super mario bros z has spawned some of the coolest stuff ive ever seen on my time on the internet and this probably is the coolest. absolutely incredible work, imagine if mark actually uses this for the opening of the next episode!
Well hey, people say that if Nintendo copyright claims it, it’s canon. So technically if this gets claimed then SMBZ is canon to the official mario franchise
I have such mixed emotions about this tho😂 on one hand I have not fully sure how the whole copyright thing works since I’m fairly new to the whole bringing my ideas to life concept 😅🤷♂️ but on the other i wish both Nintendo and Sega would take bringing something new to the table for fans a little more seriously(in my opinion a Sonic game plot line hasn’t even been interesting since “unleashed” n/ I feel like “Mario odyssey” was overly hyped, to me there was no reason tht game wasn’t a full cast but then they had the nerve to include Paulina😂)
@@randomanims call me a sourpuss but I’m not getting my hopes up😑 I feel like Nintendo and Sega alike are known for letting perfectly good opportunities go to waste for the sake of “just because“ most of the time smh
Who would've guessed that a 3 minute video made by a stand alone animator would have better quality than 99% of the things we see from AAA Movie Animators today
I finally realized why Nintendo doesn't want an actual Mario and Sonic crossover because then they'd have to have Mario doing cool stuff like this and actually having a personality
It's amazing how official this animation feels. Usually fan animations have a habit of going way too over the top with squash and stretch etc. But this finds that perfect balance and looks like it could have been animated by Marza Animation.
I love how everything in the comments is all so positive. Super Mario Bros Z will forever be in my heart, grew up watching it with my bro. Best series ever. Thanks for making this, 10000/10 🎉
This is one of the greatest pieces of media I've ever seen in my entire life. The animation is so smooth and fluid, everyone is super expressive and the characters are bright and saturated as they should always be. Nintendo and especially Sega really need to take notes because this is how good their animated cutscenes should look. I really hope Mark Haynes sees this because it is absolutely incredible!
I half agree. This comment got me lost in thought at that idea. Then I realized, a ton of Nintendo games already have great animation quality, both in-game and cinematic. But then I sadly also realized how much Sonic has been lacking. Just looking at Frontiers.
@Sammy The Meme Lord Except Pokémon. But then again that's not even made by Nintendo, just GameFreak (and contrary to belief, Nintendo doesn't own GameFreak, they've made games for other systems. There was a PS4/Xbox One exclusive GameFreak game at one point.)
I remember watching the originals on my windows xp. Me and my sisters would be hella excited when new episodes were out. They were so good, and for its time the pixel animation was outstanding, nothing we’ve seen. Now we get this wonderful remake intro. It’s beautiful, thank you for capturing the original Super Mario Bros. Z
This looks higher than high quality. This is basically industry standard; you could very much pitch a concept with this. I hope the animation team is proud of themselves. They deserve to make animated trailers and shows for a living with this level of skill! EDIT: I was informed only one person did this animation. I assumed a small group/team did this. That further proves my point: Amazing work! (Other edits: grammar)
Imagine if we got the whole SMBZ series reanimated like this. I love Mark Hamal but come on could you imagine how dope the fight senses with Metallix in them would be.
I would very much love that, but I can imagine animation of THIS type of quality, and all by yourself from what I know, could take a while, and we're waiting patiently for the next Mario Bros Z episode as it is. We'd probably be waiting even longer if it was THIS awesomely animated.
0:51 and more and then we have a meeting with pay for your help and Mamajing you for everything you po ate a month ago and I try to be here with me and more
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.
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.
@@Kingmegadon I just want Nintendo and Sega to hire Mark Haynes to script an officially licensed Super Mario Bros Z with animation like this. Maybe they can hire Noob here while they're at it as an animator.
It warms my heart seeing how many of us are still fans of this incredibly awesome and beautiful series, with amazing passionate projects like these. I’m glad it’s getting more of the recognition it deserves, and I can’t wait for it to continue. I don’t care how long I have to wait, I’ll remain a fan of SMBZ for life.😌
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.
This is not just art... It's a masterpiece. From the animation to the lighting and setting. You made one of the greatest 3d animation of super Mario bros z.
@@davizi6146 Unless they remake the remake with Movie Models after The Mario Movie Comes Out and Sonic 3 Gives us a Proper Shadow Model and not just the Sonic Recolor, THEN There would be some kind of Contest
This is, hands down, THE greatest piece of fan art that I have ever seen on the internet in my near 26 years of living. The character expressions, the additional details both subtle and completely obvious, the beautiful lighting... Everything about this animation left me in awe from start to finish. The fact that you made it all by yourself is absolutely astounding. You are an inspiration and a master of your craft, and I hope your talent brings you much success in life. Even as I'm writing this comment, my mind is still blown from the sheer amount of passion and talent exuded from this animation... It's like I'm hyped for Super Mario Bros. Z all over again. I'm going to be thinking about this for a while. Holy shit.
This is an incredible blast from the past, I remember when I would have to wait for an episode of this to come out and it was always worth the wait. This series has without a doubt been an inspiration to so many works like this and is unquestionably a real piece of internet history
The only thing that looks a bit stiff is the fist clash between Mario and Metallix. Which is not the animators fault, but simply lost in translation from sprite to model.
