Super Mario Manga

Well, I have a few copies, and I like to have some more copies of the French version (I have only the first volume). Haven't scanned them.

Ok, thank you! I'm trying to make Italian Translations. I finded some chapters from the first volume in the Internet, but they are always ch. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,13,14,15. I think that I need ch. 9 to 12.

ah wait I actually have volume 3 of the French version of Super Mario-kun. Sorry for that confusion.

Is there anywhere on the internet, an english translation of the entire series?

Xiahou Ba · Jan 13, 2020

Sadly, no. I've seen an English translation for only the first one, the rest are readable only if you know Japanese or if you have the released Spanish and French versions and you know how to read those, which are limited than the entire series.

I have a ton of 4koma Mario mangas in full that are scanned in.

Here are the covers of the ones I have right now

I will be more than happy to share and to help improve the article(s) about them~

Edit: After looking through old posts I guess I can give out me source for them through PMs? idk but if I can then if you ask me I can give.

I just want to tear open that Mario & Luigi manga as if it's a slice of cake.

Ten · May 14, 2020

The first couple of pages~ I don't want to spam this poor thread with the whole thing.

The Luigi Mansion 4koma is also pretty legendary.

You should just put them in a MEGA folder and spread it as far as possible.

I actually found these from a MEGA folder online while surfing the web, and the original person is fine with downloads, but I'm still iffy about putting it here. It makes me feel weird, if you want you can message me and I can give it to you there~

Hello. Well, this is an old thread and without recent discussions but since it's in the Wiki forum I'll post here anyway. I recently became interested in the many Mario manga works out there and noticed some aren't in the MarioWiki. For now I'll just post some info here that I couldn't find in the Wiki or in this thread, those who know how to edit the articles on the Wiki can feel free to do so.

The 4koma Gag Battle series has a 2nd volume for DKC and one for DCK2.

The 4koma Manga Theater series, besides the listed 11 volumes of Super Mario, has one Game Boy Gallery volume and 3 Donkey Kong Country volumes. The 2nd DK volume was the only one I could find an acceptable picture.

There was another series by Keibunsha called 4koma Land. Four volumes were released: Mario & Zelda, Super Mario, Mario & Wario and DKC, released between 1993 and 1995 according to Keibunsha's Japanese Wikipedia page: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/勁文社#4コマランド

Another 4koma series that is missing in the Wiki but it's a bit more story driven is Gogo! Mario World, released by Enix. Only one volume was released but it doesn't have the final chapters. It's remarkable for Mario's characterization being very arrogant.

That's it for now, of course there's way more stuff out there, I might make another post if there's enough interest.

Hey, if you have any links to full scans of these mangas please DM me using the Start Conversation button! I've been working hard with collecting clean scans for wiki for a while now lol.

I do have a full scans of the Mario & Wario 4koma, Gogo! Mario World 4koma, and Game and Watch Gallery 4koma. I will attempt to find the other mangas you mentioned but if you have links already that would be very helpful!

I don't have any besides the ones you already do, in fact, I don't even have the Game Boy Gallery one, so, I'll be happy if you could send me some link of it. Most information I gathered are from Japanese Wikipedia pages, that's how I learned that there's more 4koma besides those that are in the Wiki. The DK ones are specially hard to find to find pictures or information, even googling in Japanese. Best I can do is try to help with some release dates I could find about some of them.

I do know that Zelda archivist @HistoryofHyrule on Twitter has that Mario & Zelda one but I don't think she scanned it yet.

And I actually forgot in my previous post that Yoshi's Story also has it's own 4koma Manga Theater volume separated from the Super Mario series and there's a Super Mario Short Comic Theater volume by the same publisher. I do got scans of those.

I also have the Yoshi's Island anthology by ASCII Comix. I currently don't know a lot about it to say what to write on an article.

Let's talk some missing DK mangas on the Wiki, like Uho Uho Donkey-kun and the Super Donkey Kong one. Those are available in unedited, high quality scans by @randomhoohaas. The JP Wikipedia page says that Donkey-kun also has a couple of final chapters in the Bessatsu Corocoro magazine that didn't make it to the fifth volume. Would be nice to let the communitty know about it so maybe one day we can scan them too. Same with the Gogo! Mario World final chapters in Monthly Shonen Gag King.
