Description
There you go, second animation in the lot. And since some of you asked for color, there it is! (despite the fact this process took about 80% of the total amount of time spent on this animation). I had plans for more elements into this one, but I think it will be fine as is.The movements didn't turn out exactly as I wanted them to be, and I had a hard time with those hammers (merci Γmilie
), but in overall I'm kinda proud of this one. And hey, it features Mario. MAAAAAARIO!! *fangirls*My God, I'll be so tired at work tomorrow.
Drawn with Wacom 6x8" Intuos3 tablet. Total time spent : 25+ hours in Flash MX 2004.
Mario and all characters are copyright (c) Nintendo.

You really got it working great ill tell ya what. Soild animation as its best! Maybe Mario wont have so much bad luck if he picked up a 1up from that koopa, goomba trashing with the shell haha

Thanks! I wasn't sure about adding sound, y'know, because of those copyright infrigments... DA as a very strict policy about that and I don't want to deal with the troubles it could occur.

DA does indeed, but the chances of you getting caught are extremely unlikely. Its mostly because no one really bothers to report anything (why ruin someone else's fun?). And the careless staff don't have the time to go though the 2842048202 deviations submitted a day.

Yup I know all that. But it went kinda borderline with this other animation of mine, "The Console War". I don't know by which means, but the Flash gallery director did stumble upon it and note me about this particular deviation, telling me about the copyright infrigment. He gave me a chance to modify it before it would get permanantly deleted, but no change as been made yet. Maybe I should edit the music out of it before its too late. eh.
What I mean is, getting reported is not the only way you can get one of your deviations deleted, popularity is a great factor, too (and other things as well are).

You might be just having bad luck then.

I've been thinking a lot about uploading some stuff on YouTube. But my video encoders are kinda lame when it comes to convert flash movies to WMV.

Mario's facial expression when he got knocked out by the shell is hysterical.
π: 0 β©: 0
That's great, I especially love the hammers! And all the facial expressions are perfect.

Damn, what could I say? That was just perfect, spot on, though, when Mario was kicking his leg, it looked as if his leg is having a spasm or something. Perhaps if you made it swing back before? That's about the only complaint I have, heck, I even thought of the sounds throughout the animation!
Nice job, was this all frame by frame ( Aside from the obvious Copy+Paste )?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! For the leg, I didn't think it looked like a spasm, but now that you mentionned it I see it everytime he kicks. 
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope so, it was enjoyable to watch, at least. Thanks for the eye candy, and make sure you check those kicks next time. ^^

fantastic animation! Is it done frame by frame orrrrrrr...
π: 0 β©: 1
Most of it is done frame by frame. There's very few tweening.
Thanks!
π: 0 β©: 0
It's so true!
The animation is kind of wobbly, but maybe you meant for it to be like that? Otherwise it's really well done. Thank you for sharing!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, I opted for that kind of animation because I think it looks more lively (especially on long poses, where the character doesn't move).
Thanks for da comment!

Fffff okay that's it.
I am going to download this and watch it frame-by-frame and use this as one of my animation study guides.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, thanks.

The only real problem with the animation, I think, is that there's no real sense of weight when Mario throws the shell. Maybe delete a couple frames? Otherwise it moves great, especially especially in regards to the many collisions that occur. The "Squigglevision" style of animation must have added to the time it took to make this.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks for the comment! And for the part where Mario throws the shell, I think you are right. Most of my time and energy went into making the throwing movement fluid and consistent, so I guess I neglected that part of theory in the making of this animation.
Thanks for your input.

Mario got owned with the shell of rebound!

Nice job, I really like the Hammers flying and the Mario swing his arms parts he best.
That one reason it took so long for me to beat Mario Bros, except replace the block with a pipe.

You'd think that Mario would've been more careful when kicking that shell...

Moije l'ai vu genre 50 fois en boucle alors j'ai rien Γ dire....
Ok, non, tu as vraiment bien arrangΓ© le dernier marteau, il est cool.
En passant, est-ce que la coupe de cheveux de Mario est voulue, ou bien c'est rendu tellement ancrΓ© en toi que tu l'as faite subconsciemment (sΓ©rieusmenet, c,est Γ§a qui ma fait le plus rire
π: 0 β©: 1
Yay, j'ai ton approbation pour le dernier marteau!
pour la coupe de cheveux, tu as dΓ©jΓ eu ma rΓ©ponse Γ ce sujet.

This is as awesome of an animation as I've seen. You did a superb job of making sure everything was fluid and had a great flow, all while being able to be creative and expressive with this. I can't even fathom how much effort has been put into this. Take a break, dude. You clearly deserve it at this point.

Oh my gosh this is too cool! I really love how u'v animated all the koopas getting thwacked by the shell. Well dun! Wish i could animate like that!

Your animations really are funny and well done.
Keep 'em coming.

Ah, a sweet scene here, and I like the flow of the shell as it goes on its course. I also like the reactions of all of those hit by the shell, including the empty block.
Nicely done; keep up the great work.

This is a great animation, very smooth. Nice one

Lol funny....it reminds me when I was younger that I used to play Mario a lot
π: 0 β©: 0
Cool...IDEA!:The Shell hit alot of shyguys and when it hip bouser,a 1UP Sign appears!
π: 0 β©: 0
Fantastic, the animation is perfectly smooth and full off life. The highlight for me has gotta be Mario's final little "flapping" of his arms as he falls at the end there. The whole thing sorta reminds me of the Mario Bros. 3 intro, hehe.
*faves*

Wow... You're a skilled animator. Any tips? Who do you look to for inspiration?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! As for the inspiration, I don't really have any specific ones. I watched a lot of cartoons when I was younger, and some of my inspirations come directly from poses, scenes or scenarios I've seen back then. Of course add an animation class to that, and you get my animation experience as a result.
For the tips, I would suggest you an excellent book I had to purchase back then when I attented those animation classes, but I'm not at home right now and don't have the title at hand.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow! Just one class? I should think about taking one myself then!
I'll look for some animation books.
