Probably one of the best flash battle animations in internet history,everything was building up to that point and this episode is the explosion of the amount of conflicts going with the series,and all of that is masterfully represented in this episode
I’m not joking when I say this, the battle in this episode is better than ANY anime or hollywood fight I have ever seen Genuinely nothing can compare to this
@@PK-RadioI basically worshipped this series as a child 🤣😂 Now I still refer back to the sprite/animation choreography as examples for other future projects I’m working on lol Shit was weirdly ahead of it’s time!
For the person reading this message I hope you are doing good, I want to share this in a lot of comment sections so it can reach everyone possible including you so please read until the end: God loves you a lot and he wants you to be saved and happy, nothing in this world like money, fun or popularity can fill the emptiness in your heart, only his son Jesus who died for you can fill you who might not nothing know about him. He knows you more than yourself. You who turned your back to him, he is still waiting for you with his arms open to receive you again. You who fought against him and have done things that are unforgivable in your eyes, he will always see you as his son and he already paid the price for all your sins. Even if the world doesn’t forgive you, all that you need is God and everything will be alright, so trust God and no one else. Repent from your sins and never go back to them, and the most important thing is that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior with your voice and your heart, when you do all these things, pray to God and read the Bible(Christian Bible not a Catholic since the Catholic one might’ve changed the word of God to something that it is not God’s word but men’s, so read a christian Bible) so that you get to know God. Follow it’s word completely, because some people might say that the times and things have changed, but God never changes, the Bible says that the heavens and earth will pass but his word will never pass and that means that the things God didn’t like back then he still doesn’t like today. So don’t let anyone tell you that now you can have sex before marriage or something like that just because everyone does it, because the Bible says that wide is the path to destruction and many walk through it. When you pray, ask God to guide you so that you always walk in his righteousness and so that he gives you strength so you don’t fall to sin, and don’t just say I am a Christian and never read your bible or end up not praying because being a follower of God means building a father and son-daughter relationship with him. Fast and pray and be his son not only in words but also in your actions. Today God has showed grace to you who might be depressed, empty, are being hated or hates, or maybe you don’t receive genuine love this is even for you who enjoys or is comfortable with your current life. Whoever you who is reading this is, know that God is calling you to give you a future and a hope in this life and in the eternal life. Trust him, because he loves you so much that is beyond understanding, and the time is short. After you finish reading this message you might die or Jesus might return, so be ready and follow him, for today he stretched his hand to you because he loves you and cares for you and he doesn’t want you to go to hell, so please go to him, it will be hard because living for God means denying yourself and the things that you might like, but it will be the best decision you will make in your entire existence and I promise you it will be worth more than any of the things that you don’t want to let go of. Make the right choice, because today God has stretched his hand to you who he loves so much that he even died for knowing all the bad things you have done. That is how much love he has and will always have for you. I don’t know you but you might be going through hard times, so keep these words in mind that God gives hope to the hopeless and he heals any wounds including the ones from the heart, and he can do the same for you regardless of anything. Thank you for reading, God bless you always
@@PyroInferno110 *faceplam* I'm SAYING that the animation has better quality than some of the animated movies today, if you look at this and then go watch Ugly dolls in theaters this would have the better quality. It's not dickriding if I'm saying that this can provide better quality
Mark Haynes (the creator) knows how to write and animate a series. Super Mario Bros. Z is filled with creativity and passion, an unique masterpiece. Literally a stroke of genius.
Im watching this because i remebered a kind of serie who have a similar name in an episode link bowser and mario fight against master hand and bowser transforms but i think this isnt that serie ;-;)
This show was once to me what game of thrones was to everyone else. Me and my buddies used to lose our minds when a new episode was released. I remember watching this episode at least 6 times on the day it came out when I was a kid. It still blows my mind to this day
I'm really glad to see how popular SMBZ really is among so many people. When I was a kid, I had no concept of whether something was popular or not, I just watched SMBZ because it was amazing content. It's awesome to see that there were other people who were also watching it at the same time as me, and were mindblown by how entertaining it was. Nice to meet a fellow fan :)
I feel ya. all throughout middle school this was the coolest thing in the world. I spent so much time rewatching, and waiting, and showed it to whoever I coukd
Game of Thrones ain't got shit on this. Sonic's story in this is far darker than any ASOIAF character considering everyone he knew and loved save for Shadow is dead before the show even started.
THE "I'LL CRUSH YOU" LINE AT 11:30 STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS It's so amazing because of how jarring it is to hear full dialogue in this series. It's used so effectively here.
You know it's interesting, each of the people on Team Mario/Sonic each have different combat styles or niches. Mario is capable of fighting alone and exploiting openings, though he's not reluctant to combo with others. Luigi primarily does combos with others to the point where he'll even let others shoot him at the enemy. Sonic is good at avoiding and moving around enemy attacks so he gets hit the least. Yoshi is also primarily combo oriented and is also sort of the supporter in cases when some gets knocked down and will run them around. And Shadow is the loner with enough power and technique to almost never have do combos, which is useful since whenever he does he'll usually hit whoever he's combo-ing with and be fully aware he did and not care. And this is pretty consistent throughout the series. Alvin Earthworm/Mark Haynes really did make this internet show great and I'm glad he's back making a reboot, albeit I think he's dealing with some stuff the the 2nd episode hasn't come out yet. But I'd rather it take a year for him to complete it after he feels better than to rush when he's depressed.👍🏿
Kolawole Oluyedun Wow I didn't even realize that! Thanks for the explanation! Let's see how it plays out in the reboot. Update on his status: He's come back on the Internet saying he's feeling better (or more stable) and has also said he will make it up to us with the 2nd episode. I can feel the next episode ahead of us!
22:05 As a kid this scene gave me chills. Mecha Sonic staring into the explosion he caused, taking the lives of several animals and the Koopa Bros, and he just has a dead-glare and it still gives me chills ‘til this day...
Mecha was FURIOUS. Or even beyond that. He lost all of the Emeralds that he collected and the Hedgehogs got away. He almost died and only survived from Super Sonic timing out.
Watching him dismantle the Axem Rangers, always make my mouth drop open, because of how effortlessly he defeats them, and just shrugs off Red’s, giga laser.
One thing I will never get over is how the moment Mecha Sonic shows up, the power dynamic in the fight COMPLETELY changes, before Mecha shows up, it's almost a free-for-all with our heroes having the slight upper hand until the breaker beam is pulled out, not only does he make short work of the koopa bros like they're an afterthought, dashing through them and putting them out of commison in an instant, Mecha Sonic then tanks an emerald powered breaker beam head on and overpowers it, THEN goes on to mop the floor with the Axem Rangers X slaughtering them and straight up tanking Axem Red's secret weapon like it was nothing.
To add on to this. What really sells are two things. The length of the fight and the feel of them both. Every villain from the Mario side of things might have power, but they're shown in a sort of fun, Saturday Morning villain of the week kind of way. The music was energetic and most fights are evenly matched. Mecha Sonic meanwhile, completely shatters any kind of fun to be had. He feels like SA-X in Metroid Fusion (which is funny considering the theme that builds him up is from Metroid Prime 3). He's on a mission, and unlike every other Mario character, he's not here to make a show. He wants to upend this entire kingdom like the world he did before to get what he wants. All of that made immediately apparent when he flies into the island as you've mentioned, negating BOTH of the super attacks from the opposing teams, before completely killing one of them in a minute. Mecha Sonic in this series is one of the best villains in my opinion.
Y'know. I think the reason why this episode truly made Mecha Sonic the most official badass "fan-based" character. What this guy has turned Mecha Sonic into intimidated the Ultimate Life Form, making his heartbeat stagger for just a moment. I really hope that Alvin keeps the tension that Shadow and Mecha have. Or rather... Just Shadow. (Because Mecha literally seems like a sociopath in the most glorious fan-boy form.)
Jared Burk The reboot will be even more epic, brutal and emotional. Just look at the first episode... I hope Mark has the strength to give every episode a good treatment
back when i was about 7 when i saw mecha sonic appear in any scene i was terrified. especially when he was murdering the axem rangers. i was wondering if this dufus was incincible. alvin did a really good job on showing how strong mecha sonic was
BILL XRL ikr to this day i still wonder what he would have been like when he finally got all 7 chaos emeralds what kind of unstopable monster he would have become. It still gives me chills just thinkng about it.
Ye..Mark knows how to introduce villians...tha music...this is the third scene with him in this series and I still shit my pants and tink "They can't land a single hit on him
BILL XRL It's probably nothing compared to his final form that we'll see in the reboot. Matter of fact Metallix in the reboot will probably be even more brutal than Mecha Sonic in the reboot
Sonic made 'em look bad. Mario made 'em look weak. Shadow made 'em look like fucking jokes. Mecha Sonic made them look like literally nothing. RIP Koopa Bros and Axem Rangers.
looked like they were all holding their own to me until Mecha came and wrecked all three teams. But for entertainment: -Sonic Made 'em look like shitzus -Mario made em look like chihuahuas -Shadow made em look like ants -but Luigi made em look like fricken polar bears
Not only does this animation hold up all these years later but it's even better with age. It's insane that this masterpiece was created by a single person
lol to be honest that was better than anything dbz or dbs had to offer the closest to this was when frieza was dodging piccolo gohan and krillins attacks like they were nothing but frieza didnt kill them or anything nothing like this
maybe it'll be a good idea to take out a bigass beam cannon that is suppose to kill everything it aim at WHILE all my friends are fighting that one guy I want to shoot

21:22 is still a masterpiece, even today. the eerie music, the way it fades out as the blast makes contact, and how all the sounds of the impact are drowned out ten-fold by the explosion. it's still horrifying all these years later, and i shudder to think of how mark will do this a second time around.
