YES

What the guy below me said. This was off da hook!

FloppDiddly responds:

sovatsuG is cool

A great way to get back up.

I'm glad this came around. I think I'm ready to get back into the Flash scene in time for Summer. And would also be glad to join future 5 hour collabs. It was a total adrenaline rush!

But to review our collab. I have to say that the parts were very well done considering the time period they were made in. Drawings were good, sounds were spot on, and most impressive, humor was present. My personal favorite skit is still the one with the planets hanging out with each other, but I also loved the Intro and menu music provided by our leader. As well as Ambitron's part, and AGUproductions' part. Overall, it's enjoyable and worth watching.

I approve of this

I concur. That was a very ugly Pokemon. The voice acting could have used some work though. It only shined in the word "Pokemon".

KittyKrew responds:

Sam is best

That was TEH SHEETZ

How is this not on the front page? This flash demonstrates the true spirit of Newgrounds and Pico Day! Sure there were moments of incoherent randomness, but that's only healthy for a Pico Day submission. How are people not loving this?

"Holy shit, Nene! Your eyes are caving in!"

Horsenwelles responds:

thank you gustav

it was fun to make (with the exception of a lack of voice actors)

Woo!

That was very nice! I love stories where the characters are true to their personalities. Although the presence of blood was a little off, there wasn't that much of it. Watching Kung Fu Kirby and Ninja Kirby turned out to be an entertaining fight. And the movie is still open for a sequel. I highly reccomend you make that Part 2, now that you know the ins and outs of flash.

Some bad and some good

When a movie has "vs." in the title, you shouldn't expect any kind of story to come into play. But there were still some events I questioned. Why is Mario's sleep animation so wierd? Why is he sleeping in the middle of nowhere on the ground? Why the hell is Master Hand in this, and why is he taking Knuckle's side? Why is Luigi dressed the way that he is.

This movie sported some good, yet overly dramatic 3D sequences, and the Ice Knuckles thing was actually pretty original. But it only served to help me forget all the sounds and graphics in this fight, that would not have happened without major influence from Super Mario Bros. Z.

kirbyky100 responds:

Sonic sleeps where evr he wants, mayb mario was just super tired, nd its not master hand knuckles created like an ice hand, like he summoned it basicly

I can dig it.

Learn how to use a preloader, a Replay button, and how to stop sounds, and you've got an interesting short here.

...wow

I'm an asshole. You know why? Because I thought a good percentage of the animators hanging around the Collaboration Forums these days were incompetent douches with no imagination. All it took were a good five parts and my mind kept repeating "awesome sauce" over and over.

Let me start from the top. The preloader was just a taste of what was to come. I wrote it off unconsciously as uninteresting and hit the Play button once it appeared. I just thought it was going to be a wannabe scetchbook collab of drawings. No, these were animations of those drawings. Wordless animations that don't rely on narrative to move forward. Like pencil and paper drawings with not much meaning to people other than who drew it, that come to life doing their own thing. There didn't need to be any backstory or hidden jokes. It was all inspired work. Stuff the animators just did because they felt like it.

What really made this collab shine was the music. The music which seemed to "fit" with what was going on. Even though there would be no logical explanation for that. It's the kind of music I would put on while I'm working on Flash. Speaking of which, I better download that.

The ending was also brilliant. Sure, we could just say "the end" and "thanks for watching". But Mr...Swishcheese went ahead and turned it into something epic. Give that man a cigar for his work there. Everybody in this collab deserves an A for their effort.

Oh, and I heard about all the drama between this collab and the Game Trailer Collab. I enjoyed both of them greatly. But I'm much more glad this one exists, for it renewed my faith in today's animators, which was depleting greatly from a lot of what I was seeing.

Just one question. Will there be a Sketch Collab 2011? :)

Timsplosion responds:

This is likely my favourite, possibly the best, review I've ever had. I'm not entirely sure how to respond, other than this:
There will be a Sketch Collab 2011.

Brilliant!

I thoroughly enjoyed this collaboration. All of them were entertaining in their own way. I especially feel in love with Imagine Seal Clubbing. Never in my wildest dreams could I have seen that coming, nor laughed harder. The menu was interesting, the preloader explained the concept. There was a way to skip or go back a scene at all times. It was just very well done, this collab.

My only problem? Eight parts. Lame. And some parts didn't even say what game was being trailered.

Archawn responds:

A lot of people dropped out along the way. I wish we had more parts to offer, but at least the parts we do have are pretty hilarious for the most part.

ahh...lame.

This movie, with its idea and AWESOME music choice, had LOADS of potential. I mean Front Page potential. And although there were moments where I felt the need to cheer Mario on, there were multiple moments that left me feeling let down. Bosses going down with little effort. I'd say a good 70% of the bosses that appeared were ones we didn't see go down. 20% of the bosses went down like pussies with one hit or manuever by Mario, and the only two that fit in the category of a "battle" were Petey Piranha and Shadow Mario. None of that, however, comes close to the disappointment I felt in the final battle between Mario and Bowser. Come on, why would you do that?

Look, I get it, you spent three months on this, a lot of time and effort, but you could have done this better. Instead of plastering the movie with bosses you didn't plan out a fight for, just bring in the more powerful, more badass bosses whom Mario can really fight. On screen, I mean. You skipped way too much.

You've come a long way. Here, have a cookie...your inventory seems to be full. Come back when you can carry more items, I'll hold onto this for you. *Munch* *Crunch*
