How Come Super Mario Comics Don't Suck? 

A definite yes please!

6:14 even has the quote from the end of the trailer

I mean, there isn't much material to take from the games to begin with story-wise, so they don't have much of a choice.

@@MrAwsomeness360 The RPG’s dude. And even then they can take the simple plots of the main series Mario platformers and simply expand on them.

@@Rediscool9 I'm AWARE of the RPGs, but I'm talking about the MAIN GAMES. Even if we were talking about the RPGs, none of them ever cover the story of how the bros ended up in the Mushroom world in the first place either.

certain demon slayer master of using his huge ass sword and god of badassery himslef approves your last sentence XD

Same here!

I like him cause he's dark and blends well with creepiness, i got that from Luigi's mansion.

Green is my favorite color to.

Thanks Mac Russell, you're my favorite character too.

He isn't talking about the Mario RPG spin offs, he's talking about the normal Mario games

+dyldragon1 I'm guessing the comics were a basis for a lot of the personality traits we see from the characters in the Paper saga, especially TYD and Super.

Well SuperLemonadeGamer if he was he should have said something like: “aside from Mario and Luigi and Paper Mario, Bowser is kind of a generic villain stereotype.”

SuperLemonadeGamer he has personality from galaxy 1 & 2 he has Character from odyssey With his dope ass haircut

That’s a special case. A.K.A. A spin-off.

At least we got the do the Mario song out of it

TheMadDogpunk It's not worth it, that show was a travesty

+Dingalow Yeah, you could argue that the only Mario RPG that did not have any kind of interesting story and/or setup was Paper Mario 64, and even that one has its witty moments, even for a beginner's RPG. The Mario&Luigi series is also pretty good when it comes to trying to be fresh in the series.

Yep and although it's the black sheep I'd argue that spm is probably the best story/character development heavy of all of the rpgs. Does it play the best? Not necessarily; it's not even really a true rpg and more of an action/platform rpg, but I stand by it having the best story and characters when it comes to depth and humor.

Speaking of the rpgs, I bet the comics is where the "Luigi dressed as Peach" scene from superstar saga came from

If Yoshi is a Pokemon, what would be the shiny?

TheNintendNub64 He’s pne of those multi-appearance Pokémon like Spinda, shiny just has a different saddle color

Both are Nintendo

That explains the eggs, too

Dragon/fairy type

And now six years later after you commented, your wish will be granted with the upcoming movie.

+Sebastien Olibrice you get a hint of things like that is Super Paper Mario, but yeah there's really nothing quite like it. Peach needs her own game, a proper one this time. I'd honestly like to see her in a brawler or something like that so that she wouldn't just be a female version of Mario, which she's been doing for a while now with the co-op Mario games. Give her some of her Smash Bros moves and let her use her umbrella, and that could actually be pretty fun. They'll never do it, but I'd play the shit out of it if they did.

Android 19 Agreed! They should also let her throw bombs and have a Luigi costume power up and just give her sweet animations so she can go ballistic on several enemies

+Android 19 Super Princess Peach was a great game, the only bad things are the mood swings, it was so annoying. I agree that she should have another game with better gameplay mechanics. A Waluigi game would be great too.

Then they actually tried it. Super Mario 3D Land. Needless to say, it didn't go over so well.

in super mario rpg she does some fighting

lol same :)

So is Daisy!

When was this announced

when I heard about it, I start to came in the comments and say that too

Michael Rhett Viz announced it back in August. Here's the page on their website: www.viz.com/super-mario-adventures

Got it. Yes, there's a rap opening, though I read it in the style of a teacher reading a Dr. Seuss book to her students. Other than that, the comic itself is very very funny

I got it a while back. It's great!

Also, the Paper Mario Trilogy gives him a personality.

Moon Medic I notice that you said trilogy. *crushes Sticker Star with foot*

ryhansen1 I like to pretend Sticker Star doesn't exist, lol

And sadly everyone for some reason neglects the fact that Mario & Luigi exists. ;-;

Unmeltable Snowman I know it exists. Bowser especially has character in BiS

Let's hope that they understand what people like about the comic, because if they don't this can doom the movie. And with Illumination there is a huge possibility this will happen.

This comment aged well.

It was!

Brain... Fart.

Let’s hope it doesn’t end up like the super show

Ain’t they making a movie from this

Yes!

*not. again.*

Agreed

+Oscar Ramirez It's called Super Mario RPG and you should REALLY check it out.

oh, right, forgot about that game...

