SMG4 (formerly SuperMarioGlitchy4's Super Mario 64 Bloopers), also known as SuperMarioGlitchy4, is an Australian adult animated CGI parody machinima web series created by Luke Lerdwichagul and produced by Australian animation studio Glitch Productions. The YouTube channel for the series was created in 2009, and it officially debuted on 7 May 2011, as Super Mario 64 Bloopers, then was renamed to SMG4 on 25 February 2017. The series initially started as a parody of the 1996 Nintendo video game Super Mario 64, originally using a hacked ROM of Super Mario 64 to animate the series, though Garry's Mod is also used for animating later seasons.

The series gained a cult following due to its abundance of memes parodies and black comedy, one akins to that of South Park. The series gave way to two spin-offs, Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise.

Premise

SMG4 follows the surreal misadventures of the eponymous SMG4, a blue-and-white meme-obsessed Mario recolour; and a stupid spaghetti-crazed version of Mario, often accompanied by their many friends. The series is mainly well-known for its satirical take on current internet trends, sometimes used as a part of its narrative, as well as its multiple running gags that make use of various preexisting voice clips and meme sound bites, and subtle instances of self-deprecation on the series' behalf.

Story arcs

While SMG4 is primarily a weekly comedic web series, it has delved deeper into its own lore through its yearly story arcs, with each arc having multiple interconnected episodes that were darker and serious than most of the series in general. As of late, there are five story arcs.

• The Waluigi Arc (28 July 2018 - 6 October 2018): When Waluigi is prevented from joining the Super Smash Bros. roster for too long, he unlocks a sinister power known as "The Power of Rejection", which he then unleashed upon the world with catastrophic consequences. With the help of an unlikely ally, SMG4 and his friends might be the only ones standing between Waluigi's quest for vengeance and total world domination. This story arc is notable for the introduction of Tari, who was an alternate version of Meta Runner's similarly-named protagonist.
• The Rapper Bob Arc (3 November 2018 - 22 December 2018): When Bob started his rapping career, his endless pursuit for fame and attention ended up pitting him against his own friends after Boopkins accidentally ruined his first rap concert, now determined to rebuild his rapping career from scratch and destroying his "friends"' reputation in the process.
• The Anime Arc (16 March 2019 - 8 June 2019): What started as a little challenge involving anime turns into an all-out war. When Princess Peach announced the passing of the "Anime Prohibition Act", which bans any and all forms of anime media, Mario and his allies race to undo the law, while Meggy was in the middle of preparation for the upcoming Splatfest. Being the longest story arc to date, divided into two parts across 12 episodes, the longest out of any arc, alongside the Genesis Arc. It was notable for being the darkest story arc in the series by introducing the series' perma-death aspect with the death of a prominent character, Desti. This was also notable for turning Meggy from an Inkling into a human, as well as the introduction of Axol.
• The YouTube Arc (20 June 2020 - 22 August 2020): After SMG4 destroys his production studio under the assumption of being a part of his evil plans, SMG3 snapped and round up his own gang in his latest plan: erasing SMG4 and his friends from existence with a universal remote control owned by YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. This prompting SMG4 and the gang in a race against time to stop this sinister plan from coming to fruition. The story arc is notable for the introduction of the Anti-Cast (JubJub Boopkins, Rob, Melony, Whimpu, an SMG4 version of Belle Fontiere (from Meta Runner), and the Luigi Doll), as well as completing Meggy's transition from Inkling to human by gaining a more human voice.
• Genesis Arc (20 March 2021 - 18 September 2021): During a roundup sharing of each other's childhood stories, SMG4's friends discovered that SMG4 doesn't have one himself, one of which he, alongside SMG3, later learned to have ties with a prophecy regarding a sinister force threatens to destroy the SMG4 universe, named SMG0. It is also the longest story arc, alongside The Anime Arc, at 12 episodes each. This story arc brought a lot of changes to the series' status quo, such as the explanation of the series' origins and its ties to the overall plot of the arc, as well as the death of a major character and its resulting ramifications to the rest of the series. In the SMG4 movie "Revelations" it is revealed that SMG0 was actually made of two separate entities and both were being manipulated.

