1 for effort
This is so long it's not funny. There is way too much reading to do. I wasted years of my life viewing this and you spent a lot longer amount of time making it. I would have liked there to be more audio. The graphics were fine. The storyline was good but the length of the movie ruined it. The movement of the characters were good. The music was ok but it kept replying which made it annoying. Overall this movie was a waste of time. Sorry. But i'm giving you four stars for effort.
It was alright
<SPOILER>
I was liking it until they went down that pipe and got stuck in retro world
It has lost its appeal
I used to like this series around when it started. Now that my standards are higher, well, this isn't entertaining anymore.
The reason for this is that my main appeal to this series was how you animated sprites in fight scenes. Now that this series is on it's 7th episode, the fight scenes are seriously getting repetitive. The action here was pretty much the same action scenes as before, with the same sound effects as before, and some slightly different angles. They just aren't interesting anymore. Although, the 8 bit action scenes were more interesting to watch due to the fact that sprites moved more fluidly. I'm going to assume that you did create those sprites yourself, and didn't just use somebody else's, because if you did, than that just means you downloaded the sprites, imported them into flash, and used them to create a repetitive fight scenes, which doesn't take enough effort.
There was just plainly too much text to read in this one, especially one that just simply boils down to a bunch of clichés. Some dialog I skipped because it's poorly written, and unnecessarily long. It's hard to take the plot and dialog seriously, and it always has. I mean, it's a story crossing the Mario universe with the Sonic universe together. That has always been uninspiring and unoriginal even at the time of Episode 1, but I was able to forgive the plot at the time because of the action scenes. But now your just pushing the cliché level far enough, and like I said before, the action is now repetitive unappealing.
The humor is non-existent, with most of the jokes were based off of Luigi getting hurt and being a pussy. You overdid this joke too much in the series, especially in this episode. Other jokes had also been overdone, such as the overused fourth wall break after yet another overused and not funny joke about "Over 9000". Adding sound clips of catchphrases from TV shows is also not funny. I didn't laugh too much in any of the previous episodes, but this episode desperately forced too many unfunny jokes, which ended up embarrassing itself.
There were some parts with regular animation (rather than sprite animation) and they looked nice (Although unfitting for a Sprite animation) and I believe it shows that you have potential for creating decent regular animations.
I suggest you at least try to make a non-sprite animation for your next flash (one that preferably doesn't involve Mario or Sonic) because this series is getting repetitive, cliché, and old.
HAI LOOK MARIO AND SONIC LOL
This is the first episode of watched, but I was able to pick up the entire plot pretty quickly. The series was recommended to me as the funniest thing on the site, but I found it incredibly poor.
It wasn't the dialogue. I have absolutely no problem with lots of reading in a flash, as long as it's entertaining or funny, which is what you seemed to want it to be. But it wasn't. The whole episode (yes, I sat through it all to make sure I wasn't making an unfair judgement) didn't bring a single smile to my face. Koopas getting squashed by doors? Wario farting on Waluigi? You're aiming low on laughs, trying for the worst grade of humour.
I don't have a real problem with sight gags or gross-out humour, if it's funny. But it wasn't. It was stretched out and dull.
The thing I can praise you on is animation. Yes, sprites aren't that hard, but there were a fair few good shots of the 'camera' panning around 3D characters which were executed well. I'll give you that.
Sound was also okay, but when you're reading the text, you don't want to hear Bowser making the same 'baw' noise over and over again. It's annoying.
I suppose I'm something of a hypocrite, because I don't make good movies. Call me out on that if you want. But as far as I'm concerned, this was just another boring Mario and Sonic cross-over sprite shit that I should have known better than to watch.
Completely overrated. 3/10.
sorry
