Volumes 43

The Super Mario manga by Kazuki Motoyama, also known as KC Mario, was serialized by Kodansha in their manga anthology Comic BomBom from December 1988 through September 1998, with side chapters published in the sister publication Deluxe BomBom, spanning a total of 183 stories. The manga features original characters, the use of self-referential humor, and occasional references to Japanese pop culture. The manga was never published under a single consistent title, instead changing its title to tie in with the latest Super Mario game being adapted at the time, starting from Super Mario Bros. 3 all the way up to Super Mario 64, with the final two collected volumes in this series tying into Yoshi's Story. The manga ceased publication due to Kodansha losing the Super Mario license and has never been reprinted since then.

A total of 43 collected volumes, or tankōbon, were published of this series.[1] The first volume, based on Super Mario Bros. 3, was published as a manga strategy guide as part of Kodansha's Family Computer Hisshō Dōjō series under the "Comic BomBom Special" imprint. From Super Mario Land and onward, the volumes were published as regular manga collections under the "KC Deluxe" imprint. The first few pages of each volume contain a mini strategy guide featuring commentary on levels from the games the stories are based on. While the volumes contain most of the mainline chapters and side chapters, there were five chapters, including the finale, that were not featured in any of the collections.

There were also two collections of 4-koma comic strips released under this series, with the strips themselves being drawn by various artists in addition to Motoyama.

Notes

  • This is one of few instances of Mario media where a main character dies. In this case, the final volume shows that Princess Daisy sacrifices herself to save the people of Sarasaland from a fatal disease. Afterwards, multiple Pikmin-esque reincarnations of Daisy appear in one of the final pages.
  • In 2019, Super Mario author Kazuki Motoyama started publishing a series of doujin books titled Kinoppe-chan Forever (キノッペちゃんForever), starring the manga's original character Kinoppe. Due to their self-published nature, these are not considered official Super Mario material.
  • According to the author's note in the 2nd installment of Kinoppe-chan Forever, a former editor of Kazuki Motoyama had pitched him a spin-off manga starring Kinoppe. These plans were halted when Nintendo unexpectedly pulled ComicBonBon's Super Mario manga license in 1997.
