Overall

• Action Girl: Over the years, this series developed no fewer than FIVE…
  • Princess Peach in the early days of the series, having proven to be one heck of a reliable ally when not the butt of everyone's jokes. Even being reduced to a minor side character does very little in diminishing this, as "Food Wars" demonstrate when she goes full-on Saxon Hale on the whole gang with zero effort.
  • Meggy Spletzer not only lives and breathes this trope, she embodies it. Being a multitalented athlete who trains hard for Splatfest, she pretty much has a sense to get out of any sticky situation that she and her friends get into. Even after being turned into a human due to the events of the Anime Arc, she can still kick all kinds of evil in the face.
  • While not as badass as her friends, Tari still deserves a mention, as her wits and gamer skills end up helping her friends on more than one occasion, such as beating Waluigi in his own game by taking control of SMG4 and charges directly at him, caught him by surprise, enough to break his hold on his T-Pose Zombie army and free her friends.
  • Saiko Bichitaru is known for doing this on a fairly daily basis, especially if she's pissed. Francis learned this the hard way after he killed off Desti, with her throwing the leader of the Anime Cartel into one of his Ink-Zuccer machines set to "Maximum Zucc" and leaves him to be painfully drained of his life-force on his own island which is about to self-destruct.
  • Once an ordinary watermelon, bonding with the Fierce Deity Mask not only granted Melony a human body, but also the powers of a god, which she is not afraid to use to protect her friends and loved ones… even at the risk of losing control. Come the Revelations Arc, she's fully mastered these powers.
• Aerith and Bob: The group’s membership consists of basic names like Mario, Luigi, Toad, Steve, Peach, Bob, Meggy and Melony, but also more bizarre names like SMG4, Bowser, Fishy Boopkins, Axol, Saiko, Tari and Shroomy.
• And Then John Was a Zombie: Nearly all of the main cast were turned into T-Pose Zombies on two separate occasions, though while both times were averted, it takes a Big Damn Heroes from a new character to work the second time it happened.
• Badass Crew: So, so much. The Anime Arc pretty much cements this status.
• Canon Foreigner: All of the fully original characters are this due to the show primarily featuring characters originating from existing video games.
• Demoted to Extra: Peach, Bowser, Toad, and Steve, who were all major characters in the series's early days, are now recurring side characters. Between all of them, Bowser and Steve appear the most.
• The Friends Who Never Hang: Inevitable with a cast of so many characters. Some examples are SMG4 with Meggy; Luigi, Toad, and Meggy (Toad hates everyone and Luigi gels better with Tari); and Peach with most of the modern additions to the main cast. Slowly subverted as the series goes on, however.
• Invisible Parents: With the exception of Boopkins^* (whose father is a recurring side character) and Saiko^* (who doesn't have parents due to being a video game character brought to life), very little is known about the gang's parents (or family in general), with them mentioned very infrequently or, in some cases, never at all. In the case of the Mario characters, this carries over from their home franchise.
• Later-Installment Weirdness: Starting in early 2024, dialogue from Fishy Boopkins, Bob, and Shroomy have been subtitled. This is quite the change, since all three of them were allowed to speak without subtitles for years.
• Nice Mean And In Between:
  • Nice: Luigi, Tari, Boopkins, Axol, and Melony.
  • Mean: Mario, Toad, Saiko, and Bob.
  • In-Between: SMG4, Meggy, Shroomy, Peach, Steve, and Bowser.
• Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Some of these characters go through permanent body or design changes.
  • Meggy goes from Inkling to human after sacrificing her ink in the Anime Arc.
  • Axol got a rather nasty scar on his eye and slightly different clothes during his time in the Internet Graveyard.
  • Melony goes from a (mostly) inanimate watermelon to a humanoid after bonding with a Fierce Deity Mask.
  • Saiko got a graphical update after bonding, both figuratively and literally, with Kaizo.
  • SMG4, SMG3, Fishy Boopkins, and Bob received original designs following the conclusion of the Lawsuit Arc after reaching an agreement with Nintendo.
  • While Tari's redesign qualifies under this as well, it should be noted that unlike the others, hers isn't given an In-Universe explanation.
• Original Generation: Whereas the other characters were established from another franchise or were multicolored Marios, all of the newcomers since Shroomy have been completely original characters. Meggy's transformation into a human would later cement her as one too. Later than that, the in-universe Nintendo's forced redesigns of SMG4, SMG3, Fishy Boopkins, and Bob would have them follow suit.
• Ragtag Band of Misfits: Let's see, we have… a dumbass Italian plumber and his cowardly brother, a meme-obsessed Palette Swap of said Italian plumber (at least before his redesign), an Inkling turned human, a Gamer Chick with a cyborg arm, the reptilian king of a rival kingdom who loves chicken nuggets and is the world's worst father, an anthropomorphic otaku fish creature, a self-serving and extremely perverted guy in a cloak, a Cute But Psycho Yandere with a mallet, a Crazy-Prepared Boy Scout with a Doom Slayer-level Superpowered Evil Side, an axolotl with mangaka-level drawing skills armed with an omnipotent fountain pen that brings drawings to life, and a watermelon who was given human form and superpowers from a mask. And that's not even counting its supporting members, which consist of a crazy monarch with her grumpiest mushroom-headed servant and one of the most iconic video game characters of the 2010s. At this point, "ragtag" is an Understatement!
• Vitriolic Best Buds: They rag, annoy and beat on each other on a daily basis, but you can bet that they will be there for each other in dire situations. This was best shown in the Anime Arc, when SMG4 and his crew decidedly fights to save Meggy despite the thin odds of surviving Francis and Axol's stolen Inkweaver.
  SMG4: You don't understand. It's either we leave with Meggy, or not leaving at all!

