Huh? Superjustin 18:40, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

If anyone could find pictures of the inside of this comins i owuld love it! File:Mayor.gifPaper Jorge

On 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. --Grandy02 14:38, 30 June 2007 (EDT)

Feel free to make them. ^Plumber

I really want to see the Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door ones really bad. Dark Lakitu 789

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

I think I found a few scans of the pages, take a look: [1] and [2] (near the bottom of the page here). -- Sir Grodus

Is there an online store that sells these? 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. -- Sir Grodus

This needs to be updated, and I'm not doing it. 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? --GinnyN 19:10, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Well... I wouldn't mind. lol ForeverDaisy09

I'm just asking if here exist some sort of policy about it. For me, no problems either --GinnyN 19:37, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

There's no policy against that. The more information we're supplied, the better. — Stooben Rooben 19:43, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Ok. I'll put the link when the Issue finish to upload. --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. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 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) Marcelagus (T • C • E) I already have the books! :o

As far as I know, these comics are not free, unlike Club Nintendo comics. --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...) - --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. http://www.mariowiki.com/images/8/87/Crystalbamonsig.png [[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). --Grandy02 15:29, 11 November 2008 (EST)

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

buuut, this is all I can find of it (also I found it completely on accident on a japanese Mario fan's page).
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Will work for frog coins (talk).

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.)

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) LEIRIN

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? — 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)
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Arith (talk).

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. 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 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. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 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. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:41, 1 February 2014 (EST)

PS I undid the revert

Well, 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. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 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? 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. Yoshi876 (talk)

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. Embyr 75 (talk) 08:33, 17 August 2014 (EDT)

You'll be autoconfirmed in a few days, don't worry about it. Yoshi876 (talk)

I know where to get some volumes, and am willing to help create articles for the individual articles. --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. —Embyr 75  ^--Talk-- 16:44, 20 July 2015 (EDT)
