An old drawing with a sentiment I still hold, even today. What sentiments are those? *ahem*

So, over the years and even to this very day, I've seen several, SEVERAL pictures all over the internet depicting the meeting of TMNT and SMB similar to the first panel, where the TMNT are avenging all the "innocent turtles" that the Mario Bros. have stomped on.

The thing is... Koopa Troopas aren't innocent turtles minding their own business. They're troops who work for Bowser, an evil demonic tyrant of a turtle. The TMNT wouldn't simply be on the side of the Koopa just because they're "fellow turtles". The TMNT are on the side of good, regardless of species. Let's not forget that Tokka and Slash, two enemies of the TMNT, are turtles themselves.

So, ya, I basically just whipped this up as a response to all the many pictures I see of the TMNT getting ready to beat up the SMB for stomping on Koopas. Because, outside of a misunderstanding or some kind of set-up by Bowser, I don't see that happening. Not to mention that Mario and Luigi wouldn't exactly be pushovers, either, since there's a good reason they're often called the SUPER Mario Bros., afterall.
