* NotSoHarmlessVillain: After years of being a nuisance at best, this arc proves that [=SMG3=] is capable of being just as much of a threat as heavy hitters like Waluigi and Francis with his most cunning plan yet, and he comes ''very'' close to winning.

!!The Arc provides examples of:
* ArcVillain: At first, it seems to be Susan Wojcicki, the {{Jerkass}} C.E.O. of [=YouTube=], but it's ultimately revealed to be [=SMG3=]. He creates the second iteration of his gang, filled with counterparts to [=SMG4=]'s, and gets his hands on the [=YouTube=] Remote to destroy [=SMG4=] and everything he stands for as payback for [=SMG4=] destroying his studio. In fact, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork Susan is forced to team up with the Gang]] in the effort of stopping [=SMG3=].
* TheBadGuyWins: In "Deleted.", nobody except Mario survives getting erased by [=SMG3=]'s timeline meddling.
* BigBadEnsemble: Susan and [=SMG3=], but the latter comes out as the ArcVillain of the [=YouTube=] arc.
* BreakTheCutie: The [=YouTube=] Arc has done a number on Axol. Thanks to Mario abusing the power of the [=YouTube=] Remote, an Oof Button took him to the Internet Graveyard, where he spent five years--which in real time is only a few weeks. What's worse, Inkweaver was destroyed in the process, and Axol lost quite a bit of his sanity in his time there. He's mostly fine by the time his friends helped him remember who he was and escape, but his scar is still there, we have no confirmation that Inkweaver is fixed or can be fixed (or, if Axol has to make a new one from scratch, how long it would take), and he probably has PTSD from basically aging 5 years in a few weeks. Then we later find out that he still has Inkweaver, but it's only good for a bludgeon now.
* DisproportionateRetribution: While [=SMG3=] is understandably pissed about his studio being destroyed, ''erasing [=SMG4=] and his cast from existence'' is definitely going overboard.
* DraggedOffToHell: The fate of anyone caught by the Oof Buttons summoned by the [=YouTube=] Remote, banished to a purgatory call the Internet Graveyard. This includes Axol, Luigi, Mario, and at the end of the Arc, [=SMG3=].
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [=SMG3=] is defeated and banished, the [=YouTube=] Remote is returned to its rightful owner, the Anti-cast dissolves, and Meggy even gets a new voice.
* EvolvingCredits: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/supermarioglitchy4/images/0/0a/SMG4_Glitched_Banner_3.png/revision/latest?cb=20200809032334 The new channel banner]] posted after "The Internet Graveyard" has everyone but Mario slowly replaced by [=SMG3=]'s Gang every episode afterwards.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In "Mario Gets Woke," one of the pranks Mario does with the [=YouTube=] Remote is to make Meggy [[SuddenlyVoiced speak English and Japanese]]. At the end of the Arc, thanks to the remote, Meggy is given a permanent english voice.
** In "The Internet Graveyard", Axol reveals that the titular location is where everything [=YouTube=]-related will ended up if it became "too irrelevant". ''Remind us how everything [=YouTube=]-related were sent there when [=SMG4=] and the gang ended up there''?
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During the usual announcements at the beginning of the video, the whole channel is feeling the effects of [=SMG3=]'s meddling with the [=YouTube=] Remote, and its ends with the cam glitching out and being replace with first a static image of [=SMG3=] waving and the ''Glitch Production'' glitching out.
* GodGuise: In "S̶M̶G̶4̶: I Can't Believe It's Not [=SMG4=]!", [=SMG3=] pretends to be Cromolus, god of theater, so he can use Mario and form the second version of his gang to counter [=SMG4=]'s and replace them.
* GoneMadFromTheIsolation: Axol during his banishment in the Internet Graveyard.
* HeelFaceTurn: Susan puts aside her issues with Mario and [=SMG4=] by "A Totally Normal [=SMG4=] Episode" in the interest of taking down [=SMG3=]. It ends with her gain some mutual respect for [=SMG4=] after the battle, and states she'll demonetize his channel less in the future.
* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: "Stupid Mario Arcade" starts out a ShoutOut to various retro arcade games, only for [[MauveShirt Greg the alien]] to be [[KilledOffForReal killed off]] in the middle of it, which plays a big role in "Mario vs Youtube".
* KilledOffForReal: Greg was killed during "Stupid Mario Arcade", which is confirmed in "Mario VS Youtube". [=SMG3=] reminds Mario of this to convince him to join.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Between Mario being manipulated by [=SMG3=] into joining the heist to avenge Greg, and Mario unintentionally sending Axol to the Internet Graveyard during the events of "Mario Gets Woke" (resulting in the breaking of both Axol, who has [[GoMadFromTheIsolation gone mad from being stuck in there for five years]], and the Inkweaver, [[StoryBreakerPower which would have given the heroes equal footing]]), it's safe to say Mario's screwed up the biggest so far this arc. Gets even worse in the "War Of The Fat Italians 2020", when Mario causes [=SMG3=] to snap during the challenges and force [=JubJub=] to cough up the remote possessing him.
