If It Takes a Lifetime - Brawl in the Family

[MrCoxinator]

I would absolutely love a poster divided into sections, each showing one of the ways mario died in this video.

[anonomous1324]

Good luck with the recovery, Matthew!

:)

[JnthnZ]

the end made me smile n.n

[anonomous1324]

Does anyone know where I can find that dire dire docks arrangement?

[RitaBlaze]

@anonomous1324 you must be a depressing person

[anonomous1324]

@RitaBlaze

Not really, I just like piano.

[FernandinhaFoxy]

So cute



[KirbxXD]

@Monjonbo Its not dire dire dock. Ive heard too many times.

[Romanlieutenant19]

I cried. Well done, sir.

[TriforceCollector]

@Monjonbo I thought that the music at 0:31 was part of the final boss music for partners in time

[GameWindar]

Peach is now 835 years old, from all of those years waiting.

[captainnikolai25]

I was expecting "Thank You Mario, but your Princess is in another castle!" at the end.

[MrOmegatronic]

If Mario ever deserved Peach, it was now. He's definitely earned her.

[CirxMaxer]

And then, chekpoints were born.

[5up3rp3rs0n]

@CirxMaxer checkpoints is just something that skips the waiting of the lifetime. but mario still needed to wait n years to go back to the check point

[Metalio564]

That was beautiful, *sob* please excuse me if I cry *sob*

[RySenkari]

Now imagine if this was Kaizo Mario Bros. and Mario fell into a hole at 1:10.

[18Krieger]

Amazing.

But your Princess is in another castle. :D

[MacaroniMan17]

I hope Waluigi wasn't in his life just yet, or any appearance of him would be increased sevenfold :s

[Alezicarus]

I get the chills everytime i watch this

[SonicKusanagi181]

This is really deep. It makes me feel joyous inside, that, even if Mario had to start all over again, he'd save Peach.

[TheInfernityZero]

He relives his life 7 times just to save Peach. Wow. Nintendo please make them get married soon.

[Kaizoman666]

Oh man, this is amazing. Also, I want that Dire Dire Docks arrangement.

[MrLineriderguy]

I cry every time ;_;

[nuajzuir]

Thank You Mario! But Our Princess Is In Another Castle!

[church7089]

Is there a full version of that beautiful, melancholy take on Dire Dire Docks?

[ZeldaLevel]

@church7089 I want it, too lol. It's awesome.

[Sephazon]

Sorry Mario, but your Toad is in another video.

[EskayCompositions]

Expecting a Waluigi joke?

Not gonna happen. This is too touching to be ruined by him.

[MattShr00m]

My childhood in 1:25... :D

[TheLetsPIayDuo]

Since this is the same timeline as "The Captive Princess", I vote a comic be made in Bowser's point of view.

[jetman4521]

Man, I never get tired of hearing it..., Specially the last tune, "Everyday" I think its called like, it fits perfectly.

[RitaBlaze]

U r the best!!!!

[SanctitysFlameMusic]

P.S. I'm jealous of your wicked piano skills.

[SanctitysFlameMusic]

Awww That was amazing! I hope you continue making comics forever. :D

[2001kirby]

Bowser looks so pathetic

[CloudflierEvolved]

Hey, her earings are missing...

Oh my gosh... this is Mario's side of The Captive Princess, isn't it? This is why it took Mario so long to rescue her.

[kmartsecurity21]

fantastic. ive since scene this 130 times.



[LadyGameLyric]

Brings out the true heart of the game.

[RobGonzalez99]

Reminds me of "Everyday" every time,,,

[TheGunslinger42]

Lyrics? Unneeded. 

[josephgabriel81]

Holy crap, that was amazing.

[lukeguy97]

Heh, here I thought it was gonna be another Kick The Dog moment.

[HyperBlob1]

what game is at 0:20

[LucasAFCosta]

@HyperBlob1 Mario vs Donkey Kong(GBA)

[HikariStarshine]

@LucasAFCosta That's Donkey Kong (GB), not Mario vs Donkey Kong.

[Jpicc89]

@HikariStarshine No, actually, it IS Mario Vs. Donkey Kong he is referring to, the person he is answering is asking what game is at 0:20.

[HikariStarshine]

@Jpicc89 And I was correcting him as the game is not Mario vs. Donkey Kong, as Monjonbo also pointed out.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong takes place long after the initial rescue of Peach depicted at the end of this video. Donkey Kong GB does not, and is the only game that fits into that timeline spot.

[PHESmovies]

The Koopa Troop dislikes the video

[PHESmovies]

I want Waluigi Jokes

[darkwulf23]

That's true love there.

[coolnamewithnonumber]

Love the music

[GlennMagusHarvey]

C'mon, people! Give some thumbs up to Monjonbo's comments listing the music sources!

[smbmadman1]

12 people are......Well, they're just heartless jerks.

