At least when they're well done and/or cool like I think these are. ^_~

For those who have seen these already, feel free to ignore. If these have already been posted before, well...they could use a revival. ^_~

Mario Marimba! (The video quality's pretty bad, but it's still funny.)

The Decline of Video Gaming, part 1 (there are 3 parts currently). The other submissions by these guys are pretty good, too.

The Decline was very good!!  I remember there was a Mario saga a while ago that somebody made, which was also very very good.  It was nice and epic (full of epic music!), and all done in the style of the original SMB.  Does anyone know what I'm talking about?  It had a number of parts, but last I checked (a while ago) it wasn't finished, but perhaps it is now.  I'd certainly like to see it again if anyone knows where to find it.

You're thinking of the Mario Brothers series.
Man, those ruled:

Part I: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/107784

Part II: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/123826

Part III: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/132378

Part IV: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/164810

Apparently there were supposed to be 5 parts, but I never found the last one.

Yes!  That's it.  Those were awesome.  So the fifth part was never finished?  That's highly dissapointing...