** Though this was nothing compared to ''[=SMG4=]'', who singlehandedly kickstarted the arc just by ruining [=SMG3=]'s chance of redeeming himself, under the assumption that he's still evil.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Both villains are deposed due to their actions in previous episodes.
** Susan, in her petty attempt to get back at Mario for using the [=YouTube=] Remote in "Mario Gets Woke", has him kill Greg during "Stupid Mario Arcade". This allows [=SMG3=] to manipulate Mario into helping him steal the remote during "Mario vs Youtube," which results in her banishment in "A Totally Normal [=SMG4=] Episode."
** [=SMG3=]'s BadBoss tendencies bite him back fatally when his Anti-Cast betray him during the rap battle in "War Of The Fat Italians 2020", and is subsequently DraggedOffToHell by Susan herself after losing.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Meggy completes her transition from Inkling OC to Original Character thanks to the [=YouTube=] Remote replacing her voice. [=SMG3=] is banished to the Internet Graveyard, where he would later undergo another HeelFaceTurn and become its new ruler.
* NotQuiteDead: Turns out that rather then [[RetGone erasing the Glitchy Gang]], the cast is trapped - along with Susan - in the Internet Graveyard due to [=SMG3=]'s inexperience with the [=YouTube=] Remote, giving them a window in escaping it and beating [=SMG3=].
* SuddenlySpeaking: Starting with this arc, [=SMG3=] was voiced by fulltime Glitch editor James Bailey.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [=SMG4=] this time around, due to thinking [=SMG3=] is up to something evil, raids and causes such a ruckus that Snitch Production studio is destroyed, and [=SMG3=] decides to return to villainy, which leads to the arc.
* WhamEpisode:
** "Mario's Spicy Day 🔥" ends with the reveal that [=SMG3=] really was trying to reform, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero but thanks to [=SMG4=]]], [[ThenLetMeBeEvil decides to return to villainy.]]
** "Mario VS Youtube": The episode has Mario working with [=SMG3=]'s Gang to retrieve the [=YouTube=] Remote so that he can rebuild his studio. Once they get it with the help of Anti-Shroomy, he reveals his true intentions: [[RetGone to delete [=SMG4=] from existence]]. It then cuts to Mario finishing telling this story to [=SMG4=], confirming it takes place after "The Internet Graveyard". With that, [=SMG4=] takes Mario to round up everyone to fight [=SMG3=]'s Gang, kickstarting the Youtube Arc. And this episode is also revealed to be the ''6th'' in the arc, retroactively making the past 5 episodes part of the arc as well.
** "War Of The Fat Italians 2020" is less impactful than the others, but it shows one important thing: [[SuddenlyVoiced Meggy now has a permanent English voice]].
* WhamLine:
** "Mario VS Youtube": After [=SMG3=]'s Gang succeeds in getting the [=YouTube=] Remote:
--->'''[=SMG3=]''': AND NOW! TO FINALLY USE THIS REMOTE ''TO DESTROY [=SMG4=] ONCE AND FOR ALL!!''
** "War of the Fat Italians 2020": After [[OverlyLongGag Susan [=WindowsXP=]]] banished [=SMG3=] to the Internet Graveyard and got her remote back:
--->'''[[SuddenlyVoiced Meggy]]''': Ha...ah...hello? This is Meggy and this is my voice!
* YearInsideHourOutside: The Internet Graveyard, as revealed in its titular episode. Axol explains that he was trapped there for five years, but in the real world, it's only been a few weeks.

* EvolvingCredits: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/supermarioglitchy4/images/0/0a/SMG4_Glitched_Banner_3.png/revision/latest?cb=20200809032334 The new channel banner]] posted after "The Internet Graveyard" has everyone but Mario slowly replaced by [=SMG3=]'s Gang every episode afterwards.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** In "Mario Gets Woke," one of the pranks Mario does with the [=YouTube=] Remote is to make Meggy [[SuddenlyVoiced speak English and Japanese]]. At the end of the Arc, thanks to the remote, Meggy is given a permanent english voice.
** In "The Internet Graveyard", Axol reveals that the titular location is where everything [=YouTube=]-related will ended up if it became "too irrelevant". ''Remind us how everything [=YouTube=]-related were sent there when [=SMG4=] and the gang ended up there''?
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: During the usual announcements at the beginning of the video, the whole channel is feeling the effects of [=SMG3=]'s meddling with the [=YouTube=] Remote, and its ends with the cam glitching out and being replace with first a static image of [=SMG3=] waving and the ''Glitch Production'' glitching out.
* GodGuise: In "S̶M̶G̶4̶: I Can't Believe It's Not [=SMG4=]!", [=SMG3=] pretends to be Cromolus, god of theater, so he can use Mario and form the second version of his gang to counter [=SMG4=]'s and replace them.
