Haha! Very cute!

I really liked this. It was very short, but it didn't really need to be longer. It might have been better, though, if you'd done three or for shorties in one cartoon. :)

The pace at which the characters moved was perfect, and the way you made the Ninja scream was just terrifically funny. Great job, man! I hope to see more of these!

Eh... Overdone to death.

Graphics:
First off, the technique with the sprites was really crappy, as you left the black background in there with it. Of course, I'm sure you meant to do that, since you were oh-so-subtly trying to make your point through bad graphics and crappy flash powers. But I digress. The backgrounds made me chuckle. You got the majority of your points there.

Style:
Overdone. Plain and simple. I've seen so many "omg, sprite flashes are unoriginal and they suck" movies that they've ceased to be good. You have to make it new and at least take a different slant if you want people to take it seriously.

Sound:
Awful. Well, I take that back. The part with the typing sounds and the windows noises made me laugh. :P Well-placed. But I will say that I greatly dislike it when flash artists intentionally change the volume at various parts of their flash, especially if it's as extreme as yours was. Ouch.

Violence:
Mario killed a goomba. A goomba killed Mario. No blood, no drama. I gave you pity points.

Interactivity:
Your preloader was funny, what with all the unfilled fields and whatnot. You would have gotten more, had your play button showed signs of being active when my mouse icon was over it. :p

Humor:
Not funny. At all. Like I said, it's been overdone. I'm not saying that anti-mario/anti-sprite flashes can't be funny. I'm just saying that if you want to make a good one, do something original with it. Crack on a specific aspect and expand on it or something. I dunno. All I know is that I'm seeing the same thing I've seen many times already. Recently.

Overall:
I was a bit generous with the review score, I think. I personally voted to blam, but you'll probably pass, since it has Mario in the title, lol. Ironic, isn't it?

ARE you kidding me Maron is really cool

Awesome flash all around. Kudos to you!

Although I thoroughly disagree with you as far as the "harmlessness" of weed is concerned, this was a damn good flash. Wonderful graphics, witty humor, and tons of good points and facts to back your statements up. I really love all the attention to detail you put in here. Great job!

It's not a true dissertation though, in that you only presented one side of the argument. You didn't actually mention any of the real negative effects of Cannabis. For example, extended exposure to it will render your sperm cells disfigured in such a way that they can no longer penetrate the ovum, rendering you sterile. On the one hand, this could be thought of as a good form of birth control, lol. But for those of you who want to have kids, it's probably not a good idea to light up when you're trying to have a baby.

Anyway, it was fun to watch, even if it was pretty biased. :) Thanks for the entertainment!

This is really starting to grow on me. :)

When I saw your first Duplikat a while back, I could definitely see a lot of potential, and I made a mental note to keep an eye out for more. ;) I wasn't disappointed.

The sketchy, jumpy style of animation is well-suited to this kind of a show, because it adds to the lighthearted humor. I hope you don't opt for more stunning graphics, lol. I like Duplikat kind of cartoony like this. :p

The humor isn't smack you in the face and gory, but it's definitely present. The cuteness adds to it too. I love it when Duplikat uses his duplication pose and gives that little meow. xD Made me laugh.

The interactivity points come from your kickass preloader, title, and ending page graphics. :) There wasn't a whole lot of functionality, but what was there was pretty.

I'm beginning to love this stuff. Keep it up!

Not too bad for a first!

As far as stick flashes go, it's very choppy and the fighting rather slow. But despite that, I can see that you put a nice amount of attention to detail in there. :) I like the fact that you decided to provide a back story and not just do mindless fighting, lol.

Are you going to buy a license to Flash so you can continue the series? I hope so. Makenai! (don't give up!)

Fremen responds:

Thanks. I'm gonna get a copy of Flash from my friend, so I will probably do one or two animations over the summer.

I'll try to continue this series, so you can look forward to Black 2 and 3. Also, I'll probably get better as it goes. The best example I can think of is Xin. In the beginning it was ok, but at the end, it was amazing.

Awesome! Kicktacular!

I loved this. The animation was smooth and pretty (although Chuck's arms were a little incongruent, lol), and the audio made me laugh. :p The colors were vibrant and went well together, and there were tons of little details here and there that made everything 100% sweeter. :)

The good:
All of what I said above, lol.

The bad:
You might want to try moving chuck's shoulders around a bit as his arms move.

The ugly:
Your spelling is atrocious. :) Congratulations! This was undoubtedly on purpose, and added to the hilarity.

Make more flash!! Now!

Bleh...

I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. xD

Not that my comments count or anything, since you obviously won't like them anyway...

The animation was good at first, but then I began to realize that you were just going to repeat the same stuff over and over again. Lip synching to music takes time and effort, but it's not difficult at all - especially to a slow-paced song like this. It's like you're trying out for a band, and when you get up there, you only play twinkle twinkle little star for the audition, lol.

But even the animation isn't my main concern. I'm just wondering why, if you hate this guy's music so much, do you even bother wasting creative energy on a vid for it? Like it or not, your video gives his music attention, even if you INTEND it to be only negative attention. Basically, you're Manson's tool. How do you like that? :p

How about making a video for something you're INTO next time?

taylor-bortner responds:

the fact that it repeats is to show how repetetive the song is

Lol!

That was awesome. :P The eye twitching was a nice touch too. xD

I didn't expect things to turn out that way at all. xD Great job, man. :P

AbzRox responds:

Abz: Thanx babe! means alot for my first flash!!!

Psy: Thanks for the review Shuko. I'm glad you liked it.

Yay! Drownded!

Lol. Great job, Randy. :P As usual, your brand of childish humor and fart jokes creates another instant classic. xD This movie not only made me laugh insanely, but also saddened me to think that I find this kind of humor so hilarious. xD Plus I was laughing at a mentally challenged toad... that makes me feel really great about myself. xD

Congrats on a swell toon, man. :P Next time make it longer! >=3

Lol. It's come a long way. :P

This Mario flash has evolved quite a bit since the last time I saw it. :P Great work! You need to work on incorporating more hand-drawn stuff tho. :P Your sprites are great, but the hand-drawn figures kind of varied in quality. ;)

Keep up the great work, Zonic! I'll be keeping an eye out for more of your stuff!

Btw, where d'you hang out nowadays, anyway? xD

Zonic64 responds:
