I was in middle school when I first found SMBZ. Now I'm 30. Time flies fast.

Oh yeah, Aseprite is a powerful tool for sprite animators. Don't know how I ever got by without it.

Heard of you since middle school back in either 2011 or early 2012 when I was 12 or 13. I was in my classroom and my friends were talking about Super Mario Bros Z. At first, I thought it was just a 3 way crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, and Dragon Ball Z. But, it turns out, it was better than I THOUGHT. I too was hooked it. But after that, I lost interest in it a couple weeks or months later. 8 year later in 2019, after getting into sprite animation in mud 2018, I had a brain fart that allowed me to remember the series and I've felled in live ALL over again. It was also a suprise to see the fandom, and you, STILL alive at that time the moment I regained interest in the series again. Keep up at it Mark. And keep doing what you're doing. You've created SO many childhoods. ❤❤❤❤🦔👨🔧🤖💎💎

I'm kind of worried about Mark's health and wellbeing. Hope he's okay.

Hi Mark, are you okay? It's been a while since you posted anything, and I don't mean anything about SMBZ, but anything in general. I'd like to know if you're alright and that nothing bad has happened to you.

As a rom hacker I love Asesprite! Been making a game inspired by SMBZ!

I will be switching to Aseprite from this point going forward for my sprite editing needs. Paintshop Pro has served me well throughout the years, but having the ability to animate sprites before exporting them is infinitely more useful and time efficient.
