Getting up on stage in front of an audience is nerve-wracking at the best of times. But what if that audience included Simon Cowell? Yup, in celebration of the UK X Factor and its unending choke-hold on our social lives, we've put our favourite videogame characters up in front of Simon in the style of American Idol and The X Factor.

Not even Dannii and Cheryl can help them now...

That Was Amazing!

Seriously, that was great.

When you showed Donkey Kong and Diddy at the end I just thought 'I'd only be better if 'What About Love?' played, and it did!

reCaptch: topless China, I'll just go google something for a minute...