What is really sad Is that the rest of the koopa Bros were still conscious and they died off screen. It also gives that really eerie end of the world situation since that was straight up a mock-up of the supernova
My favorite moments in this series are those such as this 12:51 casually talking while they’re still shooting up into the atmosphere at 100 mph, as indicated by the clouds in the background, I love how we were all able to overlook this.
Like, sprite animations were all the rage but every so often, a masterpiece emerges from any medium that represents the best that medium has to offer. This is that, this is greatest sprite animation series ever made.
AH So you're back. Wasn't episode 2 remake epic?! Now you're here, watching your childhood for the 1256489403027 time, and its still as badass as the first time you saw it. Welcome back, Champ.
This episode of SMBZ is one of 2 times I consider fan stuff objectively better than official media. The only other is Monty Oum. I've rarely if ever encountered a fight scene as well put together as this. How a single guy is able to keep it together with something this intense is just amazing. I can't even skip throught the vid properly with just how DENSE the fighting is. Even this guys dialogue is improving at the time, implementing foreshadowing and the like. One thing I really liked is Shadow only really putting effort into fighting when he's facing Metal Sonic or when someone he considers important is in danger. Like he's unusually more violent when Yoshi and Luigi are in danger specifically. Just another hint Alvin is freakin' amazing. Him and Monty ARE godlike in their medium.
Now that I think about it, the reason why Mecha's "I'LL CRUSH YOU!" Is such an iconic moment, is that it's possibly the first and ONLY time where the full dialouge is read out loud.
not just the height of sprite fighting, but from a narrative perspective, such an amazingly written story and conflict. Alvin Earthworm, where ever he is, I'm sure he's making amazing things
Well, sort of. Yoshi's New Island takes place right after the first game. I think it's better to say that if this series was canon, we know where the Tribe would go next and that the Yoshi's already living on New Island are a different group.
Ah, the good ol' days when I was a child watching these and understanding nothing but getting excited anyway because I didn't know English lmao. It feels so different now, I can understand what is going on, and the thing is, what I understood when I was a kid mostly matches the story!
YES! Somebody finally uses the Blue Shell power-up from the original New Super Mario Bros. game for the DS! That is my personal favorite Mario power-up, so to see it finally being used in a fan-animation is wonderful for me.
Ibrahim Awais Well, I feel like they should but the abilities shouldn't be as overpowered. For example, maybe you get Chaos control at 4 emeralds instead of 1.
Seriously...Alvin Earthworm should have been a DBZ Director/Producer! This is a really awesome Animated Series, I would really love to know what happens next after Episode 9...!
Honestly the BEST episode in the series. Very action packed and beautiful choreography in the battles. Plus Wario catching fire from seemingly out of nowhere is hilarious.
Still my favorite sprite fight of all time. Alvin Earthworm went ALL THE WAY in this. There is so much attention to detail in the choreography and ten years later I am still finding new little nuances in the spritework. This video always gets me pumped.
I don't care what opinions you have on this series or other sprite series, I respect them. But it is hard fact that THIS episode is the episode that truly cemented SMBZ's status as one of the most if not THE most legendary sprite series in history so far. It had fights with intensity we'd never seen at the time, and each and every move just connects so smoothly. And the memorable music selection makes it all the better.
even though there were a few moments with rough animation (sonic running up the mountain for example) i still overall think this is the best episode of smbz, the fights are so good
Olaf I think base form Shadow, Mario and Sonic could kill him in his normal form. It's sad the minus world was really the only chance they had at killing him once and for all.
***** Sonic stronger than Mario? Nooo way, and don't bring up Death battle. And seriously, just compare the Mecha Sonic _here_, to the Mecha Sonic in Sonic 3. See the difference? Mecha Sonic is very capable of killing Sonic in his normal form. Have you watched ep. 7 yet? Shadow is easily the strongest on their team, and is more than willing to beat Mecha Sonic in his normal form. Hell, I'd say he'd be able to defeat Mecha Sonic in his semi-super from if he took off his inhibitor rings and let out a Chaos Blast without Mecha Knowing. That would scratch him for sure.
***** Let's just steer away from the Sonic VS Mario thing and stay on topic. Yoshi cannot beat Mecha Sonic without help. Ep.3 proves this (Or, Ep.2, one of them). Sonic may beat Mecha Sonic if he has enough motivation to do so, but the chances are still slim. Shadow and Mario are the strongest members on their team, Shadow with his Chaos Powers and super speed, and Mario with his super strength/jumping abilities, they can easily win against Mecha in his normal form.
