I wonder if I'll live long enough to see Episode 9.
Hey, I've lived long enough to see destroy all humans, kid icarus, and the incredibles get new content after years of being in hiatus. I can wait another 10 maybe 20 years. Patience is a virtue my friend, especially in gaming and film.
There is no episode 9
@@user-pt2lf2lq5o there is it's just that it's only for a few minutes till they stopped it for a 10 year hiatus and rebooted
you did tons of time ago.
@@ytw101 sadly, I confirm these words.
I remember wanting episode 9 to come out for like 5 years
Yeah...
Then it came
In the form of 3 freaking minutes
Im pretty sure you know already, but they rebooted the series :D
Anton Lindell sad face
super Mario bros z is awesome

Sonic is one of the most badass heroes in history. The Fire Flower was cool.

Who got goose bumps when mario said "sonic"?
Yo boy did
Me
I wonder if that's really Mario's voice or not.
It felt so very wrong
But so very right
Wonder where that voice clip came from.
10:11 Mario says "Sonic" is so epic.
That really is the best way to put it.
Huh. I always thought he said "Sorry" to Sonic since he felt bad about what just happened.
@@superstarultra28 No it's him saying "Sonic".
No
@@Gadget-Walkmen no
The Hotel Mario joke killed me, probably my favorite in the whole series.
I'm guessing Bowser was lazy and decided to reuse the note and cross off the hotel part
Same man its was so nostalgic and funny
3:13 *And you gotta help us!*
5 years later, I'm still convinced Alvin Earthworm was the Monty Oum of 2D animation. I feel kind of bad that he put the series to rest.
OneGamer2EnvyThemAll He has rebooted the series! What did you think of the 3D plain field fighting?
Big-Bonkin-Head not really that entertained in comparison to this version but I'll have to get used to the reboot.
OneGamer2EnvyThemAll as much as I love RWBY, I find SMBZ a better series
Goku Black What is RWBY ?
Scorp RWBY is a 3D animated series by Rooster Teeth. Its crazy, but highly entertaining, especially in the first 3 seasons. The relation between these two shows is the bat-shit crazy and highly complex battle numbers inspired by most Shonen anime.
Seeing this stuff makes me want to go back and try to make animations myself. I loved this stuff, and if you like SMBZ, I suggest you take a look at RWBY and another show called One Minute Melee.
Fire flower sonic is badass!!!
YEAH FIRE SONIC FOR THE WIN PEOPLE
+TyronMakeka: Imagine Fire Sonic in the new version.
Man the first episode of the reboot was amazing. Some elements have changed, so I am eager to see if fire Sonic gets to stay it's such a cool concept.
+TyronMakeka Presenting......SONIC THE ECHIDNA!!!!
+TyronMakeka Indeed. For once, the mere sight of a recolor wasn't enough to make me cringe.
There was just this special flair that he had making SMBZ that no other creator could ever replicate. He just knows the perfect choreography, timing, sound design, and slowmo effects to use to make a fight scene interesting and exciting throughout.
"Man, I've never seen you this out of character. I mean, I knew you were a lone wolf, but I never thought of you as a heartless monster. You NEVER used to get this angry this easily. In fact you are one of the most compassionate people I know, and you proved that to me during the battle aboard the Space Colony ARK. You never fought out of pride or amusement; it was always for those you loved and cared about, like Maria.
I'm fighting for the same reason, for all of my friends who were slain by Mecha Sonic that fateful day, and the same for Mario and Luigi, who fight to defend those they care about. But since we arrived here, it seems all you've been thinking about is destroying Mecha Sonic by yourself and taking your anger out on people who don't let you do that as quickly as possible. Between the two of us, I think I have more of a reason to be aggressive and hateful."
- Sonic, staring down an enraged Shadow refusing to save Peach
i needa know the name of the song
@@carteranderson7530 Valua City, from Skies of Arcadia.
Shadow was right though. Saving the princess at that point was the most tactically unsound move that only endangered her more than actually helped her, and they ended up paying dearly for it. He was just too spergy to lay out his reasoning properly.
Peach is infinitely more safe in the doomship than in some shoddy, ram-shackle castle, guarded by literal pondscum, especially with a homicidal android on the loose. Bowser's never shown any sign or intention of wanting to hurt her, and when they get all the emeralds they can just waltz in and take her without trouble anyway. Really all they did was creative an opportunity for her to be hurt in the potential crossfire, pursuing an objective with no gain of strategic value.
@@Earoist that's a really good point
Who Tf is Maria? Did i miss something?
Plot twist: Bowser actually killed Basilisx' best friend because of his lackluster fighting skills.
MIND BLOWN
Possible.
That would match up with the fact that there weren't Koopas in the room he described.
@@Baconator2558 Un what? There clearly were koopas in room 2. It was full of koopas hanging on some metal fences and some flying lava bubbles.
That would explain why Mario was confused