Main Protagonists

SMG4

supermarioglitchy4/Super Meme Guardian 4 (SMG4)

Voiced by: Luke Lerdwichagul ("Mario's Illegal Operation" onward), Alejandro Bono (Latin American Spanish dub)

First appearance: "account loss" (2011)

The meme maestro himself! Redesigned...Again!

^{Click here to see the first redesign}

^{Click here to see his old Mario recolor design}

The creator of the bloopers and part of the Big Good Ensemble of the series alongside Mario. He resides in the castle with Mario (specifically the room housing Peach's Secret Slide^* although that room is heavily implied in Super Mario 64 DS to be part of Peach's own bedroom), often making bloopers, and gets generally annoyed by Mario, but he likes him nonetheless.

---

• Always Someone Better: He's this to SMG3, and would regularly kick his ass weekly in the old days.
• Ambiguously Human: "SMG4's Origins" reveals that he and SMG3 came from massive flash drives filled with memes that made people crazy, making it unclear if they're aliens or some kind of personification of memes.
• Amnesiac Hero: In "Mario Babies", it's revealed that he doesn't remember anything prior to his first appearance in "Account Loss". "SMG4's Origins" reveals why; he came from a massive, meme-filled flash drive that fell from the sky into the Mushroom Kingdom that turned (almost) everyone else into crazy idiots.
• Anti-Villain: In "Mario's Illegal Operation". He only works as a member of the Anime Secret Service due to a promise to Princess Peach and makes it clear that he doesn't really want to use force against Mario and the gang. He's later horrified at the fact that the anime ban forced Saiko to leave the Mushroom Kingdom in order to avoid persecution then, as "The Japan Trip" shows, helps her overturn the ban.
• Appropriated Appellation: According to this tweet, the reason that SMG4 made his new castle look like a circus tent was because everyone called him a clown, so he decided to embrace it.
• Art Evolution: Starting with IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT, SMG4's redesign was updated with a new model, which is more detailed and expressive than his old one. It also features some new design elements, such as blue eyes and an updated insignia.
• The Atoner: After his actions as a result of his insanity led to Peach's castle getting swallowed by an Eldritch Abomination in IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT, he resolves to make up for it by building a new and better castle. This drives the plot for several episodes in 2023 (Season 13).
• Audience? What Audience?: More than once he has spoken directly to the viewers, only for the camera to cut to a wide shot and reveal he's taking to a wall, with the rest of the cast looking at him like he's crazy.
• Author Avatar: Represents the character and the series as a whole. To avoid confusion, he's not the avatar. That's Mario. He also fails to recognize his real world counterpart in Revelations, but remarks that he looks strangely familiar.
• Ax-Crazy: A rare heroic version, but he can be quite unstable when pissed off. "MAR10 DAY" in particular has him go into a blind rampage on the Mar10 Day celebration with all of his pent-up fury for the sake of completing his "perfect video".
• Badass Adorable: He's nerdy, friendly, and takes on serial killers and other Ax-Crazy monsters on a daily basis, and trumps them regularly.
• Badass Normal: Unlike Mario, he doesn't have any weird powers. His wits and that is enough. Well, he's normal without SMG3. With him, they can control meme energy and empower Mario with it.
• Benevolent Boss: He's Mario's, and is extremely patient with him.
• Berserk Button: Don't touch his computer. Don't change the color of his gloves. Don't steal his password or give it to another person, especially if said culprit is SMG3. Most of all, DO NOT PISS OFF NINTENDO IN HIS NAME. Meggy learnt the last one the hard way.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's a Nice Guy, but don't get on his bad side.
• Big Eater: While not as much as Mario, he can still eat his fair share in food. "Mario University" reveals that he was the one who ate most of the food in the college cafeteria. And while waiting for a challenge to finish in "Mario Does Literally Anything For Views", a veritable mountain of McDonald's and pizza boxes can be seen behind him after a timeskip.
• Big Good: As the leader of the Glitchy Gang, as well as one of the few characters to be The Hero alongside Mario.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": Literally! In the same vein as Mario, his hat is emblazoned with a blue "S".^note  Pre-2022, as a Mario recolor, his model would sometimes have Mario's red "M" instead, but that was a production oversight.
• Butt-Monkey: Not usually, but he does catch hell in a few episodes.
• Cain and Abel: The Abel to SMG3's Cain.
• Character Catchphrase: "Goddammit, (insert character here)!"
• Characterization Marches On: When his primary role was to be Mario's Straight Man he was more grumpy and aloof, not really leaving the castle much. Somewhere around 2019, he became more jovial and sociable.
• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Often serves as this to Mario.
• Cosmic Keystone: We're shown that SMG4 making meme videos is very crucial for the universe.
• The Comically Serious: At least when around Mario.
• A Day in the Limelight: "The Day SMG4 Posted Cringe" and "SMG4 Runs Out Of Memes", among other earlier ones. "The Japan Trip" counts too, mostly through not sharing his screentime with Mario.
• Deadpan Snarker: Only when dealing with Mario's silliness. Usually he's pretty average.
• Death Glare: Gives these to Mario and SMG3 all the time.
• Demonic Possession: After he starts working on his "Perfect Video", he starts losing his sanity, alienates himself from his friends while becoming increasingly aggressive and continues to keep saying "It's gotta be perfect" and eventually writes it repeatedly on the walls of his room with a 100 hour livestream of him working showing his workspace continuing to get darker every 24 hours. When SMG3 and Meggy attempt to try and snap him out of it during an announcement video however, he appears to have actually been expecting them while saying "it's gotta be perfect" three times as his face becomes nightmarish the third time while strange symbols appear around him and his voice gets as deep as it did when he used the anti-meme energy in the Revelations movie.