***** Just what does Yoshi have over Mecha Sonic? I honestly can't see one thing... His long tongue is nothing against Mecha Sonic's Chaos Control, the ground pound wouldn't work against Mecha's metal body, am I missing something here?
The expectations for this episode's reboot are through the fucking roof (rightfully so). I feel bad for Alvin having all that pressure on his shoulders.
Mecha Sonic is one of the most terrifying villains ever made. He commands every scene he's in and when he shows up you always fear for everyone's lives. He is a complete monster.
Probably one of the best flash battle animations in internet history,everything was building up to that point and this episode is the explosion of the amount of conflicts going with the series,and all of that is masterfully represented in this episode
Agreed wholeheartedly.
I literally cannot wait to see what the remastered is gonna be like because it's already equaling this.
The 3-way sky fight. Absolutely legendary series.
I’m not joking when I say this, the battle in this episode is better than ANY anime or hollywood fight I have ever seen

I like how the animator made all of them shine and since they mostly have different powers it was in their own way
Don’t forget Luigi. He was able to contribute a lot to the team despite hiding in that shell ever since he found it.

Mecha was FURIOUS. Or even beyond that. He lost all of the Emeralds that he collected and the Hedgehogs got away. He almost died and only survived from Super Sonic timing out.
He didn’t even laugh about all the destruction!

One thing I will never get over is how the moment Mecha Sonic shows up, the power dynamic in the fight COMPLETELY changes, before Mecha shows up, it's almost a free-for-all with our heroes having the slight upper hand until the breaker beam is pulled out, not only does he make short work of the koopa bros like they're an afterthought, dashing through them and putting them out of commison in an instant, Mecha Sonic then tanks an emerald powered breaker beam head on and overpowers it, THEN goes on to mop the floor with the Axem Rangers X slaughtering them and straight up tanking Axem Red's secret weapon like it was nothing.
To add on to this.
What really sells are two things. The length of the fight and the feel of them both.
Every villain from the Mario side of things might have power, but they're shown in a sort of fun, Saturday Morning villain of the week kind of way. The music was energetic and most fights are evenly matched.
Mecha Sonic meanwhile, completely shatters any kind of fun to be had. He feels like SA-X in Metroid Fusion (which is funny considering the theme that builds him up is from Metroid Prime 3).
He's on a mission, and unlike every other Mario character, he's not here to make a show. He wants to upend this entire kingdom like the world he did before to get what he wants.
All of that made immediately apparent when he flies into the island as you've mentioned, negating BOTH of the super attacks from the opposing teams, before completely killing one of them in a minute.
Mecha Sonic in this series is one of the best villains in my opinion.
14:01 That is the most reasonable reaction to have.
Except for 17:40
Salnax
Nah that time too lmao
I remember as a kid losing my shit laughing at those parts still am
Salnax no
Alvin had some good humor
Y'know. I think the reason why this episode truly made Mecha Sonic the most official badass "fan-based" character. What this guy has turned Mecha Sonic into intimidated the Ultimate Life Form, making his heartbeat stagger for just a moment.
I really hope that Alvin keeps the tension that Shadow and Mecha have. Or rather... Just Shadow. (Because Mecha literally seems like a sociopath in the most glorious fan-boy form.)

Jared Burk The reboot will be even more epic, brutal and emotional. Just look at the first episode... I hope Mark has the strength to give every episode a good treatment
Jared Burk
I'm just mentioning that Mecha Sonic isn't fan-made, he appered in Sonic 3
Man, this is Super Mario Bros. Z at its peak. Episode 6 really did raise the stakes
This was and always will be my favorite episode of SMBZ. It's badass, it's sad, it has it all.
I don't know if it always will be. I bet the reboot's version of this fight will be terrifyingly awesome.
me2
freespace2dotcom Can't wait for that day!
freespace2dotcom i'm looking forward to this moment too my friend
BILL XRL We all are :D
back when i was about 7 when i saw mecha sonic appear in any scene i was terrified. especially when he was murdering the axem rangers. i was wondering if this dufus was incincible. alvin did a really good job on showing how strong mecha sonic was
BILL XRL ikr to this day i still wonder what he would have been like when he finally got all 7 chaos emeralds what kind of unstopable monster he would have become. It still gives me chills just thinkng about it.
Ye..Mark knows how to introduce villians...tha music...this is the third scene with him in this series and I still shit my pants and tink "They can't land a single hit on him
BILL XRL It's probably nothing compared to his final form that we'll see in the reboot. Matter of fact Metallix in the reboot will probably be even more brutal than Mecha Sonic in the reboot
I agree!
He’s totally invisible
Sonic made 'em look bad.
Mario made 'em look weak.
Shadow made 'em look like fucking jokes.
Mecha Sonic made them look like literally nothing.
RIP Koopa Bros and Axem Rangers.
17:40 luigi's scream doe
I miss them
Luigi made 'em... ?
