Hey. I've been wanting to continue this series, but it's gotten pretty bad. Plots are more boring, logic is getting out of hand, we're seeing the same 2 or 3 Koopalings over and over, and I recently learned that Tabitha St. Germain plays you-know-who. Not to mention my bajillion other projects I'm working on. I'm kinda sad to stop with this, but I'm also glad. And who knows? A while from now, I might do SMW.

It's time for episode 8: Toddler Terrors of Time Travel.
•
The show was doing so good, and then this episode came. It's literally just Bowser and Kooky sending Mario and Luigi back in time so they never visit the Mushroom Kingdom. Everyone turns into babies, Toad brings everything back to normal, end of story. Even less happens than MYMMM. Because of that, I'm gonna go over another episode, "Dadzilla." Wait... what's that? Do I hear sirens? Oh God, please no...
*siren noises* KOOTIE-PIE ALERT! *siren noises*
Uhm, I'm gonna skip that for... Tag Team Trouble? You mean the one with an easily-avoidable plot? The one with the wrestling match? THE ONE THAT STARS TOAD? We've officially entered a dark period.
I'll go over Dadzilla later to make up for a lack of comments on TToTT.

*some number of minutes later*

It's time for episode 9: Dadzilla, and thankfully, Kootie-Pie isn't the only star. The bad news? The other one is Big-Mouth. He is kind of entertaining, but can still be very childish like the girl who should be burning in hell right now.
The story begins with Kootie-Pie admiring her beauty, if you would even call it that, when Bowser tells her that if she doesn't clean her room, she'll be grounded for a month. She shoves everything into her closet, (we've all been there,) and it explodes when Bowser walks in. Kootie-Pie and Big-Mouth then discover the thing Shigeru Miyamoto wouldn't tell us until 20+ years later: They are not Bowser's children. They think that their real dad is a movie star, so they go to Holly- Wait one second. Wasn't Kootie-Pie grounded? You would think that someone like the Koopas would have top-level security so that nobody could get in or out of the castle/doom ship. Horrible guards aside, the two arrive and find themselves in the middle of a movie scene starring this robot called Madzilla. (You can probably guess where the episode's title came from now.) They turn him into a real monster, and assume that the hideous thing really is their dad. (Listen, I know Bowser has a weird voice and looks kinda like King K. Rool, but you really think Madzilla is handsome?) They demand that he make the two movie stars, and they end up trashing Hollywood. (We also learn that they can't sing. ) The Mario Bros- oh yeah, they exist. I haven't brought the Mario Bros until now, the very end of the episode, since before that, they did nothing to the story. All they do is disguise themselves at Madzilla's mom, and if she was real, this could've been an entire episode revolving around the Koopalings. (Not saying it's a good thing.) Madzilla falls for it, Mr and Mrs Annoying-As-Heck return to Kastle Koopa, Mario and Co. tell Madzilla about the plan, and they offer him a home in the Mushroom Kingdom.
•
What do I have to say about it? *thinks for hours on something to comment about* It aired... that's all I can say.

I was gonna do a Cinema-Sins-style video for the rest of the episodes, but I didn't wanna put in all the effort, so here's just a normal post.
•
Peach is going on a vacation to Hawaii and- wait, Hawaii? I thought RitRG was the only Real World episode. For those of you who don't know, there are 9 episodes that involve the Real World, but since I was gonna give a big speech on why Kooky is my favorite Koopalings, I'm gonna save the Real World rant for *looks for which RW episode is next* I guess Toddler Terrors of Time Travel.
Anyway, Bowser and Kooky are seen eavesdropping on her. Oh, hey! Here's that speech I was talking about!
•
Kooky is what Hop should've been. He's a crazed inventor who's often misunderstood. He's also adorable, and has a laugh that can cure depression.... I'm pretty sure I had more to say, but I hope that's good enough.
•
Kooky has the idea of making a robot princess to fool the Mario Bros while the real princess is away. As you can imagine, chaos happens when the robot princess comes, and Mario decides to have, "An old-fashioned plumber-to-princess talk."
Meanwhile in Hawaii, Toad finds out that Kooky is here (for a reason I'll bring up later) and that the rest of the Koopas are up to no good. The robot princess hands the kingdom over to Bowser, but Peach surfs into the castle and takes the crown back.
•
That was a lot to keep up with, and I didn't even come close to going over everything, so I'd suggest you watch it yourself. We're going through a streak of really good episodes, and this is one of the highlights. There's a lot going on, but it's not utterly confusing, kinda like RitRG.
•
"You have got to be kidding me" moments:
This is a new segment where I list every time a character does something stupid just so the plot can happen, and I can only think of two.
  • The Mario Bros falling for the robot princess.
  • Kooky's "Hawaii disguise." You won't believe me when I say this, but it's literally just a lei. A frickin' lei!
•

This is another new segment that's exactly what it says above, and for some reason, Reign Storm had a thing for messing around with everyone's feet.
  • When Bowser and Kooky are eavesdropping on Mario and Co, Mario's feet go missing.
  • Throughout the scenes involving Hawaii, Peach's shoes constantly disappear and reappear, which is
  • I don't know how, but Toad's shoes also go missing in one shot.
•
I hope you enjoyed this volume of my review series. In my general overview, while I didn't say it word-for-word, I basically said it was a trainwreck. If that's still true, then this show is the most entertaining trainwreck of all time. See you next time for Toddler Terrors of Time Travel

I rewatched this last week, and there's no way I'm watching this episode 3 times, so I'm just gonna go by my memory.
•
The episode starts at Toad's House while eveyone is having a spaghetti lunch, another reminder that Super Show exists. Bowser and a few of his Koopalings come carrying a white flag, which means they gave up trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdoom. He gives his castle to Peach, and she decides to turn it into a retirement home. When the gang go to clean it up, they realize it was a trap. Bowser locks them in the dungeon and gives Cheatsy a few cheating lessons, one of which being the double cross. Cheatsy is fascinated by that move so he does it on Bowser. He tells the prisoners that if they sign the kingdom to him, they will be let go. Cheatsy takes the throne, and of course Bowser is furious. He then shows Cheatsy that the signature was fake.
•
The Cheatsy episodes are the more interesting ones, especially with the double cross he pulled. It was another balanced episode like the last one, but it could've had a little more going on. Other than that, it's a pretty decent episode. Next time, I'll be going over Reign Storm, where you'll get to find out who my favorite Koopaling in the show is. (Unless you read my track comment from earlier...)

I watched episode 6 next week, and decided to stop the review series since I was getting bored with it. However, I found out that people really care about this show:
I found songs from clips of both cartoons.
Somebody who goes by Kootie-Pie Koopa holds world records in Mario Kart Arcade GP.
Someone has Big Mouth as his profile picture.
There are TAoSMB3 morphs on Roblox.
There's even a battle course based on a picture of Kooky... that last one's actually pretty cool, ngl.
But anyway, everyone's love for this show somehow motivated me to keep going. I'll be back later for Never Koop a Koopa.

A few minutes ago, I rewatched episode 5: Princess Toadstool for President, so here it is.
•
This time, the plot is very simple and easy to understand. Peach and Bowser agree to run against each other in an election for the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. Since Bowser knows he doesn't stand a chance, Cheatsy and Kooky make a nice guy potion for him. He gains popularity, but it starts to fade off. Therefore, the two go back to the castle to make some more of the potion. The Mario Bros stop them, exposes Bowser's cheating, and Peach wins by a vote of 6-billion-something to one. "Who would vote for Bowser?" you ask? He voted for himself. While asking how he could be the only one who voted for him, Cheatsy says one of my favorite quotes in the show:
"We just had to vote for her. She's so nice, and you're so, so..."
*Bowser growls*
"Exactly, Dad."
•
There wasn't too much happening, but it also wasn't boring as heck. It was a good balance between Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario and The Beauty of Kootie. It also didn't have too many mistakes, aside from Cheatsy's usual face glitches.
•
Next time, if there is a next time, I'll be going over Never Koop a Koopa, where we see Cheatsy once again betraying his father. See you then.

It's time for episode 4: The Beauty of Kootie
Stuff you should know before I begin
I watched the episode last week, hoping to write the review then. Since I forgot, I'll have to take what I can remember about it and review that today.
The story in 10 sentences or less
The king of Desert Land is taking a bath, when suddenly, the water gets polluted with oil. Like any sane person, he calls the Mario Bros to help him. We then cut to Koopa Castle, and learn some confusing stuff that I'll get to later. The Mario Bros come to the castle for some reason, so Cheatsy transforms Kootie-Pie into a human, probably as a distraction or to lure the Bros into their trap. She introduces herself with the definitely not suspicious name of Lady Fettuccini Alfredo. Mario falls in love with her, but Luigi notices that she still has her tail. Geez, I know tails aren't very common on humans, but you didn't notice that she still has the same bow, shoes, necklace, bracelets, everything? Anyways, the Mario Bros get locked in the dungeon, and after somehow finding a way out, Mario decides to get back at Kootie-Pie by turning Luigi into Casanova Koopa. Then- I'm done with this. It's confusing as heck. I'm reading the story on mariowiki.com as I'm writing this, and I still have no idea what's going on. It was hard doing episode three, but I'd rather review a forgettable episode than one I can't comprehend. In other words, you're better off just watching the episode for yourself.
Final thoughts
Maybe I just have a horrible memory, but I doubt it's that. This episode was probably the most confusing episode in the series. Another downfall is that it stars Kootie-Pie. (Read episode 2 if you wanna know why I despise her. Reason two is more of a joke than reason 1.) It also has 23 mistakes according to mariowiki.com. If somebody could explain all of the confuzzling stuff this episode, I would be very glad.
If there is a next time, I will be reviewing episode 5: Princess Toadstool for President. Hopefully it won't be as confusing... Wait... A presidential election in a kingdom?

It's time for episode 3: Mind Your Mummy, Mommy, Mario. (Say that three times fast.)
The episode starts with Hip and Hop finding the Lost Temple of Mushroomakhen, or however you spell it, and they are tied for my 2nd and 3rd least-favorite Koopalings. They have no personality, their names are bland, and they're your stereotypical twins who finish each other's sentences. And the only reason I can tell them apart is because Hop has glasses. These aren't huge issues, and I know it's a twin thing, but what's ironic is that in the games, these are my faves.
Anyway, they take the mummy case of King Mushroomak- Mushroomat- Mushroomkha- uhm, the late king, and escape the temple with it. His mother, who I'm not even gonna try to find the name of, gets angry, and ruins everything in Desert Land to find out who took her son. She then thinks Mario is her son, and takes him to the temple. After that, nothing really interesting happens. We see more of Hip and Hop running away with the mummy case, more confusion between Mario and the mummy queen, and some random guy giving Mario's friends a map to the temple. Actually, that last one's important, but we're six minutes in, and NOTHING'S HAPPENING. They go to the castle, try to escape Bowser, take the case from the twins, yada-yada-yada, and tell the mummy queen that there was a mistake. That's it. Everything in this episode is forgettable, from the characters, to the setting, to the plot itself. I would've made it more of a recap, but this had even less action than episode one, and I honestly wish I only had to do the more interesting ones.
But now that I have that out of the way, let's see what episode 4 is.
The Beauty of Kootie
Wait a sec... I don't like what I'm in for...
*insert siren noise* KOOTIE-PIE ALERT! *insert siren noise*
Anyway, I'll see you either tomorrow or next week.

You think SMB3 is heavy on the jokes? You haven't seen Super Show. And by the way, I'm doing the next episode soon.

I know mistakes are common in this show. It's just that you can't get past a single episode without seeing at least 5 or 6.
BTW, I'm not sure I'll be able to do every episode individually. Ill try my hardest, but don't be surprised if I stop in the middle of this series. Also, I'm planning on reviewing the SMW show after this.

I am really torn between this next episode. It's very irritating, but it's also one of the most entertaining episodes. Without further ado, here's Reptiles in the Rose Garden.
*
Today is Kootie-Pie's birthday, and we see her throwing stuff out the window, showing how extremely mature she is. She even yeets her freaking cake out the window. Since King Koopa is a doormat, and will do anything to keep her daughter from whining, he agrees to give her... America? This won't end well. And while we're at it...
Reason I don't like Kootie-Pie #1: Look at her. She's so stinkin' adorable. But do one thing to upset her, and she's all, "I HATE IT!" or, "I WANT IT!" The worst part is that she's acting like this at SIXTEEN.
Meanwhile at the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Co. are expressing how happy they are to not have to worry about the Koopas, but how do they know it's Kootie-Pie's birthday? Anyway, along comes the airship, complete with bullet bills. Luckily, they miss, but the four then get bitten by the tiniest chain chomps ever. They're taken to the dungeon, and the Koopas continue their journey to conquer America, which they make it look so easy. All they do is warp the White House into the ocean, and that's it. Kootie-Pie then sets some new laws and...
Reason I don't like Kootie-Pie #2: She doesn't know how to rule a country. She calls the new America meaner and crueler, but her laws are the dumbest ever:
1. "Every kid in America mush give me their toys."
2. "Any handsome boy who does not me for a date will be turned into a rock." (We then see a couple boys turned to stone, as well as a girl for some reason.)
3. "All the gold in Fort Knox will be melted down to make a lifetime supply of charm bracelets."
Stupid, right? Anyway, back to Mario and Co. They notice President H.W. Bush in the White House, and all he ever does is talk on the phone. Peach then distracts the Sledge, Boomerang, Fire, etc. Bros in order to escape the dungeon. Over at Kastle Koopa, King Koopa lets the others know that Kootie-Pie finally found a gift that makes her happy. What's Big-Mouth's response? "Give that bbbbrat a country and she finally stops nagging!" He wouldn't be so annoying if he didn't roll his B's all the time. Mario arrives at the White House to rescue the First Lady and the President- HOW IS HE STILL ON THE PHONE? He then turns the White House into FLUDD's Hover Nozzle. Don't believe me? Find out for yourself.
LOGIC ERROR ALERT! LOGIC ERROR ALERT! Luigi's worried because Kootie-Pie will also be taking over Paris, London, and Brooklyn. MUST I REMIND YOU WHERE BROOKLYN IS? She already has it. It's too late.
The Mario Bros then try to sneak past some Sledge Bros, so they where horrible disguises. In most cartoons, they get away with this kind of thing, but this time, it didn't work. Id feel guilty if I said that I'm glad it was realistic, so I guess I'm guilty. They manage to escape, and we cut to Kootie-Pie sitting back on a lawn chair getting her claws done, instead of, oh I don't know, making plans for her next conquerings? The White House then crushes her and the hammer bro.
If annimation mistakes could kill, then this scene would be the Hunger Games:
Kootie-Pie's sunglasses and magazine disappear.
Her shows reappear out of nowhere.
The blue starry part on the flag is just a white square.
SHE SURVIVED GETTING CRUSHED BY THE GOSH-DARN WHITE HOUSE!
Kootie-Pie is warped back home, and she blames it on Bowser for some reason. I don't really know why, but he finally gives Kootie-Pie "the present she deserves," and piles her with a bunch of chores.
*
Final thoughts? I don't know how it is that Kootie-Pie is my least favorite Koopaling in this show, and she gets away with starring in one of my favorite episodes. Sure, it could be better, but a lot more happens compared to the giant ninja one. This also aired twice in some countries. Next time, we'll get our first look at Hip and Hop, and Desert Land. Up next is Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario.

I rewatched episode one about three minutes ago, so I'm writing this review as I go.
*
We start off with chaos at Kastle Koopa, with Bully throwing stuff at Big-Mouth, Cheatsy and Kootie-Pie pulling Kooky's hair, and Hip and Hop jumping on a chair. If this stuff is normal, I'm glad I'm not a Koopa. Bowser then orders a family meeting, and shows off the next victim of their capturing, Prince Hugo the Huge, king of Giant Land. We then get the very first example of Big-Mouth earning his name: "That's Prince Hugo the Huge! The new ruler of Giant Land! They say, he's the biggest, toughest, bbbravest prince ever, even for a giant! He's a giant!" After that, we see a new side of Bully, the chicken. He suggests that Big-Mouth or even Kootie-Pie captures him. Dude, I don't think she was built for this kinda stuff, but I wouldn't mind Big-Mouth. You know what confuses me, though? He doesn't suggest Hop, the BOSS of Giant Land. Why not pick somebody who knows what he's doing? Koopa then orders Bully, Big-Mouth, Cheatsy, and Kooky to step forward, but the others step back instead. They are then turned- I'm kinda dragging this aren't I? This is supposed to be a review, not a recap, so I should probably stop making this seem like a recap.
Prince Hugo informs the Bros that he's about to get captured, the parrot shows doubt in the two, (I wouldn't trust two average plumbers either if I didn't know about power-ups,) and they try to prevent the capturing, while angering the sun in the process. They escape with a really bad disguise, 'cause cartoon enemies are stupid, and they arrive at Kastle Koopa. Luigi, Toad, and Peach get locked into the parrot's cage, and Prince Hugo turns into a poodle. Mario tries to ride the parrot in order to save his friends, but he just complains about how his entire life is that cage. Whatever your name is, you're not losing your house. It's just a- wait. Actually, his cage is his home, so I guess it is kinda like losing his house. Sorry, parrot. Moving on. Peach somehow tricks Bowser into- again with the recap, MysteryMan. Keep it short and simple.
Mario turns into a ninja, beats the Koopas, and rescues Prince Hugo. It ends with the parrot chasing Mario because his cage is ruined. Yeah, that's it. Nothing else. It's part funny, part annoying.
*
What are my final thoughts? I rewatched the next episode before this one, and that one was 100% more interesting. Here, there's not much going on. I mean, there is a lot going on, but nothing very memorable. The only part I would've remembered if I didn't rewatch episode 1 was the awful song and Red Luigi. In other words, this episode was just boring. Next time, I'll be going over Reptiles in the Rose Garden, where we find out that Kootie-Pie is a royal pain.
P.S. How did I go through that whole thing without mentioning TMNT even once?

You're welcome. I'm planning on writing the first episode tomorrow, but I might have to rewatch it because of my foggy memory. And by the way, can't wait for your next reviw.

True. I never thought of that, but you're right.

Hey, guys. I recently read a post by someone reviewing Mario Kart: Double Dash, and I wanted in on the fun. However, I didn't want to just pick the most popular topics, so I decided to go out there. Way out there. Each post on this topic will be my review on an episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3, but first, I'm going to review the series in general.
*
In 1988, we got Super Mario Bros 3, quite possibly one of the best 2D Mario titles ever made. Two years later, we got a cartoon spinoff, and it was, um, how do I put it? Awful. While Super Show had 50-something episodes, SMB3 only had 26. SMB3 also had fewer worlds, so every episode felt kind of the same.
Problem #1: The animation. The DiC shows, per usual, looked cruddy and rushed, and this was no exception. Not only did it look bad, but designs are inconsistent, and there are tons of mistakes, like this one:

How could you mess up that badly? Other examples include voice mix-ups, Larry's face glitching out a ton, and Wendy's shoes disappearing and reappearing randomly FOUR TIMES in one episode. And speaking of her and Larry...
Problem #2: The Koopalings. I just love these little cuties in the games, but in the show, it just feels like there's something wrong with them. First off, the names. In the games, they're named Lemmy, Larry, Wendy, Iggy, Ludwig, Roy, and Morton. In the show, (not in the same order,) we have... Bully? Kooky? Cheatsy? What kind of a name is Cheatsy? We also have Big-Mouth, Kootie-Pie, (not Cutie-Pie, Kootie Pie,) and Hip and Hop. They're personalities are also messed up. You know the fun wacko known as Iggy, who has a tendency to ride chain chomps and smack his butt at Mario? Say goodbye to him. This time, Iggy's just your average Koopa. Who's the insane one now? LUDWIG! Ludwig of all people! And the deisgns. This is Larry in the games:

Let's see what he looks like in the show:

That's... not what I had in mind. They also managed to make Wendy look better in the show than in the games, which I just find weird.
I had a third problem, but forgot what it was. Anyway, this general overview of the show should hopefully convince you not to watch it. If you do watch it, trust me. You'll regret it. See you soon for what's definitely not a rip-off of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

For now, I'm codenaming it Enemy's Revenge.

To celebrate Nintendo's E3 Direct being tomorrow, I'm going to reveal some of the games I'm working on. I won't show any game footage because all of them are extremely early in development.
1. New Mario Kart Complete 4
Yep. I'm making a fourth one. I don't know what its name is going to be, but it will be the most detailed multicup I've ever made. The tracks will also have textures, an MKC first. I will also be introducing warp pipes.
2. Super Roblox Grand Prix
I decided to try again at Mario Kart Roblox GP, but in a way that hopefully won't get me banned for copyright infringement. There will be 16 courses, with new ones being added every month or two. There will also be tons of items to use, all of which come from Mario Kart Arcade GP.
3. Koopaling game
Remember that topic I made about what I think a Koopaling game would look like? I decided to try it out on Roblox. I started about an hour or two ago, so it's the earliest in development. How early?
I have two characters.
None of them are animated.
One is missing his hair, while the other is missing her bow. Both of them are a result of not finding good enough models.
The stage is just terrain, with no stars or enemies.
Yeah. It's very early, and I might not finish, but if I do, I am gonna try to make it my best game ever.
Edit: I don't know what the name is going to be. Super Koopa sounds weird, Super Koopaling sounds even weirder, and Super Koopa Bros... you probably know why that wouldn't work.

New Mario Kart Complete: Super Dash is coming very, VERY soon.

Whether you've been waiting for it or not, New Mario Kart Complete: Super Dash is coming on Saturday. While I didn't implement the Mushroom Tile feature as much as I would've liked, I added a lot of decor that was desperately needed. Here are the tracks:
Mushroom Cup
Luigi Circuit
Dry Bone Desert
Crystal Snowland
Rocky Canyon
Flower Cup
Blooper Bay
Fire Mountain
Mario Circuit
Double Cherry Pass
Star Cup
Toad's Arcade
Phantom Palace
Shroomopolis
Iggy's Chain Chomp Stadium
Special Cup
Honeyhive Galaxy
Subcon Circuit
Bowser's Castle
Rainbow Road

I've been very focused on school lately, and haven't done much work on New Mario Kart Complete: Super Dash. I just wanna assure you that it will come out eventually.
Changes I already made:
Added fireballs to Iggy's Chain Chomp Stadium
Added crystals to the snow course
Changes I haven't made yet:
Add barrels and arcade machines to Toad's Arcade
Change Phantom Palace's music
Add vines and piranha plants to Rainbow Road.
Another thing that's been distracting me was a project I'm doing on Roblox. It's called Mario Kart Roblox GP. I'm trying to base it off the arcade games, as I feel they don't get enough love. It's still very early in development, with only two tracks being made, and barely any scripting. However, if you wanna donate so I can add custom music and items and stuff, the link is here. https://www.roblox.com/games/6728874137/Please-Donate-for-Mario-Kart-Roblox-GP
