''Despicable Mayhem'' is a [[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]] fanfiction written by Creator/CVGWJames. It's his first original chaptered work on the web series that's not a retelling of his arcs.

Chaos spreads in the Mushroom Kingdom when people have their prized possessions either stolen from them or meddled with. First Mario finds his precious spaghetti missing, and Melony can't find Inkweaver... but Swagmaster's tank getting inked may be the final nail in the coffin, as it prompts him to declare war on Inklings, believing them to be responsible. Who's doing all of this to their stuff? And why would they do this?

You can read the story on Website/FanFictionDotNet [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14276251/1/SMG4-Despicable-Mayhem-an-SMG4-story here]], or on Website/DeviantArt [[https://www.deviantart.com/cvgwjames/gallery/90367824/smg4-despicable-mayhem here]].
!!''Despicable Mayhem'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationalKarma: Of the OffscreenKarma variety. [=SMG3=] mentions Lawyer Kong getting beat up by ninjas following his defeat in the [[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64BloopersTheLawsuitArc Lawsuit Arc]], something that doesn't happen in the original.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [=SMG3=] gets hacked in Chapter 5, and the culprit was seemingly [=SMG4=], someone he trusted. The worst part of it for him? It happened while he was streaming.
* AuthorAvatar: Swagmaster, to an extent. His complaining in the second chapter that he doesn't have a redesign was meant to reflect the author feeling for quite some time that Swag and Chris should get a redesign.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted with Waluigi, who's the little brother, but Wario getting hurt in Chapter 3 pushes him to unleash his Rejection Move and go into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge in Chapter 4.
* CallBack:
** It wouldn't be an [=SMG4=] fanfic without a reference to one of his most popular videos; in this case, Mario gets [[Recap/MarioGetsHisPINGASStuckInTheDoor his PINGAS stuck in a refrigerator door]] in the first chapter.
** Chapter 2 mentions Francis stealing Axol's Inkweaver in the [[WebAnimation/SMG4TheAnimeArc Anime Arc]]as well as Peach's Castle being destroyed ''[[WebAnimation/SMG4MovieItsGottaBePerfect [=SMG4=] Movie: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT]]''.
** Upon being hacked in Chapter 5, [=SMG3=] exclaims "[[WebAnimation/TheSMG4Movie10YearAnniversarySpecial what the bingus?]]"
** What keeps [=SMG4=] and 3 from turning on each other after getting hacked is them remembering their battle with Zero in the Cosmology Saga.
* TheCameo: Creator/StanLee makes a cameo in Chapter 4.
* {{Crossover}}: With ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'', obviously, in case the title and cover art didn't give it away.
* MoodWhiplash: Chapter 3 opens with a lighthearted day in the Mushroom Kingdom. There is some conflict between Waluigi and [[VideoGame/PizzaTower Peppino]], but it's resolved rather quickly. Then Mario accuses Wario of stealing his spaghetti, and things quickly escalate from there. Not to mention the impending war started by Swag in the previous chapter...
* NotMeThisTime: Wario is accused of stealing Mario's spaghetti in Chapter 3, when as he tries to explain, money is more what he's after.
* OriginalCharacter: So far, two characters created by the author appear in this story: Melony's new boyfriend Jaxl, and notorious hacker Karlos S. Zepelkin (aka [=KongScumZelus=]).
* RevengeBeforeReason: Despite knowing full well that Mario's the universe's avatar, and that it will die if he does, Waluigi still tries to kill him.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Jaxl, an OriginalCharacter by the author, makes his first appearance in the story's second chapter (albeit a nonphysical appearance as he texts with Melony).
* SecondLove: Jaxl, a character the author created and who appeared in some of his past works, serves as this for Melony.
* SeriousBusiness: Naturally, Mario's first instinct upon realizing his spaghetti is missing is to freak out. Hilariously enough, Luigi does so as well, even though he's usually depicted as the smarter and more rational brother of the two.
* ShoutOut:
** The story begins with a nod to the "good morning, city" scene from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''.
** Naturally, False Vegeta says his famous "over 9,000" line in Chapter 6. Twice, actually.
* VillainTeamUp: Dr. Cortex and Dr. Pootis team up to steal Inkweaver in Chapter 6. Well, technically speaking, Inkweaver was ''given'' to them.
