:On [http://www.yoshiart.com/comics.php Yoshi Art.com] you can find a few pages of the 19th issue as well as the complete second Mario vs. Wario comic and another Japanese comic book for Yoshi's Island, which both don't have an article yet. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 14:38, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

Feel free to make them. {{User:Plumber/sig}}

I really want to see the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and [http://www.mariowiki.com/Paper_Mario:_The_Thousand-Year_Door  Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door] ones really bad.{{User:Lakitu bros/sig}}

I'd really like to see more issues, and larger images. [[User:Superjustin|Superjustin]] 18:40, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

I think I found a few scans of the pages, take a look: [http://www.koopatorivm.com/component/option,com_zoom/Itemid,36/catid,36/] and [http://yoshi.2yr.net/comics.php] (near the bottom of the page here). -- [[User: Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

Is there an online store that sells these? [[User:Superjustin|Superjustin]] 19:31, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

I've seen some issues on sale at eBay and Amazon; they're not translated or anything though. -- [[User: Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

This needs to be updated, and I'm not doing it. [[User:Superjustin|Superjustin]] 13:25, 19 August 2007 (EDT)



==RAWs==

I have the Raw (Which means the complete Issue Scaned in perfect japanese, but not in English) of the Issue 1. My question is, Do you mind if I put a link for download this raw? --[[User:GinnyN|GinnyN]] 19:10, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
:Well... I wouldn't mind. lol [[User:ForeverDaisy09|ForeverDaisy09]]
::I'm just asking if here exist some sort of policy about it. For me, no problems either --[[User:GinnyN|GinnyN]] 19:37, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
::::There's no policy against that. The more information we're supplied, the better. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 19:43, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
::::: Ok. I'll put the link when the Issue finish to upload. --[[User:GinnyN|GinnyN]] 20:18, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

== Download links? ==

Is it even legal to provide downloads of those comics? I don't think we should link to downloads here. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:57, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

:Yeah, that actually caught my attention too. They probably should be removed.(even though not many here can read Japanese) {{User:Garlic Man/sig}} I already have the books! :o
::As far as I know, these comics are not free, unlike [[Club Nintendo]] comics. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 07:01, 18 July 2008 (EDT)
::: Been myself who upload that stuff, I read somewhere (Don't ask me where please) if you can't get the original in your country, you can download it with no problems. And, since you can't get this manga outside Japan and this is a North American Page, it's not illegal. Far I'm concerned. If you believe is still illegal anyway, no problems from this side (And, anyway, I asked before do it and I receive a positive response to the idea... oh well...) - --[[User:GinnyN|GinnyN]] 10:00, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

== The problem with this article ==

The real problem with this article is that it speaks little of the insides of the comics, mainly just discussing what's on the front cover. I'm guessing at least a good portion of this articles' content comes from one's speculation (although I want to try buying the books soon) rather than many people who own them. Anyone who's actually read these much should contribute more of THEIR information. [[User:Leirin|http&#58;//www.mariowiki.com/images/8/87/Crystalbamonsig.png &#91;&#91;Crystal Batamon]]]] 15:20, 11 November 2008 (EST)
:It's true what you say, but the article is like that because of obvious reasons you pointed out. Garlic Man, one of the very few users who owns the books (and who speaks fluent Japanese, too), told that he will work on this article. But he doesn't seem to have time right now (he also hasn't added ''Super Mario-Kun'' information to [[Doopliss]]' article so far, which is required for FA status). --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 15:29, 11 November 2008 (EST)

Apparently there IS a Super Mario RPG comic, since I just found a page from it:

[[File:SmithySuperMarioKun.jpg]]

buuut, this is all I can find of it (also I found it completely on accident on a japanese Mario fan's page). {{unsigned|Will work for frog coins}}
:How weird, I did too O_o I was just about to put it up here! So I guess we ought to remove the thing about no Super Mario RPG? (Or maybe it was just a side-story, who knows.)

[[Image:Smrpg_manga_page.png]]

I dunno if it's old or if he's going back to do it because of Virtual Console and the lack of major Mario releases lately. Plus, it was posted on a Japanese person's blog just in March of this year. I have no idea, but I'll report back when more information comes! Leirin 15:34, 5 April 2009 (EDT) {{user:Leirin/sig}}

Can we confirm whether or not Issues 19 and 20 are definately based on Yoshi's Story, and if Issue 23 still involves Mario Party? — [[User:NES Boy|NES Boy]] 16:33, 4 May 2009 (EDT)

19 and 20 are based on Yoshi Story I found a torrent for vol.1-20 awhile back(EDT)
{{unsigned|Arith}}

== Volumes ==

The problem with this article is it constantly says "comic book" and "issues" even though these are MANGA VOLUMES, not issues/comic books. I changed a few of the "comic books" into "manga volumes" but if more people could do some that would be great. -Leety

== Manga Raws ==

If anyone here needs the manga raws, go here (V1-20, 25-30 are available):
http://www.filefactory.com/f/24f86eae7eef23d4/

I found that link here:
http://sakurahana.com/forum/manga-raws/10944-super-mario-kun-v01-20-a.html

I posted the link for the raws so more info on the Super Mario-kun article can be added.

