I've read Super Mario Manga Mania, which is a compilation of some of the chapters from Super Mario-kun. It wasn't really my thing - the humor felt too juvenile for Mario; I wish the gags were closer to, say, the Mario RPG games in terms of writing. I will say, though, the stand-out chapter for me was Super Mari-old, as that had a pretty serious story, which I found compelling and a nice change of pace from the others.

I've owned some volumes of the Super Mario-kun, specifically the Partners in Time volumes, which I have the most interest in. Obviously, I can't read it because I don't understand Japanese, forcing me to rely on forum posts or Discord channels to beg others to translate it, but there had been a lot of advancements in technology since I first bought it so now I can just upload scans to image translators such as AI to help me read the volumes now. Maybe I should get around doing that.

I've read a few of them. They're mainly just gag teasers to market the games.
