I picked this up on a whim during Mario Day （Mar。 10th） and while the story itself is clearly aimed at kids， it’s hard not to read this book and smile。 The Mario Bros。 series is a great fit for a cartoony and colorful book like this， and it’s fun to see the bros in more expressive and dynamic poses。 Everyone gets some time to shine， but it’s Princess Peach that really stood out to me！ Nintendo has only recently started expanding on her as a character and using her in roles other than damsel in d I picked this up on a whim during Mario Day （Mar。 10th） and while the story itself is clearly aimed at kids， it’s hard not to read this book and smile。 The Mario Bros。 series is a great fit for a cartoony and colorful book like this， and it’s fun to see the bros in more expressive and dynamic poses。 Everyone gets some time to shine， but it’s Princess Peach that really stood out to me！ Nintendo has only recently started expanding on her as a character and using her in roles other than damsel in distress， so I was expecting an old comic like this to be a more traditional take on her character。 But lo and behold！ Peach is a charmingly ambitious and adventurous character who， instead of waiting around， decides to break out of Bowser’s Castle herself and from that moment onward COMPLETELY steals the show。 Give me more of this Peach Nintendo！ This collection is a wonderful romp from start to finish and a must own for Mario fans new and old。 。。。more

This serialized version of a TV show （or maybe a compilation of a weekly comic book insert） was silly and fun。 My 7yo loved it。 Me。。。not so much。

I thought that the story was pretty interesting but the art in the book was really good and portrayed the story really well。

Decidedly cute and highly nostalgic for early 90's kids， "Super Mario Adventures" was a serial published in Nintendo Power as a way of both promoting "Super Mario World" and crafting the lore of the Mushroom Kingdom during the decade where Mario's storyline was fleshed out properly。 This is purely silly， somewhere between American comic strips and Japanese gag manga， but for Nintendo fans it's a cute "remember when？" Decidedly cute and highly nostalgic for early 90's kids， "Super Mario Adventures" was a serial published in Nintendo Power as a way of both promoting "Super Mario World" and crafting the lore of the Mushroom Kingdom during the decade where Mario's storyline was fleshed out properly。 This is purely silly， somewhere between American comic strips and Japanese gag manga， but for Nintendo fans it's a cute "remember when？" 。。。more

I remember reading this comic back when I used to get Nintendo Power and to find that they republish all the whole collection that was in these issues in one paperback made me happy。 The humor still holds up and just re-reading the whole adventure was a bast。 It was also made me wish they made the Princess this awsome in the games。

My 1st grader and I loved reading this together！ Split into 13 chapters， with a bonus short story called， "Mario vs Wario" at the end was perfect for my Mario-obsessed son。 Each chapter leaves off on a cliff-hanger， which kept my 7 year old craving for bedtime as we would read one chapter each night。 I read most of it to him， he is a strong reader for his age though and he enjoyed reading a lot of it to me as well。 My 1st grader and I loved reading this together！ Split into 13 chapters， with a bonus short story called， "Mario vs Wario" at the end was perfect for my Mario-obsessed son。 Each chapter leaves off on a cliff-hanger， which kept my 7 year old craving for bedtime as we would read one chapter each night。 I read most of it to him， he is a strong reader for his age though and he enjoyed reading a lot of it to me as well。 。。。more

A faithful adaptation of the silly， lighthearted， fun spirit of the Super Mario video game series。The characters from the games are expanded upon， giving a bit more personality than we usually see in the games proper， but still feeling "in character" and true to their roots。This graphic novel is fun for all ages， and is a great gift for the Mario fan in your life！ A faithful adaptation of the silly， lighthearted， fun spirit of the Super Mario video game series。The characters from the games are expanded upon， giving a bit more personality than we usually see in the games proper， but still feeling "in character" and true to their roots。This graphic novel is fun for all ages， and is a great gift for the Mario fan in your life！ 。。。more

This was wonderful！ I am deeply impressed！This graphic novel in 12 installments offered a charming look at Mario， Luigi， and the Princess。 Yoshi， Toad， and Bowser all put in appearances as well。 In some respects， it has the feel of one of the video games， but at the same time， it has quite a different vibe。 There is quite a bit of humor， some zany action， and some good， old-fashioned fun。 I also like that Princess Toadstool is a woman of action here。 She makes decisions， she refuses to be pushed This was wonderful！ I am deeply impressed！This graphic novel in 12 installments offered a charming look at Mario， Luigi， and the Princess。 Yoshi， Toad， and Bowser all put in appearances as well。 In some respects， it has the feel of one of the video games， but at the same time， it has quite a different vibe。 There is quite a bit of humor， some zany action， and some good， old-fashioned fun。 I also like that Princess Toadstool is a woman of action here。 She makes decisions， she refuses to be pushed around， she leads troops against Bowser， and she is far more than just a person in need of rescuing。 She has a backbone in some of the video games， but not many， so this was wonderful to see。 There are plot twists along the way。 Luigi takes center stage at one point， and his character has a few surprises up his sleeve （so to speak）。 And of course， Mario has his moments to shine。 I also enjoyed the fast pace; a great deal of action was packed into just a few pages， and most installments ended on a cliffhanger。 Best of all， everything builds to a satisfying conclusion。 Bravo！ 。。。more

As a little sliver of Nintendo history， Super Mario Adventures is a charming and genuinely funny read。 In the early 1990s， Nintendo was synonymous with video games， and their mascot Mario was the face of a growing industry。 Since 1981， the Japanese-created Italian plumber had appeared in arcade coin-ops， best-selling home console titles， and all manner of sports games。 But he and his brother Luigi also landed a TV show and a （horrible） live-action movie， as well as print comic runs。 While the Ma As a little sliver of Nintendo history， Super Mario Adventures is a charming and genuinely funny read。 In the early 1990s， Nintendo was synonymous with video games， and their mascot Mario was the face of a growing industry。 Since 1981， the Japanese-created Italian plumber had appeared in arcade coin-ops， best-selling home console titles， and all manner of sports games。 But he and his brother Luigi also landed a TV show and a （horrible） live-action movie， as well as print comic runs。 While the Mario Bros。’s goofy antics in the Mushroom Kingdom didn’t always translate well to mediums outside of video games， the comics in Super Mario Adventures joyously call back to the character’s timeless inspirations， from Popeye cartoons to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland。The book is a compilation of comics published in the pages of Nintendo Power （the company’s monthly fan mag） in 1993， which together comprise a single narrative。 The plot is as simple as any involving Mario: the evil King Bowser has invaded the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom， and stolen away their intrepid Princess Toadstool。 With the help of friends near and far， Mario and Luigi set out to save her and defeat Bowser。But writer Kentaro Takekuma managed to take the games’ wafer-thin stories and weave something surprising out of it， drawing inspiration from several early Mario titles。 The typically dainty princess is a strong-headed and crafty leader， who is captured because she goes after Bowser alone in a rage。 Mario is a cheerful hero whose eagerness to help others gets him in trouble， while Luigi is a silly and easily scared impulse eater who， at one point， cross-dresses as the princess to fool Bowser。 And Bowser， obsessed with marrying his beloved princess， is a hothead whose thirst for conquest can’t match his desire to be adored by Toadstool。However， none of these characters would be as distinct or comedic without Charlie Nozawa’s expressive artwork。 The cast stretches and bounces across pages， launching into the air on Bullet Bills and slinking down hallways to escape ghostly Boos。 Every full-color page is designed to make the reader laugh， which is truly Mario’s strong suit。 He’s a funny-looking man， and the turtles and dinosaurs and talking mushrooms he spends his days with are funny-looking things。 Nozawa channels the animated roots of Mario’s design to make action with rhythm and style。There are a lot of cute scenes that can be appreciated by Mario nerds。 Mario and Luigi actually do some plumbing here; their friend Yoshi is turned into an egg by Bowser， which echoes his first appearance; and an extended sequence in a haunted house suddenly becomes a session with Dr。 Mario。 The book also includes a bonus comic called “Mario & Wario，” though this little story isn’t as inventive as the main adventure。I’m a Mario superfan， and I love finding lesser known pieces of the character’s history in arcades and bookstores。 While it may not be 4-star reading material， it earns the grade by being a remarkable vignette in Mario’s more than 30-year history。 。。。more

Very cute vintage comics and manga。 I love how fierce Princess Peach is here when compared to her earlier， more docile appearance。

Fun for those who like Mario。 I love the fact Peach gets a bigger role than she usually does。 I like the ending with Wario， but kind of want a comic book about him now。 There should be more comic books with Nintendo characters， Animal Crossing would be good one I always thought。 I kind of liked the art and the jokes were a little corny at times， but still a fun read。

I’ve always loved playing Super Mario video games！ I was so excited to find this graphic novel。 It tells stories in the Mario world。These stories were interesting because they tell some origin stories for the characters。 For example， Princess Peach was originally called Princess Toadstool because she was from the Mushroom kingdom。 The Toads lived in the castle with her。 I loved reading these stories and seeing where the characters come from。I would love to see more Super Mario graphic novels or I’ve always loved playing Super Mario video games！ I was so excited to find this graphic novel。 It tells stories in the Mario world。These stories were interesting because they tell some origin stories for the characters。 For example， Princess Peach was originally called Princess Toadstool because she was from the Mushroom kingdom。 The Toads lived in the castle with her。 I loved reading these stories and seeing where the characters come from。I would love to see more Super Mario graphic novels or books。 I would definitely read them， and the games are still so popular with kids today。 For now， this is a great story！ 。。。more

Is it possible to give an honest， detailed review of this？ No。Do I love it with my whole heart？Yes。 Peach in Luigi's overalls。Luigi in Peach's dress。Bowser， lookin' like a muffin as always。 It's just the best thing ever。 No one is ever on model， and that's most of the fun。 Mario and Luigi talk， and it's not hokey but adorable。 The side characters are a joy， the Koopa Kids are fun， they get scammed out of their money by the creepiest looking humanoid thing ever， there's a cute chapter with Wario Is it possible to give an honest， detailed review of this？ No。Do I love it with my whole heart？Yes。 Peach in Luigi's overalls。Luigi in Peach's dress。Bowser， lookin' like a muffin as always。 It's just the best thing ever。 No one is ever on model， and that's most of the fun。 Mario and Luigi talk， and it's not hokey but adorable。 The side characters are a joy， the Koopa Kids are fun， they get scammed out of their money by the creepiest looking humanoid thing ever， there's a cute chapter with Wario at the end that shows how much of a jerk Mario can be （and might have been Wario's introduction to the universe if I read the back of the book right？）， and it's just So Much Fun。Also， Peach runs around doing AMAZING things and it's Mario who gets captured a LOT so I guess your plumber is in another castle。 。。。more

Now you are playing with Power！Originally running in Nintendo Power Magazine as a monthly comic I was happy to see it reprinted by Viz Media。 In this collected edition we don't have to worry about finding the comic in each classic magazine （which also had the legend of Zelda comics） and reading them in order thanks to this all in one collection。 ;）One thing I liked about this story is Princess Toadstool which was originally the princess of the games before she was turned to Peach later on。 Princ Now you are playing with Power！Originally running in Nintendo Power Magazine as a monthly comic I was happy to see it reprinted by Viz Media。 In this collected edition we don't have to worry about finding the comic in each classic magazine （which also had the legend of Zelda comics） and reading them in order thanks to this all in one collection。 ;）One thing I liked about this story is Princess Toadstool which was originally the princess of the games before she was turned to Peach later on。 Princess Toadstool is having a party and asked the marvelous plumbing duo of Mario and Luigi to fix the pipes before the big event。 Little does anyone know that new mysterious pipes pop out of the ground bringing a mischievous King Koopa and his forces to crash the party wit ha proposition for Princess Toadstool to marry him or she will be welcomed to rule a kingdom of statues。 Her response was fantastic。 ;）With new and old characters we get some laughs and action as Koopa does whatever he can to get what he wants and out heroes are just as eager to stop his dastardly womanizing plans。 We also get an extra comic showing how Wario had to deal with Mario when he was younger making him the villain he is today。 My personally fave part of the book would have to be seeing the Koopa Kids playing a Super Mario type game with a Koopa stomping on Marios instead of the original Super Mario Bros game which Princess Toadstool was playing earlier。 ;） 。。。more
