The way the models are modified to capture the original sprite art used is incredible. Bowser in particular, with the slightly larger head, and the posing, looks exactly how you'd imagine the classic GBA sprite in 3D. Using that particular running animation for Luigi was also a nice touch. These little additions made this really feel like Super Mario Bros Z instead of a generic 3D fighting video, which is important because the models are of such high quality that they almost just look like something Nintendo would put out. Excellent all around.

[@Kingmegadon]

This is so good it looks like it was ripped straight from an official game. Especially from 0:58-1:34. It so DMN GOOD. So good it makes me want a Mario/Sonic RPG. An official one at that. IF Nintendo could the rights for the 7 stars rights from Square and Sega the chronicles rights from Bioware we'd have our story. After the end of DB2 (which I know we'll never get) Eggman (who has been messing with dimensional travel) invades the mushroom kingdom with his new army. The Smithing Empire.

My step dad showed me this since he watched Super Mario Bros. Z when he was a teem, and at first I was skeptical about the series, but now, this is the coolest animation I have ever seen!!! Please do continue to make stuff like this to inspire the next generation of animators!!!

[@bloodyhangnails]

Coolest step-dad ever? Tf?

[@gotsnoname]

Best show ever bro. Me and my lil bro grew up watching thid as kids and it was the best. Felt so good seeing this lol

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

tfw people that watched SMBZ are dads showing this to their sons.

[@christopherh.8056]

The movements, the fluidity of the animation, the colors, the shaders, the composition, wow, it really looks official, it seems like you've already worked on the trailers for Smash Bros Ultimate. amazing job dude 💟

its amazing the potential of this series. seriously there's so much mark could do with it its a shame it hasnt happened yet

[@phillyfanmatt]

I can’t get over how clean every frame of animation in this is. Incredible.

[@crashgrove5514]

Holy crap dude the line up with all the villains?! (1:10) *chef's kiss*. Metal sonic looks sick!

[@HypeShot-27]

1:43 The Fire Flower power-up sound happening on the beat is 👌💯🔥

[@aanimation4892]

Its amazing

[@Natt._.han569]

Man now that the Olympic games are over, I hope we could get an actual Mario and sonic crossover like this.

[@Wrilen_Speedy_Webb]

This isnt a fan video This is a cinematic masterpiece

[@sonicultimateyt1090]

This is impressive! I love the models here and the animation is smooth

[@SNLYoshi21]

I agree. The models used here are from Mario Golf Super Rush (Yoshi), Luigi’s Mansion 3 (Mario, Luigi, Peach), albeit modified/retextured. I forget where the rest of the characters are from.

[@ThePinkOne]

@@SNLYoshi21 I'd love to know where Sonic and Shadow are from, those models look beyond fantastic

[@foursidekm]

​@@ThePinkOne maybe like one of the Olympics games? Idk I hear those games have suprisingly high quality models

[@ThePinkOne]

@@foursidekm I don't think so, I ripped those awhile back and they look quite different

[@foursidekm]

@@ThePinkOne yeah I wouldn't really know

[@ZeraVoltage]

Man this ANOTHER LEVEL 10/10. Made so many of childhoods come to 3D it looks beautiful!

[@reginadanielsthomas6775]

That was the greatest intro in my life. Sonic and Mario had a team up. That was awesome. Great job for the one that made that because you just made that KZbinr made a 3-D version of videos so great job for both of you guys awesome sauce give me a slice

[@Garrulous64]

This gave me goosebumps. They all look so cool, this is amazing!

[@TheLongtailed]

Wait Garrulous64 ?

[@SonicBalance]

The fact that only one guy made something that cool is insane

[@spark7620]

No way this has such low views. This is absolutely incredible, from the amount of character put into the entire cast in such a small amount of time, to the editing and the music, this is an underated masterpiece that really just tugged at my nostalgic heartstrings. Thank you so much for this

[@Medachod]

I mean, it was _just_ released. Give it some time.

[@spark7620]

@@Medachod you're right you're right, didn't even notice that

[@FanicAnimations]

One of the most professional 3D animation of Mario/Sonic on YT for sure. goosebumps every moment

[@goldenfungus96]

Just how I always envisioned it, the faithfulness to the original sprites and added character is outstanding, amazing work

[@FoxVidz2000]

Holy moly, this is amazing!!!!!! I hope Mark himself sees this and likes it. This probably won't happen but now I can't help but imagine how the whole reboot would work with this 3D engine. Pat yourself on the back for this, my friend. You've earned it! Edit: Omg Mark did tune in lol. Absolutely wild!

