A New Look at Mario and Mortal Kombat
What if the "Portal Gun" appeared in other games? For example, in Mario or Mortal Kombat. Nothing good, it's too cheating of a device :3

Portal is a phenomenal game. Valve's developers managed to create a mini-revolution in gaming. To be honest, the idea didn't belong to the company itself, but Gabe was able to see the potential for success and gave a strong push to the project. The concept by students from the DigiPen Institute of Technology appealed to Gabe Newell so much that he offered them a job at Valve right at the game’s presentation, before it even finished. That's how it all started.
The philosophy of portals made many players look at games differently and this (besides the massive popularity of Portal itself) spawned a large number of parodies and musings on the theme of "What if we added a portal gun to other games". You can find hundreds of machinima videos on YouTube that explore this theme in one way or another. This post features just a few videos where skilled creators have crossed Portal with Mario and Mortal Kombat.