@@jamiegioca9448 Look like a prop to help them
looked like they were all holding their own to me until Mecha came and wrecked all three teams. But for entertainment:
-Sonic Made 'em look like shitzus
-Mario made em look like chihuahuas
-Shadow made em look like ants
-but Luigi made em look like fricken polar bears
Not only does this animation hold up all these years later but it's even better with age. It's insane that this masterpiece was created by a single person
11:35 - 13:27 Words cannot describe how awesome that fight scene is.
That was not a fight, that was a funeral.
U mean massacre
lol to be honest that was better than anything dbz or dbs had to offer the closest to this was when frieza was dodging piccolo gohan and krillins attacks like they were nothing but frieza didnt kill them or anything nothing like this
Spaghetti Boy Alex That was an onslaught, not a battle, hell, it was a massacre
I got 3 words from Mecha Sonic I Crush You .
I don't know what it is, but I keep returning to this series for the fight scenes. Definitely some of the most epic fights ever.
"I'll crush you!"
best line of the series
To me, the best line is: "It's over 9000!!!!!"
The face Luigi makes at 14:00 is exactly how my first reaction to seeing Mecha Sonic obliterating the Axem Rangers was
12:33 *"Time I introduced you to my secret weapon. But only after all my friends are killed!"*
Seriously though
Every anime hero
maybe it'll be a good idea to take out a bigass beam cannon that is suppose to kill everything it aim at WHILE all my friends are fighting that one guy I want to shoot
Do I smell a TeamFourStar reference...? Or is my sniffer off?
For the person reading this message I hope you are doing good, I want to share this in a lot of comment sections so it can reach everyone possible including you so please read until the end:
God loves you a lot and he wants you to be saved and happy, nothing in this world like money, fun or popularity can fill the emptiness in your heart, only his son Jesus who died for you can fill you who might not nothing know about him. He knows you more than yourself. You who turned your back to him, he is still waiting for you with his arms open to receive you again. You who fought against him and have done things that are unforgivable in your eyes, he will always see you as his son and he already paid the price for all your sins. Even if the world doesn’t forgive you, all that you need is God and everything will be alright, so trust God and no one else. Repent from your sins and never go back to them, and the most important thing is that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior with your voice and your heart, when you do all these things, pray to God and read the Bible(Christian Bible not a Catholic since the Catholic one might’ve changed the word of God to something that it is not God’s word but men’s, so read a christian Bible) so that you get to know God. Follow it’s word completely, because some people might say that the times and things have changed, but God never changes, the Bible says that the heavens and earth will pass but his word will never pass and that means that the things God didn’t like back then he still doesn’t like today. So don’t let anyone tell you that now you can have sex before marriage or something like that just because everyone does it, because the Bible says that wide is the path to destruction and many walk through it. When you pray, ask God to guide you so that you always walk in his righteousness and so that he gives you strength so you don’t fall to sin, and don’t just say I am a Christian and never read your bible or end up not praying because being a follower of God means building a father and son-daughter relationship with him. Fast and pray and be his son not only in words but also in your actions.
Today God has showed grace to you who might be depressed, empty, are being hated or hates, or maybe you don’t receive genuine love this is even for you who enjoys or is comfortable with your current life. Whoever you who is reading this is, know that God is calling you to give you a future and a hope in this life and in the eternal life. Trust him, because he loves you so much that is beyond understanding, and the time is short.
After you finish reading this message you might die or Jesus might return, so be ready and follow him, for today he stretched his hand to you because he loves you and cares for you and he doesn’t want you to go to hell, so please go to him, it will be hard because living for God means denying yourself and the things that you might like, but it will be the best decision you will make in your entire existence and I promise you it will be worth more than any of the things that you don’t want to let go of. Make the right choice, because today God has stretched his hand to you who he loves so much that he even died for knowing all the bad things you have done. That is how much love he has and will always have for you.
I don’t know you but you might be going through hard times, so keep these words in mind that God gives hope to the hopeless and he heals any wounds including the ones from the heart, and he can do the same for you regardless of anything. Thank you for reading, God bless you always
I can't help but find it hilarious that Mecha Sonic took time out to clobber the whole team on his way up to get Shadow at 15:50
21:22 is still a masterpiece, even today.
the eerie music, the way it fades out as the blast makes contact, and how all the sounds of the impact are drowned out ten-fold by the explosion. it's still horrifying all these years later, and i shudder to think of how mark will do this a second time around.
What is really sad Is that the rest of the koopa Bros were still conscious and they died off screen.
It also gives that really eerie end of the world situation since that was straight up a mock-up of the supernova
My favorite moments in this series are those such as this 12:51
casually talking while they’re still shooting up into the atmosphere at 100 mph, as indicated by the clouds in the background,
I love how we were all able to overlook this.
14:01 that face is so priceless, i laugh so hard for 5 minutes after seeing Luigi's face.
