I mean if there was a new Mario tv series what should it be like? Anime? Comedy? Based on a game e.g Super Mario 64.
-
Anime, because only the Japanese could not screw it up.
-
Obviously you've never seen F-Zero GP Legend, Sonic X, and Kirby: Right Back at ya.

I have! And they were all disapointments!

Sonic X is okay. If it weren't for bad voice selection and Chris hogging the spotlight, It would have been awsome.
-
I've seen a couple episodes of Kirby, but I don't know enough about the game series to have been either disapointed nor impressed. I did rather like the animation style, however, and if they were to make a new Mario show I would kind of like it to look similar. And hopefully they'd get some good writers. I mean, they don't have to be Emmy Winners or anything, but just not the same old guys who write Power Rangers and stuff.
To be honest, though, I'd rather see a Mario comic series than a Mario cartoon. Comics give you alot more freedom than TV does.

All would pale in comparison to the Super Mario Brothers Super Show.
As such, no new cartoon will ever be created.
-
If they ever do make a new Mario cartoon they'd better hire Charles Martinet instead of getting some idiot they already had with an awful Italian impersonation like they did for The Simpsons and Robot Chicken.

That would be a spendy but excellent idea.

Kirby was good.

I saw the Sonic show once. It is very cheesy. Almost as cheesy as the voices in Sonic Battle 2. So I guess if they were trying to be like the video game they did a good job.
If a tree falls in the woods, do all the others laugh at it?
-
I saw an episode of Kirby. It seemed like a good thing to watch if I were a few years younger.
And I liked the Mario cartoons by DiC. And the Sonic ones. I still can't believe Jaleel White (Urkel) did the voice of Sonic. Heh.
-
They should make it like Donkey Kong Country, where it's animated and looks like the video game itself.

Sonic X is cool but I was hoping that at the end of a series, Shadow would kill Chris! :)
But, they killed off Shadow. ;_;
Yeah, Chris is a bit of an attention hog. But, I suppose they have to have at least one character the kiddies can relate to... (Grumble)

I agree with Markio about the cgi thing but what would happen in the tv sereies would it be based on a game? e.g Super Mario RPG
-
What do you mean?
"NEW MARIO" series or
Anime Super Mario Brothers: Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1380
-
Thats an old movie shown in theaters back in the '80's. He wants a new series.
I'd be very skeptical over a new mario show. I'd always live in fear of some human or toad kid stealing the spotlight and the Mario Bros. only showing up at the end to save the day as with Sonic and Kirby.
-
Yeah, that always is a very troubling thought. Honestly, I'd be afraid that they might try and pull some cheesy stunt like Mario being able to go Super Saiyajin, or having Mario and Luigi fuse together to make Bros Man or something. But yeah, Charles Martinet all the way.

