Contest: Win a code for Madballs in Babo Invasion for XBLA photo

We have five Madballs in Babo Invasion codes to give away! All you need to do to win one is use a photo editing program to create your very own Madball creation. Master Chief, Phoenix Wright, Hatsune Miku, Mr. Destructoid -- any character or person can be used to create your Madball freak of nature.

If you're not sure what a Madball is, just look at the header above or at my preview for the game to get a better idea. Or better yet, go download the demo! 

Your image needs to look like it could fit into the Madballs' universe, so no body parts. Just a face on a ball thing. You have until Monday, July 20 to submit your entry in the comments below. We'll be judging based on the funniest or most creative Madballs creation. 

[Reminder: Contest ends tomorrow at midnight!]

I really need to find the illustrated Madballs fanfic I wrote in elementary school. Something like "Madballs are rad, Madballs are cool. One Madball rode a skateboard to school."

I keep forgetting that everyone knows how to use image editing programs because we all need to use them.

Madballs is the most fun I've had on XBLA in months! I would say to those that have yet to try it, go download the trial, and if you don't like it, well, I'll personally give you your money back.

Can it be made with pixel art? It's the only thing I'm half decent at...
Also, is the code only valid for the US version? Or are code valid for all regions?

I found this image years ago, whether it counts or not I do not know. Regardless, it is epic and needs to be shared.

@Puppy Licks: A friend of mine has that soccer ball! It was promotional for Mario Strikers, but I'm not sure how she got it. It's fun to deflate and wear as a hat if you feel like being eaten by chain chomp.

I don't know why, but every time I read the title of this game I read it as "Meatballs". So not cool.....

Yeeps, I made this earlier today but had to work late and almost forgot to submit it!!

Hopefully I make this in under the wire. Imagine playing Madballs with Billy's colossal noggin--my hero immortalized forever in a video game about one of the coolest 80's toys!
