Super Mario Manga

Hold on, maybe it's actually a really outie belly button.
 
That's what my second thoughts are since Sawada does censor those parts (like you see a black dot censor thing on a naked Wario).

But I don't know. It's shaped like exactly what it looks like. '~'
 
I feel like Mario ("uh!") and Burt's reactions suggest it is what it is. And maybe it's not censored for the same reason Bart's "doodle" isn't in The Simpson's Movie? There's a difference between grown men's junk and what the comic seems to be depicting (guess Burt's prepubescent?).

Except outie belly buttons are depicted usually with an x in the middle.

And I don't think people get embarrassed by showing their belly button.

It has a lot of poop in it too, like a typical Japanese comic towards kids.

But I'm not surprised at all.
 
Oh my gosh, I'd like to see how this turns out. No doubt that it's useful. :)
 
Awesome. And ye gods that's a lot of text. The translator's got their work cut out for them.


Anyway, here's the start of the translations for the stuff posted a while back. I only had the time to do the first of the three scans, and I was getting tired and lazy by the end, tho (my 8 hrs of sleep over the past three days is starting to catch up with me)...

PAGE 1:

Narration: Mario and Co., who have collected the 5th Cobalt Star Shard,
Luigi: Big Brooo I'm tired.
Baby Luigi: I wanna rest.
Narration (cont'd): This is the story of what happens en route to Shroob Castle in order to save Princess Peach. [at least, that's the gist of it; fun fact: the first bit reads "Piichi-hime kyushutsu", like the anime film]

Baby Mario: It can't be helped. (literally, "there's no way")
Mario: Okay, only for a little...

L&BL: "gu~ gu~" (zzzz)
M: ...ts. That's not a little! That's resting too strongly!

M: Wake up!
L: Morning already?
ML: Uhh, let me sleep another 5 minutes.
BM: Are you a student of sleeping in!!

PAGE 2

M: Tch. You guys are so useless.
Tanoomba: !
"kasa kasa" (rustle rustle)

T: It's the humans I haven't seen in a long time.
Label/dialogue: Tanubou/Tanoomba

"Bon" (poof)
T: I'm gonna give them a little grief. [or something vaguely like that]

M: Alright, everyone, let's eat - there's a cake we've prepared. [again, roughly]
BM: All right! (yatta)
BL: Eat! Eat!

M: The cake's here... huh?
Tanoomba-as-Luigi: Delicious cake!
"baku baku musha musha musha" (munch munch om nom nom)