I'll try to find the other ones. [[User:DranzerX13|DranzerX13]] 07:38, 26 April 2011 (EDT).

== ARCS! ==

Google Translate has given us a vague idea of the actual arcs. Yes, there is a SMRPG one! Just go to japanese wikipedia and get google translate to translate (rather badly) the Super Mario-kun page. it's a little hard to find it but it's there. :D -leetdoom

== Translating the comic scenes ==

Hello everyone! It's [[User:Johnny Mind|Johnny Mind]] here. I've just translated the Monstar scene of Super Mario-Kun. If it's okay, I'm willing to translate all the others scenes on the Wiki and the Manga itself in the future.
:No, someone reverted it. {{User:Pinkie Pie/sig}} 14:40, 1 February 2014 (EST)
::Thanks a lot! I really appreciate translations of the ''Super Mario-Kun''. My sister and own several volumes of it and it's really hard to appreciate it when the only thing that can be read are the pictures. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 14:41, 1 February 2014 (EST)
::PS I undid the revert
:::Well, [http://www.mariowiki.com/Category:Comic_scenes there is an entire category of comic scenes of stuff we uploaded], so, we will highly appreciate it if you translate any of these images. {{User:Mario/sig}} 00:25, 2 February 2014 (EST)

==Page Layout==
Hey guys, this is Embyr from Metroid Wiki. I'm in Japan right now and just discovered the Super Mario Kun series at a local second-hand book store (they're hilarious and perfect for my level of Japanese comprehension), and I'd like to contribute to this page as I read through the ones I've purchased. Since there's a lot of potential for expansion, I wanted to ask about a preferred page layout. Should we keep everything in a table and keep the descriptions very short? Or is a more detailed plot summary more desirable? [[User:Embyr 75|Embyr 75]] ([[User talk:Embyr 75|talk]]) 07:03, 17 August 2014 (EDT)
:For this page it'd probably be better for keeping the summaries short, however, if you want to you could probably create a page for the volumes and put a more detailed plot summary in there. {{User|Yoshi876}}

::Sounds like a good option. I don't think I'm autoconfirmed yet, though, so I'll probably just leave a note here with the volume number when I'm ready and have one of you guys create it. [[User:Embyr 75|Embyr 75]] ([[User talk:Embyr 75|talk]]) 08:33, 17 August 2014 (EDT)
:::You'll be autoconfirmed in a few days, don't worry about it. {{User|Yoshi876}}

I know where to get some volumes, and am willing to help create articles for the individual articles. --[[User:Ultimate Luigi|Ultimate Luigi]] ([[User talk:Ultimate Luigi|talk]]) 23:01, 4 July 2015 (EDT)

:Awesome. I'm still on board with this project, just being very lazy about it. I have volumes 19-22 and 30. {{User:Embyr_75/sig}} 16:44, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

== Move ==

Super Mario Maker has given the name "SUPER MARIO KUN" for the comic. I believe the page should be moved. {{User:Misty/sig}} 11:50, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
:I'm not sure why there's a hyphen there as I'm as fluent in Japanese as I am in Farsi, but I think it serves a purpose that I'm not too sure of. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 12:01, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
::[[wikipedia:Japanese honorifics|Japanese honorifics]] normally have hyphens when translated (in this case, スーパーマリオくん to Super Mario-kun). However, Mario Maker has it as SUPER MARIO KUN, rather than Super Mario-kun. [[User:PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) 12:46, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
:::Well something about it doesn't sit right with me when the name is in all caps. It sounds more like a game file name than anything and it's something I don't really take seriously when it comes to naming objects. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 12:50, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
::::The move suggestion I added is for it in "standard case". [[User:PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) 13:11, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
:::::Yeah I know it's in standard case but the source of the name is in all caps. I mean, I'm not necessarily opposed to moving to the variation in Mario Maker but I'm not necessarily supporting this move either as that's the translation of the characters. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 13:15, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
::::::I don't think it should be moved. Super Mario-Kun ''is'' the official name, after all. [[File:MP8Mario.png|25px]][[User:MarioKid|MarioKid]] ([[User talk:MarioKid|Talk]]) [[File:Luigi mp8 profile.png|25px]] 21:23, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

== Super Mario-'''K'''un or '''k'''un ==

Well, it is a very minor thing that don't change anything at all, but I think the correct romanization for くん is "kun" with the "k" not capitalized.In japanese titles are translated/romanized using lowercase letters, since they aren't part of the person's name, but actually a honorific. {{User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig}} 20:02, 16 June 2017 (EDT)
::Agreed, honorifics aren't supposed to be capitalized. When honorifics like -san or -chan are used, they're written in lower caps, and the same holds true for -kun. It should be corrected. [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] ([[User talk:Ericss|talk]]) 21:11, 22 February 2018 (EST)

== Yoshi's New Island ==
