http://www.cracked.com/article_2034...who-got-insane-reboots-in-foreign-comics.html

If you ever read Nintendo Power magazine in the '90s, you probably remember that they used to have little comics starring Mario and other Nintendo characters going on adventures that usually involved whatever new peripheral the company put out that month. Well, it turns out that the German version of the magazine made its own comics, and they were a little ... different.

[Terrell]

Holy wall of text!
Mind you, it probably needs all that text to explain this crazy-ass shit.

 

[PixyJunket]

Supper Mario Broth occasionally posts panels from this in English.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

No, it was the original conspiracy for 9/11.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

 

[DonMigs85]

Were these strips drawn by actual German artists?

 

[nailbombxx]

"They're all there. Jason, Chuckie, Leatherface and their numerous friends of the realm of mummies, zombies and skeletons. Wario and his diabolical buddy Abigor are sitting on a table with a wide grin. They're hatching out a devilish plan..."

It's really great. The artwork is pretty spot on for the era, as well. Good stuff.

 

[Salsa]

hell yeah motherfucker

too good

 

[BocoDragon]

What's weird is that the American Valiant comic also featured a storyline where Tatanga from Super Mario Land took over the World Trade Center.... lots of unintentional 9/11 preludes in Mario comics.

Rummelplatzquatsch (English translation: Fairground Rubbish) is the name of a 6-page comic published in the 3/1998 issue of the German Club Nintendo magazine. It was made to promote the Game Boy Camera.

Mario is sceptical at first, and when the Camera suddenly shows a toilet brush, he is angry and leaves the fortune-teller's tent, trying to prove that the Camera has not told the truth. However, when Mario is looking around, a toilet brush comes right out of the top of the tent and is dashed into the plumber's face.

Arriving at the tent, he realizes that it was Luigi who sold the Camera to him. Luigi explains that it is just a normal Game Boy Camera that is capable of a lot of things, but not of foreseeing the future. Attempting to prove his point, he turns on the device which depicts Poochy now. In this moment, a pack of dogs enters the tent, all urinating at Luigi. The brothers look at each other and leave the tent terrified, believing that Satan is responsible for this. Indeed, when they drop the Camera, Satan's hand grabs it, and the reader learns that this was the only copy that has fallen into the devil's hands.

why would you promote a product like this

In his second fight, Mario's opponent is Chun-Li, who he immediately falls in love with. Expecting a "victory kiss", he is surprised at her starting to kick him. This gives Mario the idea to tickle her feet with a feather. Unable to fight, Chun-Li loses this match.

what the fuck

 

[nampad]

Notice Jason and Chucky in the background

They are even mentioned by name in the comic strip. Kids may have known them but still their movies weren't for the same demographics. Kinda strange to have them there.

Where do you guys get the larger pictures from?

 

[DonMigs85]

Are German kids normally so obsessed with Satan and the occult?

 

[BocoDragon]

Now is ze time on Mario vhen we dance.

 

[Salsa]

fox's face on the second panel is perfect

 

[Teknoman]

So...Peach just put on a Zora mask?

 

[RagnarokX]

Notice Jason and Chucky in the background

Notice the grave they get the Necronomicon from.

 

[Antiwhippy]

why would you promote a product like this

Hey, it made me want to get the game boy camera, which is a minor miracle.

 

[Syril]

Where are you finding these translated versions?