+invock And Super Paper Mario

I haven't played Super Paper Mario

+invock and Mario&Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story ( just without Peach)

+Joseph Dutra Well, I think for a couple reasons: 1. The fact that Peach is gullible enough to believe she might very well be Bowser Jr's mother, despite the great illogical sense of cross species reproduction and the fact that his dad completely lied through his razor sharp teeth about everything. 2. The voice of Bowser in this game sounds like a drunk Cookie Monster. Harvey Atkin from the Mario cartoons was a much better fit.

Yeah, but there's such good gameplay and boss fights.

+IceManiac Sounds like you were just unlucky. Some copies aren't as glitchy as others.

+F. Kanno that does not make sense a copy is an exact replica if it was a printer low on ink then the quality would show it has to do with the current condition the disk is in if its scratched up it may effect it saying what you said is like eating an apple then eating another apple exactly the same and saying its different because it wasnt a peeled apple

+IceManiac I've played through that entire game about 20 times and I've never had any glitches or bugs. It's possible that you just got an unlucky copy.

They are already doing stuff like that. Heck, there's a few Splatoon manga panels online right now.

I hope you mean Sonic Boom the TV show and not the game cause if you don't then I got some bad news for you.

stuntmen75 oh obviously the TV show.

stuntmen75 sonic boom will only be remembered as a TV show in the future.

They are making a Splatoon manga, does that count?

Well to be fair; I understand where he's coming from. I do like Sunshine. But I won't denied the fact that it does have it's number of problems.

Miqwerty Studios We're two actually and I liked it along to Mario sunshine

Ditto.

I loved it. People always focus on the crying emotion power, despite the fact she uses a parasol like a sword, can heal herself with relaxation, fly around with happiness and create stomping fire with her rage. I have no problems with it. Mario wishes he could do half the thing she does in that game-without special items! Just because it’s emotion power doesn’t make it lame. Hell, half of anime characters get powered up in emotional moments. They just gave you control over it in SPP.

Luigi in Peach's dress is hot too ;)

Hell yeah

Yep

+Lab Matt Sonic The Comic UK was phenomenal.

Archie Sonic is as powerful as Superman

NO YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!!!! NO ONE IS BETTER THSAN MARIO!!!

Squall Leonhart > Mario.

LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nostalgia Critic: Fuck off! What's your name? Luigi: 'uigi NC: Okay. What's your last name? Mario: Mario! NC: Shut up! What's your full name? Luigi Mario: 'uigi Mario NC: Those are both first names! Okay, what's your first name? Luigi: 'uigi NC: And your last name? Mario: Mario! NC: SHUT UP!!! SHU- Wait a minute! Luigi: 'uigi Mario 'n' Mario Mario. NC: {shocked}.

Classic

Sebastien Olibrice Thanks! It took me forever to memorize that.

The Jerk No problem! It's an amazing and classic moment of Nostalgia critic! In fact, he posted the review of that yesterday

Lol I love this XD

+Mario Mario Clearly you didn't get the point.

***** unkownada said it for me

I found that odd too, unless he meant a different comic series

you mean Manga?

+Sir Aaron Rowell Manga is comics. Much like how anime is cartoon.

True

There was actually a short Mario anime

+TetchyEquation and they use the one japanese opening for that X-Men. "SHOCK"!!!!!

Ikr 😂😁

Maybe being kidnapped is just her hobby or something : D

agree!

There's a reason people say asians are smart.

I guess japan should make mario stuff

So we should let U.S. studios make all media from now on.

Videogames were not part of the U.S. culture back then.

Mario OVA ~ from Japan ~ ...it's fine

Jacob Tucker no, peach is actually alot more capable of defending herself than people think. Have you seen Screwattack pit her against Zelda?

Yes I have. Peach mopped the floor with Zelda. I've also seen the Smash History video on Peach's moveset that goes into great detail about her abilities and the various games it's based on. Much like Goofy, Peach is secretly badass, but Familiar marketing always makes us believe she's just a smiling airhead.

+Barrett well, she's still a princess and I doubt Bowser has many human clothes lying around. She gets to wear some business gear when she swaps with Luigi though.

