The Creator
Super Mario Bros. Z is created by Mark Haynes, who also goes under the username of Alvin-Earthworm. Mark is a freelance digital artist, ranging from pixel art to drawing, as well as a flash animator.

Mark began work on the original Super Mario Bros. Z from 2006-2009, and officially rebooted the series from the ground up starting in 2016. Due to a combination of fan pressure and stress from employment, Mark canceled the original series in 2011. In October of 2013, Mark released a remade scene of the first episode on his DeviantArt account, stating that he might remake the series. In late 2015, Mark announced he would be officially rebooting the series and released the first episode on January 5, 2016 to Patreon Patrons, and January 8, 2016 to the public.
