I Finally Watched Power Star and it's BRUTAL

[@Mairusu]

This Mario Animation is Brutal AND Heartbreaking! How could Mario do this to Peach and his own brother? A really good animation with epic fighting and amazing sprite work! It's wild this is over 10 years old tbh. If you enjoyed then LET'S SEE OVER 2,000 LIKES! and if you want me to react to anything else then let me know! Thanks for watching!

Well will we get more reactions to BFDI, there is still seasons 2, 3, 4, & 5?

[@i_like_videogames9517]

Next up is the Super Mario 64: Classified analog horror. The promo show is a part of it, but begin from the start. There are two seasons. The songs that were part of this analog horror in the Mario Madness mod were Promotion, Abandoned and The End. I think that's all, so I really hope you'll watch it! In my opinion, it's one of the best analog horror series ever!

[@AkumaTh]

In the ending, it was the Boos unpossessing Mario to show him the destruction of everything he loved. So Mario took the brief time to end himself to stop them. Its basically them trying to brag only to lose in the end.

The VA for Mario and Luigi in this animation also voiced Rockoon in T.O.M.E. and RECENTLY voiced Sonic in Sonic Prime! He's come a long way!

[@TogamiBruh]

a lot of online voice actors from the 2000s and early 2010s became famous/did notable roles later on, pretty sure the VA of Joylne from JoJo is Peach in this She’s also in Luigi’s Day Out

[@kaptaink98]

Actually, what happened near the end there my dear Mairusu is that Mario was able regain control over his body just long enough to "exit the game" (to put it lightly 😆😆), so the Boos would *also* "exit the game" before they could do any more harm to anymore of Mario's friends, not unpossessing him, then REpossessing him 😌😌

God it’s even more painful then

@@Mairusutoo bad this wasn’t any Luigi from the Luigi’s mansion series. If it was that’s just messed up if Luigi just straight up watched Mario get possessed instead of pulling out the poltergeist 3000 or poltergeist 5000

[@mcstudioproductions3512]

What's heartbreaking is those who are watching this series blindly could only get devastated by the ending, those who came to watch this series for the first time after seeing the FnF mod however, are gut wrenched from the start. They KNOW how this is gonna end for Luigi.

[@DDDTJ]

Ive defo watched this before

[@doughguy]

basically, in the end, the short moment that Mario was given to see his dead princess an brother was actually taken by Mario to kill himself and commit suicide. The boos didn't expect that, and tried taking over his body once again to stop Mario from dying and keep control of the world, but to no avail.

[@MarioSonic9]

In case you were confused on the ending, Devil Mario (Mario when he was posssessed) wanted to show Mario what he has done to his friends, but Mario took that opportunity to sacrifice his own life so Devil Mario wouldn’t do anymore damage to any other kingdom. In my opinion, that was a bold move from him

[@InspirationForTheHandicapped]

Bold, but worth the sacrifice.

[@Thy_Guardian]

For the ending, the boos let Mario be aware again to witness the chaos to make him feel miserable. But Mario took this chance to stab himself killing him and the boos with it

[@PepperFlakes-o]

If you do plan on watching promo show, watch the rest of the series as well. The whole Mario 64 classified series is really good, but the later episodes do get a little long.

Thanks for checking out the original Power Star. It's a real gem of a flash animation, my personal favorite.

Pleasure hope you enjoyed my reaction

[@Sike1921]

​@@Mairusu definitely enjoyed your reactions! If you enjoyed Power Star and want to know how the story first started, im sure you'll also like Power Star: Reimagined, which is a retelling of the story (same events but starts as a prequel), very well animated, and even has the original creator's involvement. It's really underrated, and it would be awesome if you checked it out.

[@Pika25-fw7fq]

This needs to be an anime or have an alternative good ending because this is the most epic flash animation ever!

[@Mairusu]

Right???

[@Spyash2]

Funnily enough, there is an animation where SMBZ Mario ends up against Devil Mario during Power Star 2. While there is one part (so far) out of three, it's pretty damn good and may end up with an alternate good ending. The animation is called Parallel Clash

You've already reacted to "The Secret History of Mario" a while back when checking out "The Secret History of Sonic" for an FNF Mod, so I'd like to see you react to Racist Mario next. An animation created by Flashgitz who are notorious because of how many people reacted to their content in the past. "Luigi's Day Out" would be cool to see you react to as well, as well as Brain Dump which is another hotdiggitydemon series he worked on.

Mario killed himself because gaining back control for just a millisecond & seeing the genocide that Devil Mario had generated, he saw it as his one & only chance to get the boos outta his body & in a moment of quick thinking he stuck a katana into his chest, ending the boos control over him, the slaughter, & his own life.