• Depending on the Writer: The series has few writers (mostly Kevin), but he still falls into this.
  • He can either be hanging out in the castle or out actively filming videos.
  • He can either act as Mario's minder or be just as insane as him.
• Depraved Kids' Show Host: He's one of these in "Ssenmodnar 12: Stolen Spaghetti Edition".
• Deuteragonist: Normally has this role in arcs where Mario is the main protagonist like The Waluigi Arc and The YouTube Arc.
• Does Not Like Spam: He hates spaghetti.
• Drunk with Power: Ends up admitting that anti-meme energy feels good when he and SMG3 absorb it in Revelations and they almost kill Melony and themselves trying to attack the former's ship with that power.
• The Ditz: When he's this he can be just as stupid as Mario.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Downplayed, as he had these powers with him the whole time, but he couldn't use them until he learned to work with SMG3.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • He may be really annoyed with SMG3 whenever he does something evil but, after the Genesis Arc, he does not want SMG3 dead.
  • Nintendo is the one company he will not mess with, as he knows that one wrong move can cost him and the others dearly. He's notably terrified when he learns about Meggy's Big Damn Heroes moment, knowing they will retaliate severely, and "Mario Can't Play With You Anymore…" proves that Nintendo can and will get nasty when someone crosses them.
• Flanderization: With the introduction of Meggy and other characters to play foil to Mario's foolishness, he went from being the well-rounded straight man and foil to Mario's antics to simply "the meme man" as of 2017. The Cosmology Saga created new depths with his meme man persona, including further explorations of his true origins.
• Foil: To Mario, most of the time. To SMG3 for the rest.
• Foreshadowing: During the Lawsuit Arc, his temporary IP contract changes him into a form that resembles his appearance outside the show (i.e. posters and merch). At the end of the arc, he takes on this form permanently to avoid any more trouble with Nintendo.
• Freak Out:
  • Undergoes one in "Problematic Pipe Problems" from the thought of becoming an old man. It persists for the rest of the blooper, to the point where he goes into a pipe labelled "Gay bar" instead of the actual exit.
  • Has another one during "Freddy's Ultimate Custom Spaghetteria" when the flood of comments telling him to make the blooper become too much.
  • Has one when he realizes that he can't remember his past at the end of "Mario Babies".
  • He has a massive one at the end of MAR10 Day when the wi-fi router gets knocked out after spending several weeks locked in his room, resulting in him beating up Wario and Waluigi, throwing everyone out of the castle, fixing the router with little effort, and chewing out Mario and the gang before returning to his room.
• The Hero: Alongside Mario, he has the most appearances in the series, being around since the first season and appearing in a large majority of the show’s episodes. He also shares this role with Melony in the Cosmology Lore Trilogy, with him being the primary focus of the saga alongside the other SMGs.
• Ink-Suit Actor: His design from WOTFI 2022 onward is heavily based on Luke Lerdwichagul. Even before this design became his official look in the show, most merchandise of SMG4 resembled Luke more than Mario to avoid copyright infringement.
• Innocent Blue Eyes: With the exception of his design between the Lawsuit Arc and "It's Gotta Be Perfect", he has these, and is sort of the Big Good of the series.
• Leitmotif: The Super Mario Land overworld theme. Not only is the theme often used for the end credits, but some of his standalone scenes use it, like when he's advertising for help editing his videos in "How To Train Your Mario", and in IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT where a depressing piano version plays as he mourns the loss of Peach's castle. As icing on the cake, his 10th Anniversary Song is the theme With Lyrics.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: When pissed off. Doubly so if it involves SMG3.
• Light Is Good: He wears white overalls, in contrast to SMG3's black.
• Madness Mantra: Starting from "Mario Steals The Constitution", he keeps muttering "It's gotta be perfect" repeatedly, primarily while working on his "perfect video".
  SMG4: It's gotta be perfect...it's gotta be perfect...
• Manly Tears: Sheds these in "IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT" when he witnesses the destruction of Peach's castle and apologizes to his friends for causing it.
• Morality Pet: To Mario, barely.
• Nice Guy: Other than the times he gets frustrated with Mario's stupidity or Jerkass behavior, he's pretty friendly and outgoing.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
  • His suspicions about SMG3's new studio in Mario's Spicy Day 🔥 end up being unfounded, and winds up driving SMG3 back into villainy, making him the Arc Villain of the YouTube Arc.
  • His Sanity Slippage when working on his "perfect video" leads to a chain of events that get Peach's castle destroyed... permanently, this time.
• Nice Mean And In Between: Is the "In Between" of a trio with Mario and Luigi. While a pretty affable and sane guy most of the time, pissing him off is still a really bad idea. He's also not above going along with Mario's crazy antics from time to time.
• Not What I Signed on For: During the Anime Arc, he's initially in favor of Peach's anime ban and joins the Anime Secret Service, serving as a Hero Antagonist throughout the majority of "Mario's Illegal Operation". When he discovers that said ban also applies to animesque characters like Saiko, he's disgusted and quits, stating outright that he never would've joined the A.S.S. had he known that was the case.
