This epic series of video game crossovers by BazNet from deviantART depicts multiple elements from pop culture in a retro Donkey Kong level. It is very impressive how well the artist pulls it off.
Some of the franchises and pieces of pop culture include Adventure Time, Sesame Street and Indiana Jones. His series of video game crossovers is incredibly expansive and draws from multiple television shows, movies and cartoons which span over multiple decades. The artist accurately achieves the 8-bit look for each character and element and really creates the illusion that they were meant to be in the image. If someone didn't know any better, they would swear characters like Batman and Luke Skywalker were in the vintage Donkey Kong game.
