There’s a new Tyrant in town and his name is Thomas the Tank Engine. 

The latest and greatest in the seemingly inevitable line of Thomas the Tank Engine mods for the Resident Evil 2 remake has arrived — and while its existence isn’t surprising, its application couldn’t be more perfect. 

The collaborative mod, created by developers ZombieAli and DJ Pop, replaces the wildly terrifying Mr. X — an unkillable creature that chases you for portions of the game — with an equally horrifying and tyrant-sized Thomas the Tank Engine.

Modders Trenavix, Waschpenner and Shyguyhex have thrown favourites Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie together — and it works pretty damn well. Using the SM64Paint program, the modders have dropped your ol’ pal Mario right into the “Spiral Mountain” level of the game usually inhabited by an agreeable bear, Banjo, who carries his bird best friend around in a backpack (that lazy Kazooie).

BK’s collectable musical notes have been replaced with Mario’s red coins, and enemy Goombas and Shy Guys have replaced Spiral Mountain’s usual cohort of aggressive carrots and cauliflowers. But it doesn’t stop at the intro level — the modders have appropriated a large portion of the game. Read more…
