OMG! This was one of the first series I watched on Newgrounds!! Hard to believe it's been 10 years. SOOO glad to see it back :D :D
Reviews for "Super Mario Bros. Z (Episode 1)"
Jesus Christ! That was fucking amazing!
And I believe the "Have a rotten day" fart beam is a reference to Beat up Sanddbag's finale with Wario.
Simply put an amazing start to something so ridiculously epic. I love how you threw in Luigi's cowardliness but his extreme bravery including how you handled it.
An interesting idea to begin with Mario vs Wario. Quite an impressive fight too!
And now I'm curious, LINK is in this! I WANNA SEE LINK FIGHT!!!
PLEASE ADD IN LINK WHEN EVER YOU CAN AND I WILL BE SUPER HAPPY TO SEE HIM FIGHT IN A MARIO BALL Z STYLE!!!
Great animation quality. Great camera work. Good dialogue and humor that fits the characters. The only negative I can see is the non-stop fighting. It just seemed to drag on a little too long towards the end. Maybe for the next episode gives a little breather between scenes with some character depth and moments before starting another slugfest. Overall a great first episode to kick tthe series off.
I've been on Newgrounds since '98-'99. I never made a profile until maybe this year. THIS INTRO is the most epic and amazing thing I've ever laid eyes on and that Powerglove take on the Super Mario soundtrack tops it. If it were solely up to me, nothing would be able to score higher on this site.
IT'S ACTUALLY FU**ING HAPPENING!
This episode blows the previous versions completely out of the water. The improvement is incredible! I'm looking forward to immensily to seeing the other episodes redone in similar fashion, as well as the introduction of whatever story retcons I rememeber you wanting to implement. And of course, hopefully seeing the show come to a proper end this time!
Looking forward to the next episode, and keep doing god's work! Welcome back!
