Mario Warfare Episode 1 Released December 12, 2012

Did you ever wonder what would happen if the story of Super Mario was depicted a little bit more, realistically?  Or perhaps, you just wanted to see heroes like Mario and Toad fighting with guns and kung-fu.  Well, Beatdown Boogie, the makers of Modern War Gear Solid, has just released exactly what you want!

The first episode of the highly anticipated independently made fanfilm Mario Warfare was released to the internet yesterday, and it is just amazing.  The film takes all the classic characters that we remember from the Mario series and completely turns the Mushroom Kingdom on its head, as King Koopa prepares to attack.  Just who will defend them, and who will rescue the Princess?

This fanfilm was in production for quite some time.  It was announced shortly after the conclusion of Modern War Gear Solid, and there was a lot of teaser material released about it, so people have been anticipating its release for months.  I was planning to include this as part of Mario Weekend, but since it wasn’t out yet at the time that happened, I decided not to mention the series during that event and instead to hold off talking about it until the first episode released.  Enjoy!
