Stabbed in the back by your own brother.

I spent some time looking for this to make sure I did not just imagine it, i actually watched it back in elementary school 20+ years ago and for some reason came up in my head again, is not exactly how i remembered, a lot more violent then my memory served though it stuck with me despite all these years, neat to see it again.

For an animated cartoon parody of Super Mario in 2001, not too shabby.

The visuals, although good for it’s time, don’t really hold up very well, especially in HD. Could use a lot of cleanup. I believe some of this was traced from official Mario artwork, to keep it accurate to the source material.

Speaking of source material, this is based on the Super Mario cartoons, mostly the SMB3 iteration. In this, Luigi takes over the Mushroom Kingdom, betraying his brother. This was before even LegendaryFrog hit the scene.

If you’ve watched anything from the late Randy Solem, who was prominent around the same time, you should check this gem out.

I first saw this video back when I was 7 years old. This was the first time I stumbled upon Newgrounds. I completely forgot about it until a few months ago when I was talking about flash cartoons with a friend. The animation looks a lot different than from what I remember but it's still pretty good after all these years.

Ehhh to be honest, this video was so-so. What I only dislike about it was when Wario and the Toads were killed and there is graphic violence, but other than that, it was alright.