Fire sonic was so dope, kicking a lot of ass.
Y'know, as much as Shadow IS a jerk both in this episode and in the series leading up to this point... anyone else think he had kind of a point about prioritizing? I mean, Bowser has NEVER hurt Peach. Surely the sensible thing to do is grab the last 2 Chaos Emeralds, transform into a whole team of Super Mode warriors, then bring Bowser's Omega Doomship down around his ears faster than spit?
I think in this case, for Sonic it was again about Teamwork. Mario and Luigi confinued to help them despite Yoshi being beaten near to death, and losing an entire Island that he was indebted to, he still worked with Sonic and did his best to fight, same with Luigi. He owes it to Mario for all that they've done for him.
And uh.. From what I remember, the writer (not Mark mind you.) part of the original series was a little questionable. Like, making a Dark Ashley subplot that would get along with Shadow or something
@@guardian8926 Huh?- Dark Ashley? I'm confused.
@@thienbaongo7997 I legit don't remember much but legit. That was real. An edgy Ashley from Warioware.
@Guardian There’s a little more to it than just owing a debt to Mario and Luigi. Sonic is the type of character who would never think twice about helping someone in need, regardless if it’s practical to the bigger plan or goal, to him, a single life is of the same worth as thousands more, he would gladly sacrifice himself if need be. Mario is on a similar boat, the search for the Emeralds is just as much his duty as it is Sonic, considering he the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, and it is under threat of demise due to how ruthless and omnicidal Mecha Sonic is, so it’s not just helping Sonic. If the roles where reverse and Sonic’s friend and world where the ones in need, Mario would not hesitate to help either, they are both selfless and noble heroes at their very core who would lend a helping hand regardless if “debts” where a factor or not.
@@alexgomez6723 You're absolutely right. It's in their blood to be heroes and to do anything else would be spitting on their very character.
thay sonic and shadow conversation waa just too deep
Drizz Uzumaki fr bro
Ikr. It sucked.
It was soooooo deep mate
I love it
True
No kidding, but what makes it great. It shows a different side of them, but it still keeps them in character. I could actually see Sonic and Shadow have a conversion like this in an actual Sonic game if SEGA wasn't so gutless about dark story lines.
This, my friends, is what we call "The end of an era"
It's really too bad we never got to see the end of this series... It seems like every great fanmade series always ended abruptly because of life or something... A series like this really deserved a completed storyline. I loved all the setups Alvin was doing. We never got to see the Koopa Kids fight, we never got to see Robotnik again, and we never even got to see Mecha Mario. It's really such a waste... It's too bad he couldn't finish the series.
I gotta admit... I really loved seeing Sonic use the fire flower. I thought that was a real badass moment. It would be really cool if we got to see what effects the other powerups had. I'm sure everyone would love to see Ice Flower Sonic too, or hell, even see Shadow use one. I'm sure Shadow would have had a field day with using a fire flower.
With the reboot, we can hope to see what happens next, we just have to be really patient ^^
Really really REALLY patient. Quality over quantity though... Episode 2 of the reboot was a banger. Episode 6 has to be a masterpiece.
Screw Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Games. *This* is the crossover we need. This should legit be a game.
If Sonic use the fire flower, I hope in the reboot shadow use de ice flower
+Zee Captein No way. Alvin should take it to the next level and give Shadow the Penguin Suit. Face it, that would be hilarious if Shadow wore the Penguin Suit and kicked so much ass.
+Austin Grider (ArondightBerserker) or the frog suit
yeah that's what I think too

