Zombies Invade Mushroom Kingdom in Left 4 Dead Mod

[Chicago Ted]

Going on your continued mash up idea I would love to see one of Zombies + Pokemon Arena.

Madden/Fifa and L4D? Instead of supporters, you've just got waves and waves of rabid horde running at you with murder in their eyes that can only see a potential mudhole on you that needs stomping.

Oh wait...

This would make soccer riots look tame.

Quick! Jump into the paintings! That's what I thought at first, it looks pretty cool. I'd play that he he.

I have the 360 version.



*sigh*

according to OXM UK valve are trying to work out a system that lets you get the pc mods on the 360, shouldn't be that hard.

See now, this is just silly. EVERYONE knows that the Princess' castle would be the safest place to be in a zombie attack! None of them could get past the first floor, or heck even through one or more doors because they wouldn't have any stars.

Although by the time you've defeated the Bomb-omb king, the zombies would probably have shambled into that painting, and made getting into something like Jolly Roger Bay almost impos-woah, I need a girlfriend.

Zombies Invade Mushroom Kingdom in Left 4 Dead Mod

If there was one thing missing from Super Mario 64, it was zombies. Thanks to one Left 4 Dead modder, that's no longer an issue.

Creatively dubbed "Mushroom Massacre," [http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=2538] the custom campaign for the PC version of Valve's hit zombie shooter Left 4 Dead features meticulously rendered recreations of the castle from Super Mario 64, only in place of helpful Toadstools, the campaign features shambling hordes of bloodthirsty undead.

Mashups like this have existed since people first started hacking together levels for Doom, but few have the appeal of Mushroom Massacre. Maybe it's my penchant for the sociopsychological ramifications of zombie hordes, or the hilariously dark juxtaposition of Nintendo's cheery world with decomposing, reanimated corpses, but this campaign strikes me as pure genius.

Personally I hope that creator "DoritoClock" uses the success of this work to continue a series of "zombies in inapppropriate games"-themed levels. I'd pay good money to see a swarm of zombies dropped into the whimsical world of Katamari Damacy, or forced to fight for their lives against Virtua Fighter's pugilists.

Honestly, I think Akira could take 'em.