17:11 “FAREWELL SONIC. HAVE A HAPPY AFTERLIFE.”
That may be the kindest thing Mecha Sonic ever said
And that's still when he's about to blast the dude to smithereens.
I mean, at this point, this probably the most chipper he's been in the series
Me, 7 years ago: “Holy heck this is cool!”
Me, now: *gripping my pillow with the sheer amount of adrenaline radiating from my screen*
i agree with the over 9000 joke. it was mandatory
Smashgunner Every dbz parody has to make this joke
It’s 1006, go get em yellow
When you turn sv_cheats on
*its over 9000!!*
it's tradition.
Mecha Sonic summoned an image of our sun in order to destroy Yoshi Island. Hardcore.
Its actually the Death Ball nove of Frieza from DBZ. But yea, what a dick!
+Sharpteeth Nile
It was really a (bunch of) pictures of our sun though.
H enryuuki It was mimicking the Death Ball move though.
Sharpteeth Nile Yes, but displaying pictures of our sun.
H enryuuki Yes, to mimic the Death Ball move.
Like, sprite animations were all the rage but every so often, a masterpiece emerges from any medium that represents the best that medium has to offer.
This is that, this is greatest sprite animation series ever made.
I love this series. I remember being a kid and watching the entire thing.
“Okay class, today we’re gonna play king of the hill.”
Girls: Eww, no, I’ll get all sweaty.

AH So you're back. Wasn't episode 2 remake epic?! Now you're here, watching your childhood for the 1256489403027 time, and its still as badass as the first time you saw it.
Welcome back, Champ.
man
I feel loved and heard.
In 2018: I have to say this fight scene is still badass.
still in 2020.
Still in 2021
It feels like it's still brand new as ever!
2022 marks 15 years since this episode was released and it hasn’t gotten any worse.
@@nmk1ng 15 YEARS???? Alvin should’ve been getting paid to make these
This episode of SMBZ is one of 2 times I consider fan stuff objectively better than official media. The only other is Monty Oum. I've rarely if ever encountered a fight scene as well put together as this. How a single guy is able to keep it together with something this intense is just amazing. I can't even skip throught the vid properly with just how DENSE the fighting is. Even this guys dialogue is improving at the time, implementing foreshadowing and the like.
One thing I really liked is Shadow only really putting effort into fighting when he's facing Metal Sonic or when someone he considers important is in danger. Like he's unusually more violent when Yoshi and Luigi are in danger specifically. Just another hint Alvin is freakin' amazing. Him and Monty ARE godlike in their medium.
Now that I think about it, the reason why Mecha's "I'LL CRUSH YOU!" Is such an iconic moment, is that it's possibly the first and ONLY time where the full dialouge is read out loud.
Hearing DMC3 music in a Mario & Sonic flash animation is peak 00s
Favorite Episode
my favorite Episode too
Tell me about it.
Tell what?
kw2468ful About how it's my favorite episode.

I’ll never forget this series, such a huge part of my childhood. Feels so nostalgic revisiting it now I’m 17 lol

Erm……. You’re 18 now bro… kinda awkward…
@@APsGTG Why?
@@APsGTG What? What’s that’s supposed to mean?
This is easily the best episode of the series, and Alvin Earthworm’s magnum opus
not just the height of sprite fighting, but from a narrative perspective, such an amazingly written story and conflict. Alvin Earthworm, where ever he is, I'm sure he's making amazing things
who's waching in 2019 cus that 9000 meme is still lit.

Me as well!

If this series was canon, it could explain Yoshi's New Island. :P
Well, sort of. Yoshi's New Island takes place right after the first game.
I think it's better to say that if this series was canon, we know where the Tribe would go next and that the Yoshi's already living on New Island are a different group.
I remember I nearly fell off my chair the first time I heard Luigi's "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" at 17:40
And part of what makes Luigi's reactions so funny is that they're so appropriate for the situation. I love it.
Joseph Frombaugh Luigi feel suprised isn't he?
that's the scream of someone trying to turn super saiyan xD
AnimeTrend lol more like trying to shit their pants
IT IS SUPER FUNNY 😁😁😀😀😁😁😁😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Ah, the good ol' days when I was a child watching these and understanding nothing but getting excited anyway because I didn't know English lmao. It feels so different now, I can understand what is going on, and the thing is, what I understood when I was a kid mostly matches the story!
Mecha Sonic is the best villian xD
***** he's more like Cell, actually
Skap Gaming Exactly! Sends a CHILL down my spine just thinking about it.
MARIOX75 Bowser is Frieza.
nah boi there's more evil and stronger villians
But Who Was Phone? No, he's not because he murdered my favorite Sonic characters. All four (or five) of them!
Love Mecha Sonic. He's essentially Cell, trying to become the ultimate being.
