The '''Nintendo Comics System''' series, published by [[Valiant Comics]], made comic books of many Nintendo characters, including [[Mario]]. He usually turned up paired with other characters, like [[Captain N]] or [[Link]]. They were quite funny, and featured special little pages like "Ask Princess Toadstool" and fake advertisements, like one for "Koopa Cola" (the only soda made with real coal! Now available in regular and extra-fat sizes!).

The '''''Nintendo Comics System''''' is the umbrella brand for [[Valiant Comics]]'s line of licensed comics based on [[Nintendo]] properties. Running from 1990 to 1991, the comics include stories based on ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'', ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' (with some inspirations from  [[The Legend of Zelda (television series)|the cartoon]]), {{wp|Punch-Out!!|''Punch-Out!!''}}, ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' (one story), and ''[[Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N]]''. Issues could feature comics based on multiple properties or focus on a single one. Of the properties featured, ''Super Mario'' was the most prolific and longest-running.


Distinct from the regular ''Super Mario'' stories is the 4-issues ''[[Game Boy (comic)|Game Boy]]'' miniseries, focusing exclusively on ''[[Super Mario Land]]''.


==Overview==


==Heavy Stock==
The premise of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' comics, set up by the introductory story "[[The Legend]]", follows the basic plot of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': the peaceful [[Mushroom Kingdom]] is invaded by the evil forces of [[Bowser]]. Hearing the inhabitant's cries for help, two plumbers named [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] set out to adventure, defeating Bowser and restoring the kidnapped [[Mushroom King]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] to the throne. Hailed as heroes by the Mushroom Kingdom's denizens, Mario and Luigi decide to stay behind as its protectors, knowing Bowser won't take his defeat lying down.


===Super Mario Bros.===
From that point on, the comics had no overarching storyline. The stories featured Mario, Luigi, Toadstool and [[Toad]] foiling plots by Bowser and other villains to conquer the kingdom (often involving kidnapping the scatterbrained and moronic Mushroom King or the Princess), and sometimes getting into hijinks during their downtime. Stories were comedic and absurd in natures, with plots such as Bowser developing a bomb that makes all those who inhaled its fumes lethally stupid, or Toadstool participating in a bowling ball tournament played with oversized meatballs. Primarily drawing on the settings and characters of the platformers up to '''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the comic's cast was rounded by a number of original characters including the Mushroom King's beleaguered advisor [[Wooster]], the neurotic lovestruck [[Stanley the Talking Fish]], and Mario's superhero idol [[Dirk Drain-Head]].

—Introduction to Nintendo Comics System #1

The Nintendo Comics System is the umbrella brand for Valiant Comics's line of licensed comics based on Nintendo properties. Running from 1990 to 1991, the comics include stories based on Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda (with some inspirations from the cartoon), Punch-Out!!, Metroid (one story), and Captain N. Issues could feature comics based on multiple properties or focus on a single one. Of the properties featured, Super Mario was the most prolific and longest-running.

Distinct from the regular Super Mario stories is the 4-issues Game Boy miniseries, focusing exclusively on Super Mario Land.

Overview[edit]

The premise of the Super Mario Bros. comics, set up by the introductory story "The Legend", follows the basic plot of Super Mario Bros.: the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom is invaded by the evil forces of Bowser. Hearing the inhabitant's cries for help, two plumbers named Mario and Luigi set out to adventure, defeating Bowser and restoring the kidnapped Mushroom King and Princess Toadstool to the throne. Hailed as heroes by the Mushroom Kingdom's denizens, Mario and Luigi decide to stay behind as its protectors, knowing Bowser won't take his defeat lying down.

Primarily drawing on the settings and characters of the platformers up to 'Super Mario Bros. 3, the comic's cast was rounded by a number of original characters including the Mushroom King's beleaguered advisor Wooster, the neurotic lovestruck Stanley the Talking Fish, and Mario's superhero idol Dirk Drain-Head.

A trademark of the Nintendo Comics Systems line was breaking up the stories with one-off pages. These often featured visual humour and insight about the comic's characters.

Creative team[edit]

The Nintendo Comics System had a highly variable stable of writers and artists, leading to a somewhat inconsistent visual style. Some of the recurring writers and artists included Janet Jackson, Ken Lopez, Mark McClellan, Art Nichols, Bill Valely, John Walker, and P. Zorito.
