Okay, this may come as a shock to a lot of people on these forums, but I really like
Mario games. I love Mario from his bright, red, iconic, monogrammed hat to his shiny, brown, snappy, turtle-stomping shoes. What I particularly like about the various
Mario games, I realize, is that with the countless videogames of many, MANY different gameplay styles,
A LOT has been put into the mythos and yet a lot of it is quite open to interpretation.
This fancomic is an alternate imagining of
Super Mario 64 with massive inspiration taken from the webseries
There Will Be Brawl. Basically, it's
Super Mario 64 but darker and edgier.
But it's not just that. It will also not just be
Super Mario 64, but also contain continuity references from a hell of a lot of the other games. It will contain elements, plot-point references, characters and/or cameo gags from
Sunshine,
Galaxy, the
Paper Mario RPG series, the
Mario & Luigi RPG series,
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars,
Luigi's Mansion,
Mario Bros.,
Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 and 3,
Super Mario World, The
Donkey Kong series, The
Wario Land series,
Dr. Mario, the
Mario Party series, the
Mario Kart series,
New Super Mario Bros./Wii,
Yoshi's Island, The
Super Smash Bros. series and even
Hotel Mario and
Mario Is Missing. Even the movie will be referenced. So basically this is a huge celebration of the Mario games, attempted to make sense and put it into some kind of mass continuity.
Mario will have to encounter many of his past, forgotten foes who have shown up to haunt him (sometimes quite literally), such as Wario, Donkey Kong, Wart, Kamek, Smithy, Fawful, King Boo, and a few others.
