Nicely done, but a few issues...
4/5
I was pleasantly surprised by many elements of your animation. I thought it had a nice sense of pace and style and the music worked really well. I also appreciated the use of custom sprites. They were well done and a much-needed break from the norm.
Now to my annoyances. :)
I recently had a mini-rant on the NG forums about common things that annoy me in Flash cartoons. Your cartoon is a good example. First of all, I am so sick of Mario movies, especially ones that take place in the world of SMB and feature large-scale battles and major character deaths. It is getting old fast. Yours, while done well, sadly falls into that category of "been there, done that".
Second, I'm tired of overly long credits. Yours weren't *too* bad, and at least there was that last bit of animation at the end. But still, credits should be kept to a minimum. Most people won't sit through them.
There were a few minor technical issues as well. The rain effect seemed off to me. And the Toad sprites looked like they only had one eye - was that supposed to be a side view? But, like I said, these were minor issues in an otherwise excellent animation.
I really enjoyed this, as well as your previous work. I just hope you can find a new twist next time, or try something from a different game again. (I mean, you did a Clu Clu Land cartoon! Now *that's* something you don't see every day!)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, even with the few annoyences. I have to agree with you on the 'been there, done that' factor. SMB movies have been done to death. The long credits thing, also, I hate seeing in a movie unless it's for a reason. I do have a record of having long credits (Megaman's Massacre for example) but this time it was becuase there was an extra little bit afterwards. The rain is just really a lot of lines that loop, I might make sprited rain for future movies, and the toad sprites, yes they're ment to be a side view.
Thanks for the review.
Ho-ly fuck....
that was amazing! is it going to be a series?
Nice job!
I enjoyed this movie, Psy. I remember watching 1-4 Mario vs Bowser last year. I love how you made the characters and fighting scenes. I also liked how you made bowser back from the dead, although that gives me the creeps to see what he looks like. I also enjoyed the sad ending part where Peach was killed in action. Now it'll probably be "3-4 Revenge", or something like that but that's me. Above all, good job making the sequal, and I hope you finish the other part soon, if there really is. Idk.
5/5
