Minigame Competition #17, What if Shiggy made Pong, Breakout & Co.

Congratulations for ultramario for getting the second place in Minigame Competition #16, congratulations for the other three who made it into the top five and my big respect for everyone who even made a game for the last competition:
TEN entries, a new record.

I hope that this new competition theme will just be as funny as the previous one, and also have a similar amount of entries.

The Topic:
What if Shigeru Miyamoto worked for Nintendo before 1981 (Donkey Kong Arcade)?
Take any game that was released before Donkey Kong Arcade and Mario-ize it.
Insert Mario characters, add Mario elements (gameplay, not just graphics), etc.
If possible, keep the graphics stlye of the original game, but this is not necessary.

Example: Take Pong and add items à la Mario Tennis.
Other games that just come in my mind right now:
Pacman, Jumpman, Space Invaders, Breakout .......
If you need more games, just look at the internet.

Rules:
- Team up with whoever you want, maximum: two persons
- There is no limit in who many times one game can be used as a base. Two or three Pacman games are okay.
- The competition will end Sunday, the 24th of September.

Good luck.

No. Just take the basic idea and add Mario elements.
Mario elements in terms of GAMEPLAY that is, not only graphics.

Good to know. I´ve already got an idea.

But 24th august is tomorrow

whoops. September.

Thank you for creating this, this gives me very nice idea's.

I got very nice idea for this!

I have many ideas. Now all I need to do is get some atual work done. I might not get finished though (due to laziness).

Entering, if none mind...

By the way, if anyone tries to claim my other idea, I will PM you about it. I want it to be special, so currently:

Hmm...Sounds fun!

...I already have an idea...No, wait, I'm thinking of Ritz crackers. Oh, wait, no, I have an idea.
SPACE INVADERS!

here is my entry(subject to change and not final entry that is): http://www.uploadtemple.com/view.php/1156356371.zip

With something as bland as Pong, you need more to spice it up. Otherwise, you get a lame game.

well I'm planning to add mushrooms that change Mario and Bowsers size.

That...Wasn't good. You need to work harder on your games. Use AT LEAST a week of your time to make an at least semi-fun game. And please, don't make the game quit when you lose or win. It's annoying.