Nothing short of godlike. This doesn't even look like it was made in 2D first, the choreography carries over spectacularly, and it's just beautiful. Even the little things like Mario and Sonic announcing their companies, Mario's thumbs-up on the plane, Yoshi's little dance on his title cards, the Koopalings' shots - all so fluid and lively, "incredible" doesn't do it justice. Lot of people have already said it could pass as official, and they're 100% right. Enormous props to you, this is definitely more than worthy of Mark's blessing.
The original 2D animation did a great job of portraying scenes with depth and liveliness. And this animator did an equally outstanding job translating that. A great example of the great improving on the great.
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!
This is actually unreal, seeing the official 3d models of the gang interact with each other and kick some ass. It makes we wish for an actual Mario Bros, Sonic crossover show. IT LOOKS SO GOOD.

It's amazing! Really good! .....i would expect even more from an official mario and sonic crossover. Even the GC Mario sports titles were slightly more fluid
This is absolutely incredible. There were so many moments where I either had to pause or go back just to see the amount of detail and fluidity that has been put into these characters and the environment. No joke, the quality of this makes it look like a trailer for a full fledged SMBZ series on Netflix. I don’t know what else to say. Bravo to everyone who was a part of this! Edit: I just learned that this was all done by one person... HOLY CRAP!! That makes this even more impressive!
If you tell me it's official, I completely believe you, an exquisite and spectacular adaptation taken to infinity, many of us who know the series definitely jumped with emotion with your magnificent work ❤💙
It’s been well over a decade since i last followed this series. The last episode came when I was in 8th grade, with shadow leaving the group and going his own way. I’m 26 now. These trailers will always keep my hyped for the next episode. I really hope Alvin comes back and continues the series from where it left off.
about 2-3 years ago he decided to reboot it and he now has 2 episodes out and shows how much talent he has to come and reboot the series but it also retaining it's quality if not more. his channel name is Mark Haynes where he uploads the reboot.
And he's still working on part 3 as we speak, which is episode 4 from the old series. The reboots are spectacular since they not only preserve the old but add in the new. Yoshi vs Metal in the old series was an undated fight but now its up there with vanishing island.
This feels like the opening of an official Mario and Sonic crossover game, the quality is unreal. Incredible work, dude, I can't even explain how amazing this is!!!
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!!!!
Kinda insane how good this is. Even the added details such as the flames from Bowser's castle or the airships above. Mario getting pushed back by Mecha Sonic has his feet digging and leaving tracks in the ground. Absolutely insane detail and just crazy amounts of fluidity. Great stuff.
For sure! The clever transitions, incredible portrayal of personality just from movement and expression, and brilliant camera work are super inspiring! Top quality stuff like this is what creators dream to make.
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!!!
This...this is a masterpiece. Everything about this, from the art style based on the sprites, to the lighting, to... everything. Just...just everything.
This is the best thing i've seen in the past few months. The overall quality of animation, lighting, expressiveness, all that... ah, so good. Every scene feels so dymanic, full of life and character. can't even describe, how much that impressed me. absolute masterpiece.
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.
I’m so glad there’s people who still love this series as much as I did back in the day, this was so surreal I saw a few people make a few short remakes of fight animations on twitter and a fanart or two and now this!?? It’s amazing absolutely so amazing. Thank you for creating this heavy nostalgia burst of a video. And special thanks to alvinearthworm of course who created the original super Mario bros Z. So legit I’m gonna watch this again a few more times haha
Words fail me. This is incredible. I was around and online in the days when SMBz first debuted on NewGrounds, and it gladdens my heart to know the series still has fans to this day. I can only hope that Alvin-Earthworm continues to find it in his heart to continue his plans for a series remake, because this is a series that **deserves** to see completion.
He's actually much better now. Especially since he got off of Twitter and now he occasionally shows off W.I.P. stuff on his channel. Now it's just a matter of time since those episodes do take a bit for him to do.
This doesn't even look like it was made by fans, this looks like an actual Mario & Sonic crossover, and I am living for it.
This could've been a reality if Nintendo didn't turn down SEGA's proposal...

1:25 three references in one. How lovely, two advance poses, and him speeding left and right like the sonic 2 sega screen.
BRO THIS SO FLIPPING GOOD OMG THIS SO FIREEEEEEEEEE
It’s been well over a decade since i last followed this series. The last episode came when I was in 8th grade, with shadow leaving the group and going his own way. I’m 26 now. These trailers will always keep my hyped for the next episode. I really hope Alvin comes back and continues the series from where it left off.
about 2-3 years ago he decided to reboot it and he now has 2 episodes out and shows how much talent he has to come and reboot the series but it also retaining it's quality if not more. his channel name is Mark Haynes where he uploads the reboot.
And he's still working on part 3 as we speak, which is episode 4 from the old series. The reboots are spectacular since they not only preserve the old but add in the new. Yoshi vs Metal in the old series was an undated fight but now its up there with vanishing island.
