Of Mice and Plumbers: A Nintendo-Disney Timeline

Nintendo and Disney in 1993
Starting off, the Super Mario Adventures anime is made by Toei Animation. Plus, DiC and Saban get it in a deal along with Sailor Moon and Slam Dunk and a few anime co-productions.

Nintendo released some games at the time, such as Mickey Mania, Aladdin, Plok!, Popopo the Brave Little Starling: Nightmare in Dream Land (known as Kirby’s Adventure IOTL), Popopo the Brave Little Starling Pinball (known as Kirby’s Pinball Land IOTL), the first game for the Super 32 Tron (TTL’s Star Fox), Goofy on the Hunt (TTL’s Yoshi’s Safari), Alcahest, Earthbound (a SNES CD port of Mother on the Famicom), Pete Land: Mickey Mouse Adventure 3 (TTL’s Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3), Peter Pan (a Zelda-like game), and Bowser: The Koopa Warrior 2: Koopaling Kaos. Now, let’s get to the details.

In this sequel to Bowser: The Koopa Warrior, it’s about Bowser teaming up with the Koopalings, seven Koopa youngsters that are quite mischievous and all that. The Koopalings in this game can be summoned by finding a Koopa Wand, and finding it can summon a certain Koopaling to do away with a number of enemies, but however, it can only do some damage to a boss.

The story for this game shows Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Bruiser noticed a strange world that is located next to the Koopa Kitadel, and that world is a strange amalgamation of many biomes of the world. They’ll have to uncover the secret of the strange world while teaming up with the Koopalings (and also finding the mystery of the Koopalings’ parents).

The gameplay is the same as the previous one, except with the addition of the Koopalings. Plus, each one of the seven Koopalings can be found in seven of the eight sections of the strange world. The sections of the strange world are a grassland, desert, tropical coast, woodland, cloudy sky, tundra, volcano, and a gigantic tower. There’s more to this game, but these are the details of the game that are explained.

Plus, this plays like Secret of Mana from OTL, so there’s that. A third game for the series is on the works, BTW.

Disney bought Valiant Comics at some point, thus making it part of the Disney Comics brand. Now, as for the comics? Well, who knows what they are.

Nintendo announces that Fire Emblem will be brought to the states outside of Japan next year, and not only that, Nintendo and Rare announce their next game, The Dreamers, which will be one of the first home console games to feature pre-rendered graphics, achieved through a compression technique that converted 3D models into SNES sprites with little loss of detail.

the first minute is the SNES version, Rare truly pushed the SNES beyond his limits.
 
Progress in 1993 Right Now
An affiliation change had occurred on January 1, 1993. WMAR goes back to CBS, while WBAL goes to ABC, and WJZ to NBC. It was an unexpected change, but a welcome one at that. Fox and Viacom merged together, forming FoxViacom, and thus, leading to some Nickelodeon movies to be under the 20th Century Fox brand. Also, Paramount Pictures was sold to Jeffrey A. Montgomery, and this can possibly lead to some things at the moment. Outbidding Pearson, Carlton Communications had bought out Thames and made it London's production arm, Citicasters decided to sell off its television stations to post-Newsweek Stations, outbidding New World Communications, Meredith Corporation is selling all television stations to New Word Communications for over $400 million, and WMS Industries made a deal to purchase video game publisher Acclaim Entertainment for $1.1 billion, impressed by the highest video game sales of Mortal Kombat.

Also, despite being reluctant to release The Nightmare Before Christmas under the Disney brand, Walt Disney released this movie made by Tim Burton to theaters, thus making it part of the Disney Renaissance ITTL. River Phoenix has been recovered from acute combined drug intoxication, and as for Brandon Lee? He has been recovered by firearm during the set of The Crow. Oh yeah, it had to happen. Ok, now let’s see how Sega’s doing.

Sega released Twin Stars in Dream Land 2: Return to Dream Land (a sequel to Twin Stars in Dream Land, and also a mix between OTL’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles) on the Sega CD, Ristar’s Starry Pinball (TTL’s version of Sonic Spinball), and even a Ristar TV show known as Ristar: The Animated Series, which was made in conjunction with DiC and Paramount. Sega will be releasing Ristar 3: Rise of the Death Egg on the Sega CD next year, by the way, as they are making a few adjustments to the game.

