    I'm from Spain so when I watched the series as a kid i couldn't read the dialogues at all, still, with only seeing the animation I could understand what was happening, the sad backstory of Sonic and Shadow, the importance of the chaos emeralds, the anger of shadow and I acknowledged the incredible strength of metal sonic and the threat it was. The series made me feel what was happening and didn't care about the language barrier, and that was and still is the special thing that made me love Super Mario Bros Z.
    Thank You for reminding me of this.

Probably the only real violation is the music, since its just presented as it is.

    Best part.
    “Oh hey Mecha Sonic . . . AAAGH!!!”
    In all seriousness this was one of my favorite internet series based on a game franchise. Fire Sonic was a hype moment and I loved the sprite animation. It’s sad that Nintendo couldn’t let it be, especially since it was made as a non-profitable passion project. Poor guy had already experienced creative burnout and then depression. But i bet he could turn his talent for sprite animation into something of his own. I’m sure some game companies would be happy to have him.

    Dude, honestly, I agree with you entirely. This entire video essay is me in a nutshell, both in 2009 and even NOW! Listen, sprite animation is a VERY tedious process, and Mark took this to the next level in 2009! And seeing this in the present day REALLY shows that he can do more than people give him credit for, which by the way, he deserves NONE of! What he needs is love and support, not hate and Nintendo being total idiots! Both Mark and the series, SMBZ have really inspired me to do my best and to not let people get me down. Heck, this series, among other things, is what inspired me to do sprite animations in the first place! [I haven't done any yet, but I'm looking forward to!] Sorry for the ramble, but something really needed to be said, and this video pretty much did it for me. You have earned a sub!

    It really did feel like a kick in the teeth to both Mark and the fans when Nintendo shut down his Patreon page.

      Except in this case, they had every right to. Mark was trying to make a dime using their creations, which isn't fair game. He could easily have gone on to create it for free, but that takes time and effort one simply doesn't always have as an adult.
      It's also less a kick in the teeth when you see what Mark's been up to lately. You start to lose your sympathy when you watch him attacking and badmouthing Nintendo and its fans on Twitter.

    Oh, Super Mario Bros. Z was a delight back then. Mark (or Alvin) has amazing talent and it is quite a shame that due to complications, he wasn't able to complete the reboot. I don't blame him. But I do hope he will come back in the future.
    And the humor of this video is so wonderful!

    Back when I was young, my parents would keep me away from violent content (any M rated game) and I wasn't exposed to many game series aside from Mario, Sonic, and some random playstaion games.
    (Yet I was still allowed to watch dbz for some reason...)
    I would play Mario roms and flash games and found SMBZ in newgrounds, and I had NO idea what I was in for

    It also helps that Mecha Sonic also uses Cooler's voice, who (for those who don't know) is Frieza's brother in Dragon Ball Z. While he's not canon to the Story, in his movie it was said that he is more powerful and more cruel than Frieza.

      To this day, Genesis does what Nintendon’t. Think about it, when presented with fangames or fan animations like this, SEGA doesn’t have a fit and is actually so impressed they hire the people to come work on their games, like with Chris Whitehead and those other guys who worked on Sonic Mania. They actually respect the creativity of their fans and let them stay online with no troubles.
      Nintendo meanwhile, absolutely loathes these passion projects. Look no further to this and AM2R. AM2R was a game that took years to make and didn’t ask for any money from people and was free, it was a mans passion project that he spent years developing, taking a gameboy game and giving it the quality of something beyond even a Super Nintendo game and even adding in some new stuff that surprisingly fit in and was amazing. But Nintendo couldn’t have any of this. If anything it looked like they were jealous of the quality of AM2R, because their remake of Metroid II was coming out and it was inferior to AM2R. So rather than let it stay, or even try to hire the guy like SEGA would, they try to scrub away its existence from the internet. Nintendo has no love for their fans that want to give their franchises that have no love from them the attention and care they deserve. With them shutting down this guys Patreon when he was at the height of SMBZ and making gold, it only goes to solidify more just how much they hate love filled respectful passion fan projects. If you think Nintendo is already bad with UA-cam now, it’s only going to get worse from here folks.

I was so sad learning of Alvin's mental health and I just let myself think it would never come back. When the reboot happened it was a shock...then Nintendo ruined it. I understand copyright issues but man it hurt. Hopefully he is recovering well and if he decides to come back that'll be great. If not then at least he made a wonderful series that inspired so many flash artists.

    Super Mario Bros Z has touched my heart. As a inspiring artist and animator. I vow to uphold the legacy of animation including flash animations that have sparked a major impact on my work. No matter what people say and how much it aged, SMBZ will forever be a series that has given nothing but a whole generation of animators who've achieved greatness but can never out do Alvin-Earthworm.
    Mecha Sonic is one of the most dangerous and violent SMBZ characters of the series, even though he is just a robot separate from Metal Sonic designed by Doctor Eggman in the classic Sonic canon.
    When making a series, you can't just make it out of wanting to get money in your wallet, but how much heart and soul you put into it.
    I've heard people jab at Alvin-Earthworm for how he basically gave up, but even a creator cannot satisfy the fan base enough as his reboot series would've brought back the age of his success.
    Super Mario Bros Z is what happens when you mix two gaming franchises with a hint of anime to make a beloved series made from the heart and creative imagination.
    Alvin-Earthworm, you're legacy will live on for generations to come.

    God, I remember Super Mario Bros. Z when I was a kid. The way the episodes evolved into something amazing and just kept raising the bar up so much in terms of fights, character interactions, and story. It's a real damn shame that the series never got that ending or even continued from it's reboot. Massive respect for the guy making the series and I do hope he's doing well.
    HOWEVER! Have you by any chance seen a certain OTHER Super Mario Bros. Z? It currently has one episode which was done two months ago. It was made by a person named SmasherBlock. Dude, seriously check it out. It's got to be one of the greatest things that has ever been made in flash since SMBZ. It's basically a re-reboot of the series and OH MY LORD THE ANIMATION IS JUST BREATH TAKING! I kind of had one problem with the Mark SMBZ and that was that the characters stood still when long dialog was being given. It kind of makes the ep 7 somewhat hard to watch, but this one done by SmasherBlock makes the characters move giving that little bit of life whenever someone is talking in DBZ lengths of time. Seriously, go watch it. It's amazing.