+Zee Captein Hedgehogs of Ice and Fire. lol.
We all know how Nintendo felt about this, but how did sega react to this masterpiece?
7:00 Gave me chills on the way Shadow would react
Just realized
Sean Schemmel would make a great sonic
Probably a box better than Roger Craig Smith?
CrasherX 2000 anyone over him honestly do not like roger as sonics voice actor lol
PETER KELAMIS IS BETTER FAM
Ive found you on so many videos and now you tell me youre in the past?!
Roger Smith's doing an excellent job as Sonic. I honestly couldn't see anyone else but him doing it, nowadays.
I can only imagine what whould happen if smash bros was like this
The game would break
Guy playing as Mecha Sonic: ILL CRUSH YOU!!!
Guy playing as anyone else: I’m using motion controls.
I used to think this episode was my least favorite when I first saw it as a kid, but looking back on it as an adult, this episode is the most exciting one and tingles my now more developed brain a lot more.
Fire Sonic is so cool, and so overpowered that Basilisx immediately recognized that he must not allow Fire Sonic to initiate an attack on any circumstances, instantly petrifying him without a second thought. It struck me only recently that Mario simply isn't as well equipped in combat as Sonic is, which makes sense, but this simple disparity is what makes both of these kid friendly franchises work so well together in tandem.
Mario is established to be a well rounded, normal man who is still capable of putting a good fight against troops with heavy armor (not so in the case of Goombas), but can't reliably deal with Bowser's Elite Military Units such as Hammer and Fire Bros without powerups of his own. Sonic for the most part, doesn't even need said powerups, which are so valuable to Mario's combat utility that he stockpiles them, something which made its debut in Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES. Sonic is faster than Mario in every way, uses his biological spikes as weapons in his Spin Dash to deal more damage than a Mario jump, and with those heightened combat abilities, it makes sense that he amplifies the potency of the Fire Flower's effects.
Also Sonic's Fire Explosion foreshadowed Sonic Frontiers - what a masterpiece this series is. Can't wait to see Mark Haynes reach this episode in his reimagining.
The fight occurring after Sonic gets fire power is way epic!
guys he decided to restart the series. check out his patreon.