War of the Fat Italians and SSENMODNAR

Aside from SMG4's yearly story arcs, the series also has War of the Fat Italians, often shortened as WOTFI, an annual video series which features SMG4 and Mario competing in a number of challenges. From "WOTFI 2014" onwards, the challenges are submitted by fans, as well as the inclusion of WOTFI's yearly rap battle from 2015 onwards, which sometimes declares the winner of the "war". Three of the series' story arcs concludes with a WOTFI: "WOTFI 2018" properly shifting the series' overall tone; "WOTFI 2020" reinstated SMG3's status as the series' de-facto main antagonist; and "WOTFI 2021" drastically changing the series' status quo.

Similarly, SMG4 also releases SSENMODNAR (a backward spelling of the word "randomness"), a yearly clipshow featuring short non-sequitur clips, with later videos, like War of the Fat Italians, features random clips that were submitted by the fans of the series. This format was also used in subscriber milestone videos, which also featured short non-sequitur clips from the fans of the series.

Characters

SMG4's Gang

These are the central characters of the series, and the ones that have the most focus. SMG4's Gang mainly consist of some of the most dysfunctional misfits to ever assembled, typically going on wacky adventures together. Despite regularly getting on each other's throat, sometimes to the point of actually beating each other, the main cast looks out for each other and would risk their lives to protect the world and each other from various threats.

• SMG4 (voiced by Luke Lerdwichagul): The title character: A self-proclaimed "meme man" who enjoys his occupation in maintain his own YouTube channel, usually serving as both the Voice of Reason and straight man to Mario's antics, though at times he joins in on the chaos. He was later revealed to be a Super Meme Guardian (SMG for short), an omnipotent being who bonds with a native "Avatar" of an universe and can harness the power of memes to bend the universe as he sees fit, such as creating a gigantic ball of energy made entirely of memes and temporarily transfiguring objects and other beings into anything, as well as being able to frequently break the fourth wall, much to the confusion of his friends.
• Mario (voiced by preexisting voice clips provided by Charles Martinet): Initially starting out as his kind, heroic, and more intelligent canon portrayal, Mario's personality became completely corrupted after being zapped by SMG4's Guardian Pod, becoming a crude, selfish and intellectually-stupid "fat italian" who constantly causes chaos wherever he goes, much to the annoyance of his friends and the inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom, especially SMG4, Princess Peach and Toad. He is also rather rude, as he tends to flip the middle finger at people, and he would rather indulged in his own interests instead of helping out. Despite this however, he can still be a kind and friendly person, as he deeply cares for his friends, especially Luigi and Meggy, the latter whom he developed a sibling-like relationship. He is also well known for spaghetti being his favorite food, sometimes to the point of stripping naked while eating it. In the Genesis Arc, he was later revealed to be an "Avatar", the core of the universe itself that maintains the balance of the "meme cycle", and the one whose SMG4 and SMG3's appearances were based on. According to SMG1 and SMG2, should the Avatar dies, the universe will die out as well, making it SMG4's obligation to prevent Mario from dying.
• Luigi (voiced by preexisting voice clips provided by Charles Martinet): An easily scared Italian and Mario's younger twin brother which constantly has to watch him. A common joke throughout the series is him being called "gay", which he denies despite occasionally exhibiting flamboyant behaviour. In earlier episodes, Luigi's N64 used to be a green Mario recolor due to the color code Luke Lerdwichagul used; however, as of "The Plumber Problem", he has been given an updated N64 model by Cjes, as well as a new GMOD model from Weegeepie.
• Fishy Boopkins (voiced by Kevin Lerdwichagul): An odd-one-out Spike who enjoys playing with toys and is extremely childish. He is known for his ability to stretch his mouth beyond abnormal lengths to the point where his mouth is three times the size of his body. It was later revealed that Boopkins was a huge otaku, claiming to have a Hatsune Miku body-pillow for a wife (amongst five million anime waifu body-pillows), as well as being one of the few individuals instrumental in the events of The Anime Arc's first half, mainly by challenging Mario and Bob in a series of challenges to see who's the "most anime".
• Bob Bobowski (voiced by WillFromAfar): A self-serving attention-hording Garo known for his former rapping career and his tendencies to cause trouble. Bob was also the main antagonist of The Rapper Bob Arc, where his attention-hogging jerkish attitude puts him at odds with his friends when he sworn to rebuild his rap career from scratch after Boopkins accidentally ruined his first concert, not to mention that he basically manipulate his "friends" into boosting his popularity by gaining sympathy from his audience. Provoked by Bob's diss track about them, the Gang enlists the help from Saiko, who felt betrayed by Bob's heinous act, and formed a diss track of their own to counter Bob's song, succeeded in dropping his popularity and his newly-found fame. Ashamed by his deeds and being reminded of "the most important thing in his life" by Waluigi, Bob finally make amends with his friends and rekindled his friendship with Boopkins. He was also the instigator of The Anime Arc's first act, having fired a Kamehameha that destroyed Princess Peach's castle and shifts the blame to Goku because, as he puts it, "Goku did it!"
• Meggy Spletzer (voiced by Lizzie Freeman, previously voiced by preexisting voice clips provided by Yuki Tsujii, Rina Itou and Alice Peralta): A spunky and competitive Inkling from Inkopolis who dreams of winning the annual Splatfest, often serving as the straight man to the sheer insanity that unfolds around her. During the events of The Anime Arc, Meggy, alongside Axol and nearly all of Inkopolis' populace, was kidnapped by Francis for his devious plan to drain them of their ink to be used with Axol's Inkweaver using the Ink-Zuccer 2000, wanting to creating a island full of waifus. Knowing the odds of fighting back against Francis is slim, a drained Meggy asked Axol to have the last of her ink drained to power up his Inkweaver and create a being powerful enough to counter Francis' Super Saiyan Blue Goku replica, seemingly dies when the replica shot down the Ink-Zuccer with her inside before being saved by Axol's Ultra Instinct Shaggy replica, at the cost of permanently stuck in the body of a human girl. Even with this handicap, she still managed to win her first (and last) Splatfest with the help of her friends, before Meggy completes her transition from Inkling to human when she gained a more human-like voice during the final battle against SMG3 and his Anti-Cast in The YouTube Arc.