• Palette Swap: One of the most famous examples. He is (or was) a recolor of Mario with a blue shirt and white overalls, contrasting Mario's red shirt and blue overalls.^note  There turns out to be a very important reason for this – He is actually a Super Meme Guardian, a being who copies the form of their avatar, Mario in SMG4's case. According to Luke, his color scheme was a completely random choice, and he had no idea Stanley and the host of the Super Mario Challenge had the same color scheme. This ends up being subverted at the end of the Lawsuit Arc, as SMG4 is forced to permanently change his appearance as a stipulation of winning the case.
• The Perfectionist: Slowly becomes this after "SMG4... Are You OK?" as he begins to work on his "perfect video". It's heavily implied that Demonic Possession might have a hand in this though.
• Person of Mass Construction: In "Final Fantasy Mario", he uses his new An Ice Person magic to create handy things (a Living Snowman, a giant Freezie, a defensive glacier wall, etc.) for himself, Mario, and Meggy.
• Prone to Tears: This is especially evident in the post-Lawsuit Arc episodes.
• Punny Name: People often forget that his (original) full name is a pun on Super Mario 64. Even SMG4 himself doesn’t remember this (but Luke does).
• Rage Breaking Point: The internet going out near the end of "MAR10 Day" thanks to Wario's Hostile Show Take Over is the final straw for him, to the point where he kicks everyone sans his main friends out, and even throws out an actual Precision F-Strike at Mario before locking himself back in his room.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Mario's red. This is further emphasized by the color of their hats.
• Sanity Slippage:
  • After the 10 year anniversary special, he isolates himself in the castle's basement for two weeks and spends his time there theorizing heavily on Zero, quickly driving himself into insanity.
  • After "SMG4... Are You OK?", he isolates himself in his room to work heavily on his "perfect video", quickly pushing himself to the brink of insanity. It gets so bad that SMG3 has to fill in for him to do the Enforced Plug for "Mario Steals The Constitution". Come the ending of "MAR10 DAY", SMG4 has completely lost his cool, and expresses it with such harsh force by screaming at the top of his lungs at everyone, beating the hell out of Wario and Waluigi, kicking everyone out of the castle, restarting the router with little effort, and cursing out Mario when he tries to tell him about the main event. Major props to Luke Lerdwichigual for his impressive performance during the scene. However, the video released afterwards heavily implied that Demonic Possession might be a factor in his insanity.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: As of the Cosmology Saga, he's the Sensitive Guy to SMG3's Manly Man.
• Series Mascot: He is the face of the franchise, from the channel icon to his hat being the series' logo.
• Serious Business: Memes are everything to him, both in the bloopers and in real life.
  "Don't forget the memes!"
• Spontaneous Mustache: Although his post-WOTFI 2022 design normally lacks facial hair, he can still grow a moustache on the spot whenever he needs to do a Mario-style Wild Take.
• Suddenly Voiced: Originally silent outside of voice clips, starting in 2019, Luke voices his character. While initially in the short-phrase style over full sentences like Tari, this evolved into full voice acting by 2020.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: During the announcement video released after the 100 hour live stream, SMG3 and Meggy find him even more insane than before. When SMG3 confronts him, SMG4 was seemingly expecting them and continues to say his Madness Mantra with the last shot of him showing him with a nightmare face and symbols similar to the one's SMG0 had in the buildup to WOTFI 2021.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: His gradual Sanity Slippage following "SMG4... Are You OK?" leads to him becoming more and more anti-social and shunning himself out from the rest of his friends and refusing to partake in their activities in favor of trying to create his perfect video. It got to the point where he even derailed a Mario Does Things video to continue working on the perfect video on Mario's computer thanks to the internet being down on his end. It reached its head during "MAR10 DAY" where he goes on a mindless rampage after Wario's Hostile Show Takeover during the Mar10 Day party knocks out the internet router, and ends with him lashing out at the others. The following movie, however, does imply that this had something to do with Demonic Possession from his Completely Regular Keyboard. He does get better once his actions lead to the castle being destroyed and promptly consumed by the keyboard.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Pineapple pizza, much to everyone else’s chagrin.
• Wonder Twin Powers: By holding hands with his partner Guardian, they can channel the meme energy of the universe to Reality Warper levels. Unfortunately, his partner Guardian is his mortal enemy SMG3, and neither is happy with the arrangement. They get more comfortable with it later on.
• You Were Trying Too Hard: Often ends up falling victim to this when trying to increase his popularity, particularly in videos like "SMG4 Runs Out Of Memes" and "Mario Does Literally Anything For Views". Taken to the extreme in "SMG4... Are You Okay?" where when SMG3 genuinely succeeds SMG4 in terms of popularity that he gets recognized by "Mr. Yeast", SMG4 becomes so obsessed with improving his channel's popularity that he completely forgets that quality is better than quantity and ends up going completely downhill, necessitating that SMG3 of all people had to put him back on the right track. Unfortunately, this time it has the opposite effect on him and he starts working on his "Perfect Video" at the cost of his sanity while alienating himself from his friends and becoming increasingly aggressive with it later being implied that Demonic Possession might also be a factor in this.