@@TheRealDownUnder From what I understand episode 3 is going to be the backstory.
He's rebooted it with much higher quality, both vids are on youtube
This feels like the opening of an official Mario and Sonic crossover game, the quality is unreal. Incredible work, dude, I can't even explain how amazing this is!!!
ROCKET… fancy seeing you here
Rocket is here !?
Rocket? Wait; from scratch?
@@pixell3345 yup that's him
The amount of nostalgia.. ALVIN EARTHWORM!
The crush 40 like instrumentals with Mario music especially bowsers castle theme just hits so different
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!!!!
Kinda insane how good this is. Even the added details such as the flames from Bowser's castle or the airships above. Mario getting pushed back by Mecha Sonic has his feet digging and leaving tracks in the ground. Absolutely insane detail and just crazy amounts of fluidity. Great stuff.
It's professional level quality for sure. About as good as any official Smash Bros cinematic.
For sure! The clever transitions, incredible portrayal of personality just from movement and expression, and brilliant camera work are super inspiring! Top quality stuff like this is what creators dream to make.

@@DLxxxhe shots were inspired by Smash Bros cinematics.
I'm pretty sure this was the Mario & Sonic crossover we were all expecting instead of the Olympics.
This is the Mario/sonic movie we truly want 😂😢😅
Too bad Shigeru Miyamoto said no
@@Waddlejpgmaybe he will change his opinion after the success of Mario + Rabbits if SEGA propose the offer again maybe he will say yes this time
A serious Mario and Sonic crossover has some great potential. Just imagining Mario using the Chaos Emeralds has me hyped up.
Or sonic using stars and mushrooms
What if Mario fought Metal Sonic
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!!!
@@GordanTheToad Sonic with power ups would be sick
Seeing characters in this series that have never been in 3D before is such a bizarre yet satisfying experience, this is so well done
Bruh what are you talking about?? 💀
Sonic and Mario have 3D games ya know 💀💀
@@EAting_the_mEAl Please actually read lol, there aren't that many words in my comment. _Some_ of these characters haven't ever been in 3D before
@@Charnutboy and who are they if I may ask?
@@EAting_the_mEAl metallix, axem rangers, koopa bros., mecha mario, the koopatrols, etc. all haven't been in any official 3D games
this is so good im surprised Nintendo isn't copyright striking it.
this is actually better than anything Nintendo orSega could make combined
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 😭
This...this is a masterpiece. Everything about this, from the art style based on the sprites, to the lighting, to... everything. Just...just everything.
I WANT A MOVIE OF THIS BY YESTERDAY
This has no right to be so well animated.
1:43 The Fire Flower power-up sound happening on the beat is 👌💯🔥
Its amazing
Man this ANOTHER LEVEL 10/10. Made so many of childhoods come to 3D it looks beautiful!
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.
you will never find anything smoother than this.
Words cannot describe how jaw-droppingly good this is.
0:17 Now We All Wish This Will Soon Be On Netflix
This is the best thing i've seen in the past few months. The overall quality of animation, lighting, expressiveness, all that...
ah, so good. Every scene feels so dymanic, full of life and character.
can't even describe, how much that impressed me. absolute masterpiece.
Holy crap dude the line up with all the villains?! (1:10) *chef's kiss*. Metal sonic looks sick!
This feels best as a movie/video game!!!
This is on the same level as Astartes, fans have been topping the IP they fan over lately you love to see it
This is impressive! I love the models here and the animation is smooth
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.
@@SNLYoshi21 I'd love to know where Sonic and Shadow are from, those models look beyond fantastic
@@ThePinkOne maybe like one of the Olympics games? Idk I hear those games have suprisingly high quality models
@@foursidekm I don't think so, I ripped those awhile back and they look quite different
@@ThePinkOne yeah I wouldn't really know
I’m so glad there’s people who still love this series as much as I did back in the day, this was so surreal I saw a few people make a few short remakes of fight animations on twitter and a fanart or two and now this!?? It’s amazing absolutely so amazing. Thank you for creating this heavy nostalgia burst of a video. And special thanks to alvinearthworm of course who created the original super Mario bros Z. So legit I’m gonna watch this again a few more times haha
i think he should have do all the scenes and shit. its pretty damn good
It would take entirely too much work but I would love to see a reimagining of Super Mario Bros Z done with this type of 3D graphics.
Somebody hire this man
1:51
Now *that* is Super Mario! LET'S GO!!😆
0:59 this genuinely gives me chills
This needs to reach passed 1 million views
This animations style is a fusion between smash animated trailers and DBZ.
AND I FUCKING LOVE IT
I can’t get over how clean every frame of animation in this is. Incredible.
Words fail me. This is incredible. I was around and online in the days when SMBz first debuted on NewGrounds, and it gladdens my heart to know the series still has fans to this day. I can only hope that Alvin-Earthworm continues to find it in his heart to continue his plans for a series remake, because this is a series that **deserves** to see completion.
He's actually much better now. Especially since he got off of Twitter and now he occasionally shows off W.I.P. stuff on his channel. Now it's just a matter of time since those episodes do take a bit for him to do.
