In an effort to better wrap my head around the M&M3 system, I'll be taking some Nintendo characters and statting them out. For now, here's my list of go-to guys and the PL's I anticipate building them at...
Super Mario Mario Mario PL 8 Luigi Mario PL 8 Bowser PL 10
Legend of Zelda Link PL 12 Ganondorf PL 14
Metroid Samus PL 12
Star Fox Fox McCloud PL 10 Wolf O'Donnell PL 10
I think that covers all of the games I'd actually care to convert.

Link PL 12? Really?

Adult Link maybe...

Yeah, I'm putting him as Link around OoT endgame, although I might bump him down to PL11.
EDIT: Definitely PL12, the more I think about it. The Master Sword I built for fairly cheap (only 7PP, although there are probably some Advantages that I'm overlooking), but a lot of his other gadgets get higher up in price. The biggest question is whether or not certain things are Devices or Equipment. The Longshot is, obviously, Equipment, the goddesses' powers are Devices (if I include them all), but what about the arrows? I know Green Arrow's bow is treated as Equipment, so that's probably the route I'll go (which would cut down on costs), but I feel like their magic nature makes them a little more than a quiver of trick arrows. Also, Epona's not going to come too cheap for the guy.

I think you're trying too hard to make it faithful to games that arent compatible with system. Also, wasnt there an "Array" to make all equipment laughably cheap? (or else you'll end up buying everything for PL's). Also, shouldnt Epona be a simple mount? No offense to the horse, but its just a horse.

Arrays let you get a lot of powers very cheap, but they can only be used one at a time and the system doesn't have any way of letting you get more than one action/round or circumventing the PL capping system for Attack Rolls, Saves, and Save DC's, so that's really not that relevant.
Plus M&M admits to requiring a healthy dose of GM intervention in character creation.

She's just a horse, but anything that a hero has gets counted into his total. Nightwing pays for his motorcycle, Link pays for his horse. And I would think that, if any of the games would work, Metroid and LoZ would be the best fits into M&M.

I'm anxious to see what you come up with. I'll probably try building Samus (as I often do when learning new systems) and probably Link, possibly Bowser and Ganon if I've got the time.
EDIT: Might also try Twinrova or something, just because nobody else is going to.

I've seen one Link build already, at PL10, although it doesn't quite do some of the things that I'd like to see in a Link sheet (his sword doesn't shoot lasers!!!!!), so I decided to use that as my first attempt. I've been way busy, so I haven't had a chance to get started yet, but it'll be first up.

I am very interested in what you come up with. I would love to play in a Nintendo world such as Mario world etc.

Right? Someone should try to run a game like that on the boards...

I think someone started to run a Mario world game but my CAD didnt make the cut or I missed the deadline. It makes me a sad panda.

(that was me I was being silly, I've made my Nintendoverse game like a billion times, but it always falls apart for various reasons)

Lol, you should try it again. I would be down.

I'm still in a game right now, technically, but the last update took forever for the players to catch up and I'm deciding whether or not I want to try revving my steam back up or canning it.
If I do another one, it's going to be using M&M and will be live.
