Editing Super Mario (Kodansha manga)

{{publication infobox

The '''''Super Mario''''' manga by [[Kazuki Motoyama]], also known as '''''KC Mario''''', was serialized by {{wp|Kodansha}} in their manga anthology ''{{wp|Comic BomBom}}'' from December 1988 through September 1998, with side chapters published in the sister publication ''Deluxe BomBom'', spanning a total of 183 stories. The manga features original characters, the use of {{wp|Self-referential humor|self-referential humor}}, and occasional references to Japanese pop culture. The manga was never published under a single consistent title, instead changing its title to tie in with the latest ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game being adapted at the time, starting from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' all the way up to ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', with the final two collected volumes in this series tying into ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. The manga ceased publication due to Kodansha losing the ''Super Mario'' license and has never been reprinted since then. The series includes a large amount of crude humor throughout the series, such as nudity and sexual innuendos.
