6	----
7	* AdvertisedExtra: Mario appears prominently in the thumbnail for the video standing behind [=SMG4=], but in reality, his role in the video is relatively minor, appearing in one scene that lasts for about a minute and a half before disappearing for the rest of the video.
8	* TheBusCameBack: This episode is Frankie's first major appearance since "[[Recap/SMG4sMarioBloopersIfMarioWasInROBLOX If Mario Was In... ROBLOX]]".
9	* CaptainErsatz: WebVideo/MrBeast is one of [=SMG3=]'s fans, but he uses a TTS voice and goes by "Mr. Yeast" instead.
10	* ADayInTheLimelight: [=SMGs=] 3 and 4 take center stage in this episode, which focuses on the latter's jealousy of the former's popular Twitch streams and collabs with Mr. Yeast.
11	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [=SMG4=]'s idea of making more content to get Mr. Yeast's attention is to sit dozens of Toads in rows in a dark room, force them to work tirelessly with no breaks, and ''whip'' ones that don't do a good job of making content. In other words, [=SMG4=] has become a ''slavedriver''.
12	* EveryoneHasStandards: As spaghetti obsessed Mario is, even he would not want to make it in a crashing plane.
13	* GreenEyedMonster: It's glaringly obvious [=SMG4=] is jealous of the fact that [=SMG3=]'s burst of success is making him more popular than he could ever hope to be, causing him to use rather immoral methods to catch up with him.
14	* InstantlyProvenWrong: [=SMG4=] claims nobody will want to watch [=SMG3=]'s stream, then goes to bed. Cut to morning, and [=SMG3=]'s stream has 3 ''million'' viewers.
15	* KarmaHoudini: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. [=SMG4=] gets cancelled and ostracised when he's revealed to have enslaved Toads to make videos for him. However, he easily gets uncancelled when he and [=SMG3=] make a funny memetic video.
16	* ALessonLearnedTooWell: [=SMG4=] learns that pumping out videos en masse isn't the right way but instead of moderating himself, switches gears to making a "perfect" video.
17	* NotWhatISignedOnFor: When [=SMG3=] and Mr. Yeast reveal that Mario will be cooking his spaghetti on a plane that's about to crash, Mario [[OhCrap panics]] and claims it's not what he signed up for.
18	* NotWhatItLooksLike: In an effort to make people forget about [=SMG4=]'s wrongdoing, [=SMG3=] starts playing with toys with him. Meggy walks in on them doing this, gets [[{{Manchild}} the wrong idea]], and hastily leaves.
19	* PetTheDog: After [=SMG3=] finishes his video with Mr. Yeast, he asks if he'd like to do a collab with [=SMG4=] next after noticing him follow them around the whole time. Unfortunately, Mr. Yeast refuses.
20	* ReadingsBlewUpTheScale: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. When [=SMG4=] tries making more content, his rating charts actually spike so hard downwards that the arrow breaks out of [=SMG4=]'s phone.
21	* RunningGag: Mr. Yeast leaving the scene in increasingly elaborate vehicles. The first time it's a simple car. The second time he has a boat, despite being land, only for the boat to then ''fly''. The third time, he and [=SMG3=] take off in a ''[=UFO=]''.
22	* SanitySlippage: [=SMG3=] suddenly becoming popular through genuine means causes [=SMG4=] to try so hard to surpass everyone that he actually forgets the importance of the quality of videos, and when [=SMG3=] has to remind him that quality is more important than quantity, he ends up taking it to the most logical extreme and becomes hyper fixated at making the "best video ever".
23	* TemporarilyAVillain: [=SMG4=]'s jealousy of [=SMG3=] and his desire to become more popular than him leads him to act not so different from how [=SMG3=][[note]]who once became the BigBad of an arc from having his online reputation ruined[[/note]] used to act, even going so far as to enslave the Toads.
24	* ThrowTheDogABone: [=SMG3=] finally surpasses [=SMG4=] in popularity with his Twitch streams- this time as a forgivable AntiHero rather than a full-on villain.
25	* TooDumbToLive: Several of the challenges are depicted are more than a bit lethally stupid, such as [=SMG3=] streaming for 24 hours in a burning building, a group of Mr. Yeast's followers trying to be the last ones holding on to speeding automobiles, and Mario trying to cook spaghetti in a crashing plane.
26	* YouWereTryingTooHard: When Mr. Yeast decides that [=SMG4=] is unworthy of being collabed with, [=SMG4=], out of desperation, forces Toads to make him tons of content for him, believing that more equals better, causing him to become even ''worse'' of in popularity than where he was before. [=SMG3=] of all people is the one who has to explain that people only care about the quality of the content, but once [=SMG4=] learns ''that'', he suddenly becomes super obsessed with making "the best video ever," making him continue to look like an obsessed maniac.
