Nice battle sequeces. This might be a great idea for a future Mario vs. Sonic battle. Speaking of which, go out and make one!!

A little short this time... Perhaps next time that you split an epsode into two pieces, you will try to get them both about the same length? 5.1 was huge and this one seemed a lot shorter, by comparison.

Right, some of the same issues cropped up again, with some of the animations sequences seeming a little jerky and slightly out of sync with the sounds. Some of the sounds were too loud and they even seemed to have static from "topping out" my speakers here - that's an indication that things needed to be turned down slightly, to give a better impression.

Less text to read in this one meant that the flow was better, but that I suspect was more by luck than judgement. The blend of some voices and other text with the voice omitted just doesn't work for me - there are good voice actors out there, that would be able to supply you with Mario and Luigi impersonations, with varying degrees of success. See what you can find and run with it, trust me.

I'll still give it a shot and say that by and large, this is good. Converting some of the latent potential to actual plus points is where you need to focus your efforts for episode 6.

Well the music used here was rather nice and I noticed Pompeii was also used, I recognize it from the Matrix trilogy too. One thing here I did not understand is why Mario was suddenly naked before fighting Shi once again who wears an Organization XIII cloak for some reason. Then I notice the Bullies taken out by another hedgehog character so I guess there are thirteen of them that they have to contend and battle with.

The sprites are alright but again, the Shi sprite could use less spikes.

I noticed during this episode the text boxes did not have any text running out of them or under them which is good to see this time. Story advances along too so good work there.

Overall, just advancing the story, some good music.

Rip-off what rip-off?

To my knowledge your episode is original sure your using Mechasonic but who cares? You changed the name just need to give him different or more unique attacks. Besides the maker hasn't posted another smbz in years.

rip off ?

by saying "just tell me the part and next time I won't do it again..." your saying you think your own stuff is a rip off =/ imo you need to zoon your cam out, sprite looks better at a distant. Animation was solid enough not enough room in the shot to enjoy it ^^
