Crazy? Super Caterina? ...possible. By the way, I noticed you did that in Italian (obviously.). Where did you learn English? Because that comic was pretty good. And, have you considered being an artist for Nintendo of Europe?

Wow really is good English the trnslation of mine? O.O
Thankyou very much!^_^
(I have studied English at school, then i have been 4 weeks and  ahalf in Australia 3 years ago: maybe also this have helped me with English)

Mmmmh...yes, I would like to be a NoE artist very much!^_^
I've heard that in Germany they take artists for Nintendo Europe: I could see some original drawings only for NoE and they look exactly like official art! I remeber that there were Mario and Luigi reading a book or prepearinga  cake (with a style like that of Mario Bros 3). I could never find these drawings in Internet, but they were really cool!
So I think about it and see what I can do! XD

Whelp.... now you know why I'm afraid of you. Though I still find your insanity a tad appealing in some way...

I have always thougt that every person has a  personal view for "age".
Untill the death I think quasi everyone is like a child, because we always discover new things!^_^
When are we really child or mature? =D I think we'll never know.This is a question like the one "Why do we live?"! XD

The only problem is if you can only understand half of what's spoken, how are you to know it's a parody?

Did you mean that tvprogram? I can understand everything they say, because that is the English we learnt at primary school (and then they talk slow)! =D
The English I will never understand is your one, the American English...You talk veryveryvery fast! XD

By the way, back into topic! XD
Is there anyone who believed Mario and Co. really existed?
I have heard also those time that there were other children that believed in the existence of Mushroom kingdom, so I wasn't teh only one! =)
So I know that someone here believe really in the existence of Mario like I used to do!
I won't do a joke of you, because I have thought this, too....And I think it's sad I don't think anymore like this! =(

Hey, wait!  At the end a dream of mine come really true: when I was little I always dreamed to do a kartrace against Mario and Co. in the Mushroom Kingdom, for example, and now I can see this dream becoming true with my own eyes by playing with my Mii in Mario Kart Wii! XD So I can see me against the Mario & Co.! =)

...Well... are you sure you're not crazy? It seems that way.... although I do kind of like you. :S

Eheh, yes I am crazy! @.@ Everyone ask me if I'm crazy when saw my comic (not only for this, by the way. It's also in general! XD But this is another story...=D)...effectively it will be  a big work, knowing that I have other things to do in my life! ^_^'
But that is the way I am! XD

Thankyou very much to all!^_^

...hey! It's a long time I don't update my topic and this is because I had a bigger idea in my mind (one of the many XD)... And it is born beacuse of...MARIO GALAXY!
Oh mamma, I love so much that game that I had to do something "galactic" as "ode to it"!
At first I thougt of a big drawing (which I have started, but never finished ^_^'), then of a galactic comic! I remember that when I was little I used to create Mario comics with very long plots, but then there has been a time that I made only "funny-strips" and I finished working on such big ideas.
Now it's time to do it again, because taht game is so awesome that needs also a comic, not only fanart!

I have posted my Super Mario comic only in Italian for now, but there will be the English version soon (I hope). By the way, if you are curious to see my comic and understand what our heroes are saying, you can read the translation under every page-deviation (even if that translation won't be the definitive one)! ;)

This is what we can call "the opening": GalactictaleI:http://supercaterina.deviantart.com/art/GalacticTale-I-88372904
The Galactictale will be at the ebginning of every chapter in the comic and it won't influence the main comic in itself. With this minicomic you'll see the Mario Galaxy adventure with the point of view of the.... enemies! =D

As always the real adventure starts with Princess Peach letter:

Pag3: http://supercaterina.deviantart.com/art/Page3-88374825
Pag4: http://supercaterina.deviantart.com/art/Page4-88375377

You can view the Gallery dedicated only to the comic here. I will update it when I want, so that I'll do the best for my comic (there will be also 2 different galleries for the English and Italian version, so that there won't be mess in the future).
http://supercaterina.deviantart.com/gallery/#Galactic-project

I have also thougt to draw every characters that will be present in my comic, from the minor- to the most important ones (no ecceptions so). There will be also those from the Galactictale.
here you just can see some of them!


Here there are the links where you can find also a description of the characters and their role in the story!^_^

Have you ever seen the video series they used in Catarina's school to teach English? Hilarious (something like Candid Camera), but its effectiveness is debatable.

Ahaha! You have understood wrong! XD
We don't watch such videos at school to teach English (but the boringest in the world, yes...). That is a hilaryous tv program that makes a joke of real english lessons programmes! ;P

Zounds.  The Chef thinks he's Spaceman Spiff. 

Super Caterina!, that post also made me relive the days when my friend and I would play Super Mario World with his older sister as Peach, and we would argue who was Mario and who was Luigi (neither one of us wanted to be a villain), and who got to rescue Peach.  Even when I was Mario, somehow, my friend always ended up rescuing Peach...

Ahaha! Me and my sisters,too!
We all believed Mushroom kingdom existed, but also we acted like Super Mario characters!
My sister Giulia was always Mario, my sis Michela was Yoshi and I was Luigi! XD
I loved Luigi when I was young: he was my hero much more then Mario!=3 now I love Bowser jr, but this is another story...
By the way we didn't act like them, but we also created the "rules" to use always the characters, which represented us, in every Mario game!
Always them! XD
But we changed opinion after the arrival of Super Smash Bros Melee!
By the way, we still use "our" characters to play in Mario Party serie. ;)

Congratulations Super Caterina. You have somehow managed to fit 19 smileys into one entire post.

I guess I don't have anything else to say about the rest of the post...

