I saved the pdn (Paint.net's psd), so suggestions are welcome.
Here's a preview:
...

I'm also considering one for Super Mario Advance 1-4 now that I got Yoshi's Island to complete the foursome.

i like that very much!
(even though i still hav never played those games)

its gives it a very "artistic" feel when mutiple spines make a big picture.
(like lumberjack's NES megaman covers, so awesome)

Yeah, I ♥ combined spines making a bigger thing. They look so nifty.
edit - For people who've actually played the game(and like it enough to own it), which looks better? Objection! or no Objection!

I prefer the "no objection" one. Definitely looks cool!

I think this looks great. The uniform look is enough to make me want to change the spines of all the series of games I have.

Any ideas for a Super Mario Advance one? I'm drawing a blank.

I'd love to see custom spines for the Super Mario Advance series.  That would look so cool on my shelf!

i was looking for a good group shot of mario, luigi, peach, yoshi, and bowser, but i couldn't find any pictures of them all together, let alone one that didn't look 3-d that would look weird on the side of the boxes. I do like the phoenix wright custom covers, i love the games, and the big picture over the spines is a great idea. It reminds me of all the old nintendo power magazines that would print different parts of a new game release on the side. like legend of zelda and banjo kazooie, so thanks for that :) good luck on finding a picture for the super mario advance games, i do think it would be a good idea to do another big picture-esque thing like you did on the phoenix wright games. again, good work, and keep it up doom.

Maybe you could do something with the image of Mario popping out of the Game Boy Advance.  That'd be cool.  :D

But that's not really something that's in all of the games.

I suggest something simple. Why not take Mario's hat and span it across four GBA spines or just simply use the Super Mario Bros. logo?

mario's hat is a good idea. What really threw things off was Yoshi's Island didn't have a bunch of stuff the others did.

edit: I'm saving space!
No update regarding SMA, but here's a zip of all 3 split into individual spines.

Any requests? I can't think of any good ones to be made into spine-thingies.

That's a really good idea. You should do this kinda thing for a bunch of trilogies:

Mario 1-3 for NES
Mario Land 1-3 for GB
F-Zero Maximum Velocity, GP Legend and Climax
the five GB Megaman games