[Ozyroth]

It made me cry...

[LadyMiaow]

Surprisingly cute, actually.

[TheSuperElectrode]

@LadyMiaow yeah, it was

[47drift]

This was surprisingly touching and beautiful. Well done!

@Monjonbo Where you put 'Donkey Kong (Gameboy)', that's actually the music that plays when you get a hammer.

[Rubberman202]

@Monjonbo I totally did NOT catch the Dire, Dire Docks theme.

[Orochi2345678]

What this piece of music called?

This video really takes me back. Feel like hooking up my old N64.

[scukmawea]

It may have took 7 lifetimes but it was worth it ... for Mario I would have done it for Samus, or Rosalina not Peach

[Joesolo13]

it should have ended with "Your princess is in another castle!"

[lampdevil]

Oh man I think I've got something in my eye....

The medley at the beginning is lovely. :)

[allyourbase2010]

can any one tell me the name of the song that starts at 0:42

[Showsni]

Mario was then killed by Birdo in SMB2.

[theGreenGoblin]

"Press B to start a new adventure!"

[Zecuencia]

BEAUTIFUL T.T

[JCCyC]

I thought Mario and the princess would get it on and she'd give birth to a little Mario who would start the cycle all over again.

[NorthernDruid]

Should have been toad at the end. just for the hillariousness.

[ctwatcher100]

I love the mix of music during the first run through! BitF FTW!

[EthePianoMan]

Is the music that starts at 0:32 the Final Battle music from Mario and Luigi: PiT?

[GoodMomo]

@EthePianoMan No, it's the water song from Mario 64.

[fyrenwater]

@EthePianoMan Sounds like a melancholy version of Dire, Dire Docks.

[EthePianoMan]

@fyrenwater I think you're right.

[ariel141]

Was I the only one that had goosebumps :3?

[Axapez]

All those years, and he didn't get a single one-up...

[BlackTaco6209]

D'aww. X3

This was so sweet. I think it was perfect the way it was. Having Toad pop up or having Mario die in the end would've ruined the deepness of the comic, in my opinion.

[CDbiggen]

I loved the use of the Mario 64 water theme around the 30 sec mark. ahhh nostalgia.

[cheesycoke]

Mostly due to the music, I could feel tears in my eyes...

[Alieneighty8]

i swear to god i hear the theme from fringe in there

[Marcklet]

Im showing this in my blog, expect 5 more views!

[kalasad]

I love the music so much. You have so many great talents man! :D

[jontyler87]

So cool! Very well done!! I loved it! :D

[IanMacCartney]

i was expect her to say she has aids

[scr515]

these guys need to do the entire series of Meta Knight and DeDeDe in that school, who here agrees?

[ViperKirby]

This is incredibly depressing if you take into account the concept of Game Over in this way, though.

No more lifetimes. It's a failure. Goodnight...

[Katarrow]

2,000th Like. That ending was probably the high point of my week. To see Mario go through all that & see him truly happy in the end. A well thought-out piece of art, man.

[sdmitch16]

Makes me feel bad about how I squandered lives.

[ArtisanGibby]

This is so adorable it hurts.

[AmittenMan]

HOW CAN PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS?!?! QQ

[MistaDeoxys]

0:32 Sims music?

[willpwn4cash]

@MistaDeoxys nope, that's from Mario 64 I think. Can't remember the exact song.

[teentitanadrian]

if you are who is waiting for me at the end, it doesn't matter how many lives I'll lost

[HadoukenDave]

This reminds me of BIT.TRIP RUNNER. If you played the game you'd know why.

[WYalmicW]

@HadoukenDave

Lol, cuz Music restarts everytime u die.

[awsmNG]

I loved this but... I was expecting peach to be a skeleton because she waited 7 LIFETIMES FOR MARIO

[allacat]

this is too precious!

[Pichu1232]

I was expecting his princess to be in another castle

[SpiritArsenal]

Simple, but VERY effective. =)

[angelcarmine29]

Epic!!

snif... snif...

epic...

[Nekoskull]

Aaaw his princess wasn't in another castle. =)

[CheesecakeMilitia]

This is evidence that the internet is a beautiful thing.

[TheSECcorp]

who else was expecting toad at the end

[CaptainXxDUCKxX]

@TheSECcorp

I hella was

[Kthunder278]

@TheSECcorp Expecting Toad?

TOO BAD. WALUIGI TIME.

[koreaboi22]

0:30 bit of super mario 64? dire dire dock. :O good times, good times

[Kystice]

Is it wrong to get emotional from this? Brawlinthefamily, you've done it again. Bravo and keep doing what your doing Matt and Chris.

[oldsnaaake]

Anybody else expect Toad at the ending?

[WHYInternetWHY]

What a nice ending. :)

[JhonnyL38]

Sheet music? D:

[jozet77]

aaaaa, the drama, THE DRAMAAA!!

