Reviews

Do the Mario - buy this book

"There are very few books that cover the Mario Brothers 3 universe so if you are looking, this is a great book. Age appropriate? You bet your banana hammock. This book will delight both young and old but will spare you 'doing the mario'."

— Lyndon B. (5/5)

Super Mario!

"I love this comic so much that Ive gifted it for 2 birthdays! It came from Nintendo power back in the day and it holds up today. My kids have read it again and again"

— Zelda (5/5)

8yr old LOVED it

"Bought for my son's 8th birthday. . . an avid reader and huge fan of all things Super Mario. He devoured this book and 6mo later has probably read it over a dozen times. Great history and illustrations; highly recommend."

— Evalina0 (5/5)

Loved it!

"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!"

— Jill (5/5)

A must read

"This is a really funny look at the Mario universe. It really reminds me of the humor of the RPG Mario games. The artwork is wonderful also, and the coloring of the book is very faithful to the original Nintendo Power issues."

— Anonymous (5/5)

Son loves it

"My son has had this on his wish list for a while. He sat down and read it back to back times when it came, and I could hear him giggling away as he did."

— Candice (5/5)

Super fun and nostalgic collection of comics

"If you like me subscribed to Nintendo Power in its heyday during the 90s then you're likely fo find this book irresistible. Even if you haven't but just have an appreciation for Nintendo, Super Mario, or video game memorabilia, this will be a delight."

— Zroid (4/5)

Kentaro Kawamoto was born in Tokyo in 1960 and attended the Department of Living Design at Kuwasawa Design School. He is a notorious artist, essayist, otaku, and all-around celebrity in Japan. His books include Armageddon and Me and Berabo na Hitobito. Takakuma's painting "A Dream-like Plan for the Thomas-ification of JR Chuo-line Locamotives"(2000, asrylic on linen on wood panel, 46"x35 3/4") appeared as part of the celebrated Superflat art exhibition. His only other manga work published in English is Super Mario Adventures, which originally ran in Nintendo Power magazine and was collected in 1993 into a book of the same name. The long-out-of-print book is once again available in a new edition.
