Play as Metroid, Zelda, Contra, Castlevania or Mega Man in Super Mario Bros.!

Only momentarily, and so does everyone else's.

Nuh uh. Samus has the only gun that stuns (unless you count fireflower Link). I like her better than Bill 'cause her jump is a lot more controllable (once Bill is angled, he can't go straight down unless he hits something). Bill's power-ups turn him into an engine of destruction though. Overall, Megs just seems the best for most things. He doesn't really have any weak points.

Simon's a lot more fun in underground levels where you can just completely obliterate all the bricks in his path. He's so damn slow though, even when I do well with him, I find myself running out of time.