[@gabrielgalaxy31]

This is just spectacular, only a true Super Mario Bros. Z fan could do this but still, he did it, but he did it in the coolest way possible. A round of applause for the huge work of art that has just been taken this GigaChad all fans of this legendary series owe their well-deserved like.

[@kingbash6466]

The way Mario's eyes shift from blue to red in his super form gave me all sorts of chills.

[@DenverHardaway]

All bullshit aside I had to pause this vid for a min just to pay my respects to Mr.Toriyama-San. This crossover was dope AF, and to see it was fan made?! I'd pay on patron to see this every week

[@taidakun_ig]

If I didn't know any better I'd say this was an official thing! Dude, everything here was amazing! The shot at 0:47 sold it.

[@averagemariorpgfan4131]

Man the title alone made me press this masterpiece

[@TheArthJoshi]

Absolutely incredible, exciting, and epic! The animation is so fluid, expressive, action packed, and faithful to Super Mario Bros. Z. It’s borderline movie quality! There’s passion oozing out of this animation in every area and I love it! Keep up the great work!

[@A_VorteX]

0:33 the little spark when Yoshi is charging the attack like in Smash Bros it's a great detail

[@Fruitlahoop]

God I freaking love this series. Every now and then I go on a marathon watch or nostalgia watch for this series. The concept is genius and has so much depth to use these set characters to their fullest potential. Thank you for this 3D rendition and to Mark for making my childhood.

[@ismaelchavez5309]

Nostalgia en full HD. Fuera de joda, ver está animación me erizo la piel, no sólo por la calidad del vídeo, sino por como se respeta el factor nostalgia, diganmen, quién no soñaba con ver los sprites en 3D y sumándole que está fue una serie de culto para los que crecimos viendo la original en los cibers? Mis más grandes felicitaciones al creador de esta animación.

[@rickymiranda2017]

Oye bro sabes donde se puede ver de nuevo?

[@kingbastion4987]

NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A REAL VIDEO GAME CROSSOVER WORTH MAKING!!! Nintendo and Sega DEFINITELY MUST make a game like THIS!!!!

[@Shlugelz]

SMBZ was a huge thing for me during my teenage years! I watched the heck out of each and every episode. Seeing this brings back good memories and the animation is just incredible!!

[@seanhollis5259]

Did that series ever finish?

[@justvep9470]

Same :')

[@StealthTheFoxz]

@@seanhollis5259 No. Sadly Alvin's inspiration and drive keeps being pushed into the abyss. Not his fault, but it kept him from finishing the original series, and now he's rebooting it. We'll see how it goes from there.

[@PowMario86]

“This video is a masterpiece! It’s clear you’ve put a lot of effort into making it both fun and informative.”

[@alex55493]

This looks amazing. The little details of the animation like the lipsync at the beginning, the ruffle of the hair/spikes, the little strech of the characters for dynamism, everything looks soo good. Amazing job.

[@liamphibia]

1:51 Now *that* is Super Mario! LET'S A GO!!😆

[@AngryDemonBowser]

This has got to be the best fanmade CGI i have ever seen in my life. This looked incredibly professional. Incredible job

[@BOILKI]

If SEGA And Nintendo Actually Made This Into A Action And Adventure Game Instead Of Olympic Games!

[@thewolfleader500]

Dude. This is inconceivably underrated, like, this shit could earn you a real job working as a pro 3D animator if you play your cards right

[@Green_Pix-L]

Yeah!

[@NukeTheOG]

With animation like this, Pixar will for sure hire him

[@andrewplaysagame3479]

This is incredible, the animation is so authentic it’s almost hard to believe it’s not official Nintendo or Sega made

[@juliansolano6815]

Lo guardo en mi lista de reproducción. Esto literalmente es lo mejor que pude ver en internet, la animación parece sacada de un juego oficial, la animación super fluida, los destalles en la iluminación,TODO. Si mi yo adulto está saltando de emoción, se imaginan si lo hubiera visto de niño?

Lo mismo digo, me saco una lagrimita y todo de lo bien que quedó

[@gabrielpereira7125]

Lo mismo digo, al que haye hecho èste remake de la intro, le quedò Insuperable, espectacular, Divino, se nota el cariño y dedicaciòn que le puso :3 mis dieces y mis respetos a quien hizo la animaciòn

1:14 That Mecha Sonic genuinely looks scary. This is reallly impressive and advanced! Great job! God bless you!

[@axelmationz]

*DUDE!* This is absolutely _INCREDIBLE!_ Your animation is visually stunning and very cartoonish! You deserve to be hired by either Nintendo or SEGA!

My god, you are such a talented animator. Such great use of squash and stretch, a great sense of pacing, everything is just so high quality. This is beautiful.