---

• Anti-Villain: Unlike Waluigi and Bob beforehand, she's not openly malicious or villainous. Her reason for banning anime is more of a desire to protect her kingdom (and her castle) if anything. She also allows those who are fighting for the unbanning of anime to make their case and is ultimately convinced by them to let it be unbanned.
• Art Shift:
  • Lampshaded in "Castle Royale", when she becomes so happy she turns into an animated GIF.
• Arc Villainess: Became one of these with "Mario's Illegal Operation", as she made the law banning anime forever in the first place, and keeps her position for half of the Anime Arc.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension: Her and Mario's relationship is, for the most part, the two driving each other completely insane. Mario sees a punching bag with her face on it and alternates between punching it and humping it. Make of that what you will. However, apparently they had sex a few times in the older eras, if Mario walking out of her bedroom naked (granted this isn't exactly unique or unusual for Mario on the daily-o) in one episode is an indication, meaning at least prior to the relationship dissolving, they did find a healthy catharsis.
• Berserk Button:
  • Oh boy, if you throw a party in her castle while she's on vacation and she finds out...
  • If you wreck her castle, a fate that might lead you to be banned from her birthday party. Mario had to find that out the hard way. The mere fact that an anime battle destroyed the castle in "Mario and the Anime Challenge" leads her to ban it forever.
  • She gets angry over a load of pipes, and tells you to fix every pipe you notice, as revealed in "Problematic Pipe Problems".
  • If you call her a bitch as shown in "The Toad, the Fat and the Ugly", get ready to regret it.
  • If you also sell her clothes as shown in "Mario For Hire" she'll be very angry.
  • Don't try to ruin her days out, she will maim you.
  • Prevent her from watching Super Mario Twilight? Prepare to die.
  • Don't tell her to give you her butt or make you a sandwich. She will slap you.
• Beware the Nice Ones: When her castle is destroyed.
• Big Bad Ensemble: With Francis in the Anime Arc.
• Big Creepy-Crawlies: Heavy exposure to the Demonic Goop transforms her into a horrific, multi-legged monster whose sole instinct is to kill.
• Big Damn Heroes: She, of all people, saves everyone from the T-Pose Virus.
• Boss Subtitles: "Malice Transformed Beast", after becoming mutated by the demonic goop.
• Butt-Monkey: She frequently gets abused by Mario, kidnapped by Bowser, etc.
• Character Tic: As of 2020, it's screaming whenever she's angry, which is now nearly all the time.
• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: To Mario in most of her earlier appearances when SMG4 isn't around.
• Conflict Killer: In "Food Wars", where she returns from her vacation early and promptly goes berserk at the castle being such a mess, forcing Team Pizza and Team Candy to team up to stop her.
• Damsel in Distress: As she is in the canon Mario series, although it happens slightly less often in later videos.
• Demonic Possession: "Let's Go Visit Peach!" reveals that exposure to the Demonic Goop for four months has turned her into... this. Yes, it is certainly not pretty.
• Disc-One Final Boss: She may have been successfully persuaded into unbanning anime, but Meggy still has unfinished business at Splatfest. And a kidnapping, too.
• The Dreaded: To Mario, due to simply getting in his way, forcing him to work, and denying him spaghetti otherwise. He convinces Donkey Kong to abduct her in retaliation in "SMG4: Mario VS Donkey Kong".
• Dreadful Musician: Her singing voice is akin to a Toad screeching in the A Whole New World parody Axol walks her through.
• Fantastic Racism:
  • Despises Steve for being an illegal Mexican immigrant and wants him out of the Mushroom Kingdom as shown in "Meet the Steve".
  • Her ban of anime in "Mario's Illegal Operation" extends to anime characters, including Saiko. Fortunately, she realizes the error of her ways and rescinds the ban.
• Feral Villain: Gets turned into this after being corrupted by the demonic goop in "Let's Go Visit Peach", only being able to communicate through monstrous screeches.
• Flanderization: After the Anime Arc, she becomes sort of a naggy housewife/mother figure similar to Lois Griffin or Wanda.
• God Save Us from the Queen!: When she gets really angry.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: As seen under Berserk Button, she is rather easily angered.
• The Heavy: The A.S.S. for Peach during Part 1 of the arc, since Peach herself is a Non-Action Big Bad and an Orcus On Her Throne.
• Heel–Face Turn: After a confrontation from Axol and Boopkins, she embraces the good that anime can bring and calls off the ban.
• Moral Guardians: An extreme example in that Peach deports anyone who looks like an anime character when she becomes one of these in the Anime Arc.
• Non-Action Big Bad: As an Arc Villainess, banning anime is literally all she does. She otherwise remains in her castle, while the A.S.S. do most of the heavy lifting for her.
• Not Quite Dead: At the end of "IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT", she's trapped in her castle as it's being swallowed by a giant monster, with no means of escape. Come "The Stupid Mario Movie", not only does she survive this, she's building a shuttle to escape. By the time of '"Let's Go Visit Peach!" however, she seems to have succumbed to the madness of the demonic monster.
• Odd Couple: With Dr. Eggman of all people in "Egg and Peach". She winds up almost marrying him too, but has last-second doubts that prevent her from going through with it.
• Older Than She Looks: "Meet the Bowser" indicates that she is actually older than 30.
• One-Winged Angel: Takes on a particularly horrific one when Mario fails at his chores. It can best be described as a screaming Goomba with Peach's body parts.
• Only Sane Woman: In "Stupid Mario 3D World" and some of her other earlier appearances. This might even be an exaggeration; it's implied in "SMG4's Origins" that she was the only one unaffected by SMG4's appearance, although she has clearly lost a bit of her sanity from dealing with everyone's antics. This no longer seems like the case if "Let's Go Visit Peach!" is any indication.
• Orcus On Her Throne: After banning anime, the A.S.S. do most of the heavy lifting. Peach herself is only seen again at her throne room, even willing to listen to Mario and Co. make their case on why she should lift the ban.
• Otaku: Courtesy of Boopkins. She went on a shopping trip to buy manga in "Mario Does the Chores".
• Out of Focus: Peach was given less screentime and character focus after 2017 when Meggy became the most prominent female character.
  • Inverted in the Anime Arc where she plays a major role in the first half, then again in "Stupid Mario 3D World" where she even lampshades her lack of appearances.
• Put on a Bus to Hell: An almost literal example at the end of "It's Gotta Be Perfect". She's still asleep when her castle is sunken and devoured by a demonic entity with her still inside. While she originally tries to escape her sinking castle, the gang later learn that the Demonic Goop mutated her into a monster that has lost all sentient thought and are forced to leave her behind in the castle ruins.
• Satellite Character: She became this to Mario after her screentime diminished, mostly existing via her interactions with him. She hardly has even talked to any of the new character additions after Axol.
• Sanity Slippage: Unlike everybody else in the series bar the SM Gs, she was the only one not to be affected by SMG4's arrival. However, after years of dealing with Mario, this fact has been diminished as she is now stuck in a state of near-permanent rage and exasperation with everybody's antics. She appears to have finally lost all sense of sanity come "Let's Go Visit Peach!".
• The Smurfette Principle: Peach was the main recurring female character until Meggy took her place in late 2017.
• Sore Loser: Doesn't take losing very well.
• Ungrateful Bitch: Is sometimes portrayed as this, one notable instance being where she criticized Mario for being too slow to save her in "If Mario Was In... Anime", and another in the Revelations movie where she gets angry at Mario for throwing her Toads into a truck, completely unaware that Mario was helping save them from the very obvious apocalypse that they're in.
• Vetinari Job Security: She takes a vacation twice and both times she returns to find that her kingdom is in ruins. The first was during the Waluigi Arc when she discovered that everyone except Mario had become T-pose zombies, forcing her to use 1-Up Mushrooms to save them. The second is when she handed over duties to Toadsworth (giving him her crown to boot), who shortly after gets sucked into a black hole by Mario's new pet rock wizard. At first, Mario ran the kingdom well albeit grudgingly despite being a ditz but then he let the power go to his head, causing the kingdom to become one ruled under his tyranny.
• Villain Has a Point: Her reason for banning anime is because of the constant destruction the anime battles caused. Though this is undermined by her banning actual people from her kingdom.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: In the Anime Arc, where she bans anime because Mario and friends caused a bunch of destruction from their anime battles and to keep it from happening again.

