Mario & Sonic: Worlds Clash

Through an unforeseen event, two of the worlds biggest video game icons are forced to switch worlds, and struggle to overcome the differing rules, mechanics and goals defined by each others games.
A Mario & Sonic crossover animation I created for a high school Media Project back in 2008. Due to time constraints, the version I submitted had scenes cut out and others rushed, and as a result, I wasn’t satisfied with the final product. Since then I’ve been animating on and off during my spare time to reach the point I intended the animation to be. And here it is :)

Awesome animation, humor, sounds and story. This was really epic tribute to both franchises! I say this is one of the if not THE best crossover animation I ever seen of them! All the hard work and years you put into this really shows and I applaud a million times for your dedication to this project. I loved when the characters get introduced and how they interact. Sonic and Mario adjusting to their opposing worlds had to be the funniest thing ever.. Everyone was hilarious and that ending was soooo great. the inner fan girl in me jumped for joy, watching this all... You really stayed true to the games and it came out flawless :D I'm reading all of the profolio now and I can't just say how admirable and inspiring how much work you put into this epic animation! It's awesome, I can't even begin to explain my love for this. :) Keep doing you!

[@LiamDoherty]

Oh wow.. You really just made my day. Thank you so much for the thoughtful and generous words. I also really appreciate you taking the time to read through my port folio! I don't think anyone that I know besides my media teacher has gone through it haha (Excuse my terrible handwriting / grammar) Comments like these are definitely what motivate me to create more videos, so thanks again. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@tamaqueen317]

Aww wow, you're welcome! My pleasure, this animation had made my whole night and I had to write a comment to express my full appreciation. Oh and no problem haha, your profolio is amazing! It was actually very easy to read haha! I loved reading every page because of how in depth this project goes and how much details and study had gone into it. I think more aspiring Sprite animators who watch this should take note from that. :) It definitely inspired me to try to work as hard. I'm very glad that my comment made a positive motivational impression! Those were my intentions because you're just such a talented animator and it'd be wonderful to see more. :D Thank you for replying and making such an epic piece of art!

This is amazing! If there's ever a Mario and Sonic crossover game (an actual one, not a minigame compilation), they should hire you to animate the cutscenes! I know that's a bit of a stretch, but the point is, you're really good at animating! You deserve way more subscirbers!

This brings me back to my days of scouring the internet for sonic flash animations & fan content and dreaming of doing something cool like that. This was nonstop ear and eye candy, story, animation and sequencing, editing everything, as is stated by 99% of the comment section. I also love how despite how obvious song choices can be in these videos, especially when pulled from recognizable games, these songs blended with the tone and events of the scene so well that you almost treat it like an original score. Same with the voice clips and such, even when sonic flips between Ryan and Jason lol. Perfect balance of humor, action, fanservice, pacing, etc. just wonderful.

[@adreamtmonochrome]

The humor was really on point in this and reminded me a lot of what I enjoyed when I watched the SMBZ series by Mark Haynes (Alvin Earthworm). What differentiates this animation from his is how you incorporated Mario and Sonic's gameplay styles in each other's worlds and showed how it wasn't going to work unless they adapted to their new surroundings and learned new things, which was a really clever and cool touch! Haynes' work focused highly on really flashy fight scenes that are clearly inspired by DBZ (hence the name), and there's nothing at all wrong with that, but showing each character fighting with old and new abilities that are more familiar to both worlds was very refreshing. I don't know if you still have the time to animate things like this like how you did in the past, but I hope you're still enjoying the hobby!