[MJTroper]

Anyone noticed how Peach doesn't have her earrings on? Maybe this takes place in the same comic as #260, "The Captive Princess".

[yoshi127island]

@MJTroper They confirmed that it indeed does take place at the same time as the comic you mentioned.

[MJTroper]

@yoshi127island Oh, thanks.

[JShadowLurker]

"Your princess is in another castle."

[jordyvonhenderson]

Maybe not as brilliant as brawl in the family but

brawlcomic.smackjeeves

definitely holds me over till new bitf's.

[SuperMinifig]

I would have lol'ed if after the ending Mario fell in a lava pit. Anyways great Job guys!

[xXMagaruXx]

8 people lost their last live XD

[HuskyZealot]

Dear "Brawl in the Family" creator:

If I, Huskinator the 64th, die, then I "Lose a Life", have my mind go back thousands of years to my microsecond-old self, redo all I've done (only better), and eventually get back before the point where I die, and, with my new and improved self, solve the problem but better. P. S: How I found BitF was by accident: while looking through the Googled Bob-Omb pictures, I saw funny comic #64 (Bob-Omb), I clicked it and decided to read BitF from funny comic #1!

[Hysteria98]

One of the best Mario works ever made, it's in my top 3, and it's just astounding, even for something as simple a concept as this, just flawless.

Well done, bloody well done.

[fuzzysamantha]

from: your cat

To: my love...ker

[PaleoSteno]

I never liked and faved this? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

[MMDAMV]

Now, THAT made me smile!

[dcxia]

you should post some sheet music for this

im sure everybody would like that :D

[MAGOnimbus]

always reaches those who believe! :´)

[TheCameraBro]

8 people were hit in the face by a bullet bill

[petpettails123]

I show my friend this and I was like "This is so cute!" Then she was like "How is that cute?!" I MEANT THE ENDING!!

[moshimoshitosi]

Man...it would've sucked if she was in another castle.

[blacktail11snipa]

This video is so sad... But the end always makes me smile.

[petpettails123]

@blacktail11snipa Me too. : I .... :)



[RoDryBones]

wonderful!!

[degremont001]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan it's so beautiful :')

[ErichoTTA]

Wow, that was really heartwarming.

[TheTSkers]

Would've been better if it was Toad and he said "Sorry, our princess is in another castle!"

[sadib100]

@TheTSkers And then it shows Mario killing himself.

[cerise333]

@TheTSkers lol totally XD

[CyberBlastoise]

@TheTSkers Well, seeing that he had already met the Hammer Bro. He's already pretty familiar with the Toads showing up.

[Ecnassianer]

He smiles at the end because he knows that in order to keep the population stable, he and Peach have to have SEVEN kids to make up for all the Marios that died before him. ;) Gettin' more than cake tonight!

[sadib100]

Mario had seven chances to prevent Peach from even being kidnapped.

[poolshark1520]

What is the song played during Life #5 from :42-50? Someone said Philip Glass earlier.

[strictlybetter]

@poolshark1520 The song from :42 to :50 is from the classic youtube video "Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years". The song is "Everyday" by Carly Comando, presumably made for the video. Of all the music used, this piece got me the most sentimental due to its association of seeing years of life go by in seconds.

[TheDarktoonlink]

i love the jolly Rodger bay part of the song

[tfeth282]

If he has to be reborn every time, why not just PREVENT the whole kidnapping? I mean the video is great, but is that not the more difficult way?

[linzemol]

Why did I kinda expect it to end with

'Sorry mario, but your princess is in another castle'

Rage time?

[SuperTwoProductions]

MARIO! MARIO! OUR PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE!

[supersonic3464]

it ish cute :)

[frosecold]

So many memories

[bugsandfun]

0:32 - 0:42 is the underwater theme ("Dire, Dire Docks") from Super Mario 64, made into minor mode.

What is the theme played from 0:42 - 0:50? It sounds as if it was simply a musical bridge.

[SamuraiHageshiiTayo]

@bugsandfun It's a take on Carlie Comando's 'Everyday'

[mrrix32]

Was half expecting it to end in "The princess is in another castle" and Mario with a shocked face.

[Swiiden]

@mrrix32 haha me too!

[sporecreatorperson]

Who says video games aren't art?

[AlexanderT21]

@sporecreatorperson Losers thats who *highfive's sporecreatorperson* video games rock

[guerreroums]

At the end

"Oh princess here's your bill for the leak"-Mario

"What this is expensive"-Peach

"... yeah YOU have it rough"-Mario *mario stare*

[AlexanderT21]

@guerreroums That reminds me of one of the brawl in the family comics. Mario gets all 120 stars, which gives him access to the cannon that gets him to the roof. "Leak in the roof is fixed."

[guerreroums]

@AlexanderT21 That's where I got the idea
