Super Mario Adventures
Super Mario Adventures is an anthology of comics that ran in "Nintendo Power" throughout 1992, featuring the characters from Nintendo's "Mario" series and based loosely on "Super Mario World". In 1993, the series was also serialized in "CoroCoro Comic" in Japanese, under the title . Charlie Nozawa, the artist who created the comics, is also known by the pen name Tamakichi Sakura. Kentaro Takekuma was responsible for the story, which follows Mario and Luigi as they attempt to rescue Princess Toadstool after she is kidnapped by Bowser with intent to marry her.

It marks the second time the Mario universe is developed into a livable place, as the comic was made after Nintendo Comic Systems and before "Super Mario RPG". The only other pre-story Mario is within the animated and live action series relating to Donkey Kong. It is notable for its use of the many gameplay devices in the Mario series as elements of everyday life. For example, Mario plays a psychologist and treats the social anxiety of a Boo (a ghost enemy in the video game series that covers its face whenever the player is facing it).

When the comic originally ran, it ran alongside a just-as-long serial based on "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past". Both serials were later reprinted in separate trade paperbacks published at the time of the magazine's fiftieth issue.

On August 4, 2016, Nintendo announced that "Super Mario Adventures" as well as the said adaptation of "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" was getting a reprint, to be handled by publisher VIZ Media.