• Shroomy (voiced by Luke Lerdwichagul): An optimistic anthropomorphic mushroom who is a Boy Scout, always prepared for any sorts of obstacle standing before him. He was later revealed to be an alternate personality of "Anti-Shroomy", a psychotic demon-slaying nephew of the Doom Slayer, and that his cheerful persona is the result of being one of the victims of the Bite of '87.
• Saiko Bichitaru (voiced by preexisting voice clips provided by Minako Kotobuki, Mikako Komatsu, Ryoko Shiraishi, Akemi Okamura and Elsie Lovelock): Initially starting out as a video game character, brought to life by Boopkins for a sole purpose of having a "waifu", it is revealed she was a yandere who disliked it when Boopkins gave any other girl attention. This has led to Boopkins breaking up with her due to her clingy attitude. She later becomes as an attention-seeking villain who serves as an antagonist in some episodes. She eventually redeems herself in "Luigi's Lesson", where she got tired of getting rejected by everybody, to the point where Luigi helped her out, and taught her how to be nice, however, she failed each time. She eventually does a heroic act by saving Mario's life, by taking him to the hospital after he ate too many hot dogs. Ever since then, she has been part of the cast. Saiko became a sort of a mother figure to her friends, albeit a violent one, with a particular fondness towards Meggy and Tari, whom she considered her best friends. As revealed in "She's Back!", and "SMG4 Christmas Special 2021", she is shown to have a secret room that if anyone tried to look what is behind the door, she would guard the door, and angrily tells people to not go in.
• Tari (voiced by Celeste Notley-Smith): A shy and insecure gamer girl who is known for her love for rubber ducks and her huge preference for video-games. Originally asked by Mario to be his gaming tutor during the events of The Waluigi Arc, she became fast friends with him and later on, Meggy, as well as being instrumental in defeating a rejection-powered Waluigi. Tari has a cybernetic prosthetic left arm that was fine-tuned for gaming, giving her a myriad of abilities, such as her ability to maintain perfect accuracy by activating "Expert Mode", turning it into a jet rocket for offensive combat, and even the ability to metaphysically enter any video-game, either by manually activating it or maintaining intense focus on it enough. As revealed by Luke and Kevin Lerdwichagul in the video "The Making of Tari", Tari and her Meta Runner counterpart are two separate characters who only shared a common personality and quirks, such as being a pacifist who strives to solve problems with non-violent means and their expertises in gaming.
• Axol (voiced by Kevin Lerdwichagul): An anthropomorphic axolotl who enjoys drawing anime characters. Originally from Inkopolis, Axol is best known as a famous manga artist who formerly lived in Japan. He has in possession of the Inkweaver, a giant pen he himself jury-rigged when he was young, which grants him the ability to give physical sentience to any drawings, though its intelligence varies depending on how fresh is the ink used. During the events of The YouTube Arc, Axol was accidentally sent to the Internet Graveyard, where he developed both physical and mental scar for being trapped in five years with his Inkweaver broken (in reality, he has gone missing for three weeks), though he, alongside with a similarly-displaced Mario and Luigi, managed to escaped the Graveyard. While he did managed to fix his Inkweaver, Axol was unfortunately possessed by SMG0 during the Genesis Arc, slowly mutating his body into a monstrous entity named "Ax0l", the point that killing the malevolent virus also kills Axol due to being severely merged with the virus. In the end, however, Axol was put out of his misery by Melony, where they both finally confess their feelings for each other before being struck down with her Fierce Deity Sword.
• Melony (voiced by Wolfychu): A former watermelon with hacking skills who gained a human body and powers from a Fierce Deity Mask, more often than not spending her time sleeping. Despite having a body of a teenager and the mentality of a young child, she was a surprisingly powerful fighter who has access to various powers given by the Fierce Deity Mask, including being able to wield the Fierce Deity Sword that can cut through evil.

