He was a good guy,if he hadn't died he would be making animations. The worst part of all,apart of his devasted family,is that Randy Solem missed a lot of good things:like Twitch and the amazing 3Ds,Wii U and Switch titles. Would you imagine Randy Solem streaming? In the loving memory of gaming and flash animation,rest pacefully Randy Solem III(1975-2012) we will never forget you
I remember being on Newgrounds the day I found out of his passing. I hope his daughter grew up to remember him and see all of his incredible work. What a fantastic storyteller. Thanks for the memories, Randy. May you rest in peace.
The ending of this series got me happy tears every time I watched it. PM's Love Theme from Love Actually fits the ending of the series perfectly! It is truly the happy ending of the series! I love the ending and the music so much! That was the time copyrighted music can be used in the 2000s and the early 2010s on RUclips and Newgrounds until times have changed. RIP Randy Solem. You're a true genius at making Flash animations with dedication and love. You have inspire many new animators in future generations. Thank you, Randy. We miss you very much.
There are so many jokes I didn’t get the first dozen times I watched this. That was mostly a generational thing. But one thing I DO remember is being able to spot Arnie near the end of the cartoon.
Poor Luigi found that the dream in part 1-2 was a WARNING. Sad he sacrificed himself for saving Mario, though he eventually came back. I remember from 5th grade the music in 10:49, cuz we watched this so often, we used that same song as an intro for a program there. This really put the black sheep Super Mario Bros 2 (Doki Doki Panic) into epic proportions. Randy did awesome work. RIP that creative man... That part where Mouser gets killed (4:55), that's what happens if two evolved Eeveelutions get the full jump on you. Yeah, another Eevee joke. Lol And, look closely in 9:28 (pause there) for a cool, hidden easter egg.
Came here because I was watching some Mario animations, and I eventually remembered of this series. Till the day, I'll believe this series is worth of an official animated movie. It has a great concept. Also, rest in peace Randy, we're always proud of your work here. 🖤
I watched these flash movies back when they were fairly new at the time, even before when the 4th and final part was finally released to the public that I was waiting for at the time. Sad that the original creator behind these flash videos passed away and that the original website he ran folded.
I didn’t know he passed. 😢 Thought he might have gone on to do other things with animation. Can’t begin to describe how much those animations brought me joy, and the idea of making our own stories with video game characters cracked open the imagination.
Thank you for helping start the Sprite revolution we all know and love today. You know you made a mark 20 years later people still remember. I saw wart in a video and it reminded me of this classic. R.I.P Randy.
Gracias Randy Salem por este video tan nostaligo, recuerdo que vi esta animación cuando estába pequeño y ahora que tengo 14 años, veo esto y casi lloro, que descanze en Paz Randy Solem.
Well, it was meant as a reference/parody on Oddjob from the James Bond franchise. He's a villian with sharp metal edges on his hat, which he used to throw at his victims like a frisbee and because the edges on the brim, were sharp, it would decaitate them. In Toy Story 2, there's a similiar reference where Mr. Potato Head throws his hat to prevent the doors to street from closing when Buzz and Co go after Al when he's leaving for Japan towards the end.

