	Name: Nario Naruto Character: Naruto Mario Character: Mario Why?: He's the main character! Besides, "Nario" is just a neat name to say.
	Name: Princess Toadsuke Naruto Character: Sasuke Mario Character: Princess Peach Toadstool Why?: Mario has to save Princess Toadstool from King Bowser Koopa, and Naruto has to save (or well, wants to save) Sasuke from Orochimaru!
	Name: Sakur-omb Naruto Character: Sakura Mario Character: Bob-omb Why?: There's both a pink and black bob-omb, showing her inner Sakura? and uh...her explosive temper?...yeah sure, let's go with that.

	Name: Inota Naruto Character: Ino Mario Character: Pianta (Super Mario Sunshine) Why?: Well, I hate Piantas and I hate Ino. So I never took more effort then that to think of a suitable alternate for Ino.
	Name: Shikamaru Naruto Character: Shikamaru Mario Character: None Why?: It's too troublesome...
	Name: Choushi Naruto Character: Chouji Mario Character: Yoshi Why?: Yoshis eat a lot. Chouji eats a lot. PERFECT! And for rolling into a ball? Well, in SuperSmashBros.Melee Yoshi actually incases himself into an egg and rolls at the enemy, so we still have Chouji's signature move. I included actual panties on his head rather then just panty-like headband. And instead of the food symbol on his shirt, it just says food. Cause that's hard to draw.

	Name: Chain-Kiba; Kiba-Chomp Naruto Character: Kiba Mario Character: Chain-Chomp Why?: Chain Chomps actually bark! This isn't very apparent from where ChainChomps started (SuperMarioBros.3), but after the ChainChomp "Bow-wow" from Link's Awakening for the GameBoy, it was more then apparent that this ChainChomp barked. And since Mario64 with neat sound technology, we have been able to hear ChainChomps bark, and making the old SuperMarioBros.3 sounds to clearly be barks! Barks = dog! Kiba = dog ninja! So, Kiba's a chainchomp, along with all the actualy dogs!
	Name: Buzzy Shino Naruto Character: Shino Mario Character: Buzzy Beetle Why?:Buzzy Beetles are the closest thing to an actual beetle or bug in the Mario universe as far as I know. So it's an obvious choice for Shino! But why is Shino black? Well ofcourse he's black! It's been my long running suspicion that the creator of Naruto just didn't have a black skin tone marker at the time he created Shino! So he never actually got his black skin in the show or manga...but he's black in heart! And it shows! So I do Shino justice and draw him black! But why those lips? That's more of a nod to the old Akira Toriyama's black DragonBall style. I would also like to mention that Shino is obviously the reincarnation of the fourth hokage. This probably won't be revealed until the end of the series, so you'll just have to wait.
	Name: Boonata Naruto Character: Hinata Mario Character: Boo Why?: Throughout the Mario series boos have always followed Mario. And if you were to stare straight at a boo it would freeze, cover it's face, and blush. This is a perfect character to portray Hinata since she is always cowering and blushing whenever she is spoken to. Hell, she even goes crazy when she's hiding in the bushes spying and Naruto. So a boo it is!

	Name: Booji Naruto Character: Neji Mario Character: Boo Why?: Well if Hinata's a boo then her cousin Neji must be a boo as well! Plus there's the whole BOOYAKUGAN going on!
	Name: Leegi Naruto Character: Lee Mario Character: Luigi Why?: LEE! LUIGI! LEEGI! (also: green) but if you really want to look into it (and i know you do) Rock Lee is a fan favorite just as Luigi is. They are both under respected. Luigi isn't included in most of the Mario games (Paper Mario, Mario Sunshine, Mario64, etc...) so it's as if he's not good enough to be in the games. Rock Lee tries his best working hard but always loses his battles. OMGAH!? close enough.
	Name: Hammer Tenten Naruto Character: Tenten Mario Character: Hammer Bros. Suit Why?: Tenten throws things. Hammer Bros. throw hammers. The Hammer Bros. suit from Super Mario Bros. 3 gives you HammerBros. abilities. Tenten+HammerBros.Suit=Tenten throwing hammers.

	Name: Temariget Naruto Character: Temari Mario Character: Pidget Why?:A pidget rides on a magiccarpet, and it is the closest thing to Temari that I could figure up. Her fan is like the bonus game from SuperMarioBros.2
	Name: Kankitu Naruto Character: Kankurou Mario Character: Lakitu Why?: Lakitu was the first enemy that I thought of that didn't actually go out and attack you first hand, just like Kankurou. He just sends out a puppet to do the dirty work. So Kankurou is a Lakitu with a puppet-like Spiney he controls! What a coward.
	Name: Gaaranooki Naruto Character: Gaara Mario Character: Tanooki Why?: Gaara's demon is a one tailed raccoon.tanooki's the closest thing to a raccoon. VIOLA! plus he looks oh so cute in that costume, don't cha think? Why the pipe instead of the gourd? Well them's no ordinary pipe! It's a warppipe, transporting sand from DesertHill, it does! For better understanding please refer to this handy little diagrahm:

	Name: Zaboopa Naruto Character: Zabuza Mario Character: King Koopa's minion (Super Mario Bros.) Why?: In Super Mario Bros. for the NES (or GBA, for you newer generations) if you were to kill King Koopa in any castle besides the 8th and last with a fireflower, you would see he transformed into a different enemy, pending on the level! This was because all of these were fakes sent out at you to trick Mario! The true King Koopa throws hammer bros. hammers anyway! SO since Zabuza was the first real challenge Naruto faced, and KingKoopa was the first real challenge Mario faced (we're not counting DonkeyKong for this!), Zabuza is one of King Koopa's minions, disguised as KingKoopa ofcourse. Why a minion? Orochimaru is already Orochibowser!(King Bowser Koopa)
	Name: Hakudo Naruto Character: Haku Mario Character: Birdo and Snifit (SuperMarioBros.2) Why?: A snifit because of the mask Haku wears and the fact he throws things. and Birdo because... Yes. Birdo is a transvestite. This is from the original NES Super Mario Bros.2 instruction booklet. There's an obvious typo with the name, but the rest is 100% accurate, and perfect for Haku.

	Name: Zakupa Trupa Naruto Character: Zaku Mario Character: Koopa Troopa Why?: I like the name! And since he dies really quick...
	Name: Soundblock Kin Naruto Character: Kin Mario Character: Sound Block Why?: She's a sound ninja....and..uh...she doesn't really do much else and is barely noticed and dies really quick soooooo SOUNDBLOCK'd
	Name: Spikey Dosu Naruto Character: Dosu Mario Character: Spiney Why?: Basically he has a big ass spike shell instead of that thing of hay or whatever it is. And since he dies off really quick (much to me dismay) there's no need to do much else. Besides, he has no backstory so there was nothing to work with.