Obviously you guys only watch crap on Fox Kids and have never seen the old Sonic anime, which totally owns or have never bothered to watch the RockMan.EXE anime, which totally owns as well (although you'd have to watch the original Japanese version to truly appreciate it)
But yes, Sonic X sucks because of that annoying kid.
-
I wasn't talking about Sonic X at all....
I was talking about the old Sonic CARTOON from DiC...But, I don't think it was Anime....
-
Ummm...we're discussing the fact that the second poster said "The japanese are the only ones who could do it right" and then we pointed out how Sonic, Kirby, and F-Zero all have kids stealing the spotlight from the real heroes. We know about the old cartoons.
The old cartoons also have thier faults too you know. The coloring and animation couldn't stay consistent and while they stayed somewhat true to the games, they almost never followed the games storyline. The Super Mario cartoons took place in the Mushroom Kingdom, but did they ever actually defeat bowser and rescue the Princess? No. And don't get me started on the Sonic cartoons.
-
Personally, I love Sonic X and I'm glad that Chris is in it. Without it we would just watch cool characters without a purpose in life just walk around or play and then wait until Eggman shows up and releases a robot to do anything. The characters don't seem to have any dreams or goals in life like other characters in anime (except the hopelessly annoying but loveable Amy), so Chris was okay for me (and I hear that he is a big help in season 3). And man was the ending sad! Holy cow. But yeah, sometimes Chris gets a little too much time, and I don't like how Sonic inconsistently needs rings for power (and how no one calls Amy by her last name, Rose).
Kirby:RBAY is, IMOO, pretty predictable most of the time but for some reason I always like it that way, and look forward to seeing what our little pink friend will transform into at the end. And listening to DDD and Escargoon talk like clueless angry morons is always funny (and so are their accents, although most everyone probably hates them). But I saw one certain episode that had a certain monster that looked and acted too much like a... er, something I don't want to say here, that I haven't looked at it the same way since.
F-Zero:GP Legend, oh man! How could they? This could have been a sweet show but watered it down by taking the refuel pads and spinning attacks out of the races so we're left with nothing but boosts! Urgh! At least the stuff that happens off the track is pretty interesting.
Okay, enough with my opinions that few agree with. If I were to make a Mario anime, I would try to keep it lighthearted and not too serious since Mario is such a funny guy. And he would be the main character and everything would stay true to the games. Same characters, same enemies, same items, same attacks, some of the same music, and all the same great fun. Except I would probably throw in some crazy random stuff like in the other cartoons (but much cooler)and the characters would have to use teamwork and power-ups to defeat the enemies. And to keep it new, they might combine their powers as well (like Koopa, er... Bowser in "Super Koopa"). But let's be glad that I won't be making that, unless you're really desperate.
EDIT: I wonder if Viewtiful Joe will be cool?
EDIT II: Just got an interesting idea for a plot in a Mario anime! Maybe one day Kamek would transform all of the items in the blocks into "poison items" and Mario and Luigi would get sick and not know how. Then Toad and some other characters would have to go to Bowser's castel and face Kamek so they could steal his wand and change them back!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. But I think we can all agree that Mario rules and that's a fact!

Super Mario's Popularity seems to be affecting people throughout the town and all sorts of amazing ways. For groups of children for playing games of "Dash Running and Jumping" For adults of grown-ups they just like to wear a same different colors like their hero of plumbers. Super Mario's fact seems to be reaching astonishing proportions.

Shawne20: Say what?
Yoshi Rex: I think a better idea is to make a Mario show (doesn't matter if its Anime or Toon) based on the Mario RPGs since they have more story than other Mario Games and use existing characters over new ones to share the spotlight with.
Actually, as long as i get animated Bobbery, Vivian and Fawful I don't care.
-
Well if they do make a new Mario TV series,
then the animators could get help from
Camelot. The ones who did the CG shorts for
Toadstool Tour and Power Tennis
-
YR: Amen to that whole post! It's kind of cool to have kids on the show, instead of just the same old half hour of the hero and the bad guy talking smack. It's pretty funny watching Tiff and Tuff yell at Dedede and Escargoon time after time.
I''ve said my piece, now I''m off to some hardcore SSBM action!
-
Mr. Wiggles: I have fury!!
Back on topic, I think they should make a combo of the games. For example, Mario and the gang are racing, until Bowser kidnaps Peach on the Rainbow Road, and takes over her castle. Now, Mario has to save her. (SM64)
It''''s funny until someone gets hurt. Then it gets hilarious!
-
After much research and discussing I have come to the conclusion that kids should only be allowed on the show if they're going to be the stars. Ex: Beetleborgs, Arthur, Ed, Edd n' Eddy.
If kids co-star in a show, they most likely hog the spotlight and are generally hated by the fans. Ex: Power Ranger's Justin, Sonic X's Chris, Kirby's Tiff and Tuff.

Sonic toons:
1. Sonic under ground (I think thats what it's called) I onny got to whach this when I was 6 I can't remember anything
Sonic the heghog:

This one is self explanatory.
Sonic X:
As I said in the Sonic movie.
Some thinds: Shadow lived that expltion I read the comics I would know.
Mario toons:
Super Mario Super show: Not enough info.
The other one: Not enough info.
The movie: I was one of the only people on the planet who liked this movie.
Kirby back at ya!: I would LOVE to see this show but I live in AUS and I don't have cable.
LUIGI POWNS YOU!!!!!!!