* GoneMadFromTheIsolation: Axol during his banishment in the Internet Graveyard.
* HeelFaceTurn: Susan puts aside her issues with Mario and [=SMG4=] by "A Totally Normal [=SMG4=] Episode" in the interest of taking down [=SMG3=]. It ends with her gain some mutual respect for [=SMG4=] after the battle, and states she'll demonetize his channel less in the future.
* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: "Stupid Mario Arcade" starts out a ShoutOut to various retro arcade games, only for [[MauveShirt Greg the alien]] to be [[KilledOffForReal killed off]] in the middle of it, which plays a big role in "Mario vs Youtube".
* KilledOffForReal: Greg was killed during "Stupid Mario Arcade", which is confirmed in "Mario VS Youtube". [=SMG3=] reminds Mario of this to convince him to join.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Between Mario being manipulated by [=SMG3=] into joining the heist to avenge Greg, and Mario unintentionally sending Axol to the Internet Graveyard during the events of "Mario Gets Woke" (resulting in the breaking of both Axol, who has [[GoMadFromTheIsolation gone mad from being stuck in there for five years]], and the Inkweaver, [[StoryBreakerPower which would have given the heroes equal footing]]), it's safe to say Mario's screwed up the biggest so far this arc. Gets even worse in the "War Of The Fat Italians 2020", when Mario causes [=SMG3=] to snap during the challenges and force [=JubJub=] to cough up the remote possessing him.
** Though this was nothing compared to ''[=SMG4=]'', who singlehandedly kickstarted the arc just by ruining [=SMG3=]'s chance of redeeming himself, under the assumption that he's still evil.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Both villains are deposed due to their actions in previous episodes.
** Susan, in her petty attempt to get back at Mario for using the [=YouTube=] Remote in "Mario Gets Woke", has him kill Greg during "Stupid Mario Arcade". This allows [=SMG3=] to manipulate Mario into helping him steal the remote during "Mario vs Youtube," which results in her banishment in "A Totally Normal [=SMG4=] Episode."
** [=SMG3=]'s BadBoss tendencies bite him back fatally when his Anti-Cast betray him during the rap battle in "War Of The Fat Italians 2020", and is subsequently DraggedOffToHell by Susan herself after losing.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Meggy completes her transition from Inkling OC to Original Character thanks to the [=YouTube=] Remote replacing her voice. [=SMG3=] is banished to the Internet Graveyard, where he would later undergo another HeelFaceTurn and become its new ruler.
* NotQuiteDead: Turns out that rather then [[RetGone erasing the Glitchy Gang]], the cast is trapped - along with Susan - in the Internet Graveyard due to [=SMG3=]'s inexperience with the [=YouTube=] Remote, giving them a window in escaping it and beating [=SMG3=].
* SuddenlySpeaking: Starting with this arc, [=SMG3=] was voiced by fulltime Glitch editor James Bailey.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [=SMG4=] this time around, due to thinking [=SMG3=] is up to something evil, raids and causes such a ruckus that Snitch Production studio is destroyed, and [=SMG3=] decides to return to villainy, which leads to the arc.
* WhamEpisode:
** "Mario's Spicy Day 🔥" ends with the reveal that [=SMG3=] really was trying to reform, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero but thanks to [=SMG4=]]], [[ThenLetMeBeEvil decides to return to villainy.]]
** "Mario VS Youtube": The episode has Mario working with [=SMG3=]'s Gang to retrieve the [=YouTube=] Remote so that he can rebuild his studio. Once they get it with the help of Anti-Shroomy, he reveals his true intentions: [[RetGone to delete [=SMG4=] from existence]]. It then cuts to Mario finishing telling this story to [=SMG4=], confirming it takes place after "The Internet Graveyard". With that, [=SMG4=] takes Mario to round up everyone to fight [=SMG3=]'s Gang, kickstarting the Youtube Arc. And this episode is also revealed to be the ''6th'' in the arc, retroactively making the past 5 episodes part of the arc as well.
** "War Of The Fat Italians 2020" is less impactful than the others, but it shows one important thing: [[SuddenlyVoiced Meggy now has a permanent English voice]].
* WhamLine:
** "Mario VS Youtube": After [=SMG3=]'s Gang succeeds in getting the [=YouTube=] Remote:
--->'''[=SMG3=]''': AND NOW! TO FINALLY USE THIS REMOTE ''TO DESTROY [=SMG4=] ONCE AND FOR ALL!!''
** "War of the Fat Italians 2020": After [[OverlyLongGag Susan [=WindowsXP=]]] banished [=SMG3=] to the Internet Graveyard and got her remote back:
--->'''[[SuddenlyVoiced Meggy]]''': Ha...ah...hello? This is Meggy and this is my voice!
* YearInsideHourOutside: The Internet Graveyard, as revealed in its titular episode. Axol explains that he was trapped there for five years, but in the real world, it's only been a few weeks.
