So I got this extra SNES, it has one controller and Super Mario World and Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure that needs a home. And I need idea's for Halloween costumes for me and my sons.
I can come up with a bunch of ideas that involve two of us, but having it be a trio makes my brain hurt. This is the first year that all 3 of us will be going. Last year we were King Arthur and the Black Knight. Year before we were Obi-Wan and Yoda.
The costumes:
- One for me, one for my 3yr old son, and one for my 1 year old son (taking our different sizes into account)
- Should be in some theme, (ie they work together as a whole)
- Be geek related, games, movies, etc...
- I am willing to make them (if they can't be bought outright), but nothing too difficult.
The rules:
- Post a comment with your idea (links/pics might help)
- I will pick the best one, or the one that sparks the final choice
- This will go until Sept 1st.
- I will Announce the winner that week
Terms & Conditions... Come up with something good or you will be publicly flogged
I will post follow up articles, just to keep the ideas flowing and fresh.
Also I should win because I'm old like you.
Colossus, Wolverine, & Nightcrawler
You be Rayman and they be Rabbids.
Just remember not to actually throw them at anything.
3 year old: Clank
1 Year Old: Captain Quark
Alternately (better size wise)
You: Captain Quark
3 year old: Ratchet
1 Year Old: Clank
I think the first one works better since Quark is whiny and helpless in the games.
You: Link
3 yr old: Deku Scrub / Deku Link / Skull Kid
1 yr old: Navi
You: Yoshi
3 year old: Mario
1 year old: Luigi
Literary theme: The Three Musketeers
Comic Theme: (Justice League) *costumes could be switched for hero preference.
You: Superman
3 year old: Batman
1 year old: Flash
You: Solidus Snake or Naked Snake/Big Boss
3YO: Solid Snake
1yo: Liquid Snake (Long hair, and brown coat)
Or, Mario and 2 Goombas.
Or, Chrono, Frog, and Robo (the greatest RPG party ever!).
Son #1 - Bebop
Son #2 - Rocksteady
or...
You - Haggar
Son #1 - Guy
Son #2 - Cody
Your kid can totally grow a sweet beard before Halloween, right?
...whoops.
They would be pretty cute as Bub and Bob.
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Kiddy Kong (or Donkey Kong Jr)
Mario
Baby Mario
#1 - Super Mushroom
#2 - 1-up Mushroom
3yo-Megaman (carry around the token as candy bag)
1yo-Bombman (so he can carry around a "candy bomb")
you can make it a little sweeter by making bombman look like he got the crap beat out of him, thus showing how megaman got his token =)