Toad

Toad

Voiced by: Samantha Kelly (voice clips), Arin Hanson

First appearance: "The cake is a lie!" (2011)

"Oh! Hey, Mario!"

A humanoid fungus that resides in the castle alongside the Mario Bros, specifically the one that stands in the main hall of the castle. He dislikes Mario and his own life.

---

• Adaptational Jerkass: Is absolutely nothing like his canon counterpart, being the nastiest, grumpiest, and most mean-spirited of all the main characters. He suffers for it, however.
• Art Evolution: In some episodes, he gets a model similar to fellow Toads, Toadette and Frankie, which is far cleaner than his Mario 64 model. Needless to say, it hasn't stopped his old model from still being used through the newer episodes, with some episodes ("Mario's Train Trip") using both models.
• Art Shift: Just like some of the other main characters sometimes appears as his SM64 model and other times as his Gmod model.
• Body Horror: During the events of "It's Gotta Be Perfect", he ends up mutating with his legs getting longer as a result and causing him to become hostile.
• Butt-Monkey: Probably the least fortunate character in SMG4.
• Crossdresser: Was forced to wear makeup and goes by "Toadee" by SMG4 in an attempt to show he had a girlfriend in a 2015 QnA.
• The Chew Toy: One of the most frequent victims of the Glitchy Gang's shenanigans. It's especially pronounced following his being Demoted to Extra, only showing up to have some type of misfortune befall him.
• The Cynic: When not high on candy or coffee.
• Demoted to Extra: After his complete absence from "The Anime Arc", Toad has been reduced to a cameo character.
• Depending on the Writer:
  • Either he's a bitter sadistic cynic, or an insane hyperactive nuisance. "Meet the Toad" reveals this is from his candy addiction. His high turns him into a spaz while he returns to his cynical personality otherwise.
  • Related to his reaction to Justin Bieber; he can either like him or dislike him. On one occasion he reads a Justin Bieber magazine and later loses it.
• The Dog Bites Back: He's the series' go-to Butt-Monkey, but it's been shown multiple times that he can become a legitimate threat when he's decided he's had enough. "President Toad Washington" is one such example.
• Freudian Excuse: The entirety of "Meet the Toad" is one for him. He's revealed to be one of the few Toads of the kingdom to have a mind of his own, which also means he has to take in all the insanity and abuse that the world he lives in has to offer. He has also tried to flee the Mushroom Kingdom hundreds of times, only for all attempted escapes to be foiled by Mario. This results in a depressed, nihilistic individual whose only outlet of happiness is getting high off candy.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: He's treated as one in-universe and is the biggest example of this in the whole series. Justified as he's obnoxious, inconsiderate, lazy, incredibly selfish and just an all-around douche - or he's a disruptive, hyperactive annoyance when he's on a sugar high.
• Greed: One of his more noticeable traits. Money seems to be one of the only things he actually cares about besides himself; it also makes him act like even more of an asshole than he already is.
  • He first shows this in "Toad Gold" when he finds a huge cache of gold under the castle grounds and becomes extremely wealthy; he immediately begins abusing his new-found fortune and power to do whatever he wanted, including buying Peach's castle and banning the other characters from it.
  • Even more so in "Stupid Mario Party", where he uses Mario and the others to get money, putting them through increasingly painful minigames with the promise of giving whoever earns him the most cash a Gold Star. He scolds them whenever they lose even the smallest amount of money and extends this plot over three weeks when he extends the "party" by 5000 minigames when they lose a game after landing on a Bowser Space. When Luigi actually wins, the Gold Star Toad promised turns out to be fake. Mario is not amused.
  • In Meggy's Destiny: An SMG4 Movie, after Meggy wins the final Splatfest, Toad seems a little infatuated in the trophy.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Quite the irritable one, especially whenever he comes into contact with Mario or Frankie.
• Iron Butt Monkey: He's survived whatever the others had thrown at him, even getting his house blown up by Steve!
• Jerkass: While he wasn't the nicest guy in the early videos, Toad became a massive one in his later appearances. He's hateful, selfish (even more so than Mario at times), generally miserable, often complaining about everything and insulting everyone, and grumpy and rude without provocation.
• Jerkass Has a Point:
  • His disdain for Mario isn't too surprising considering Mario is a massive Heroic Comedic Sociopath whose antics often threaten Toad's life and sanity.
  • While he's rancorous to others for trivial reasons, he's right about Saiko being dangerous in "Doki Doki Mario Club" and he tells Boopkins needs to end the relationship sooner rather than later. Considering that he has Toadette to deal with, it's safe to say Toad's warnings come from a valid place.
  • In "The Mario Purge", he vocally objects to letting Bob into the castle on the grounds that Bob wouldn't do the same for them… which is a fair assumption since Bob is known for being a backstabbing coward. Mario backs up Toad on this, citing how Bob left him and Luigi to the mercy of the T-Pose Zombies.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he's often a 24/7 dickhole to them, it's been shown multiple times that Toad does care for his "friends", most prominently shown in both "Mushrooms & Morons: Quest For The Spaghetti of Power", where he protects Luigi from a goblin, and "The Most Important Thing", where even he looks remorseful for ditching Bob after the latter went through a Heel–Face Turn.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Of course, most of the time when he participates in a noble act, it's for selfish reasons or because he was forced to. An example is in "The Melancholy of Fishy Boopkins", where he is the only one who doesn't care about Boopkins' depression, only helping because Luigi was paying him.
• Karmic Death: These days, whenever Toad is being an insufferable ass, expect him to suffer humiliating injury or death for it.
• Kick The Son Of A Bitch: There are instances where he's just as much a pain to Mario as Mario is to him. On a more impressive note, he killed Sephiroth by stabbing him through the back, the same way Aerith died in "Final Fantasy" and how Desti died.
• Made of Explodium: Happens... quite a few times.
• Only Sane Man: When he isn't eating candy.
• Out of Focus: Same as Bowser. In his case, he didn't appear in the Anime Arc at all.
• President Evil: He became president for a day in "President Toad Washington" and became this.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: He dislikes Mario, to the point that Toad wants him dead.
• Token Evil Teammate: He's the most selfish and obnoxious of the main characters.
• Took a Level in Badass: Somehow made a Transformers robot in "Mario University". Later seen in "Mario Battle Royale", where it delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to at least 5 competitors.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Candy. He's quite obsessed with it, and it's implied to be one of the few things that give him happiness.
• Unexplained Recovery: Just like Peach, he was last seen in the hallway of the castle after being defeated before it sinks into the ground for good. His appearance in "You Made Mario Do This" confirms that he escaped before that happened, but it's never explained how.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: As shown "Mario Goes to DIDNEY WORL" and "Mario vs IT", his opinions on Toadette go beyond mere hatred into being full-on horrified of her.

