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.

You guys should be the Knights from castle crashers! The costumes would be fairly easy because you probably can reuse some of last years costumes. You could also be the knights and/or some other characters from the game!
Be Dr. Manhattan and The Comedian.
The Green Hornet and Kato FTW.


Also I should win because I'm old like you.
Shadow of Colossus, you be a colossus, one kid is the the protagonist and the other is the horse?

Colossus, Wolverine, & Nightcrawler

You be Rayman and they be Rabbids.
great costumes! I feel your pain though...I've been racking my brain for costumes this year. But since you have two sons I would dress up like Olimar and your sons can be the Pikmin...your 1 year old can be the tiny white one.

Just remember not to actually throw them at anything.
You: Ratchet
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.
Head Crab Zombies
Hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... I will need to think about this a bit before I give you an answer ...
Seems like something Zelda themed would work well, like
You: Link
3 yr old: Deku Scrub / Deku Link / Skull Kid
1 yr old: Navi
Going in theme with the prize:

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
Yout older son could be Tim from Braid and the younger one could be a key...You could be....I dunno Tims shadow or Jonathan Blow lol...Man thats a terrible idea
The Three Snakes?

You: Solidus Snake or Naked Snake/Big Boss
3YO: Solid Snake
1yo: Liquid Snake (Long hair, and brown coat)
You can be Dr. Girlfriend, and the kids can be the Murderous Moppets.

Or, Mario and 2 Goombas.

Or, Chrono, Frog, and Robo (the greatest RPG party ever!).
Lostcrichton had my idea, except I was gonna say you should be Bowser and your old lady could be Peach. Makes sense since you all fight for her attention. I don't count though.
You - Shredder
Son #1 - Bebop
Son #2 - Rocksteady

or...

You - Haggar
Son #1 - Guy
Son #2 - Cody
The Lost Vikings.


Your kid can totally grow a sweet beard before Halloween, right?
I'm really surprised no one has said penis yet.

...whoops.
If I win the contest, instead of the SNES, could you just change your avatar?
You could be Bowser and they could be koopas.

They would be pretty cute as Bub and Bob.
Be godzilla and baby godzilla.
Posted in the forums but to save face:

Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Kiddy Kong (or Donkey Kong Jr)
You should be Gandalf, and they should be hobbits.
Super Mario
Mario
Baby Mario
You - Mario
#1 - Super Mushroom
#2 - 1-up Mushroom
you-Dr.Light... no candy for you
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 =)
You could go as tetris.Your outfit would be the incomplete stack, and the boys could go as two of the pieces.
you : the PC dude
3 year old : the MAC dude
1 year old : a little linux penguin

???

stupid :

you : NES
3 year old : SNES
1 year : GameBoy