Or Buuhan
Also, Omega Shenron and kinda Thanos
@@oceanstar2294 nothing like thanos

@@PeruvianPotato 12:57 - 13:01*
YES! Somebody finally uses the Blue Shell power-up from the original New Super Mario Bros. game for the DS! That is my personal favorite Mario power-up, so to see it finally being used in a fan-animation is wonderful for me.
Am I the only one who thinks the emeralds should NOT have abilities on their OWN!>?
Ibrahim Awais Well, I feel like they should but the abilities shouldn't be as overpowered. For example, maybe you get Chaos control at 4 emeralds instead of 1.
+Ibrahim Awais I agree
“Finally” it was a year after the first game, and it was probably the last time fans used it.
13:01 just the little moments like this. reds face, the noise, metal sonic letting him attack him and just waiting for the blast to end
And then the follow-up. Dear God (Demon?), the follow-up.
@@travisalexander6440 SHUN GOKU SATSU MADE ME LOSE MY SHIT
8 years later and this is still some of the most impressive sprite animation i have ever seen my god i miss this series
Check Super Mario GT
Real revival of this series
It's actually been 13 years since it was originally released on Newgrounds, this is a reupload. I feel so old...
This is literally the greatest thing of all time.
Nothing can ever top this.
Seriously...Alvin Earthworm should have been a DBZ Director/Producer!
This is a really awesome Animated Series, I would really love to know what happens next after Episode 9...!
Well ain't going to happen until the remake gets to that point
Hwan Niggles Yep. The rebooted episodes will look amazing!! Sucks the series is on hold/hiatus
Hwan Niggles I was devastated when i learned that the series has been discontinued.But with the remake i still have faith
BILL XRL The reboot is still on hiatus :( Anyone else still have faith in this series? I still do!
Big-Bonkin-Head yep. If ep.1 looked amazing, imagine how this fight will turn out
Honestly the BEST episode in the series. Very action packed and beautiful choreography in the battles. Plus Wario catching fire from seemingly out of nowhere is hilarious.
i don't think shadow ever heard of friendly fire
Ongaku Shura He's suppose to be like Vegeta. He doesn't care for anyone else.
Except for Bulma sometimes
Fusion 融合 Bloom 456 so rouge and Maria essentially
Big-Bonkin-Head he does care, he's just too full of rage and hatred towards mecha sonic.
He saved Yoshi and Luigi from the rangers using chaos control tho
Still my favorite sprite fight of all time. Alvin Earthworm went ALL THE WAY in this. There is so much attention to detail in the choreography and ten years later I am still finding new little nuances in the spritework. This video always gets me pumped.
This is still easily the best episode of the series even 10+ years later
Sonic came the closest on destroying Mecha Sonic. And the only one who refused to give up :)
Patrick Acosta True!
I thought Shadow was
20:40
Special Beam Vegeta Nope. Sonic almost obliterated Mecha Sonic when he and Mario got that Star
Big-Bonkin-Head shadow could've killed him in mobius
The original creator of this is uploading a higher definition version of the original episodes in 2 days. Y'all should go check it out
Oooh, nice. Where can I find it?
Kamatayon Shi Mark Haynes youtube channel
I don't care what opinions you have on this series or other sprite series, I respect them. But it is hard fact that THIS episode is the episode that truly cemented SMBZ's status as one of the most if not THE most legendary sprite series in history so far. It had fights with intensity we'd never seen at the time, and each and every move just connects so smoothly. And the memorable music selection makes it all the better.
Mario = Goku
Luigi = Gohan
Yoshi = Piccolo
Sonic = Trunks
Shadow = Vegeta
Mecha Sonic = Cell
Axem Rangers = The Ginyu Force
I thought Sonic was Goku
Mecha sonic has CELL'S squeaky step sound effect when he landed
You are exactly right
Sonic IS Goku
who would be koopa bros
I love the DragonBall Kai reference with the title. “Duel on a Vanishing Planet! The Final Showdown!” That’s some nice attention to detail.
The best flash animator in our era, thank you for the memories!
even though there were a few moments with rough animation (sonic running up the mountain for example) i still overall think this is the best episode of smbz, the fights are so good
17:40 when you haven't watched this series in years and you come back hoping to find it continued but nothing changed
M Sonic "Do u ever shut up?"
Red "I will be the one who shut you up!"
M Sonic *"Bold words from someone within my AKUMA range"*
You ever notice that Mecha teleports, excessively
Nah he just move really fast
I would call it teleporting. You know, chaos control and having 4 emeralds. Why wouldn’t he?
He got schmoovement
Mf acting like a Kirby final boss.
Lol I still can't believe that Shadow was actually able to keep up with Semi Super Mecha Sonic!
