or funnier image of how ridiculously luck based Mario Party is. I mean, I like the game, at least for the minigames, but I find it hilarious how spot on this one is. 10/10
Excitebike Wipeout - YEAHHH!!! TOTALLY EXTREEEM!!! Simple, but funny. 8/10
Low, Low, Low - I laughed, but it was kinda meh. 6/10
Olimar Forgot - I'm sorry, but it wasn't that good. It was well animated, but the punchline didn't work. 4/10
Revenge of Metaknight Part Un - So funny I choked laughing. There is no line I didn't laugh at. 10/10
Duckbill Hunting - Also a choke-laughing one. Probably my favorite! FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!! 10/10
Starfox Perventures - Pretty funny and well animated. The voices were actually so accurate, I thought they were the original actors! 9/10
Pokemon Snap XXX Part Un - Erm... a little TOO well animated. It didn't really fit in with the rest of the collab, but... you have... talent...? At least we now have a way to separate the men from the furries. (And just out of nerd rage, Scyther does not evolve via stone. It needs to be traded with a metal coat.) WTF/10
The Majesty of R.O.B. - Hilarious. "Dahhhh Spaceboat!" I loved the look on the gamer's face. 10/10
Campfire of the Four Swords - Just fantastic. You really gave them distinct personalities. Red's my favorite. "You never wonder anything because YOU DON'T THINK!"
Kongcest - Not as eccentric as the Pokemon Snap XXX one, but still disturbing and out of place. WTF/10
Crazy-Wario's Microgame Emporium - Ah, Wario's always a laugh for me. SWEET RAVE PARTY!! 8/10
Planet of the Kongs - I half-died laughing at Miyamoto's voice. "What the herr is a gooing on a desuuuu-ka!" 10/10
Cook - Friggin' hysterical. I loved the headchef's script and voice. 10/10
Master Hand Throws a Fist - More simple slapstick. More laughs. 8/10
Pokemon Snapp XXX Part Deux - ENOUGH ALREADY! I think you're enjoying this TOO much, Richie. 2/10
Fire Emblem Truths - Didn't find it funny. 1/10
Revenge of Metaknight Part Deux - Still loved it. Metaknight's reaction to Kirby was funny. "Ai chiuaua no bueno..." 9/10
Starfox Drama Mission - A funny three-for-one. "Personally, I prefer your mom!" 9/10
Pokemon: The 5th Generation - Yeah, I think they overdid it on the legendaries too. Loved the guy who was like "Ffffffffuck!" 9/10
Tonight, on Tetris - A good joke made better with tetris blocks. I loved the BLOCK magazine. But they could have had a recessive Z-block gene for all we know. Maybe they should have had a paternity test before L-block killed his buddy. 8/10
Subspace Emissary: Final Battle - I loved Tabuu's nonchalant voice. He sounded like a speaker on a supermarket PA. I loved Lucario's "I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE'S WORSE!!!" An automatic 10 for Metal Gear Awesome reference and that sweet Brawl-Theme Remix in the credits.
Overall, I think Zito won the collab, Kirbopher second. And Pikanjo, next time don't overdo it.

Short, yes, but very cute and well executed. The only reason that I took off a point is that it doesn't really do him justice. Sure he made Mario, Zelda, and DK, but he could have gone through more of his games. IIRC, he created StarFox, F-Zero, Pikmin, among others.
And to Dimazor24, he did not create Metroid, so it wouldn't fit in here anyway.

I was planning to include Pikmin, Yoshi and F-zero, but did not have the time. From my research, I don't think Miyamoto created StarFox, but I could be wrong. I'm glad you're still able to enjoy it though, I hope to make a sequel paying proper homage one day.

I really enjoy these coordination and multitasking type games. In this case, however, I think my favorite part was the music.

But the whole "Dodge falling shit for as long as you can" thing has been done to death. Nonetheless, the character's expressions are priceless!
And for future reference, 1. It's only Magma when it's INSIDE the volcano. After it erupts, it's lava, and 2. Neither Magma, nor lava (before it is cooled at least) are as solid as they appear in this game. The only solid things right out of a volcano besides lava that cools quickly are volcanic bombs. But since you named it for the sake of alliteration, I'll let it slide...

I'm a huge fan of these rhythm/sidescroller hybrids. To be frank, if I had more experience in making games, I'd definitely make one myself. I especially like the use of black and white; it makes the game very simple and steady. The industrial setting really fits the music. I'd really like to see more of these from you in the future.

That's my best!
This game is not only addictive, it's also hilarious! You should definitely make more Twin Hobo games!

Opening- The inclusion of the Rabbid dressed as a Chao is an auto Vote 5 from me! 10/10
Menu- Just awesome! Very well drawn and great transition between the characters. 10/10
Scene 1- Normally, I'm not very into the whole "Shipping" thing, especially with Sonic characters, even if this is a parody, but I found it to be very funny! 8/10
Scene 2- Lol! So true. DEVIANTART!!!!!! 7/10
Scene 3- The fluidity and abruptness is what makes it funny! 9/10
Scene 4- Personally, Silver is probably one of if not my favorite Sonic character. Nonetheless, his characterization here feels frighteningly fitting. And Sonic's reaction is just priceless. 10/10
Scene 5- Big is my least favorite character in the series, but since it's clear you were making fun of him, you get my favor. Also, what's that button in the bottom left corner that takes you to the next scene for? 7/10
Scene 6- A good punchline, but the coloring feels a bit weird and Knuckles voice feels odd here. 6/10
Scene 7- What's this song from? Oh, and thanks for the M. Bison cameo! 7/10
Scene 8- Probably my favorite scene. When Big looked under Amy's dress, I just couldn't stop laughing! 10/10
Scene 9- Yeah, I've wondered that too. Come to think of it, why is Sonic slower on foot in Sonic Riders? 8/10
Scene 10- I've seen the original scene on YouTube. A good parody of it. 7/10
Scene 11- Meh. 4/10
Scene 12- I can see it now: Sonic the Hedgehog: The Musical! Definitely a very original idea! 10/10
Scene 13- Funny art style, but I think Benny Hill would've been better suited than Tiny Tim. 6/10
Scene 14- Also quite hilarious! A great recreation of the Frogger setting no less! 10/10
Scene 15- Funny idea, but it's not really... Sonic-y enough to fit in with the rest of the collab. I mean, you could've put anyone in Sonic's place here and it would really have been the same thing. 5/10
Scene 16- I miss those guys. Bonus points for nostalgia. 9/10
Scene 17- Um... what? 4/10
Scene 18- Didn't see an LoZ reference coming! Seriously, these are hilarious, you should make some flash series following the antics of Big chasing Froggy everywhere! 10/10
Scene 19- A little drawn out, but really funny nonetheless. I lol'd at "The More The Merrier" and "Get a load of this!" 8/10
Scene 20- Ah, the classic Sonic Sez. I rofl'd when Sonic slapped Tails! And the GI Joe thing was funny too! 8/10
Credits- Pretty funny antics, that's all I can say. 7/10
Tails Doll- I fucking shat bricks. TO ALL YE WHO WISH TO FIND THIS SCENE, CEASE YOUR SEARCH AS YOUR MIND WILL BE WARPED FOR LIFE!!! %u221A-10/10 (FYI, that's an imaginary number. my mind is so warped from that I can't give you a score with an existant number.)

I guess what makes this game unique is that the credits are more entertaining than the game itself- a feat that has never been accomplished before, but Portal was pretty close. :)
Great song BTW.
