Last week, the Internet shared a long, cruel laugh when Bavarian Minister of the Interior Joachim Herrmann unveiled designs for the local police force’s new helmets, which looked a little—what’s the word?—Vaderesque.

Journalists and social media hecklers alike were quick to ridicule the bulletproof headgear, which drew comparisons to Star Wars villain Darth Vader and Spaceballs villain Lord Dark Helmet.

But when redditors in the Photoshop Battles community saw photos of the designs, they knew they could take the joke much, much further.

Speaking of Bavarian turtles, if you’ve never watched the German intro to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, now’s probably as good a time as any…

Reddit user fizzchillaatwork must’ve been on shrooms when they turned the police helmet into this fungal fedora:

But the fungus-inspired photo-editing didn’t stop there.

After fizzchillaatwork dropped that haunting image into the Photoshop Battlefield, the shroomerang came flying back—with this gif from user funny-lookin-stain:

Somehow, all these creepy mushroom caps managed to make user blue_awning hungry. Luckily, the seasoned Photoshop pro had just the right bowl sitting in a kitchen cupboard:

Impressive. Most impressive.

But while blue_awning chowed down on dinner, user Klosetto was busy stealing dessert—with this Mario-inspired Photoshop that really took the cake:

And everyone knows that nothing beats a Police Goomba and a head of state coming out of a warp pipe. Even if some redditors took issue with the coins:
