It was funny during the first one, but if you're planning on making this for all 493 pokemon, I would suggest adding a lot more variety to each episode.
If you are just making this out of boredom or for shits and giggles, by all means continue, but don't expect people to stay interested past the 3rd one.

lol. Seems like a few people are jumping on the whole Mario/DBZ bandwagon since I started working on SMBZ.
What with Nintegaball GT, Chaosball Z, Chaos Emerald Z and now Mario Ball Z being made alongside my series, it's gonna be hard for fans of this concept to watch them all. ^^;
As for the animation itself, it was actually pretty good. Much better animated than my first episode of SMBZ. I've noticed the story fits closer to DBZ than mine which is prominently a Mario parody.
I liked the addition of humour to the episode as well. (Lol, mario struggling with the 10x gravity. XD).
The action sequences were well animated as well. I'm gonna have to work hard to keep one step ahead. XD
Anyway, well done with this episode. Glad to see I've inspired sprite lovers across NG.
Keep up the good work.

I remember this used to be called Super Mario bros Z ep 7.
I appreciate you renaming it. I found this loop quite funny. XD

Glad to see there are more people besides me and Proxicide doing justice to sprite movies. Awesome work with the action and great use of the surroundings in the battle. 5'd. =D
btw. I noticed in an earlier review that you plan on making a Venom vs Spidey flash, which is a pity because I was planning on making one after I finished SMBZ ep 6. I even ripped the spidey sprites I was gonna use myself. (You can see the sheet on Spriters Resource).
I'm not sure if I should bother with it now if you're gonna make one. Either that we can try to collaborate on it?
It's your choice though.
Great work with the animation either way and keep it up. =D

Creator of Super Mario Bros. Z!
O_O' OMG OMG OMG! *Calm's Down*
Hi there... yes actually I am gonna make a Spidey vs Venom Flash, but I didnt know that you were thinking of creating one too...
O boy... um, well a collaboration...
Dont get me wrong I don't mind collaborating with you!
However I was thinking of getting started on this movie very soon, and... well... you just finished making SMBZ ep 6! WHICH WAS AWESOMEEE!!
9000 lol!
However... I think that you might wanna take a little break before
re-starting a new flash project...
I dont mind collaborating at all... but are you sure that you want to get started on another Sprite Movie so Quickly... and I mean that!
Thnk about it creating SMBZ ep. 1 - 6! THAT must have taking everything you had and more....
dude, you need a break!!
Thanks for the Review!! ^_^
PS: Ive 5'd all your work on SMBZ!
Except for part 1, that started off slow and it took some getting used to... so I gave that 4! Sorry! =/

Quite a good soundboard actually, maybe I can link people to this so they stop bothering me about where I got my DBZ sounds from. XD
Although, I must admit the section with blasts and sounds is kinda lacking. Maybe I can hook you up to the huge library i've got?
Drop me a line and i'll try and share it with ya sometime.
Author's Response:
I am honored Alvin, Thank you!
I actually have more sounds, but I just didn't want to fit it all in now. Maybe I'll make a special edition in the future, but I am thankful for your approval.

Amazing work as always Proxicide. You're one of the few people that inspired me to take up sprite animating.
This episode definately improves on the originals, but I must confess, im disappointed that the Street fighter characters always seem to win in the end. I'd love an option to pick the winner if you ever make a 4th one.
Also, the plots tend to be a bit lame, but these animations are always about the action which you manage to pull off flawlessly.
It's obvious I have a lot more to learn in order to reach your level of skill, but i'm sure i'll get there eventually, with practice. =D
As always, Keep up the awesome work and I eagerly anticipate a sequel if you decide to make another.

I've been waiting to see this second episode after your previous ones for quite a while. But it was worth the wait. Here's my review:
Graphics: I like the custom sprites, even if they aren't exactly perfect. But I know they took a while to make though. The movement was pretty well animated, But I really think you should try using the Vcam in future, since it really helps with panning and zooming. Trust me on this one.
Style: Although I do like the style. It does remind me a lot of SQFP, But you have added a bit of your own style to it, so it hasn't affected your score that much.
Sound: The sounds and music were very clear. But some of the music loops need a little work.
Violence: Not quite as much violence. But I can't exactly complain. The fight between Mario/Luigi/ Yoshi vs Bowser/Shadow/Mecha Shadow was awesome.
Interactivity: Buttons for the start and scene select. As well as space bar functionality for the dialogue. Gets a 5 because their isn't much interactivity in movies anyway.
Humour: Some funny bits thrown in for good measure. I liked the part when Mario dragged Luigi along with him. Very similar to parts in my SMBZ series. XD
Overall: A great use of sprites, original storyline and plenty of action. I just hope the next part is even better.

Great work with the sprite fight. I know i've still got much to learn when it comes to intense one on one fighting. XD
Although i've never watched Naruto in my life, and I don't know who the characters are or what they're capable of. It was still a pretty enjoyable flash.
Keep them rollin' in. =D

Another great movie, Daniel. Believe it or not it was your first 2 episodes (amongst a few others) that inspired me to make Super Mario bros Z. (not ball Z).
I read the commentary too. Glad I motivated you to finish this. Although the stab at my humour wasn't necessary? =\ (ah well. Shit happens. XD).
I am still learning about what makes a good sprite fight so I study your animations every time for inspiration. Along with Sonics quest for power and Dragonball POTU.
But enough about my stuff. Onto yours. I really enjoy the 3D elements. I'm still trying to learn that stuff. But you definately pulled it off. And I do enjoy the kung fu moments plus the battle above the lava. Good stuff.
Now i'm motivated myself to get ep 6 of my series done. Hopefully I can make something half as good as this.
Keep up the good work.
Author's Response:
:P hey! i didnt no you were insprited from my moves XD. Must say after I saw MBZ ep 4 I think, I was modivated even though it was DBZ inspired. Not a fan of dbz personally. Your animation is great man, but I actuly have a hate for the humor, sorry ta say :S.
I cant really give you my advise casue its bias. Id say make it less DBZish but it is caled mario ball "Z" after all. So i guess.... make it MORE DBZish XD
I must say I respect you as a person. I was reading few your reviews. Some guy gave ya some shit. you were like "Everyone has their own opinions"
pff, i would flamed the cunt XD. probebly not, just put him in his place politly.
