Super Mario Manga

Hold on, maybe it's actually a really outie belly button.

 

[Ray Trace]

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. '~'

 

[DragonFreak]

Japanese censoring is so funny.

Spoiler: Burt the Bashful

Good gracious, Japan actually went there.

 

[Walkazo]

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?).

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Hold on, maybe it's actually a really outie belly button.

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.

Super Mario-Kun: For Kids!! :D

Super Mario-Kun: For Kids!! :D

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

But I'm not surprised at all.

 

[Ultraluigi]

maybe burt is supposed to be a little kid?
otherwise, i dont know

On a somewhat related note, someone on Donkey Kong Universe is translating one of the Donkey Kong Club Nintendo comics.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Oh my gosh, I'd like to see how this turns out. No doubt that it's useful.

 

[Walkazo]

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)

 

[Ray Trace]

Sorry about that, but if I can read it myself, I will read it myself.

 

[Glowsquid]

In somewhat related news, someone just created a page about a Starfy manga chapter featuring Wario.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

W00t, more obscure manga, thanks to Chickasaurus.

 

[Glowsquid]

In other slightly related news, Supper Mario Broth and Mario fandom gentleman extraordinaire MiloScat have translated the Club Nintendo Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story (y'know, the one with KISS) comics.

 

[Mario4Ever]

Well, as it turned out, that guy was a charlatan. Sadly, it was too late that I realised the so-called wizard was, in reality, a penguin breeder from southern Denmark.

[LeftyGreenMario]

Has anyone seen this before? I haven't.

What exactly is this comic called?

 

[Mario4Ever]

Super Mario Land: Yoshi's Egg for the first one and Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land for those other two.

 

[Walkazo]

Super Mario World: Yoshi's Egg, you mean. No idea what it's called (I've never seen it before either, to my knowledge), but the publisher's "KC Derakkusu" (KCデラックス), for what it's worth.

 

[Mario4Ever]

Yeah. Thanks, Walkazo. I mistyped there.

I believe デラックス is "deluxe."

 

[User4042]

Yeah. Thanks, Walkazo. I mistyped there.

I believe デラックス is "deluxe."

Apparently

 

[Walkazo]

Makes sense.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Thanks. So, is there any series name to this, or is it just called "KC Comics"?

 

[Mario4Ever]

It appears to be an off-shoot of 講談社コミックス (Kōdansha Comics, abbreviated KC) that launched in 1980.