Wish he continued from where he left off instead
Luigi just kills me, man.
Jared Burk he's comedy gold.
13:11 It’s so true it hurts, but I still laugh
Also Waluigi taking that long drop XD
7:37 how fans feel about current Shadow.
26:05
Let the two minutes of an epic battle of ownage and awesome teamwork by those four BEGIN
Mario Basilisx
Base = 10 Base = 18
Attacking = 15 Blades = 26
Hammer Bro = 22 Full power = 34
Throws hammers = 28
Full power = 33
Power Dissapeared = 16
Green = 6
Basilisx Wins
The part when Mario and Sonic invade the ship is my favorite. I love running combat like that. "Lets-a go!"
7:25 I can definitely tell why shadow has that much anger, he's lost everything like Sonic did.
Shadow lost his creator,Gerald Robotnik,He lost his best friend,Maria Robotnik,he lost his teammates Rouge the Bat and E-123:Omega.
All that Shadow has left to remember of Mobius is his rival,Sonic,the one who killed tram dark,Turbo Mecha Sonic,the chaos emeralds,and a possibly living Dr. Eggman.
Basically, Sonic and Shadow may have different reasons for gathering the emeralds,but they have a common enemy.
If they gathered the emeralds,they might have a chance to bring back the lives lost on there world because of Mecha Sonic.
Plus,i would like to see E Gadd and Tails share notes.
Man, if the story ends with the chaos emerald restoring the past, that would be so cool....but also would be sad to see that the encounter between Sonic and Mario would have never existed...unless they have memory or something to travel between dimensions, but I doubt it..
I remember watching this for the first time like 2009 or 2008
Damn that was a different time all together
To all of you who watched this back then, we've come a long way
I remember being so pissed back in 2011 or 2012 when I realised Alvin had ended the series on such a cliffhanger. Super Mario Bros. Z was probably the best fan made series that I ever watched as a kid.
Shadow is mature, he doesn't waste time on dumb princesses, he cares about himself and his Friends, Rouge and Omega!
I've never seen this before, but it's a Mario RPG style, but it's high-level quality！
I really wented to see the continuation(>
13:14 is my favorite part!
I know what pain Luigi felt man
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
The fight coordination and imagination in these videos is just ridiculously good. Still holds up!!!
FINNALY I FOUND THIS VIDEO!!!!! I USED TO WATCH THIS CONSTANTLY WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
Alvin Earthworm really did a spectacular job!
13:14 I remember dying laughing seeing this as a kid
I always think of this scene whenever I have to put on goggles or eye ware 😂😂😂
I was kinda scared
It's cool seeing Mario teaming up with Sonic
THESE COMBOS ARE BETTER THAN FUCKIN Mortal Kombat
Papyrus The Skeleton lmao
Papyrus The Skeleton no...BETTER THAN MARVEL VS FUCKING CAPCOM
Koron Redding Better than Melee
If this continued
I'm just saying
Fire Sonic > Metal sonic
Probably a box Kind of hard to tell who would win sometimes. Sonic doesn't do well in some fights against but certain fights he does. Fire Sonic will definitely help Sonic but more powerful than Mecha Sonic? Ehhh
the sad thing is its not remember when Mario had the fire and metal was immune to it but like that not bad i mean it would be funny to think that metal sonic cable to destroy so much made by egg man can go super was not fire proof t
This was the shit back in the day
Still is
Mario has been laying half dead here for a decade…
I watched this when I was little brings back so much memoryies
He's remaking the series!
+Silver The "Psychic" Hedgehog is he still making more of these? i would be shocked and dance in a forest full of...puppies
why on earth would anybody look up "Mark Hynes" on youtube. He's rebooting the series!
Silver The "Psychic" Hedgehog found him before you commented
ok
I've started watching this when I was 9 years old. I'm 15 now, and I still want A_E to continue this shit
***** well before alvin stopped he did animate the first few minutes of episode 9, so if you want too you can look it up and see who saved mario.
but yeah there isnt much after that
EeveeChick10 Did y'all know the series is rebooted :D
Gijs Bosten wut
Holy shit you guys too???
Mr.tokyokip 1 me too :)
Someday, I want this to continue. I understand it’s been canceled, but I’ve seen others try to continue this masterpiece on their own, and it honestly pains me to see how it can never top this beautiful work of art. Heroes of the Stars is good in all, but this pure nostalgia, and someday, I PROMISE YOU, even if its in 10 more years, this will return.
Theres a reboot
@@SrPaisano so I’ve heard
@@gogostarx Yeah it Just got to episode 2, its on Mark Hayne’s channel.
Everyone's power: Mario (base form) : 10

totally wrong. Basillix tooo overpowered
Not necessarily. Him and Mario were about evenly matched until he "cheated" and used the luigi statue.
+GreatAether531 he wasn't really cheating he was just using his friends to his advantage, which where stone, so technically he was using his environment to his advantage.
Cody Gracy I put cheating in quotations for a reason.
This will always hold a bittersweet place in my heart

Don't worry guys, the reboot will explode this episode so hard we will never regret for being alive.
Wait a minute, if Captain Basilax is over there then who's flying the doomship?

Or a "Random koopa number 547" replacement.

I just wish he didn't end the series on such a cliff-hanger..
I love that Luigi is the comedic relief. XD
It's funny to think that the Mushroom Kingdom has the perfect solution to all of Mobius' problems. In that, when they gather the star spirits and the star rod, they'd be able to wish everyone back to life on Mobius OR enough 1up mushrooms to do it themselves. Either way, I get the feeling THAT will be how they fix what Mecha Sonic did.
you know the battle is going to get good at 29:57
Please can you turn the adverts OFF because you are earning money of someone else's marvelous work.
***** oh thx m8

In a previous update youtube made it so you can't turn off adds, but you can decide if you want to gain money from your videos or not.
that would be stupid