+R3systems Shadow is could probably solo Mario and Sonic together XD
Olaf I think base form Shadow, Mario and Sonic could kill him in his normal form. It's sad the minus world was really the only chance they had at killing him once and for all.
yes in this episode shadow was alittle overpowered compared to the next episode where he fought base mecha sonic again
If they had kept Mecha Sonic distracted long enough in Minus World, they could've escaped and left him behind to rust
R3systems Not only that but they would've beaten him in there for sure.
12:08
Red: Axem Rangers X, show no mercy!
Mecha Sonic: *proceeds to show no mercy*
The best internet series to this day
This series dominated my childhood. Still fresh, never gets boring.
This is still one of the coolest fucking videos to ever have graced the internet.
The Wario and Waluigi segments are my favourite parts to watch. Apart from the fight scenes.
The only one with enough guts to actually stand a chance against Super Mecha Sonic was Shadow....
***** Well, let's be honest, Shadow (and maybe Mario) is probably the only one who would be able to beat Normal Mecha Sonic.
***** Sonic stronger than Mario? Nooo way, and don't bring up Death battle. And seriously, just compare the Mecha Sonic _here_, to the Mecha Sonic in Sonic 3. See the difference? Mecha Sonic is very capable of killing Sonic in his normal form. Have you watched ep. 7 yet? Shadow is easily the strongest on their team, and is more than willing to beat Mecha Sonic in his normal form. Hell, I'd say he'd be able to defeat Mecha Sonic in his semi-super from if he took off his inhibitor rings and let out a Chaos Blast without Mecha Knowing. That would scratch him for sure.
***** Let's just steer away from the Sonic VS Mario thing and stay on topic. Yoshi cannot beat Mecha Sonic without help. Ep.3 proves this (Or, Ep.2, one of them). Sonic may beat Mecha Sonic if he has enough motivation to do so, but the chances are still slim. Shadow and Mario are the strongest members on their team, Shadow with his Chaos Powers and super speed, and Mario with his super strength/jumping abilities, they can easily win against Mecha in his normal form.
***** Just what does Yoshi have over Mecha Sonic? I honestly can't see one thing... His long tongue is nothing against Mecha Sonic's Chaos Control, the ground pound wouldn't work against Mecha's metal body, am I missing something here?
***** He was stronger then before in part 8, but not stronger than Mario, and I doubt he'd be able to take down Mecha Sonic single-handedly.
I still can’t believe how GOOD this still looks!
I cant wait to see ep6 again but from 11:46, bruh its too CLEAN, even after 15+ years
This is seriously one of the greatest pieces of animation ever.
Rewatching in 2024!
Wow,I remember when saw for first time...
19 years ago...
Ohhhhh what a time to get recommended this. Prob gonna see this reanimated in like 5+ years but it will be worth it.
this was the episode in the series that made me truly realize Haynes' talent for fight choreography.
Who’s watching this during Quarantine and the Protests? Just randomly thought of the doomsday theme, and this came to mind.
Me
same
I hate how people how acting like the protests are normal and are just chilling, look I grew with this too but cmon man
@@PeruvianPotato Riots are messed up yeah
When alvan remakes this fight, don't even think about how cool that will be. Just wait for it.
It's gonna be god like.
BRO ITS GONNA BE FUCKING STUPENDOUS
It’s gonna be super brutal!
15:08 this scene proves that Shadow is the best fighter in Marios team
This also proves that Luigi never took damage this entire episode
+Andy Kisuka 1:44 and 22:36?
+Treason 1:44 was basically an accident. He wasn't really hurt by the Axem Rangers or the Koopa Bros or even by his friends same with 22:36
+Andy Kisuka oh and it shows how shadow attack all of the Mario team with his chaos blast
Nope....Sonic defeated shadow like 82737 times at his games and Sonic was the last standing after the fight
Reboot hype anyone? If the Yoshi fight is what it is, then god knows what this’ll be.
The expectations for this episode's reboot are through the fucking roof (rightfully so). I feel bad for Alvin having all that pressure on his shoulders.
ITS SO SAD WHEN YOSHI ISLAND GETS DESTROYED! :C
Ah the memories I remeber watching this on newgrounds back in the day still waiting for new episodes to come out good times good times
Mecha Sonic is one of the most terrifying villains ever made. He commands every scene he's in and when he shows up you always fear for everyone's lives. He is a complete monster.
Luigi is comedy gold.
14:00
17:40
2024 anyone?
Yes sir!
Yuuurrrrrrr
Here
Same
Hoping Zephire’s conspiracy theory is right and this is Sonic 5.
the greatest fight choreography in any form of media of all time, Alvin is a genius
And this episode is getting a collab project right now, people are posting their attempts to recreate this amazing episode with rebooted style.
19:48 Everything from this moment is great, from the transformation of Mario and Sonic, the fight, the destruction of the island, etc.
5:14 Love that clash
2025 anyone ?
Can't believe this animation is almost 20 years old 🤯
The scene when Sonic runs up the mountain is just great
