History Trivia / SuperMarioBrosZ

* IKnewIt:
** One of the most popular theories for how Mario would be saved from Basillix involved Luigi using the power of his Tanooki suit to recover from Basillix's [[TakenForGranite stone gaze]]. The first scene for the unfinished Episode 9 reveals that this is indeed what was going to happen.
** Portions of the fandom expected Alvin to cancel the original series due to how long he was taking with each episode after 6, especially when he kept insisting that he wanted to do 3 sagas in 15-episode installments. Much to their dismay, he did.

** Sonic's voice lines are predominantly recycled from Ryan Drummond's performance of the character, but there are some pitched-up voice lines of Creator/SeanSchemmel's Goku mixed in there too.

* MemeAcknowledgement: Many years after Mecha Sonic declaring "I'LL CRUSH YOU!" became memetic, [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW the IDW Sonic comics]] had him say the line in ''Scrapnik Island''. The writer [[https://twitter.com/Danny8bit/status/1615370452565889024 all but affirmed]] it to be this.

* OldShame: Alvin really isn’t proud of Episode 7 from the original run. He also now regrets certain art direction decisions. These regrets include using Mecha Sonic's design from VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles, believing it to be outdated-looking and inaccurate to the game, and basing the Axem Rangers X off of various ''Franchise/MegaMan'' characters. He has planned to change both of these things in the reboot.

** Wario and Waluigi have a case of this in Episode 2 of the Reboot. Waluigi's "Bombs Away" line was provided by AsylusGoji91, and the Wario Bros. "Blasting Off Again" line was voiced by Chris Niosi.

** The reboot suffered from this as well. Episode 1 was released in January 2016, and Episode 2 didn't see release until May 2021, nearly five and a half years later. There’s also been a year long gap between episodes 2 and 3, with no word on when 3 will release.

** Haynes gave fans the go-ahead to develop a [[MultiAnimatorProject reanimated collab]] based on [[https://youtu.be/gHcGj30SYz4 episode 6]] of the original series. A collaboration based on episode 8 oo the original series is currently in the works.

** This happened a couple of times in the original run, due to fans pressuring him about the release date of the next episode. One of his breakdowns led to him temporarily cancelling the series before making an apology and uncanceling it the next day.

* FollowTheLeader: The series was so inspirational that it led to many creators making similar Mario/Sonic x DBZ series based on Alvin's style. Some of the more notable ones are ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosHeroesOfTheStars'', ''Worlds in Danger'', and ''Super Mario Bros Super'' (later changed to ''Super Mario Bros GT'').

** The [[https://twitter.com/AlvinSmbz/status/1400070435417509890 original plan]] for the Reboot's Yoshi fight was to use the song "Circuitry" by Music/FrontLineAssembly (the song that was ripped off by the soundtrack of ''VideoGame/BlastCorps'', which was then used for the original series version of the fight), before Alvin settled on [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct "Type-03, Fulgore's theme]].

** The series was inspired by the plethora of Newgrounds flash animations back in the early 2000's, namely ''WebAnimation/RiseOfTheMushroomKingdom'', ''WebAnimation/SonicsQuestForPower'', and ''Power Star''. Since there were a lot of animations that had Mario and Sonic fight each other, Alvin decided to make a series where the two were allies.

** Sonic's voice lines are predominantly recycled from Ryan Drummond's performance of the character, but there are some pitched-up [[Creator/SeanSchemmel Goku]] voice lines mixed in there too.
