I heard of it in Super Smash Bros Brawl, and I can't seem to find any info on it. If someone would kindly explain what it it is, I would greatly appreciate it.

Above all, always remember to stay positive.

A quick Google search tells me it's the name of a song from a Japan-only game called Chousouju Mecha MG.

Marionation Gears are Giant Robots piloted in a Nintendo game for the DS. It is likely one of those things that sounds better in Japanese.

If Gerry Anderson taught me anything, it's that "marionation" is something involving marionettes.

Basically, in the setting, it was puppetry that gave rise to the giant robot - hence the title.

Giant robots are controlled using simulated controls on the touchscreen - joysticks, steering wheels, etc.. I once took a crack at fan translating it, but I haven't gotten far - it actually stores a mini-font in each script file, containing only the characters that script uses.

It actually sounds pretty fun. Googled it and saw some screenshots, and it looks quite nice. when was it released?
