Woot!
It's always good to see something from Zeon (Novis) and The Ton' and this rocked!
Reviews for "M+L:Plague of the Stars#1"
A story I actually want finished...
This movie won't be for everyone. If you didn't play ML Superstar Saga or Super Mario RPG, you will not know who half those characters are. However, I have played both and now I wish this would be an actual sequel to the Mario RPG franchise. The story couldn't have been done better. There is only one being that surpasses bowser and that was Smithy, and the idea of Cakletta(sp?) "meeting" up with Smithy is very original.
The sprite animations were done well except for one issue that bugged me. The rendered sprites you stole from Mario RPG looked horrible since you coated them with "ML SSS" style graphics. They don't posess the detail from the GBA game that they should. Croco is a perfect example. There aren't enough shades of purple and he looks a bit too bland. Hopefully you'll have more time to further re-detail your Mario-RPG Sprites for your next installment.
The second big problem I found was that waiting 30seconds for the text to change was a pain. I feel you should add buttons to text bubbles so the viewer can simply click them when they are done reading the text.
The sound used was pretty good. Im so thankful you kept the background music to Mario Bros and didn't venture offtrack and included Zelda,metroid,Matrix,etc themes cause they "sounded cool."
Overall a good addition and I am looking foward to the story in your next episode.
Extremly Original!
When you are tired of Mario getting a gun, blasting luigi and then performing dance moves in Flash Movies, then this is for you. A perfect mix of action, humour and a great plot written by Tonberry to round it off. It could easily fit into a Nintendo RPG! Check it now, you'll love it.
Nice job!
I thoroughly enjoyed this,possibly the best Mario inspired piece anywhere.Can't wait to see the sequel,excellent work!
Awesome Flash movie
Great Flash you guys made. Can't wait for Part 2! Also, the outtakes are teh funny! lol
