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.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

I think one of the things I love about this in addition to how smooth and expressive the animation is, is how you nailed the environments too. None of them feel really "stock" or pulled from the same sources all SFM or other animated videos take from, which really enhances just how professional this entire thing looks.

[@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. So when Mario goes looking for help who better to show up but sonic and the crew.

This may well be the best Sonic and Shadow have ever looked and animated in 3D, and it doesn't feel particularly close. Absolutely phenomenal work.

[@NatetendoOfficial]

I love the animation! It is full of life and character! Each character retains their personality, and Mario looks so bouncy and happy! This is incredible, keep up the great work.

[@Mr_Movement]

It's genuinely SCARY how much this emulates Official Nintendo Direct Trailers while also being it's own thing. 10/10 I'm sharing this as much as I can!!!!

[@scuhbeefluff-leelufsk5198]

A serious Mario and Sonic crossover has some great potential. Just imagining Mario using the Chaos Emeralds has me hyped up.

[@Hinokami777]

Or sonic using stars and mushrooms

[@quantumbun3140]

What if Mario fought Metal Sonic

[@theofficialretardschanneld1260]

I find it funny to think about I envision Mario in green hill act 1 struggling to get through the first loop and then dying of *times up*

Spoilers for Super Mario Bros Z: In SMBZ episode 8 of the original series Last warning for anyone who hasn't seen it... SONIC GRABS A FIRE FLOWER AND TURNS INTO FIRE SONIC WHICH WAS THE MOST EPIC AMAZING FANMADE TRANSFORMATION IVE EVER SEEN!!!

[@quantumbun3140]

@@GordanTheToad Sonic with power ups would be sick

[@BukkaSlay]

I can’t believe how well animated this is, the og Z was my childhood and to see it here at this quality level blows mind u guys killed it🔥🔥🔥

[@CypherSonic570]

BRO THIS SO FLIPPING GOOD OMG THIS SO FIREEEEEEEEEE

[@sp0pie928]

1:05 man, so many scenes like this where it feels like this is exactly what the 2D original version was going for, brought to life in such a beautiful way. Amazing work!!

[@erikbihari3625]

And Sonic is actually expressive!

[@brekkiebrain08]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN WHO LET HIM COOK THIS IS FIRE WE GETTIN OUT THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM WITH ONE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Canalrandom-cx5ql]

La intro la vi como a los 8 años, los viejos tiempos ❤

[@liamphibia]

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

[@Medillion]

1:18 When the beat drops and Mario smashes through the wall and does the cyclone spin, that animation is SO SMOOTH I can’t stop rewinding 😭

[@SpookCheds]

This is the hardest animation I have ever seen.

[@Kittingsl]

this has no right to look as great as it does... its insane. love the fluidity and impact that the characters give off. this feels like if not even better than the brawl cinematics and i need more!

[@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

[@mrm64]

This is what Mario Broz Z looked like to us, way back in the 2000s. Alvin changed the sprite series game, he was (still is) unmatched. EVERY single animator wanted to be like him. What an OUTSTANDING tribute to his series, awesome job! Mario Bros Z fan for life!

[@user-zf1oc3uf4h]

such an underrated animation series

[@Alex-do6zj]

This is so good that If they started releasing this episode by episode on KZbin I PROMISE YOU THAT SERIES WOULD BREAK THE INTERENT!!!!

[@crazylol2765]

hm...

[@Pixelz-]

Its already a series called Mario Bros Z on youtube.

[@Syiepherze]

Dude this feels like Smash cinematic quality. The fluidity of the animation, the shot composition, the lighting... WOW. Big ups, man!

[@JohnMartin-ll9cw]

I agree. The scene involving Mario vs. Mecha Mario feels similar to the Mario vs. Charizard fight in Greninja's reveal trailer in SSB4.

[@islandboy9381]

Creator said a lot of the shots in this were inspired by Smash Bros cinematic trailers

[@phillyfanmatt]

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