    OK, I'm not one for mods but I'm going to try this one out... jumping into the box and getting a pipe bomb out of it was what sealed the deal for me.

    That ending was so perfect that I'd be amazed if it wasn't scripted somehow. I love the level design and will definately have to try this one out. As for the player of the level. WHY DON'T YOU EVER RELOAD!? It's instinctual to me at this point.

    I would LOVE to see Bowser as a zombie. He'd be tougher than a Tank, but probably slower too. And breathe fire!

    A lot of you are missing the point.
    Yes you can emulate NES/SNES hell even the N64 on portable consoles, but that is not the idea.
    The point is simply because he can. And if I could do it, I would also do something similar.

    @DayAlive: You're right. It isn't.
    But what it is, is an portbale SNES, one that won't freeze every half hour, one that you don't have to blow on the cartridges until you have a headache to make it work, one that you don't have to switch cartridges in the machine every time you want to switch a game, what it is is an SNES with the ability to: rewind a game, speed up a game, save and load states, plug in cheats without a game genie etc.
    You're right, my psp isn't an SNES, its a lot better.

    @Showmeyomoves!: nah, it's more like the original gameboy... the nes wasn't all that powerful comparably, whereas the GBA supposedly had as much power as the playstation (sans the graphical output)...
    A snes would be closer to the GBA...

    Nope, the SNES' processor was 16 bit, or lower, while the GBA had something Higher. Nowhere close dude.

    @DayAlive: I see you edited your comment, but you were right when you said the GBA had 32 bit.

    To say that's 'nowhere close' is a bit of an exaggeration, though. In my original comment I was mainly referring to the fact that most (good) SNES games have had either a port, remake or new installment on the GBA.

    @Showmeyomoves!: lol, I wasn't sure whether it had 32 or 64 so I omitted it. :P

    and yeah, I love exaggerating. But you can't change the fact that playing an old school game on a GBA port will not give the same feeling when you play it on a SNES.
    And yes, it's a fact according to me. :P

    Nice mod, but the screen is way to small imo. Not that I could do any better :)

    A for Effort and Theme, but it... ah... doesn't look so high quality. Who am I to judge though, I've never been able to casemod anything beyond 'meltmod' (using a lighter on a console) and 'smashmod' (self explanitory).

    Looks like it just sold on ebay for 100 bucks too. Technabob blog is right, if they had just submitted it to a gaming site or let Kotaku do its 'We don't normally promote ebay stuff' thing, it probably would have gotten a bit more.

    @Komrade Kayce - Hero of Soviet Kotaku: At first I thought the title of this article was "N64 Cake Mod." Because yes, the quality of the build - clever - while looks questionable.

    And somewhat lumpy.

    @Benguin: Its just historical accuracy, back in the n64 days everything was made to look like cake; in nintendos evil plan to make us eat more cake. I would often be playing zelda and think "boy does that link look tasty, i sure could have a piece of cake right now". Some people may say that the n64s games look blocky and quite ugly but that's what happens when your games are made to look like cake. I have never quite understood why they did this until rather recently, they were fattening us up! Then years later with our podgy cake filled bodies we would all buy wii fit.
