The Falcon Punch was so massive and powerful, it caused a dimensional rift, and thus the story was reborn as an Elseworlds story featuring a Nintendo/DC amalgmation (Mario is Superman, DK is Batman, Link is the Green Arrow, Pit is Hawkman, Kirby is the Martian Manhunter, Pokemon are the Green Lantern Corps, Samus is Wonder Woman, Star Fox are the Blackhawks, etc.).
