'''''N-Gang''''' was a comic series published in the 1999 and 2000 issues of the German [[Club Nintendo]] magazine. N-Gang is also the name of a group of [[human|teenagers]] who featured in these comics as the protagonists. Unlike previous comics published in Club Nintendo, ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' characters only played minor roles in the ''N-Gang'' series.

==Characters==
The ''N-Gang'' series centers on a group of five teenagers. It is heavily implied that the term "N-Gang" refers to this group, though this is never explicitly stated.

====Nick====
Nick is a tall boy with curly black hair and a short beard as his trademark. He is wearing a yellow T-shirt with a big red "N" printed on it. He has appeared in every comic but two, making him the most regularly appearing characters in the series along with Toni.

====Toni====
Toni presumably is Nick's best friend since both are often seen together. His trademark is his long blond hair and a red cap. He is also wearing a plaid jacket and short trousers.

====Big B.====
Big B., actually called Benno and often referred to as simply "B.", is the shortest member of the N-Gang. He is seen wearing a black cap, a purple sweater and wide trousers, all in all a very hip hop-orientated style. Big B. appears to be a very careless boy who often takes action without listening to what his friends are advising. He first appeared in the story "Kino & Ketchup".

====VIP====
Though mentioned by his friends several times before, VIP wasn't actually seen until the comic "Gecko." He is a handicapped boy with black hair and square glasses. VIP is able to bring video game characters to life, implying that he is a very intelligent boy.

====Gecko====
Gecko, debuting in the comic of the same name, is the only girl in the gang. She has skills in martial arts and uses them several times to help her friends. Gecko is wearing a red shirt with a gecko on it and black trousers.

====Robi, Pelle and Bernd====
Robi, Pelle and Bernd tease the N-Gang several times in the series (though it is Big B. who provokes them first). They appear as rather dumb and revengeful boys who steal Nick's [[Game Boy Color]], for example. Usually it is Gecko who drives them back.

====Jagdszenen aus der unteren Oberstufe====
Toni has to give a presentation in school. Meanwhile, Nick is playing ''[[Wario Land II]]'' on his [[Game Boy Color]] that VIP had repaired. Möller, his teacher, notices that, takes the Game Boy away and hands it over to schoolmaster Schröder. When in his office, Schröder inquisitively tries out the game. Suddenly, [[Wario]], the protagonist of the game, turns to life and chases the schoolmaster. When seeing that, Nick conjectures that VIP is responsible for it. He enters Schröder's office, finds the Game Boy and turns it off. As expected, Wario disappears from the "real world", but so does Schröder. Both can be seen now on the Game Boy display, where Wario continues to chase Schröder. When he finally throws him out of the screen, Schröder appears in the "real world" again, sitting on his cupboard, quivering. Frightened, he calls on Nick to leave his office and to take along his Game Boy.
