Probably the best sprite movie ever.
Or atleast pretty close. Great use of sprites, good background music and even voices. Pretty funny too and a plot worthy of being in a real Mario game.
One thing, where'd you get the music for the woods section right after Mario gets shot out of a pipe from? Sounds familiar...
It's from Super Mario RPG for the SNES, it's called:
"Beware the Forest Mushrooms" - Super Mario RPG
Its a great!
This is one of the better sprite animations of Newgrounds. Very fluid and smooth. I liked how you also editted some of the sprites so you had your own ideas in it as well.
The voices were okay. You should be really proud of your voice actors, because they really boosted the quality of this flash. The sound effects were good too. As was the music. Neither interfeered with the animation running as smoothly as it should do.
The innocent violence that is always associated with Super Mario was also there. It was nice to see you kept in tradition with Mario, put in a bit of violence for those who demanded it and still kept it suitable for everybody.
The menu was also nice. It was even animated to a certain degree! The Menu button at the bottom of the animation as it played was also good too. I suppose somebody must have found it useful, or will do.
The jokes were also quite good. For instance when Luigi thinks he is going to be the hero, but he was only going to be asked to baby sit. This also kept in tradition with SUper Mario, but this time with other parodies, by making Luigi get angry at not being the main hero.
I really hope to see more sprite work from you. This is really awesome. I also see a little room for development in your humour. Some of the jokes were a little over used by other animators.
w00t another long review.
Oh trust me, I am extremely proud of all my voice actors and my friends who helped me with the sprites and everything else.
Thank you, I'd love to hear more from you in the future.
Sprites movies with ACTUAL VOICEOVERS! O.o
Yeah, I mean, I don't mind watching sprite movies when they don't use other peoples voices, but it's always good to see something new, and you've definitely brought it into this flash movie. :D
Excuse me if I misspell the peoples names that i'm about to mention, but I couldn't see too clearly through the sand text. O.o
Well actually, lets start off with that. MajinPiccolo, that was definitely a great job on using your sprites like that, and you made their mouths move with the stuff that they were saying (Yeah, some flash movies just don't like to sync their audio). Fantastic way of showing off your flash skills. :D Plus, the custom animation itself was definitely great, like the one I mentioned earlier, the sand text.
Dmac, I think, did a great job on the voices of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi..... but, I did have one problem though with it. It didn't seem like he was too enthusiastic in his voice (Now for Mario, I could understand with the monotone voice, due to stupidity, but for the rest, it just seemed like there was no emphasis on the voice during the whatever situation they were in). I mean, sure, he did put some effort into it at some parts of the movie, but some of the time, he lacked the power to keep his voice going on as the situation was either getting more serious, or more .... uhh.... lazily. However, I will definitely give him mad props for the lines that he said, for ACTUALLY DOING voiceover for these sprites, and for giving it that somewhat, italian, accent. xD Actually, I think he played toadsworth the best. :D
Kirbopher definitely seemed to be into his character. :D Wart was a criminal that was willing to even throw out his own comrades that pissed him off, and Kirbopher voiced him well. As he got angry (or was suppose to get angry), so did Kirbopher. Great job. :D
Now, I have to admit that, although, CZBacklash did indeed have the potential to have a great voice for badguys, he lacked what DMAC lacked slightly, enthusiasm. Well.... he actually seemed to play Eerie well, i'll definitely give him that, but on Mouser, while he was falling, or when he was coming to push Wart through the door, the voice for mouser just didn't seem right. But still, definitely a great job on having that sinister criminalistic voice. :D
However, I do have to admit, i'm saving the best for last here because Lalara (.... sorry if I misspelled her name, I can't see the sand text. :( ) was definitely by far one of the best peach voices i've ever heard in any mario flash movie ever. I was laughing as she explained to Mario the situation, and Mario didn't even listen to a thing she was saying. xD She played her part like a pro, and I couldn't of asked for anymore than what she gave us, although if she does add more, that'll be even more fantastic. :D Superb voicing, Lalara.
The storyline was pretty good. I mean, i've seen something like this before already from other mario flash movie creators (maybe it wasn't a golden mushroom, but it had to do with some one thing that was really important), but the humor you put it into it was great. It's humor that probably many have seen, but with the voices and different kind of sprite using (yeah, i'm not sure why, but i've never seen sprites that had luigi's mouth open that wide), it made the humor pretty great.
Overall, definitely new, definitely unique, and definitely has a future going for it. I believe if you keep on making any kind of flash movie like this, with these voices, you'll make even better flash movies than ever before.
I really hope I do see more of your work because it was definitely worth watching this flash movie.
Very...long...review... I love it when people review my movies this thoroughly.
Okay first off, thank you. I spent a lot of time into putting a lot of detail into this flash movie. It was so fun to make and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Second, I agree wih the Toadsworth thing. He did do a great job with him, but I gotta say, DMac did an amazing job with all his voices, in my opinion.
Laura is her name btw, and I agree. She did a superb job at Peach's voice.
Thank you, I'd like to hear more from you on my future movies. A true reviewer right here people. Read and learn a thing or two :)
That was very funny!
That was so damn funny. Luigi's character was the best. It was awesome, I hope you continue like this!
I'll try to ^_^, thanks.
Hilarious!
Wart: What ARE you?!
Mario: A plumber. SMACK!
LOL!!
"Eat-a-dis!"
