''Super Mario Adventures'' is a serialized comic which ran in ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine from January to December of 1992. The story (written by Kentaro Takekuma) features most of the enemies and characters of ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'', but quickly spirals into an original, quite whimsical storyline. The comic itself was illustrated by Charlie Nozawa. Despite the involvement of [[Japan~~|Japanese~~]] talent, it was produced for a North American audience, and is not considered to be a [[Manga]].

It is widely considered the best ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' comic or manga ever created, and unlike in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' or ''[[The Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'', the art is mostly [[Off-Model|On Model]]. It is also notable for debuting plot elements that would later arise in future Mario games; for instance, traits such as Luigi's cowardliness and [[Luigi's Mansion|fear of ghosts]], Bowser's [[Super Paper Mario|amorous feelings towards Peach]], and [[Super Princess Peach|Peach's role reversal with Mario]] (in which she storms Wendy O. Koopa's castle to rescue him).

When the comic originally ran, it ran alongside another Manga-~~esue~~ serial based on ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the ~~Past|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He~~ Past]]''. Both serials were later reprinted in [[Graphic Novel]] format to celebrate the magazine's fiftieth issue. The ''Super Mario Adventures'' trade paperback was also bundled with the first ''Mario Vs Wario'' comic that ''Nintendo Power'' had published back in '93.