"Is it worth saving one life, but killing one thousand of them?" - The Hedgehod, Shadow
Normally I would agree with Sonic but Shadow has a point, Peach is worthless
If she's worthless, then Bowser wouldn't bother capturing her. Her dedication to her kingdom and love of her subjects makes her a powerfull figurehead, so Bowser capturing her gives him leverage. Also, if not for that 1-Up shroom that Peach gave Luigi in Episode 5, they would all be dead. Just saying.
Dedication to what? Doing cake? In every single game all peach does is letting Bowser steal her (by this point shes more object than person) and her "loyal subjects" dont do much but stand there watching Bowser run away
Krauser Cruz only too true lol
This is an old comment. But it’s worth saying that Peach is the only reason why Shadow and Sonic are even alive. If she hadn’t given Luigi that 1-up mushroom, they all would have died thanks to Mecha Sonic.
Exactly Edwin
Probably the best battle of the series, the combo attacks were off the charts...
sonic looks badass in the fire mode:D
So many references on SMBZ that's why I like it
I've realized that these episodes on this channel are in much better quality and are more in sync than the one of Alvins old channel. Did Alvin ask you to upload them in better quality or did you do it yourself with no questions asked?
Wait... Alvin's OLD channel? What's the name of the new one?!
Nicolas Jonca mark haynes or search SMBZ reboot
Basilisx is a liiiiiiiiiiittle too Deviant Art Tier OC, but the choreography and setup are still great.
I'm so glad they put the starfox boss appearance theme for the battle ship
Hopefully Mark brings back Fire Sonic.
TheHappy_P0tat0 I think he will. It definitely had a good impact on the series. Imagine how it'll look in the reboot!
@@big-bonkin-head1034 If they could continue the series on the reboot version, imagine how it would be to see Ice Flower Sonic.
Electricity Creeper
He’s back to working on the Reboot 😌😌
I've noticed that there are a lot of paper mario references in this series (the appearance of the koopa bros, peach mentioning the star rod, the appearance of goombella and prof. kolorado, and many more references). in case you are confused by this, I will note that most of the references are in previous episodes.
Basillix said that he will send Mario to the Underwhere.
I don't understand how paper Mario can be Canon in this series if it is normal mario.
It's the *carried momentum* that makes these fights so awesome to watch.
Nintendo's such a prick. This glorious piece of art was taken down from them. They emailed Alvin saying to stop making these videos.
Gilberto Gonzalez No...Alvin stopped caring about the series and stopped on their own...
Gilberto Gonzalez Alvin stopped working on it to spend more time drawing animal porn.
MrChekcer1 I still can't fucking believe it. At least he's remaking the series now, but I heard this last fight will be removed.
Gabriel Hollows Pretty sure he isn't remaking the series. That one "remake" video was just testing out sprite animation on a newer version of flash. He never mentioned any plans of continuing.
Kyred808
Did you read his blog post? He specifically said he would be starting from scratch.
this episode was so epic
This is so amazing!This is great.A cool fight with my lovely Mario Brothers!Sonic and Joshi are too cool.
Because this series wasn't continued, I honestly think Basilisx is op. It also shows that if this series was continued, it would have to go through alot more padding just to defeat Basilisx, Bowser, Eggman (come on, who can't tell from the silhouette and the fact he looked at Sonic and walked off?) and the Koopaling minions. Basilisx, like he said, could've just turned Mario to stone and the series would be over. He did the same to Yoshi, Luigi and Sonic, and he just holds back because he wants to see Mario suffer. Oh, lets not forget what it would take to get Sonic and Yoshi free (by the small shot of 9, Luigi is freed). I'm not fond of that one. I only like the song that accompanies his fight.
Alvin is continuing the series (possibly) along with making a remake. Here's the site where I got the information from
Newgrounds.com
Just put his name in the search box aaaaaannnnnnnddddd
WAZZAM
Proof XD
Hope I helped a bunch :->
It could also be eggman nega XD
To be fair, Hammer Mario did manage to score a few powerful blows on Basilisx until he used Luigi as a shield/weapon.
Titanium Heracross They were few, it's like an underleveled advantage Pokemon against a hacked one. Doesn't matter, he's still op
Justin Okoh that's a matter of its own
Someone please get this dude to continue this piece of art!!!
29:59 The Ultimate Battle! Mario VS. Basilisx
Mario: “You can’t use Luigi as your human shield!”
Also Mario: 26:55
But he statue. He feel nothing.
fire sonic is a cool sonic
Now I want to see an ice sonic
When Mario said “Sonic”. I FELT THAT
“Find out on the next exciting episode of Super Mario bros Z” and then he doesn’t make another exciting episode of super Mario bros Z
I just realized how many memes are in this series. This definitely gets a dank rating of 420 out 10
Man, the golden age of Newgrounds. Alvin was the true god of sprite animations.
i'd be lying if i said i didn't come back to these gems every so often
