They totally should bring this to the Virtual Console. Who's with me on this one?

Well you fooled half a dozen people at your own forums, it seems. In fact, none of them have openly caught on yet.
Also, in terms of work put in, that's always the heartache of April Fools jokes when you go all the way. For my site, I replaced the look and content to match a blog as opposed to the normal structure for April 1st. It took awhile, but probably no where near as long as creating all of those maps you did.

But as a compliment, which I'm pretty sure that was, thanks. The Link's Awakening map was made MANUALLY (copy and paste, copy and paste, copy and paste), before Revned (a regular on my site) created a tile-replacement tool which was incredibly instrumental in getting Super Kid Icarus done on time. There were still a lot of manual tweaks in Super Kid Icarus's case, so that's why that took a whole month to do.

Or maybe if you tried to fool people who weren't Nintendo nerds. But I suppose Nintendo nerds would be the only people who would care. Catch-22.

Next year's joke is already planned, in fact it was planned for this year but a month earlier it was deemed to be too big so we postponed it and I made Super Kid Icarus alone and from scratch in a month's time. We should have plenty of time now to make something that would fool people, but as wandering said, I can only fool fans of the series and fans of the series would certainly know better. >_<