He also goes by different names, specifically, Xboxfan997, Xboxfan, or his more commonly known name X.

Minor characters

• Desti (voiced by preexisting voice clips): A minor antagonist of The Anime Arc, Desti is Meggy's long-time rival, always outshining her in any way possible, though she is not without a sense of honor and fairness. When Inkopolis' populace went missing along with Meggy during an important Splatfest match, Desti joined forces with SMG4, Mario, their friends and even the Guards to find the missing Inklings (and Octolings) and her rival, as winning the Splatfest without Meggy is considered "unfair". However, Desti was kidnapped while on-route to Anime Island by Francis' Godzilla replica, though she was rescued later on by a freed Axol, who helps the Gang in fighting off Francis' Sephiroth replica while he tries to free Meggy from the Ink-Zuccer 2000. Despite the main cast's success in destroying the Sephiroth replica, Francis nonchalantly creates another Sephiroth replica to fatally stab Desti in the back, shocking Meggy and everyone present as she asks Meggy to "win the Splatfest for her" before succumbing to her wounds. Her death has since having ramifications for the entire series as a whole, such as Meggy developed PTSD over her demise and thus having to win her first (and last) Splatfest for her sake and goes on her inevitable trip to Port Aurora, and the possibility of dying for real at the hands of an even greater threat, as seen with Axol being mercy-killed by Melony to defeat SMG0 in the Genesis Arc. In "Meggy's Destiny: An SMG4 Movie", Desti would later reunite with Meggy as a ghost and the two share a hug while Desti tells her to move on both from her death and from her former life as an Inkling before returning to the afterlife.
• SMG1 and SMG2 (Voiced by MediExcalibur2012 and Robyn Barry-Cotter respectively): The overarching protagonists of the Genesis Arc and the series in general. They are a pair of Super Meme Guardians who were sent to the game Spudnick's Great Adventure to protect their avatar Spudnick in two Guardian Pods. However, after SMG0's arrival and his killing of Spudnick, the two SMGs' appearances decayed, losing some textures. Desperate to flee their falling universe, SMG1 and SMG2 gathered everyone in the ToyToy Kingdom to evacuate to the Mushroom Kingdom, where their Guardian Pod crash landed in Brazil. They soon acknowledged the arrival of SMG4 in the Mushroom Kingdom, and have made it their mission to search for SMG4 to help them defeat SMG0, undergoing the names of Hobo 1 and Hobo 2 to keep their true names a secret. In the "10 Year Anniversary Special", they work with SMG4's gang to fight off SMG0, while revealing their true names at the same time, but after SMG1 sucks SMG0 (when it was really SMG0's arm) into SMG3's Guardian Pod, the black hole created by SMG0 also sucks in SMG1 and SMG2, leaving their fates unknown until the episode "MARIOS OKAY", where they are revealed to be alive, just stuck inside SMG3's Guardian Pod along with their archnemesis. They eventually helped SMG4, SMG3 and the rest of the gang fight off Ax0l to save Mario, who has fallen under his control in "War Of The Fat Italians 2021", and following the defeat of SMG0 and the death of Axol, SMG1 and SMG2 reveal that they have to leave the Mushroom Kingdom to hide the Guardian Pods, and say their goodbyes to everyone before they set off to start their next journey.
• Beeg SMG4 and Long SMG4 (voiced by none): Two alternate “meme” versions of SMG4 who frequently appear as background characters throughout the series, Beeg SMG4 was also the antagonist in the episode "War on Beeg SMG4", where Professor E. Gadd fused SMG4 and Beeg Yoshi in order to make his dream a reality. However, this result in Beeg SMG4 colliding with the Mushroom Kingdom. However, luckily, Professor E. Gadd creates Long SMG4 to blast Beeg SMG4 to space, thus stopping the collision.
• Toast Guy (voiced by preexisting voice clips): A Shy Guy with an obsession for toast and a pair of fairy wings. His catchphrase is "YEAH TOAST!".
• Gourmet Guy (voiced by preexisting voice clips): An overweight Shy Guy who loves to eat and sit on people, and a friend of Toast Guy. His catchphrase is "This is what I do, sit on you !".
• Old Man Hobo (voiced by preexisting voice clips): A pixelated elderly man who often gets caught in accidents. His sprite is ripped from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
• Rocks (voiced by none): These are rocks who serve as reappearing objects in the series. One recurring rock wears a wizard hat. They tend to have a face, and serve as projectiles thrown by characters.
• Greg the Alien (voiced by preexisting voice clips): An alien from the planet Aelion who befriended Mario and taken to his residence as his best friend. However, a year after they met, Mario accidentally shoots him to death in "Stupid Mario Arcade", much to Mario's chagrin, which would haunt him for many months, which would later play a role in "The Resurrection", where Greg's people send Mario, Meggy, Bob and Tari to Aelion to resurrect Greg, which fails after the altar gets destroyed.
• Spudnick (voiced by Robyn Barry-Cotter): The postmuthous overarching protagonist of the Genesis Arc and the series in general. He is the avatar and main protagonist of the game Spudnick's Great Adventure, where he goes on many wild adventures with SMG1 and SMG2, his two SMG recolors. Little is known about Spudnick, only that he is dumb like his succeeding avatar Mario and loves his teddy bear. Unfortunately, when SMG0 arrives in the Old Universe, he grabs Spudnick and sucks away all of his life, reducing him to a lifeless skeleton and is left behind in the destroyed ToyToy Kingdom as SMG1, SMG2 and everyone in it flee to the Mushroom Kingdom in SMG1's Guardian Pod.
• Starman3 (voiced by none): A calm and honest yellow recolor of Mario who served as a friend of Mario and SMG4, but was removed almost entirely from the series due to controversies surrounding the real-life person behind the character being a pedophile. The character still makes very occasional cameo appearances throughout the series.