This was a major influence that led me to the animation industry today, and wanted to give something back - especially in honour of Randy. I haven’t timecoded anything or said when they play so the comment isn’t so long, but they are in order of appearance and usually only use a sample (I’ve also left out repeats of the same music used more than once in the list). Feel free to message me if you need any of it clarifying. This same comment is on Parts 1 and 2 but obviously with the track list for those parts.
Action Theme #2 is listed twice in the list, with the last one being in-between Clubbed to Death and Ending from Super Mario Bros 2. It must have been some other music as it's not that one when Mario falls towards his death over the spikes before Luigi comes and rescues him.
I can’t seem to find any uploads of this “Chants” song you mentioned. Also, what the hell is the song that plays when Mario is about to fall on the spikes?
@@InsaneKorean77 That track is also called "Incidental Mysterious 5" - it became tricky when unofficial soundtracks have inconsistent names - I can't remember where I found it as "Chants", but since this has been added to Spotify. Likewise "Action Theme 3" can also be "Incidental Action 3", which is when Mario is falling.
6:56 Flower: HUH? Kun? Kun is a strange-looking name. Kun is the Goomba's Name. It's always not my favorite character. Accana? Accana is a fan of this video.
Rest in peace you gave me a good memory as a kid it's very sad to see you died at the age of 37 may you rest in peace and may your family not suffer from the❤❤ with all my heart thank you for giving me a good memory
The only thing you lose out on by RUclips vs flash was the mouse over of the two Toads raw doggin it behind one of the windows in the end scene. Never forget the day I accidentally discovered that one. Rest in Peace Randy, you were truly an inspiration for so many!

I didn’t see this animation until just today. Let me say that this is INSANELY well made. It’s a shame that the creator of this masterpiece passed away. May he rest in piece😭 Also, is it just me or do the stars in the sky after the toads blow up Wart’s castle look almost exactly like the nether star from the Wither Storm in Minecraft Story mode?
i have known this for years i used to watch this when i was little i am 24 years old it is already 20 years old i feel sad i don't understand 1 thing how did mario come to life in part 3
Esto lo ví en 2009, a los 8 años. Lo miré junto con mis hermanos menores, todavía recuerdo cuando tenía ganas de llorar al ver morir a Mario. Psdt: Soy Fan de Super Mario desde los 4 años.

Rest in Peace Randy. A man who put dedication and love into his animations, and to his family.

👏👏👏 I really appreciate this work, I always got to immerse myself in the emotions of the characters, every second was totally worth it 👏👏👏
Almost 20 years old and it looks this good.
Yeah, they aged VERY well compared to the other Flash Mario videos made after it.
for the old times.
thanks for the pretty and rare childhood Randy. C-:
Randy wherever you are, thanks for everything.

so happy these still exist. grew up watching these and got hit hard re-watching them.
There are so many jokes I didn’t get the first dozen times I watched this. That was mostly a generational thing. But one thing I DO remember is being able to spot Arnie near the end of the cartoon.
Randy Solem. Rest in GLORY, LEGEND.
Legends never die.

He came back thanks to the 1-up.

I remember checking his website constantly for updates. The eventual release of episode 4 was monumental.
I wish we had a 1UP Mushroom for Randy. 😢
don’t we all with we had a 1-up?
You only live once for your eyes only
1UP mushroom isn’t in real life
Yes, for randy, but this is real life, and we had 1 up mushroom for him

7:57 - Cappy!
Sort of, but this is actually taken from the Oddjob hat throw from James Bond.
7:57 This right here? Aged like fine wine. Godspeed Randy.
12:38
Never light flammable pressurized methane (like Wart's farting) on fire if you can't escape the explosion.
Rest in peace randy
It’s great to see this old video again and we’re going to miss him.🥲😇
"Randy Solem may have died but he never stops to help inspire other people for what's right, may the god be with you.."
watched this at 8 years old.
glad so many others had fond memories of this stuff. newgrounds was that shit
this was my childhood right here
Same.
Yup.
Allow me to add my signature as well.

7:45 "I'm the great Wart! Hahaha!"

YAY now everyone lives happily ever after!

You are totally correct! I've amended it - it was Action Theme "3" from the same game. Thanks!
You missed one music in the list for Part 3: Stage Boss from Super Mario 64, Koji Kondo, after Ending Demo and Pain and Retribution.
I can’t seem to find any uploads of this “Chants” song you mentioned. Also, what the hell is the song that plays when Mario is about to fall on the spikes?

This is nostalgic
This was way better than the Mario movie
The Mario movie was ok,but this flash animation is the proof that you can make the Super Mario series something epic and profund.
