Mushroom Kingdom Fusion - Crazy Mario Crossover Platformer

I never thought I'd see a fan based game(s) such as this, it's crazy but in a good way.

Well how about the ability to play a Sonic level but with Mario, or a Mario level with sonic, yes it's the crazy I was talking about! This is a true genius of fan based game development and a Platformer game that has to be played.
