I love you.
This is the best one so far!! I can't wait for the next one! And I love how you linked the 7 chaos emeralds and the 7 dragonballs and the not-really-a-dragonball-radar, radar. This is one of my favorite series on newgrounds!

just as badass as the others.

Tight!
That was some RAD pixel work baby!
One of the few good sprite series out there.
This series has a very well thought out storyline, using themes from Super Mario Bros and Sonic put together in the the style of Dragon Ball Z. However, its actually better than DBZ series because in the show more than half the episode is spent in characters thinking about their actions and not actually executing them. Your decision to use sprites was wise, making the majority of the episode action (well, this one had a flashback, but the action is good portion of it) and not so much wasting time talking, which you used only minimally, even provided the viewer to option to skip all that mooshy crap.
Also, this sprite movie is original in the action scene, which executes 3D movement (when mario kicks a koopa through the wall and the camera turns to view the back of it) and the fighting was creative every second, and not simple, punch, kick, and throw. The music was high tense, keeping the attention, and loud sound effects to keep interest and shock.
The characters were developed in a similar style to that of DBZ. Goku, who always does it right, like Sonic. The pussy one, (i forget his name) portrayed by Luigi, Piccolo portrayed as Shadow. And mario and yoshi are similar to their video game personas, but fit the storyline anyway. The koopa bros are a typical bad guy in the series who seem to give off the vibe of "these guys are easy to beat up" but are actually tough. Metal Sonic, obviously, the main antagonist like Frieza or Cell. The bald guy (forgot his name) to E Gadd, and princess, like herself.
Not to mention the opening and ending of the episode reminded me of the series.
The choice to not have voices but "ughs" or "urghs" or "Luigi!" instead is wise to have flow.
10+!
I loved it, purely loved it.
The entire thing was great and it both carries on the DBZ and Mario themes well with stuff like the emerald radar(dragon radar basically) but having it in a game boy form like how every handheld device E.Gadd uses is. But the point where this one really outshined the others is the battle sceen. The first movie had a nice 1v1 between mario and bowser with dramatic sceens and the yoshi battle with Mecha Sonic was really good too except Mecha Sonic pwned him. But this one mowed them all down. 4 on 4 battle with the koopa bros. is just great. and finally Luigi showed some initiative. I would have rated it a ten but I probably will never give one out cause there will always be another one better. Either way, keep it up. Also, the look of the holes in the ground was a lot better. Now the pixels don't look so mixed up when from different games.
