From the pages of Nintendo Power magazine, a full-color graphic novel inspired by the classic Super Mario Bros. video game franchise! Super Mario Adventures , inspired by the bestselling Super Mario video game franchise, is a collection of comics that originally ran in Nintendo Power magazine in 1992-93. The peril-plagued Princess Toadstool is kidnapped by the diabolical deadbeat Bowser but super plumbers Mario and Luigi hatch a plan with their new friend Yoshi to rescue her. Are the Super Mario Bros’ plans a pipe dream? Can they stop the Koopa King before he forces the Princess to be his bride?! Long out of print, this stunning, full-color graphic novel is now available once again! Review: Great purchase - I love reading this book with my kid, and he also likes reading it on his own. Definitely a must have for a young Mario fan. Review: A fantastic and fun graphic novel for Super Mario fans of ALL AGES! - When I was a teenager, I managed to come across the original volume that collected these 13 Nintendo Power comics into a single volume, and I fell in love with it. Unfortunately through many moves in my adult life I lost that copy and replacing it I discovered would be grossly expensive as it was out of print. Lo, to my surprise and excitement I learned about this re-print and delightfully jumped at the opportunity to own it once more. While the cover art for the book has changed from the first printing, the comic art inside is just as crisp and colorful as I remember. The story is charming and delightfully brings to life the Super Mario World era Mario in an excellent original adventure that is full of charm, humor, and an incredible amount of fun references to the games themselves. This is most definitely the definitive Super Mario comic to experience, as the characters leap off the page and give you an amazing fun experience, and feels 100% faithful to it's source material, you never once feel as if something doesn't belong. The story itself is framed in the classical Mario plot, with the Mario Bros. going to Princess Peach's castle to do some plumbing work for a big party, only to have King Koopa, Bowser himself show up and announce his intent to Marry the Princess or he'll turn her subjects to stone. Mario and Luigi jump into action and go to try and stop Bowser, and along the way go through several fantastic and familiar locations like the Mushroom Kingdom Castle, A Haunted House, Koopaling Tower, Dark Forests, and even Koopa's Castle. Along the way meeting a slew of fun Mario characters, Yoshi, Toad, The Koopa Kids, and tons of Mario enemies like Goombas, Koopa Troops, Caterpillars, Thwomps, Reznors, Piranha Plants, Magikoopas and several more. The story plays out over 12 chapters, each one about 8 mutli-panel pages, and there's an additional Bonus chapter at the end with a new story based off Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, showing the relationship between Mario and his evil counterpart Wario. This is a great comic that's easy to read for younger readers, and will delight Mario fans of all ages. I highly recommend it. In addition to this fantastic comic, I would also greatly recommend The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past graphic novel which also released originally in Nintendo Power and is collected in a single volume by the same publisher.

Even better than I remember them
I read these back in the Nintendo Power magazine when I was a kid and loved them then. I still can remember just about every single pane and line and they bring a great nostalgia trip. I bought these to share with my son who is just learning to read and loves Mario (and it can be hard to get him to read with me so these were perfect!). We had so much fun reading them. So much of the humor went over my head when I was a kid, but now as an adult I was laughing out loud at half the stories. And it contains a cross-dressing Luigi section that is a real gem and isn't inappropriate for kids or offensive to modern sensibilities, but is just light-hearted good fun. Kids and adults will love these high quality comics with great stories and great artwork.

Fun, fast-paced read that brings the world of Mario to life beyond the screen ... easy for kids to stay engaged from start to finish. The illustrations are colorful and expressive, perfectly capturing the characters everyone loves.

Cómic entretenido en inglés
Es un cómic en inglés con aventuras de Super Mario. Ha sido para una niña de 9 años, muy fan de los personajes de Super Mario. El nivel de inglés está bien para esa edad. Me ha pedido más como éste. Me ha parecido adecuado para ejercitar el idioma. Recomendado

FUMETTO IN INGLESE
HO REGALATO IL LIBRO A FUMETTI AL MIO NIPOTINO,LUI PARLA MOLTO BENE L'INGLESE E LO HA MOLTO APPREZZATO. NON AMA MOLTO LEGGERE MA QUESTO LO HA ENTUSIASMATO. PER CHI DEVE ESERCITARSI CON LA LINGUA è CONSIGLIABILE

Very colourful and funny comic series from Nintendo magazine’s
Story time with my 4 year old became a bit more fun as I attempt all the voices and comic book noises. She really enjoys the Mario world and the book offers good value with a large series of comics originally published in Nintendo magazines. Now you can enjoy Mario and Luigi trying to rescues Princess Peach from Bowser to you’re hearts content.
