I WILL BE ABSEILING DOWN A 23 FLOOR BUILDING WEDNESDAY

Basically, rappeling in a very controlled fashion down the side of a building downtown Regina for charity (Kids Easter Seals). I was called in last minute by my dad. Someone dropped out so my dad called me to fill the void (my dad has been planning to go for weeks and raising donations and whatnot - I'm just doing this for fun).
Anywho, I need a superhero idea! It turns out the theme is superheroes. My dad is going as "Mr. Anderson/Neo" from the Matrix. I don't have ANY hallowe'en costumes handy (I just moved and I think I threw any I had out - which is too bad because I had a sweet Darth Maul suit). So I need a superhero idea + a theme song that they will blare out as I make my descent.
My current plan is to go as Mario, because it will be easy to find overalls, a red shirt, white gloves and a red hat.
Incidently, does anyone have a good quality recording of the overworld theme from the original Super Mario Bros.? Or even a catchy souped up version?
Any other ideas would be welcome. The obvious ones like Spiderman, Superman and Batman have been taken.

I'd go with Mario if you can find all the stuff for him, but use Link if you run out of time or something. Either one would be great to descend a building as (even if neither one has much to do with it).
Iron Man!!!
Other than that, link would be kind of cool, using the old hook shot!
Man, I want to do this!

My sister recorded a video. I went down with my dad (I'm the fat dude in green).

Me with my fat ass hanging over the edge.

Me walking down with my dad above me.

My dad bounding around like a loon.

Near the bottom.

(I'm the dude in the green "tunic").
It was 260ft high. Great view!

Awesome stuff.