Antagonists

• SMG3 (voiced by James Bailey): SMG4's archenemy. He has attempted to steal SMG4's ego and take over the world multiple times, but has failed. Although he tries to be evil, his incompetence has caused him to fail numerous times, except in The YouTube Arc where he temporarily succeeds in taking SMG4's channel for himself by having him and his Anti-Cast travelled back in time to sabotage the events in the debut appearances of SMG4 and his friends (except Mario, as he has plans for him) using a universal remote control owned by YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, seemingly erasing them from existence. Fortunately, Mario soon learned that SMG4 and his friends (and Susan) were trapped in the Internet Graveyard, likely the result of SMG3 and the Anti-Cast's timeline meddling causes their respective debut appearances to "lose their relevance" and were sent there due to being "irrelevant", and manage to free them just in time to fight SMG3 and his gang, with SMG3 losing and is sent to the Graveyard by Susan as a punishment for his irresponsible use of the YouTube Remote. It was revealed in the Genesis Arc that he was an SMG intended to be sent in the Internet Graveyard to serve as its guardian, but was displaced by one of the beams fired by SMG0 during a scuffle with SMG1 and SMG2 inside SMG1's Guardian Pod. After the events of the Genesis Arc, he and SMG4 has since became friendly rivals, as both of them are still continuing to learn more control of their SMG powers.
• Fuego the Water Bottle (voiced by James Bailey): An aggressive, Communist water bottle with a cartoon-like face who has an obsession with killing those who do not "stay hydrated".
• Teletubbies (voiced by preexisting voice clips): A race of homicidal maniacs who are the source of slapstick from multiple characters.
• Wario and Waluigi (voiced by preexisting voice clips, primarily provided by Charles Martinet): A pair of conniving brothers who seeks fame and riches, often comically failing to do so. Waluigi then became the main antagonist of The Waluigi Arc, when he was rejected in his application as a playable Fighter in Super Smash Bros. by Nintendo and ended up gaining the "Power of Rejection", which grants him tremendous powers the more he felt rejected, unleashing it upon the world by turning anyone unlucky enough to be in his warpath into T-Pose Zombies and mind-controlled Master Hand into leading his army of T-Pose Zombies. It wasn't until the combined efforts of SMG4, Mario and their friends, as well as the timely interventions from Tari and Wario, completely halted Waluigi's campaign of revenge and thus de-powered, though Waluigi has some access to his powers in an extent.
• Francis (voiced by preexisting voice clips): The don of the Anime Cartel and the main antagonist of The Anime Arc's second act. Francis is an otaku chameleon who leads the Anime Cartel during the passing of the "Anime Prohibition Act", which bans any and all traces of anything anime, initially seen asking SMG4, Boopkins and Bob to escort Saiko to Japan (as the law also outlawed people of anime origins) and later helping the Gang in undoing the "Anime Prohibition Act". However, he was revealed to be responsible in the mass kidnappings in Inkopolis, and later on, the disappearances of Meggy and Axol, explaining that he planned to painfully extract the ink of Inkopolis' populace in an effort to create an island full of waifus. Using Axol's stolen Inkweaver, he attacks SMG4's Gang with his army of anime characters, as well as nonchalantly killing off Desti, prompting the Gang to put him down for good by having Saiko place Francis in one of his Ink-Zuccer machines and leave him to be painfully drained of his life while his island explodes with him on it.
• Susan Wojcicki (voiced by preexisting voice clips): The egotistical CEO of YouTube, Susan was portrayed as a velociraptor with blonde pigtails and a shirt. One of the series' running gags involving Susan has her surname changes every time she speaks on-screen, a reference to the difficulty of spelling her surname.
• Zer0 (voiced by Kevin Lerdwichagul): The main antagonist of the Genesis Arc, and the overarching antagonist of the series in general. It is a malevolent virus capable of corrupting and destroying entire universes, usually by finding and killing the "Avatar" of a universe. Originally arrived in the SMG4 universe alongside SMG4 and SMG3 in their respective Guardian Pods, Zer0 has been patiently planning its attacks to lure Mario to it so it can drain Mario to death, eventually revealed to have altered the trajectory of SMG3's Guardian Pod to land on the Mushroom Kingdom, instead of his supposed destination on the Internet Graveyard, as well as responsible for the gradual disappearances of the various Mario recolors in the series. Despite barely sealing it away with SMG3's Guardian Pod, it was revealed that what they just sealed away was actually Zer0's arm, which escaped due to the anti-virus program in SMG3's Guardian Pod expired and even managed to send the Guardian Pod containing Zer0's body to the Mushroom Kingdom, where it possessed Axol and mutate him into a monstrous being called "Ax0l". Even with everyone's efforts to save Mario and defeat SMG0, Melony learned from Axol, who was permanently fused with Zer0, that the only way to destroy the virus for good is to kill Zer0's host, which Melony tearfully obliged and kills Axol, seemingly destroying Zer0 for good.
• Ztar (voiced by preexisting voice clips): A evil star with dark powers created by SMG3 and Bowser whose main goal is to destroy the universe, and is also one of the most powerful beings in the show with his immense and destructive powers. At the end of "Bad Star's Back! 300K special", he, alongside Good Star, was sucked into a portal, where he has left floating in space since then.
• Master Hand (voiced by preexisting voice clips by Xander Mobus and Nolan North): An anti-hero and the overarching antagonist of the Super Smash Bros. series, who runs the game alongside his brother Crazy Hand. His job is to accept people into Smash, which plays a large role in The Waluigi Arc, where he finally gets fed up with Waluigi begging him to put him in Smash that he causes Waluigi to enter a god form.

