HAHA! I have you all duped. I'm willing to bet most of you are wondering "WHERE THE FUCK IS EPISODE 3?!?!?!" To be honest, I was not pleased with the original MLMQ because of an overwhelming amount of plot holes and strange plot flow despite the intense flamewar and raging hardcore SMBZ fans.
However, there was a dilemma while in production of episode 3. During the summer of 2010 as I worked on this, I spent hours and hours redoing the same scenes over and over because I was never left satisfied with any of them despite being close to finishing the episode. I hope you don't mind hot peppers because I craved for a "redo" or a "new beginning" after thinking of things that would spice up the original plot and could not resist the temptation of working on a "different" series at that time. So, what did I end up doing you ask? I jumped back and forth between working on THIS and the ORIGINAL episode 3 and finally decided to become dedicated to THIS instead.
Once again, I'm sorry not just to those who probably "hate" me for "canceling" MLMQ and are probably calling me names like a "quiter" or whatever, but also to those who have been supporting me all along.
Netherless, this will be my last project on count of my life. I promise I will not start over.

As for the video itself, the title is subject to change. I haven't decided yet. Basically, this series has the same CORE plot that from MLMQ, but like I said before, I added elements that would spice it up. As you can tell, I added new characters and scenery and whatnot for your noggins to digest. I will say once more for those who do not have wit, but THE PLOT IS INSPIRED BY THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA'S MASK. Comprende?
Other random things I want to say is that I suppose one can say I changed in style of animating. I'm avoiding using the overly overused DBZ sound effects such as the ones that sound like "CHIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" and "PESHUOSHEO!!!" and "CHEUUUSHEEEE!" and using other sound effects from a variety of games and sources. In addition to sounds, I'm avoiding lasers and any of that crap unless where acceptable that would make it appear more like DBZ/SMBZ (OMG I PUT SMBZ SECOND D:) and aim for a more traditional Mario & Luigi videogame series feeling.
Next, the battle system that will be used is one similar to the one used from the original Mario & Luigi: Plan X series which includes the "Damage Stars". In addition, I WILL add Heart Points (HP) and a couple of battle stats used in the Mario and Luigi videogame series such as Attack (Atk) and Defense (Def). However, I have not decided if I will make it where the characters level up throughout the series to parallel a game or make the stats based on a scale from 1-5. (Ex. Mario's Attack is 4 Stars compared to Luigi's Attack of 3 Stars). Perhaps, YOU, the viewers, can vote. Of course, it will be my choice at the end. Oh, and once more, I will be returning to the traditional speech bubbles for dialogue.
Finally, I haven't decided if I should add a wide screen effect to my animations...Hmm...
Enjoy. Don't hate on this too much, trust me.

I'd say to use the _/5 stars system
It would make it a bit more unique and more interesting to watch