CGI was on the rise, and while Nintendo and Rare are working on The Dreamers, Sony is experimenting with how CGI works courtesy of Silicon Graphics, and as for Disney? Well, on November 19, 1993, well, they had a fallout with Pixar during the production of an upcoming movie that uses CGI, and it’s called Toy Story. After the fallout, Pixar leaves Disney behind to work with Warner Bros., and what could possibly go wrong?

Oh! And speaking of CGI, Big Idea Productions released the first episode of a CG-animated direct-to-video show known as VeggieTales. The episode in question? Where’s God When I’m S-Scared?.

Nice, so what's gonna happen to Fox Kids and Nickelodeon?

Cool..........

But what happens now that Pixar's with WB?
 
Mhm.
Nice, so what's gonna happen to Fox Kids and Nickelodeon?
Well, maybe they could combine into one channel, perhaps?
Thanks for that.
Yeah.
Nice. How does Ristar: TAS do in the ratings?
Ristar: TAS does pretty good in the ratings, FYI.
Cool..........

But what happens now that Pixar's with WB?
Hmm…good question. Let’s find out.
 
The 1993-to-1994 Transition
And now, a transition between 1993 and 1994.

In 1993, Warner Home Video made a deal with Robert D. Cardona to release TUGS to the United States, albeit being released on home video. Of course, they had to release the thirteen episodes on VHS by this: Two episodes per VHS (or in the case of the last few episodes, three episodes on one VHS). Also, they even had the cultural differences and all that, and the tagline for that? “It has to be seen to be believed.”

The release of TUGS in the United States is a moderate success, with the sales being okay. That’s all there is to it. Also, since Sonic the Hedgehog wasn’t a thing ITTL, the Bubsy Bobcat games won’t be a thing ITTL. Plus, American Laser Games entered the SNES-CD market with the release of Mad Dog McCree in 1993.

And now, we’re in 1994. It is time for a big anime boom! This led to most of the channels (half of them being youth channels) getting into the anime business, and they were making dubs of anime (like Dragon Ball Z), but The PolyGram Channel (a rebranding of The Family Channel when PolyGram took over IFE in 1997) got into the anime game later on.

Surely enough, some of the anime that got dubbed outside of Japan had to have specific changes to fit the standards. For example, the English dub of Sailor Moon has some changes to some LGBT moments being either removed or altered (for example, the relationship between Sailors Uranus and Neptune are changed from lesbians to just friends). So yeah, that’s what has happened.

Disney in 1994
Disney was doing fine in 1994, as they released The Lion King this year, and it was a major success. They have more plans for their movies and due to their fallout with Pixar, they need to find another CGI company to help collaborate with a movie they will work on.

Plus, Disney released The Return of Jafar, which begins the Aladdin television series. Plus, Gargoyles, a new television series, was released this year, and it’s darker in tone compared to other Disney shows, but it’s a big hit.

Plus, Disney has some video games released that year, and they include Goofy’s Wacky Racing (TTL’s Stunt Race FX), The Jungle Book, The Great Circus Mystery starring Mickey and Minnie, Hocus Pocus (TTL’s Scooby Doo Mystery (the SNES version, to be specific, although the SNES version of Scooby Doo Mystery ITTL is a port of the Sega Genesis version, albeit with two more scenarios), Bonkers, and Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse (though the difference is that considering Mickey Mouse’s history of games ITTL, there’s some changes to it, one of them’s completely different levels, and also the fact it’ll only be on Nintendo consoles ITTL).

That’s what Disney is doing in 1994 ITTL, and now we take a look at what Nintendo is doing that year.
 
Might I suggest that Pixar becomes a subsidiary of dreamworks animation and having John Lasseter and Jeffrey Katzenberg remain friends and have Lasseter be less of a creep

Was Lasseter a creep? I thought he was abusive? Can someone tell me about Lasseter infamy?
