I guess technically this goes under “video game fan art”, though the link to Mario VS. Donkey Kong would only be apparent to those that have played the games and studied the art style.

Speed has, and here is the description he sent me to work off of:

“Introducing the first in the Mini Snipe Hunter line of toys. It’s Mini Prof Hazard! Besides being nearly as handsome as the original, Mini-Prof doesn’t have much going for him. He moves and functions pretty much the same as Mini-Mario, but with slightly better attacks. When equipped with the Mini-Hammers, he instead starts firing two Mini-BGGs several steps ahead of himself. And when he grabs a Mini-Flower, he fires a near-constant volley of projectile boxing gloves.”