Production

The channel of SMG4 was created in 2009 by Luke Lerdwichagul when he was a teenager, primarily creating comedic videos of Super Mario 64 on a low budget by interspersing clips of the game and editing them via Windows Movie Maker. Kevin Lerdwichagul, Luke's older brother, pursued degrees in computer science and engineering when he observed his brother making videos on the game, with the channel reaching over one million subscribers by the time Luke graduated from high school. Seeing potential in his younger brother's videos, Kevin later became the CEO of Glitch Productions, handling the business aspects of the studio.

The web series airs on the American video sharing website, YouTube, and the first episode was aired on 7 May 2011, titled "The Cake is a Lie". A month later, he made his second episode on 3 June 2011, titled "Dreams". Ever since then, he has been making bloopers, and has no signs of stopping. Initially, the episodes were released daily, but after a while, they are usually released once a week.

Ever since 2019, Luke and Kevin usually take a 2 to 3 week break of the show before a season starts, and the first episode of a new season would be a "shitpost" episode.

The episodes usually get at least 1-2 million views, but two episodes in particular "Freddy's Spaghetteria", and especially "Who Let The Chomp Out?" has garnered 48 million views, and 58 million views respectively, making them the most viewed episodes of the series.

Reception

In 2019, SMG4 was nominated for a Shorty Award in the category for "Best in Weird."