+Charlie Brown its his opinion

***** Well yes I get that but for how he used the example it was like he was pointing out the obvious dud in the franchise. He didn't go into detail as to why it was bad so I assume its because its known as "That bad mario game". Like I were to take Avatar as an example of not being up to scratch I would add the live action film, since everyone knows it was a dud, and explaining it is not necessary. What did Sunshine do to earn this impression that Doug thinks it has, or does have?

oni master I'm not saying its bad that its his opinion, jesus calm down. I was simply wondering why he picked that example when there are so many other Mario games to be able to point to and go "remember that one? Boy wasn't that bad?" He took what I have heard to be a well received Mario games, hell in my opinion the best. Its just a confusing choice. Its like saying something like "And Peter Jacksons Career hasn't always been great" and showing a picture of Lord Of The Rings. Simply confusing. Also no need to bite my head off dude, I never insulted him about disliking it, just simple confusion with the choice. No need to bring up your "PROTECT CRITIC!" flame shield.

oni master While its ok that you find it disappointing I don't believe that is the consensus. For example Mario Sunshine received: GameRankings 91.50% Metacritic 92/100 Eurogamer 9/10 Game Informer 9.75/10 GamePro 5/5 stars Game Revolution A- GameSpot 8/10 GameSpy 5/5 stars GamesRadar 4.5/5 IGN 9.4/10 NintendoLife 9/10 Nintendo Power 10/10 Thunderbolt 9/10 See what I mean? Its reception is more than impressive. Its certainly not the kind of reaction that warrants such a "Oh yea...THAT game" impression that the Critic was providing. And whats so bad about questioning someones opinion on something? Isn't that how debates happen? How you learn about each other and yourself? The only people I think that feel that debating your opinion on something as silly or wrong are the kind of people who can't represent their appreciation well enough. I've gotten into debates about anime before and while I have had my opinions questioned I was able to defend it while learning more about the other person as well as myself.

Brandon Roberts Watch the vid, critic refers to Sunshine as being something of a let down, in a manner that sounds like its the obvious choice for Mario let down game.

Pixar’s writers working on _any_ Nintendo property would be a dream come true for me!

@@matthewjones6786 Good news Pixar has a good relationship with Hayao Miyazaki, they did the localization for Howles moving Castle. Even Pixar's Luca has a Hayao Miyazaki feel to it.

I agree

Reading that last part as an American all I could hear is. NYTHWN

@@Kiteman78 it reads something like "ty lútshij", basically "you are the best"

+2dog14 the funny thing is that there's probably a japanese equivalent to the NC saying the exact same thing about western art styles XD

John David Tibbetts That is rather funny xD

+John David Tibbetts Yeah let me try Japan NC : i dont like these american styles they seem very simple and halfway done the characters are so disrespectful and there is always a forced moral in the end lol

WildManTheGamer and why does steam come out of their ears when they're angry? Why do their jaws drop over the tiniest things? Why would ANYONE howl like a wolf at a pretty lady?!

The Nintendo Power comics aren't a completely western medium, they were a collaboration of Japanese and Western creators

Dumbass >/

*Cough* all the spin offs *cough*

Is that true or is it just a rumor?

Nope Illumination confirmed this is what they will be basing their film off of, which makes me so afraid for when the anti-SJW idiots see Peach kicking ass and think it’s feminism

@@mrcritical6751 I'm as much of an anti-SJW as anyone else, but Christ, they can be a very annoying and obnoxious group that'll seemingly look for politics in anything that may even remotely have a potential liberal idea. They can be just as bad, if not in some ways worse, than the SJWs.

Agreed

Mr Critical do you even know what is the definition of feminism?

Polygon Man do it you won't regret it

+Delia Papion F*ck yes !

Did you even finish the video? He's recommending the comic series, not putting it down.

@@benraven9087 I get that, and I can agree that it's a good recomendation; but my point still stands for other video game adaptations, especially in the movie industry.

@@gabe_gamer9320 First of all: *_"Words cannot describe how offended I am…"?!_* Please don't. Please do NOT act like an SJW and get so easily offended over someone else's opinions. Second of all, where did he say video games and movies in general don't mix? He is specifically referring to MARIO, nothing and no one else. Either you misunderstood what he said, did not watch the video, or you are straight up lying. Third of all, he isn't entirely wrong, though. Both the Nintendo Power comics and The Super Show are the only two times where The Super Mario Bros. franchise have been adapted outside the games with moderate success, the latter of which still have to end up making their own stuff since all the games that existed up to that point didn't exactly leave much to take material from. There was the live-action movie, and look how shitty that turned out. He isn't wrong for asking the question: can Mario work outside the video game realm or not? Personally, that is one of the legitimate concerns I have for the upcoming movie and one that yet remains to be seen.

Maybe he's never played 64?

+Atomic Robo Tesla He's played 64. I've seen some references to it.

+Leokav4est He just showed Mario 64 in the video at 1:53

Jon Plays To him playing or just in general?

Atomic Robo Tesla In general.

It seems like Nintendo hates both Mario and Luigi at this point after all those Smash reveals. Both are underrated, Mario should stop being seen as some psycho and Luigi isn't a wimp.
