nice and it was realy funye to

"Penis penis penis penis penis", lmao I was rolling.

This must be one of the most simple,yet fsntastic things ever!
Finally someone who put their time in a fash,not some secondhand shit you see every damn time.

First of all: One does not simply kick pokeys with bare hooves!
Second: Did you choose luna because mario would be the one who gets to rescue celestia?
Third: Some one should Mix AJ's fighting is magic theme with mario athetic.

Also I'm afraid I'm going to dock your score for useless and even unfitting meme references.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good meme reference, but the ones in boo's mansion were poorly timed and executed. With the sole exception of the troll face and heavy voice line.

This is a long animation. Luckily, you broke it up by scenes. Therefore I will start with individual scenes first.

Scene 1: When the ground is shaking, white shows at the bottom of the screen. Luigi's scream is not synced to his skull ripping apart, which seems a bit over-dramatic.

Scene 2: The background tiles don't mesh quite right and leave black space in between. Font kerning on the speech is off and the text is often not in the middle of the bubble. The music at this point is intolerable. It's the same loop over and over. There also shouldn't be a need to include an emoticon in the speech bubble because the audience should be able to tell the emotion from the body language of the character. It's one of the fundamental mistakes in literature, too. You don't need to tell how the character feels when you can show it.

Scene 3: The flying looks unatural. Perhaps some bobbing up and down would make it appear more realistic. Camera movement is a tad slow when moving to the cannons themselves. The cannon which fires cannons is a good bit of comedic relief. Recursion is fun.

Scene 4: There should be some sort of animation for opening the door. The speech of the first and second boo feels tacked on and unecessary. The mouth movement is improperly synced. The nope isn't synced. The ewok/boo hybrid is completely unecessary, as is the troll face. Including memes does not make a flash good. The content makes a good flash. The hat scene is too drawn out, the music doesn't fade out, and Luigi's hair looks exactly like a hat.

Scene 5: The entire scene is long and drawn out. Why does she fix Luigi's hat in Yoshi's chimney?

Scene 6: The thwomp crashing into all of the enemies was entertaining.

Scene 7: Luigi firing himself to the other side of the screen is a nice touch which brings everyone back to the old platformer days when every character way capable of bending space and time just by walking off the screen. The text above the button should be in some sort of sign, as with the other white space with text, as it is probably meant to be a sign.

Scene 8: No major complaints. Still drawn out, but it's good to see a suitable ending to the story. It's also great that you credited the sprite authors and rippers. Many people don't do that.

General: The fades are too long and drawn out. There are too many places in the animation where nothing is happening. No movement almost always kills a video, especially when there's no audio. You could cut some time out of the times when nothing is happening. It feels too tedious to watch.

Many of the animations aren't smooth. Some of the walking and movement animations appear choppy. Backgrounds have gaps and when the camera pans, it's possible to see outside of the animation into the whitespace.

There are quite a few Internet fads and 'memes' and it's best not to get too accustomed to using them. They don't add much value to the animation and should be used in moderation. If the only purpose of a flash is to showcase a fad then it's likely that the real creative inspiration isn't there.

The font kerning and text placement is off in a few places. Ideally, you would use voice actors rather than subtitles, but it's more understandable considering all of the voices you would need for this animation. Lip syncing and sound effects are off in almost every instance. It detracts from the value of a scream if you only see the character's expression move a whole second afterwards.

All that being said, it's easy to tell you put quite a bit of effort into it. A few of the gags were funny. The story's ending is original; I don't believe I've ever seen a sprite animation where the ending is happy for Luigi, let alone he's invited to go off on a journey to save another kingdom.

Continue to improve your animations and make sure to animate something you're proud of. If you can think up a plot that you really want to show people and then you put all of your effort and skills into making it then it will do well.