I think there aren't enough smiles...XD
By the way, yes, you has something to say about my post, but you don't want to! XD

Don't be scared! ;p

There was  agreat singer sometime ago in my town, but then she is disappeared..that's a shame.
Normally there aren't poors in my town, luckily. In the town of my university there is woman who always put her hands on your face to have money and I can't stand her. The strangest thing then is that I have heard this woman have very reach brother, but he doesn't want to help her...

This may seem like a childish question, but after studying the Multiverse Theory, my 7-year old fantasies are returning to me. If you haven't heard of it, the Multiverse Theory states that thier are Quadrillions of universes. These alternate universes are created when a random event happens. Ex: You flip a coin. The Universe splits. In one universe, the coin lands on heads. In another, the coin lands on tails. This theory can lead to extreme ideas, such as the Earth never being created, or even, different species on Earth. With so many universes, I find it near-certain that somewhere, thier is a reality similar to Mario's...perhaps even exactly like it. So...What's your opinion?

You're my king, pal! =D
When I was a child I thougt that the Mushroom Kingdom really exists, REALLY!
Once I escaped from home to look for a warp pipe around my town. I went everywhere, EVERYWHERE, in every secret, hide place, to look for it (remember that my town is very ancient ;) )! After that adventure I know every hideplace of my town and around my town!
Then I remember I wrote a ltter to my mama to tell here that I would have be back for the day after and I took with me only a carrot, because I couldn't do myself sandwiches... But i wasn't afraid to have hungry during the travel because I thougt Princess Peach gave me a cake once I would have reached the mushroom Kingdom! XD
I have been away for half a day, without find no warp pipe and I was so tired...EVEN HUNGRY! XD I thougt that my parents would be ungry for me, but they greeted me with a lot of love and offered me a lot of buiscuits and vanilla tea (I loved it so much those times! =3)! =)
Well at the end part of my dream came true...I ate what I most loved after my adventure! XD
Oh..then I tried to look for a warp pipe again, but my parents stopped me before I escaped (my sis was the spy!! DX) again! (..also because I wanted to escape during teh night...ahahah! XD)

By the way, Mario, Luigi and their friends have been my first and only imaginary friends (with my angel XD)! Only them! ;p

Then I remember that my parents never told me that mario and Co. didn't exist, I discovered it only by myself when I was 11 years old...after have read a Shigeru Miyamoto (at the beginning I thougt he was a girl! XD) and I was very ungry and sad at the same time because I have always thougt that Mario wasn't only a "fairy tail videogame"...=(

Some interesting fact, things my parents used to do and say when I believed Mario and his friends existed were like...
1)My father bought a paper cap with wings, that looked a lot like that of Mario (but it wasn't) and acting like Mario flying and saying "Whoooohooo, wahhaaaaa! It's meeee! Yahhaaaa! It's me maaario!!!" and so on....! XD
2)My mama conviced me more times to do my school homework telling me "Mario told that you'd better do them if you wanna go to visit him, his bro and Peach" (yes, my parents told me to that they were friends of Mario nd Luigi! XD)
3)Once I were playing in Bowser's castle for Mario 64 (in the N64, of course), I saw that Bowser castle was sorrounded by a lot of lava and I wondered "Why Bowser lives in a lava lake? Does ezist a lava lake?" (something like this). And my mama answered me telling "Maybe he lives near a volcano"...And me immediately "Is there a volcano here around???"
"Lots very old and like mountains...But there are actually some active and dangerous volcanos in the South of Italy" and me "Oh really?O.O"
I thougt that visiting a  volcano was a great idea to reach the Koopa Kingdom and so then directly going to the Mushroom Kingdom (that was the why I asked my mama if there was a volcano near to our town...XD): i was ready to risk in order to meet my great freinds! *_*

Now I don't believe in teh Mushroom kingdom, but this makes me sad, if I can say...Sometimes I have a kind of nostalgia (it all teh Shigeru fault! I would have never read his interviews! DX)

Oh well..I have written so much...
Better finish.

Yes, I was mad, I am still mad and I think I will remain mad...Or I won't be Caterina! =D


By the way I think that other dimensions exist and, for example, my theory is that those who are called "ghosts" come from these dimensions...

Mario Chat / Re: Square Enix bringing back Super Mario RPG?

« on: June 06, 2008, 01:28:25 PM »

I wouldn't say "enough," because there has only been 3 Paper Marios and 2 Mario and Luigis.

And soooo....3 Paper Marios+2 Mario & Luigis = also 2 Super Mario RPG!!

Then there isn't 2 without 3! So There will be another Mario & Luigi + other 2 Super Mario RPGs!! X3

I'm sure they will do a sequel of Super Mario RPG, because it is one of the greatest games of Mario of ever! This is sure!
..But I don't know when, how, who, which one...what?@_@

Nintendo also takes cares of Mario RPG characters, especially for Geno! Who can forget the Geno cameo in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga?
Finally I think they are thinking of making somehing with a new Mario Rpg...maybe...

Now God knows, not the fans! XD

Yeah, Chocobo was always on the winning team in that. I recall when I was about to hit him with the red shell and he suddenly used the Mega Mushroom and flattened me! :D

Normally something like this happens during a battle! XD

I remembere that a day I was fighting in the battle mode, and I stopped in front of an another player (unknown for me): we've staied stopped looking each each other for a long time. Then I immediately used my megamushroom and he used...the power star!!!! XD DARUNIA!!! DX
(A scene like that reminds me of the classical cowboy's fight, where the coolest and strongest is the one who kills suddently the rival!! XD)
