I may have cried a little bit...
The amount of epic win in that movie was amazing.
This is why I love SMBZ every episode thats about 7+ years but in that time you become that much better of an artist, and animator making the movies better.
The 3D Doomship did look a bit off with the backgrounds but it was awesome nonetheless.
The part with Sonic and Shadow was very touching and cool, in particularwith your new hand drawn up close parts which in certain parts looked beyond amazing, in particular that part when Sonic mentions Maria and it shows Shadow's face, and when Mario clashed weapons with the Koopa guy. just WOW man.
All the 3D Parts you added flowed perfectly especially when they were dodging the cannon fire.(I laughed so hard at "DO A BARREL ROLL")
The effects were once again very nice, and I'm pretty sure I saw some ones that might have been custom made by you, like some of the new sprites, like Peach for instance looking like she almost got a whole sprite overhaul(Good, I didn't like her GBA/DS sprites much =x ) All the rest of the characters got new shiny animations to go with their new fancy attacks that are looking sexier every episode.
Now, the battle scene... Oh my dear lord... that... was... just... like... AMAZINGLY OUT OF THIS WORLD! Flaming Sonic, Raccoon Mario and Luigi, Yoshi taking it to the house, AWESOME
Man, I could go on about how much I loved this episode, but I think you get the point...
With Love and Respect(and waiting for #9[take your time it's SO worth it])
