Replies to questions relating to SMBZ follow:
Round 1:
Q: Will we see any sign of Silver in SMBZ?
A: I did have plans of adding him, but I decided not to in the end. His role in the 3rd Saga story will be replaced by that of Princess Rosalina.
Q: What is Shadow's main motivation in the series? Is he trying to kill Mecha Sonic in order to survive? Or does he secretly want revenge for Mecha killing the inhabitants of Mobius?
A: He is actually doing it to avenge the deaths of his friends Rouge and Omega.
Q: Will love be involved at any time in the series?
A: I doubt it, since it would be a little out of character for a Mario flash. Sure, Peach will kiss Mario on the cheek like in the games, but there will be no passion.
Round 2:
Q: Since we know that Smithy is the next big villain, will we see any Super Mario RPG characters? (Mallow, Geno, Booster, etc.)
A: Mallow and Geno will definately be in there. I'm undecided on any others.
Q: Will have Bowser team up with the Mario team (i know than maybe the princess yes) like super Mario rpg on the Smithy saga?
A: Bowser won't be teaming up with the heroes at any time in the series.
Q: Something that has been in my mind for a whille: Will you use any other PM characters other than the Koopa Bros,Kammy,or Star Spirits?
A: I have plans of adding Kolorado and the Master along with his students, Chan and Lee. But other than that, I'm undecided.
Round 3:
Q: have you ever thought of stoping smbz all together?
A: I'm trying to avoid stopping SMBZ altogether since I would like to make it my first completed fan project. It all depends on what goes on during my life away from the internet.
Q: Neros made some awesome sprites for the PM2 party members.Do you think you can use them?
A: I don't plan on adding the party members of any Paper Mario game since it will clutter up the hero roster, hence why all of Sonic's friends were written out of the story. Perhaps they will make brief cameo appearances but I don't intend on putting them into the story.
Q: You said Sonic characters would ruin your plan. Although you won't reveal this plan, can you give us a slight slight slight hint?
A: Not quite sure what "plan" you are referring to. I only took out the other Sonic characters so that I could focus more on the four main heroes rather than cluttering up the story with too many useless characters. Just like in DBZ. Characters like Yamcha and Tien became less important in later episodes of the series.
Round 4:
Q: Hey Alvin. The Koopa Kids have few sprites,(other than Morton) will they be fighting?
A: I recently acquired some sprites of them ripped from Super Princess Peach which has quite a good assortment of fighting poses. But, I doubt they will be fighting much since I want to focus more on the battles involving Mecha Mario. Also just wanted to let you all know that I have decided to change the name back to Mecha Mario.
Q: Also, Petey and King Boo won't show up, will they?
A: King Boo was gonna appear in a storyline where Luigi had to save the other heroes and liberate a Chaos Emerald from the haunted mansion, but it has long been scrapped, like the Donkey Kong island story. As for Petey Piranha, he may make some cameo appearances, but nothing story related.
Q: Out of curiosity, will the group ever visit the burned Morbius, or will it just appear in flashbacks?
A: Only flashbacks. Mobius won't play any roles in the series.
Round 5:
Q: Will collecting the 7 Chaos Emeralds collecting become a recurring role as well in Seasons 2 & 3?
A: The Chaos Emeralds will only appear in the first saga.
Q: Another question. On your SMBZ Intro, you had the seven Star Spirits power up the heroes to their super forms. What made you use the seven Star Spirits and not the seven Crystal Stars? To me, the seven Crystal Stars would make more sense since they're powerful jewels just like the Chaos Emeralds, which would kind of make them like Chaos Emeralds of the Mushroom Kingdom, if you get what I'm saying...
A: To clear up any debates, the Crystal stars aren't that powerful. They were only used to seal up the Shadow Queen and they served as the keys to her tomb. The seven star spirits however have access to the star rod which has the ability to grant wishes. I think you can figure out the logic behind my choice from that.
Q: Will the Wario Bros ever help the heroes instead of sitting on the side lines?
A: Probably, but it'll only be for their own personal gain. They are completely neutral in the series, only supporting themselves rather than the heroes or villains. Most likely they will take one side until the other can offer them a better deal.
Round 6:
Q: I'm not sure if this has been covered. But, while we know Silver won't be appearing, Will Blaze appear?
A: I doubt it. I'm trying not to add any more Sonic characters to the story.
Q: Why haven't you been motivated to do smbz? What would make you get back into it?
A: ...
Q: Will the character Mr.L (Luigi) Be in the series?
A: Yes he will. He'll be a lot like Luigi's version of Great Saiyaman.
Round 7:
Q: If another SMBZ movie were made (like those Dragon Ball Z movies), what villains would you use as the main ones?
A: I've thought up an idea for a second SMBZ movie that will take place between the second and third seasons. I will not reveal this villain's identity just yet.
Q: To clear up any rumors, is it true that you stopped making SMBZ?
A: NO. I just haven't been bothered to work on it.
Q: I'm curious though, what made you decide to kill off most of the Sonic characters? also, aside from Peach and later on Rosalina (I think he confirmed that she would be in the series at some point or other) will there be more female character in the series and if so will they play a more dominate role then they have thus far?
A: As I have mentioned many times before, I killed them off so that I could reduce the amount of hero characters in the main story. As for female characters, I dunno. It depends on how many Nintendo have made.
Round 8:
Q: Will Count Bleck appear?
A: Nope.
Q: If there is going to be a movie then, how does chaos get to mario's world?
A: That will be revealed at the appropriate time.
Q: Will Bowser become Rookie along with Popple appearing?
A: Nope.
