Reviews for "Mario Brothers - Part V"
Brilliant!
5/5
The long-awaited and brilliant conclusion to an epic. Definitely worth the wait. And I'm very picky about giving out my 5's. :)
The thing I love most about your whole series is the use of music. Your musical choices are absolutely perfect and help create the mood you're going for. Even when the songs are from different films, you manage to blend them together seamlessly. I have to give you credit for your audio skills. The same goes for the sound effects - you know exactly when they're needed and when they're not.
The graphics are a step up from the previous installments. I could see the extra effort with the lighting and effects. It's amazing that you didn't resort to making custom sprites - but somehow the simple nature of the characters and their animation still works. I'm a little disappointed that you didn't use the Toad sprite from SMB1 (the SMB2 sprite looks a little out of place), and the lack of animation on the Princess is noticeable. Maybe a few custom sprites would have helped here. It's not a big deal - I'm much more interested in good stories and characters than fancy sprites.
The plot unfolded the way I expected it to... for the most part. I won't give away the ending here, but it was definitely very unexpected. (I will say, I was waiting for one of the Toads to walk up and say "Our princess is in another castle!" I think that kind of twist ending would have really worked.) But you stayed the course, and I applaud that. Excellent, excellent work.
Now the big question is, what will you do next?
Front Page this!
It's been a long time from the last series as good as this. It was decline. Now! This is almost better than it! Keep up the good work!
Good, but made me sad..
Very good flash, but it made me bit sad.. That ending was the scene, what made me sad.
ELECTRIFYING AND POWERFUL CONCLUSION!!!!
Without a doubt, this one was probably THE best in the whole series! As usual, the sprite animations were very good and the action was nicely executed! The musical score was also very effective and blended in well with the movie! The pipe chase scene was very thrilling and had me at the edge of my seat. I honestly thought that Mario wasn't going to make it! I especially enjoyed the final confrontation against King Koopa and his army of koopa troopas! I can tell that this one probably took you weeks to complete! Lol! Additionally, the ending was very tragic and ALMOST made me cry! :'( I'm so glad that we finally have the exciting conclusion to "Mario Brothers" along with the previous episodes too! Now we can go back and watch 'em all in order anytime we want! You and Randy Solem have have truly outdone yourselves by showing us the more darker side of sprite movies! EXCELLENT JOB, PHANTASMAGORIA_CROW!!!!
