You're seeing that right. The reboot series of SMBZ has officially started today! It's also being made by Alvin-Earthworm, the original creator, as well.
I kinda like that he changed the Mario Kart Tournament to a Smash Tournament. That was we get to see some action between the Mario Bros. and the Wario Bros. early on in the series. Also that fight was pure hilarity as well.
The inital Bowser fight was great as well but it lost a bit of the power and pace it had in the original episodes 1 & 2 (or maybe thats just me).
I also like how Rawk Hawk is one of the commentators.
Then comes the "Fire" Part. Holy shit, gotta love that music, and a pretty epic sequence at that.
Metal Bowser was intense again and I really liked that one scene where Luigi stepped up against Bowser when he was about to kill Mario.
Overall I think this Episode was executed really well, although I used to enjoy the fight scenes more for some reason. Maybe we'll get to that once the Reboot reaches Original Episodes 5 & 6 (Brawl on a vanishing island).
