And Mario Brothers 3 is the champion of the winner's bracket! So much for all those who said "Super Mario World" should have been the game of choice to represent Mario, SMB3 did just fine on it's own.
Now we get to see who has any chance of competing... Note that Final Fantasy III (VI) got it's bust vs. Super Mario. Tetris and Super Mario Kart have one more bye.
Contra was busted by Mike Tyson's punch out by ONE vote. That's right folks, 279 votes, 139-140.
Ok, since we have a bunch more small field matches to finish off the Loser's Bracket, they will only run one day. And I'll add a special interest question to each thread for the next few polls.
Here is the link to the full bracket.
