Super Mario Bros. Z is a Flash-animated fan crossover action-adventure web series created and produced by Mark Haynes.^[a] The original series aired on online entertainment website Newgrounds from April 22, 2006 to March 30, 2012, consisting of eight episodes and concluding with an incomplete ninth episode. Using video game sprites to illustrate, the series' story and style is inspired by Dragon Ball Z and features characters from the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog franchises. The series follows five protagonists, Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Shadow and Yoshi, as they race to find the seven Chaos Emeralds before Metallix (Turbo Mecha Sonic), a robot bent on becoming the most powerful being in the universe.

In September 2015, Haynes announced a reboot of the series to be in development, releasing the pilot in early 2016,^[1] as well as launching a Patreon to crowdfund the series which later received a DMCA takedown from Nintendo.^[2][3][4] After a four-year hiatus, Haynes citing personal issues, the reboot series resumed active development in February 2020, with Haynes premiering a 4K remaster of the original series to YouTube the following month. Both the original and rebooted series have been positively received, with the second episode of the reboot series receiving over 100,000 views an hour after being released.
