Thanks very much for taking time to make this in depth analysis video for my series. It's always heartwarming to know how much my hobby has inspired people over the years. I hope everyone looks forward to what I have in store in the future. 😁
Probably heard this from countless others, but truly thank you for everything you've done! Sure as all heck as done much to spur on the imagination. Thanks again!
The fact that we have a licensed Sonic comic that references this series with Mecha Sonic screaming "I'LL CRUSH YOU!!" Speaks volumes to the level of talent and passion shown :D
SMBZ is such an amazing show. The fact that it was all done by one guy is just mind blowing. Mark Haynes has truly been an inspiration to the sprite community.
lol underrated... its one of the most well known fan series Side by Side with Chakra X's Sonic: Nazo Unleashed. Every fan animation since have been a love note to those two.
@@Zicetec2000 Sorry, I always say underrated when I always see something good it wasn’t the right word to use so I’ll correct myself. SMBZ is such a good series and it deserved the attention and success.
I remember checking out Newgrounds in 2009 when I was a little kid, and finding this channel on RUclips. His work influenced my taste, and I appreciate his work.
I love that Vinny transition. But in all seriousness, I binged the hell out of this series and have followed the reboot since it was first announced. Some of the best fan work out there and I hope despite all it's ups and downs, Mark can make a complete story he's happy with.
Good lord, I remember back in middle school my friends and I chilling in the back on the classroom during class and watching SMBZ and playing other Flash games on New grounds. I still rewatch the O.G run and the reboot here and there because it's just that enjoyable.
2:22 I have to appreciate that when you spoke about fan continuations, you used footage from Mark's preview of episode 9 that doesn't appear to be on any of his accounts anymore.
I never actually got into SMBZ, but I've been obsessed with a series inspired by it for around 10 years now, SMBHOTS. Honestly both it and SMBZ are extremely underrated, I wish the whole genre of sprite-animated Mario content got more love.
I remember how these kinds of animations inspired me to make my own sprite animations back in 2012-2019. Without a (non-school) computer, the best I could do was sub par skits on Scratch. I rewatched the SMBZ series this month, and the FIRST thing I did was upgrade my character sprites. Thank you, Mark Haynes.
I love how much Alvin-Earthworm keep going, even after the previous moments in the past. really find him keep on going 10/10 But let's all give him just the time, and do not ask when new one.. it could be for you first said but there will be tons more.. Great of a return classic.
I remember me when i was 7 years old but dont understand English and i saw i can have subtiles in French 🤩..Now with remake, i'm gonna be ready to see how he become better in animation. Also some fan of the serie make their own serie like Super Mario DX. And thank you for this vid 👋😀
It is like DBZ but with better character usage and more thought put into things other than just the fights. The narrative doesn't devolve into "only the hedgehogs matter" or "only the mario bros. matter." No. Mario, Sonic, Shadow, Luigi, and Yoshi *ALL* matter. They're a consistent team with solid characterization. No character is thrown away because they weren't born as the "correct race". There's no rigid power hierarchy between them because there simply doesn't need to be one. Again, they're a *team.* And hell, these guys and the supporting cast can carry an episode or 2 straight; there doesn't even need to be a fight every episode. The only "letdown" character-wise is Mecha Sonic. He's a cliche, one-dimensional, predictable villain. His only claim to fame is his ability to consistently insight fear, which will most definitely get old if it remains his only recognizable trait. However, .... whatever. I put "letdown" in quotes because he's still a serviceable villain. Not every bad guy needs to have a compelling characterization.
Just stumbled upon your channel! Nice amazing well tribute review to SMBZ!!!!!! You earned an new subscriber from me! Keep up the amazing tribute review work!!!!!

Thank you so much for giving us all something I still look back so fondly on to this day! I can’t thank you enough!
Looking forward to the next episode my friend. Just watched the recent video you posted today. Man I had a good laugh
Yoo mark the preview of episode 3 is crazy 💪
I gotta know, do you know what the final episode's plot was meant to be?
And now, IDW has referenced it with Mecha screaming "I'll crush you". We have gone full circle
I remember being a kid checking Newgrounds every single day for new episodes.
You and me both lol. Every single day and latching onto the screen to see the brand new episode like a fly stuck to tar paper.
Yooo fr
Those were the days.

Underrated? You mean Overrated

I remember seeing this fan made series on RUclips when I was a kid, it was part of my childhood next to Nazo unleashed

Smbz was one of kind. It really was a amazing experience.

A preview for the next episode just came out a few hours ago of this posting
Very well put together video! This series was a classic for me and I appreciate the reflection you made
I love how much Alvin-Earthworm keep going, even after the previous moments in the past. really find him keep on going 10/10
But let's all give him just the time, and do not ask when new one.. it could be for you first said but there will be tons more..
Great of a return classic.
Mark Haynes just released a scene 1 preview of the new rebooted episode 3 not a few hours ago, it was incredible. Go check it out!
Underrated creator. That horror video was god tier. Can’t wait to see u grow to 10k+ (just like I did with TUV)
I remember me when i was 7 years old but dont understand English and i saw i can have subtiles in French 🤩..Now with remake, i'm gonna be ready to see how he become better in animation. Also some fan of the serie make their own serie like Super Mario DX. And thank you for this vid 👋😀
A masterpiece for sure. Great review
Is a pity he just remember all of us when this happens
This is absolutely outstanding! And it's just the beginning of the video.
It is like DBZ but with better character usage and more thought put into things other than just the fights.

Alvin has a Fine way of animating. Not too much, not too little. The man is a Guru.
A classic I tell you
This shit was my childhood. And the thing.
My mom is the one who found this for me.
Why does every perfect series have to shut down like avengers earth’s mightiest heros or super Mario bros Z 😔
Great video! You deserve more views
mecha sonic bombing yoshi island? was cool as fuck
Just stumbled upon your channel! Nice amazing well tribute review to SMBZ!!!!!! You earned an new subscriber from me! Keep up the amazing tribute review work!!!!!
“THE BEST FAN SERIES”
“the fan best series”
i would really recommend to all fans of SMBZ to check out All Star Bros by SpacePea
I will make the futur of super Mario bros z on a Lego stopmotion if my series is not copyrighted
Looking forward to it! 🫡
I would rather watch this series again than the Mario movie because at least this series gets the Mario humor right.
Oh my gosh I love this vid
I will tell the truth, compinches: Mark Haynes is the father of sprite animations...The truth, that is.
Nintendo better not shut this series down, I swear......
Amazing😁
twitter.com/NostalgicWiz
These super Mario bros z series are dead : no more episodes
SMBZ is DBZ with Sonic and Mario but a million times better
EPISODE 3 OF THR REBOOT SOON RAHHHH
mechaa sonics, new sprite is ugly
At least the "ugly" Mecha Sonic sprite is better than what someone else came up with that Smashinity stole for his own purposes.
Thats because it's not mecha Sonic, its a new character named Metallix
@@user-wo5hi8kk2b dont care who it is. still ugly
