The Super Mario Adventures comic collection is currently on sale for just $9.47, a significant drop from its original price of $17 at Amazon. This anthology includes 13 full-color comics that were originally featured in Nintendo Power during the early 1990s, captivating fans with vibrant illustrations and nostalgic storylines.
The collection presents a thrilling narrative where Bowser attempts to marry Princess Toadstool, with the aid of his seven children known as the Koopalings. This adds a classic twist to the longstanding rivalry between Mario and Bowser. The first 12 comics develop this storyline, while the 13th chapter, Mario vs. Wario, provides a fun side quest where Wario seeks revenge on Mario, retracing events from Super Mario Land 2.
These comics, penned by Kentaro Takehuma, were a delight to young readers, but they also resonate with adults who grew up with these stories. The comic’s illustrations by Charlie Nozawa add to its charm, making it a nostalgic journey back to the days of reading Nintendo Power.
For those interested, there are also manga adaptations of Super Mario and related franchises, enriching the universe of Mario further. One such collection is the Super Mario Manga Mania, which brings together various stories from the Mario-kun series into a single volume.
