I hardly ever draw fanart, but after an exceptionally splendid artist by the name of Zexyz (whose work you should seek out on the InformationSuperBusLane as a matter of principle. Go on, do it now. I'll still be here when you get back) planted an idea in my brain about a bunch of Nintendo characters knocking seven shades of sushi out of each other, I simply had to let it sprout into the picture above. Videogame villains hardly ever get to win against the heroes, so I thought it was about time for some payback.

From left to right, the characters are as follows: Bowser (who really shouldn't need any sort of introduction, quite frankly), Pimple (the biggest of the three Battletoads), Big Blag (a giant rat, and one of the Battletoads' main villains) and Donkey Kong (the famous barrel-lobbing ape bloke), and also Zexyz (the fangy chimera guy in the background), making a guest appearance as the referee. Here we see him attempting to maintain order in his own inimitable style.

This was drawn entirely in graphite pencil over the course of several evenings, and made at least two of my fingers drop off. And if anyone from Nintendo is reading this, it’d be just super if you didn’t sue me or anything. Ta!
