Looking for a fourth classic game; An 8-bit game

My next art project is a deck of cards and I'm making my deck 8-bit themed. What I'm doing is making each suit a specific video games series. So far I have:

Hearts- Legend of Zelda
Diamonds- Megaman
Spades- Mario

I am missing a video game for the suit of clubs and I don't know which old (8-bit) NES game I should do for it. I would like to try and match up the suit with something in the game, like Zelda is hearts because Link's life is hearts. Diamonds are close to zenny, which is the money system in most Megaman games. Spades occur in a few Mario games as well; SMB3 specifically and during fireball attack in SMRPG:LotSS.

So I ask ye nerds, can you suggest to me a game from the days of old that can fit/is appropriate for clubs? Does it have to fit with clubs? No. Would it be nice? Quite. In the end I just need a game. Also, because the face cards will also be based on characters in the game, the game also needs 3 characters; 1 bad guy for the jack, 1 girl for the queen, and the hero is obviously the king.

Thinking about it, I'm considering Earthbound, but I just don't know the game at all. Also, the ace cards will be an important item from the game (Like Mario will be a mushroom, etc.) and I don't know an important item from Earthbound.

Thanks folks.

On SBA...
 
I was thinking Metroid as it is a main series, but I fear there's a lack of characters? I dunno, I've never played any game in the series. I feel the only drawable character is Samus.

FF was another thought as I know that there would be enough people, but what's an important weapon/support item in the game?

Then don't.

Looking at Final Fantasy since if I can find a Phoenix down sprite, then I'd use that as the Ace which works enough for me.

Oh right, characters might be hard to find for Metroid.

1. Change clubs with stars -> Use Kirby.
2. Make Castlevania hearts and Zelda clubs. Or either way, really, since they both have a shit load of hearts.
3. Use Metroid for clubs. Make it Samus' visor upside down.
4. Use Earthbound/Mother for clubs, since all main characters in the series use a blunt weapon (a club, essentially).
5. Bonk? He had an NES game or two.
6. Little Nemo? His candy pieces arranged in the form of clubs?

I'm running out of ideas. But yeah, they all have enough sprites to do whatever it is you're doing.

Thanks Phant, I would agree with Earthbound the most really. I'm torn up between FF and Earthbound now since I now know that all characters in Earthbound use blunt weapons. My only question about Earthbound is what is an iconic recovery/support item in the game? I think my aces are turning out to be support items.

Which leads me back to FF ace, just in case. Which one of these are phoenix downs?

All of them?

Most memorable healing item in earthbound would be the trashburger...>_>

Or maybe the Rainbow Butterfly (even though that recovers PP)?

If you have or know where you can find a sprite of a trashburger or rainbow butterfly, could you post it or let me know where? I don't know what I'm looking for and I don't know how much I trust google images, hence why I asked about the phoenix downs.

Also, I need some ideas for the Jokers. I need two characters, obviously. I was thinking Koutake and Koume. There's two of them, they're related, they have hilarious dialogue in OoT... I think it might work. Thoughts? Other ideas?

How big/difficult are their sprites? As much as I do like Koutake and Koume, I already have the zelda reference.

Going with Earthbound. Mr Saturn will be the Ace. Which is actually pretty apt, because according to my friend you get some sort of mecha suit or something from him in order to defeat the final boss. Without him, Ness would be nothing.

In Metroid, a shadow Samus appears in one game, right? Which game? Worst comes to worst I could probably just recolor a normal Samus into a shadow Samus and then BAM, I have my jokers. I think...
