Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Systems of Entertainmentnote A Nintentdo Doujinshi is a Nintendo-themed Webcomic hosted on Deviant ART and created by Heartgear, who is also the creator of Material Girl.While sneaking through a laboratory full of Metroids, Samus Aran is ambushed by a Magikoopa, and her suit is turned into a blue princess dress. The ambush also transports her to a castle, where a horde of Koopas bind and gag her, and she is locked in a cage dangling over a pool of lava. The ruler of this castle, Lord Bowzer, assigns a single sentry Koopa to keep her company, but being the character that she is she escapes with ease... only to accidentally fall into the lava and go right back where she started from.When Bowzer disappears, and enemies in the castle stop talking, the sentry Koopa decides circumstances have gotten too strange and takes Samus somewhere else. All the while, questions begin to rise: where did Bowzer go? Where is Princess Peach during all of this? What would happen if Samus were to successfully escape?...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The comic began in a traditional art style, and moved to sprite-based flash animation in the middle of the first chapter. While the comic officially started in April 2012, a November 2010 comic called Mushroom Kingdom Bounty - Princess Aran (first designed as a commission for a deactivated user) was retroactively made the first installment. It is currently on hiatus with no ETA on its return yet. In the meantime, the creator has also made pieces of concept art (all of which may hint at a video game adaptation). You can start reading it here.

Darker and Edgier: "Bowzer" is a lot scarier and designed to look more threatening and intelligent, in contrast to his somewhat bumbling and hammy depiction in the Mario games. The Mario Bros too appear much tougher, according to concept art.

Screwed by the Lawyers
 Systems of Entertainment / Web Comic / int_20bbba83
comment
Screwed by the Lawyers: Heartgear abruptly stopped drawing the comic, shortly after asking about ways to avoid legal issues going forward. With Nintendo's then-recent habit of shutting down slavishly done and faithful renditions of their work due to how close they were to Nintendo's own work... Systems Of Entertainment never got past the first arc, and was lucky to not be taken down.

Palette Swap: Samus' new princess outfit strongly resembles a blue version of Princess Peach's, with a pink chest jewel and matching earrings. A piece of concept art shows Peach in what resembles a pink version of Samus' Zero Suit.

comment
Author Appeal: Heartgear lists the SNES as her favorite gaming platform on her profile, and it shows here. Sprites are taken from Super Mario World and Super Mario RPG note although one comic has an interpretation of a sprite from Paper Mario 64, and the design of Bowzer's castle is taken from Super Mario All-Stars, right down to the green grass on the floor of Samus' cage. The lab Samus is exploring in the first comic looks like the Ceres Space Colony from Super Metroid. One comic features a piece of background music from Final Fantasy VI. Samus is also tied up for most of the comic. The author is a BDSM practitioner.

Oh, Crap!: See page image. The Sentry Koopa has another one when he gets impatient while waiting for Samus' next escape attempt. The Sentry Koopa completely loses it when NO-ONE comes to either rescue Samus or relieve him of his duties, and there's signs that the normal pattern of his life has fallen to pieces.

Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: It's zigzagged. Samus beats up a lot of koopas despite the limitations of her new princess dress. Then she trips in the high heels. She also notes that the evening gloves limit he dexterity. She tries removing them, is foiled by the "Third Law" and interprets that she has no choice.

Writing Around Trademarks: Supposedly the reason no one except Lord "Bowzer" is addressed by a proper name. This deviation of Heartgear's discusses these artistic decisions, and how she means to avoid infringing on Nintendo's while still creating a personalized original work. The working subtitle, "A Nintentdo Doujinshi", might be an example if it isn't a typo.
