Alvin-earthworm is a god.
You ROCK! I've never really been a fan of dragonball z crap, but this was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! Shadow the Hedgehog + Super Mario Bros. + Yoshi's Island + Dragonball Z = Best flash series ever!
Reviews for "Super Mario bros Z ep 5 (old series)"
GREAT
The fighting scenes are suberb,and I loved the way you brought back less famous Mario fiends,Like the Axem Rangers X....They bring me back good memories of my childhood.(Most of my chilhood was in front of a TV)
Wow! A collection!
Cool! You finally have a Newgrounds collection for your Super Mario Bros. Z series! I guess your flashes were too good for just the Mario parodies.
even better then that last
liked the matrix parody you added. was very pleased with how creative the combat was how the heroes used now only their powers but also their enemies and weapons. hope the next is even better
Somebody get me an Inhaler
This series is the best, and I have yet to even see your newest one, number 6. I don't know what to say. I have tried to make a good flash video that is longer than 1 minute, and then this series catches my eyes, and blows my mind. You make it look so easy, so smooth, so long (Not a bad thing here). I do have to say for a sprite based flash that I've never seen something like this. I saw the first 2 episodes and yelled at my friends on ventrilo, saying they had to watch these. Now we come to Ep. 5 and I couldn't get my jaw to stay up for a single second. It dropped and I think I lost it somewhere under my desk.
Good Points:
Umm...The whole thing
Seriously though
-Graphics: Smooth, detailed, and well animated. Even if they are sprites, they transition so well, and are not pixilated so bad you can't tell what is what either from the zooming in.
-Style: Sprites I have heard are hard to manipulate, but from what I saw you did it like a pro. And a Mario+Sonic+DBZ ... well thats a pretty hard combo to get to flow smoothly, but dang man, you cooked it up perfectly.
-Sound: Well, I kind of cheated here, I have a Dolby Surround at my PC, so the sounds, music, and ambience blew me away. I had to pry my ears of the speakers, they were glued to them.
-Violence: A little more blood or facial cuts and bruising would be nice, but that was some sick stuff I saw. I still can't get over a yoshi eating Luigi.
-Interactivity: Granted its not a game, but I still rate this catagory a ten because (See below)
-Humor: This series has had me laughing so hard, I cant A: breath at all, B: I had to hold my self in my chair to keep from falling out laughing, and C: Was trying to find something to help me breath again. Please man, make more.
Down Sides:
1: Sadly, It is still a sprite video, but you know what, who cares. You did a great job animating the video, getting everything to flow so well, and not be choppy, Don't pay to much head to those people who flame you for "Stealing sprites" and "being unoriginal." You did great.
2: The sprites were about the only thing I saw wrong, but you could use a warning on these somwhere "WARNING, This movie may cause uncontrolable laughter, Breathing problems may ensue, watch at your own risk." I couldn't breath for some of the time.
Personal thoughts
I loved the parodies that you put in there. Some are very obvious, others may need a little digging through the series to find. The TMNT and Power Rangers are the easy ones. I won't spoil the other ones.
Simply put man, I can't wait to see Ep. 6 and the rest of the series you are still making now. Keep these things coming man, my buddies I mentioned in vent keep asking me "is the next Super Mario Bros Z out yet, is it, is it?!?" You have got a couple of new fans over here, so keep them coming man, and dont let people's opinions slow you down or discourage you. You are an artist in your own field, Show everyone your artform, and display it with pride, even if you think they may flame it. Its the one fan that likes it that matters, not the dozens that don't for whatever reasons they may have.
