I wish I could sum up this review in 2 words: "Plain. Awesome". Unfortunately there is way too much I want to say about how fantastic this movie is.
First off, the sprites. Amazing. The each of the characters sprites from the sheets have been used to maximise their full potential, using some sprites some would've never thought on using in the given opportunity. For example, using the Master hand sprites for the hands of Mario and Luigi. The custom sprites, fantastic. The fire sonic sprites were fantastic, it almost seemed like they were crafted by Sega staff themselves. The close up sprite artwork gave a new feel to the movie and gave the characters more depth. These close up shots proved that you are not only a sprite user, but an artist.
Second, the storyline. A big step up from the previous movie, however, in my opinion, not enough progress. Some good points, however: The tension. In the Shadow departing scene, my mouth went dry. A large number of emotion in there that draws me to the story, but of course, no matter how epic the movie can be, you seem to fit in those small points of comedy that makes me laugh out loud.
Third and lastly, the animation. Even though these sprites were intended for 2D use, you've managed to transform them into 3D characters using not only edited sprites, but the space of the screen. Making some parts of the character move at different times (e.g. Hammer mario running), you've managed to give me another point of view on how sprites can be used. Many animators can learn from you're animation style. The angle transitions were done very smoothly, which is what impressed me the most.
Most importantly, you've managed to squeeze in something that makes everyone love this series: Luigi getting fryed, beaten, or otherwise hurt in a comical fashion. Please, for your fans, finish this saga.

Nice questions, I learned quite a bit from playing this quiz.
First off, the checkpoints. An ok idea, however it was very annoying how the music restarted every time you restarted in the first couple of questions.
The maze game was easy to beat via right clicking.
I also noticed a glitch. After question 11, if you got an answer wrong, you wouldn't go to the game over screen, just back to question 11.
The quiz layout was pretty 5 second in my opinion. If the answer buttons stayed in the same place after every question, it would make the quiz as a whole look a lot more professional.
In conclusion, this isn't a bad flash game, but it could've been produced a whole lot better.

Sorry but I don't think this deserves as big as score as it is. The animation was very basic, and the storyline made no sense. The blood splatter however was very detailed, and the pistol was well designed. The scene with the man on the floor dead looked very 5 second.
To the audio, the yelling and screams were poor quality, lowering the sound pitch of the voices may increase the sound quality.
Overall, it gave me a laugh, however it could use some work.

GT has always been one of my favorites. And this one takes the cake.
Even without knowledge about racing games you've seemed to have outlined them perfectly. (But then again, that's not too hard.) Anyway, great voice acting by Ego, excellent animation, especially with the side on lip syncing. However, the repetitive background music did seem to get boring after a while, so more BGM variety would be great.
I'm racing to vote 4/10 and 8/10.

Haha, well when I was making this I had a very limited budget provided (not to mention time) to me by the ABC. I couldn't really afford a massively elaborate selection of background music for the project. But I totally agree with what you're saying.

Nice Rick Roll. I didn't see it coming. The way you set up the menu was fantastic, it looked like the real thing. Happy Pico day! :)

Im shure it looked like the real thing. Now I must go back to the world of no sarcasm. Good day.

A couple of poor things about this flash I want to point out.
- Too many filters were used.
- The sprites were slightly out of proportion, especially in the Mario Bros stage scene.
- No real storyline.
- FPS was low. Try using tweens more often with sprite movies.
- In you BIO, we don't really care that you've used 3 months into making this, and don't ask us to not blam it. Some people like sprites, others don't.
- Overused characters, Mario VS Sonic movies have been done too many times.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. Hopefully that'll give you something to think about.

Your movie wasn't the greatest, but not back for a first attempt. Here's a few steps you can take to improve on your future work:
1. Before submitting a movie, try making an icon. Movies without icons usually get lower scores.
2. We all like Madness, however the idea is getting pretty stale and should really be left to it's original creator: Krinkels. Try making up your own ideas.
3. Hank can't talk. Sorry :P
4. The animation was quite choppy. Try spending more time on movement and place a few more frames in between character movement.
5. Add sound. Adding sound into a movie can change the score dramatically.
Overall it wasn't the greatest piece of work I've ever set my eyes on, however you've done an ok job for a first submission.

I have to say this made my day. Really funny stuff, the overall art could have been better, but pretty good none the less. Maybe make it slightly longer next time, that may get people's attention.

Very entertaining and easy to play. I couldn't get past 1400 scrolls. Music was perfectly fitted to the game. The best part about it was the simplicity. Anyone can have a try.
Overall Scores:
9/10

Great original concept. Angryfaic design was good. Maybe add some enemys? (As OmegaDead said: Happyfaics?) I found it hard to switch between colours so rapidly, so maybe add a sidebar that shows the list of coloured angryfaics in order, and which one you're currently using, that way, people will know how many times they have to click.
