Super Mario Bros Z

yea!I bet m.sonic enjoyed riding yoshi's head....like one said already...badass....XD

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I checked this series out a few weeks ago. It's definitely one of my favorite flash animation series. I like the mix of Nintendo/Bruce Faulconer music, although the Nintendo tunes are played far more often. It'll be interesting to see how episode 4 turns out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Freakin' sweet! Check out Episode 4!

It starts out pretty slow in the beginning but it gets better!

Aw, ya beat me with the new ep :(

I saw it yesterday and forgot to post here :D Great ep as usual. Gotta love the Koopa Bros!

I don't think it's a coincidence that Sonic's story was taken from Trunks' future :D

I was speaking idiomatically.

What I didn't like about this episode though was...

Spoiler:

Sonic's friends all getting killed. They didn't have to actually show their demise.

It made me all sad.

Good episode.

The part about Sonic and his friends was actually surprising and adds a whole new level of evilness to Mecha Sonic.

And on to a long wait before eps 5

FELIPE NO

I'm loving this series. These may take months to complete, but you can tell that the effort shows. Sprite-based fighting has never been so epic.

Bonus points for including the Koopa Bros. I thought they faded into obscurity eons ago.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Haha, this is great stuff. The long loading times were worth it. These are really causing some DBZ nostalgia. I haven't actually watched the series in years.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Very cool. The backstory was something else, I can't believe (what vuigun said) actually happened.

The wrong music scene wins, and Luigi is quickly becoming my favorite character. The fight was awesome, but I felt that it took a while before it reached awesome status. I see that it's trying to emulater DBZ's style more and more often, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but still, it shows especially during the first half, and it's also the most redundant half of the fight.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Great new episode, although I think they could've chosen a better music track for the Sonic backstory. Awesome fight scene as well.

Also, the Sonic backstory was very reminiscent of the Future Trunks timeline.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I must admit that I actually want to see the next episode. Although, during the entire Sonic Flashback I was having STH3/S&K memories. I remember the Death Egg!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

And hey, they have some pro wrestling in it as well! All is good...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've been keeping track of this series for some time, and I love it, if for no other reason than the fight scenes. The storyline is... okay, well I'm a complete and utter NERD and even I think it's cheesy, but it at least accomplishes its purpose.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Go check out Episode 5 now! A three way battle is in this one!

Most amazing jew boots

and what is that?

it's amazing what a search feature can do...


anyway nice animation ^^

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Pretty cool stuff. I kinda wish the guy would clean up Mario and Luigi's sprites though. They look alot messier than yoshi's, sonic's, and shadow's sprites.

Aside from that, the animations were top-notch. I'd say it's on par with The Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom flash series.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Great episode. The Yoshi's Island flashback was hilarious. I still think the battle music could be better though, or use some DBZ fighting music. Other than that, it was great to watch and I can't wait until the next one.

Nah, it didn't get deleted, your search was just restricted to 1 month and thus didn't turn up. Threads have been merged and I went ahead and edited the new content into your first post. Carry on.

Yeah, I didn't really think the music matched the battle scene either. Excellent work though.

I had forgotten about this. I saw the first part a while back, but I don't think any of the subsequent parts were out yet. Now that there are more episodes, the quality and hilarity have certainly gone up.

This is MUCH better than DBZ music. Maybe some of the songs from later in the series would be okay, but I'd much rather hear stuff like this. There's already more than enough tying this to DBZ.

Spoiler:

Didn't see the Axem Rangers coming at all. Fucking awesome. I can't wait to see what happens if/when Mecha Sonic gets all the Emeralds. I'm hoping there's a huge showdown in the end where everyone join forces to take him down. Judging from the battle royale in this one, he can clearly pull off the sort of chaos a fight like that would entail.

Kinda late for saying this, but thanks for merging the thread, Encephalon :3

Yeah, it takes a while to make new episodes. It can take the guy months just to make one, but it's worth it I say. It's good to see that he isn't giving up on it yet.

I've known about Alvin-Earthworm's stuff before he started making these and he's a pretty talented guy, so when he first started making these I was kinda surprised since I could easily see him pulling off frame by frame for the whole series.

Then again it's probably better that he didn't, 1st because he'd get hassled to find voice actors most likely, 2nd a frame by frame would take about twice as long if not more and 3rd most of his viewers wouldn't care anyway! You mix Mario, Sonic and DBZ in one movie as long as the storys half decent are they going to care about the animation? (although it is still a prettty high standard here) No chance because it sells itself on the characters game/animation historys alone

Edit: Top rated movie on all of Newgrounds? This is a decent series but I rest my case once someones fanboy mode sets in logic goes out the window

How ya doing, buddy?

it was cool until he implemented the longer storyline and hitting space and all that shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

For those who don't already know, there is preview out for episode 6.