Bowser

Bowser

Voiced by: Kenny James & Scott Burns (voice clips), David Philips (WOTFI 2016 rap battle)

First appearance: "Dreams" (2011)

"Bitch, I'm fabulous!"

A koopa menace to of the Mushroom Kingdom who's always trying to kidnap Princess Peach. He later became one of Mario's friends.

---

• Abusive Dad: How he treats Bowser Jr. as demonstrated in "A Day In The Life Of Everyone". Deconstructed in "Bowser Loses Custody Of His Children", where said attitude with both Jr. and the Koopalings causes them to be taken away due to being such a bad father, needing to go to parenting counseling to reclaim them.
• Adaptational Heroism: While canon Bowser could be Affably Evil at times, he was still a villain bent on kidnapping Peach and taking over the world. Here, while Bowser starts off vaguely similar to his canon incarnation, he quickly softens up into a Nice Guy and a loyal (if slightly vitriolic) friend to Mario.
• Adaptational Wimp: Unlike Nintendo's official version (who, despite his own silly moments, still has a crapload of impressive Near-Villain Victories on his resume), this Bowser is... not very effective.
• Affably Evil: After his appearance in "Hotel Mario", he doesn't come off as a villain in the majority of future episodes. "The Bowser that stole Christmas." was his first antagonistic role in a while, and it was only because he didn't get any presents from Santa. There are also episodes where he doesn't pose as a threat to the Mushroom Kingdom, but still opposes Mario in some kind of conflict.
• Anti-Villain: Not only is he a pretty nice guy, he really sucks at kidnapping the princess or just villainy in general, hence why he likely just gave up altogether and became a friend to the heroes.
• Arch-Enemy: To Mario in the episodes where he plays as an antagonist, as in canon. Note this was before Growing the Beard.
• Art Shift: Thanks to the existence of a Garry's Mod model of his Super Mario 64 appearance, this is for the most part averted. However in a few cases he's shown as a sprite of himself from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and more commonly, his original Mario Party model.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: When he became giant in "A SM64 Fairytale"'s final part, happens again in "Stupid Bowser's Fury".
• Attention Whore: Stated to be a reason why he wants to kidnap the princess.
• Berserk Button: As "Stupid Bowser's Fury" reveals, he really doesn't like people acting like cats. Notably unlike most others, he did make an attempt to calm down rather than snap, but when he orders an Uber Eats meal to calm down and the delivery guys misreads his name as "Cowser", along with Boopkins's god-awful voice...
• Big Bad Wannabe: He tries to kidnap the princess like canon, and he is a pretty recurring antagonist, but he sucks at it and is overall more a wacky goofball than a Big Bad.
• The Big Guy: Easily the largest main-cast member, especially with his Super Mario 64 model.
• The Bully: Sometimes, but most of the time he is pretty friendly.
• Butt-Monkey: His life is almost as bad as Luigi's.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: Yeah, Bowser is a straight up goofball, just like Mario, which likely plays a hand in his and Mario's frenemy relationship.
• Demoted to Dragon: In-Universe example: He was demoted to secondary villain in "Two Evil Friends" because his evil plans constantly failed, and SMG3 was made the main villain.
• Depending on the Writer: He can either be a serious threat to the kingdom (or Mario) or a borderline dumbass.
• Driven to Suicide: Sometimes (mostly by Mario). Though as the years went on, the chances of having Mario even suggest Bowser do this has diminished.
• The Ditz: Sometimes, he can be just as ditzy as even Mario! Of course, most of the time, he's the smarter of the two.
• Everyone Has Standards: Even he found Steve's story in "The 2Spooky Story" to be weird.
  Bowser: Um, I lost him at pie. What's he going on about?
• Evil Is Petty: Well, if you consider him evil. Taken to extremes in "The Mario Mafia". Mario didn't invite him to his party? Send a Goomba to tip over his spaghetti.
• Facial Horror: His "BAOZA" face (as shown above). Just look at it!
• Foreshadowing: He may often make an early cameo in a blooper featuring him before his actual major appearance in the blooper. "The Visitor" and "The Lie That Was a Cake That Is a Lie" show examples of this.
• Flat Character: In the later bloopers, Bowser doesn't really do much aside from cooking due to being overshadowed by later characters.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Not as bad as Toad, but Bowser isn't well-liked by most of the cast. That's slowly changed throughout the years. He was even invited along for the group's 2019 Christmas trip to Miami, although due to his size he had to be tied to the roof of the bus.
• Go-Karting with Bowser: Or cooking with him. "The 2Spooky Story" sees him join the main cast in telling ghost stories on Halloween. Mario almost literally invites him to do so in "Mario Can't Play With You Anymore" after Bowser has been reverted back to his canon personality but Mario hasn't (yet).
• Harmless Villain: Most of his threats aren't a serious problem to the Mushroom Kingdom. In fact some of them are completely harmless.
• Heel–Face Turn:
  • It's implied in "Hotel Mario" that he was kicked out of his castle by his own minions, and was forced to live in the dumpster behind the Mario Bros.' house:
    Bowser: see it's a funny story why i'm here… my troops sorta kicked me out of the whole evil thing so now i live here.
  • "SwagQuest" and "The Bowser That Stole Christmas" both confirm that Bowser did eventually get his castle back, complete with his troops (likely via threat or beatdown Despite this and Bowser still regularly kidnapping Peach every now and then, he's still a friend of the main cast.
• Horrible Judge of Character: He is constantly manipulated by SMG3.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Not very effective without the aid of SMG3.
  Bowser: Hey, I'll have you know I kidnapped a princess... for two minutes.
• It's All About Me: Won't hesitate to brag about how "fabulous" he is from time to time.
• They Killed Kenny Again: In more modern episodes, Bowser is always on the receiving end of a fatal attack, be it getting skeletonized by burning, taking a bazooka to the face, or being beaten senseless for bring Chinese food to a party, yet always appears in the next episode, completely unscathed.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Well, he used to be this, then he became an Affably Evil Nice Guy.
• Laughably Evil: He eventually lost the "evil" part.
• Manly Tears: He cries a lot.
• Nice Guy: After "Hotel Mario", he came off as less of a villain and his Affably Evil nature was exaggerated to the point of this.
• Out of Focus: His appearances decreased significantly starting in 2019. Nowadays, he's lucky to even get an appearance over the OCs.
• Papa Wolf:
  • Despite his constant abuse and neglect of them, Bowser is horrified to learn he lost custody of Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings and is more than motivated to get an A in Peach's parenting class to get them back.
  • Moreover downplayed, but his relationship with Meggy can also be seen as this at times (eg giving her a floatie to help her swim in "Stupid Mario Sports Mix" and helping her cook a Thanksgiving meal in "Mario And The Bob Mansion...").
• Poke the Poodle: Ironically enough, this is at his worst.
• Real Men Cook: In "Cooking with Bowser & Mario 2", he successfully prepares some ravioli (by throwing a bag of Doritos onto an oven). Also demonstrated in "High School Mario" where he can bake a multi-layered cake pretty well.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. While he possesses red eyes, he’s overall too incompetent to be an actual threat.
• The Rival: To Eggman for Peach's love in "Egg and Peach".
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Whenever he acts as The Bully.
• Stalker with a Crush: To Peach in the earlier videos.
• Super Drowning Skills: In "Stupid Mario Sports Mix", he needs a floatie to stay afloat in water.
• Too Dumb to Live: Many times. Not knowing what shampoo was definitely counts.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Chicken nuggets, as first implied by his musical number in "Mushroom Kingdom's Got Talent" and then fully confirmed in "Stupid Mario Odyssey 2".
• Troll: Once kidnapped Peach while Mario was talking about how she wasn't captured in a while.
• Villain Protagonist: Despite sometimes being a bad guy, he is one of the shows' main characters.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Whenever they aren't fighting over Peach, Bowser is actually great friends with Mario. Even during their feud with each other in "The Mario Mafia", they forgive each other and hug it out.
• Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Bowser gets a big one in "Son of a Bowser" when he, his son, and Mario watch Super Mario Twilight and witness a sex scene between Mario and Bowser, the latter of which showers the entire room in vomit. Can anyone blame him? It happens again when Bowser Junior suggests they watch SMT's many sequels right after the movie ends, and happens one last time when Bowser and Mario finally agree to it at the end of the video.

Luigi

Luigi

Voiced by: Charles Martinet (voice clips), Kevin Lerdwichagul (MarioTube 2), David Phillips (WOTFI rap battles + "Breaking Luigi")

First appearance: "quest for a console" (2011)

You are gay.

Mario's younger brother, the deuteragonist of the Classic era and the tritagonist of the Modern era. He makes smarter decisions than Mario, but he's still as cowardly as he is in the actual games, if not more so. He is the Nintendo character in this show closest to his canon personality.

---

• Adaptational Dumbass: Despite being smarter than his more obviously stupid brother, he isn't very good at math. When he gets reverted to his original self in the Lawsuit Arc, this still applies as he believes Mario's lie that SMG4 and Meggy are his parents.
• Ambiguously Gay: Mario calls Luigi gay quite often, increasingly not without reason. Luigi is shown to be attracted to muscular men (like himself), reads the gay men's magazine Attitude, and uses the pride flag as the background of his shop's sign. However, he has never been shown to be attracted to any other male character in the series, while he did have a relationship early on with Princess Daisy.
• Art Evolution: In 2016, Luigi received a new appearance that altered his model's height, head, and mustache to distingush it from Mario's, and it replaced the bright neon green with a color more accurate to official canon Luigi. Previously, he had just been a Palette Swap of his brother.
• Art Shift: Much like his brother, he can be a Super Mario 64 character in one second, and a modernized Luigi in another. In a kart, he's represented as a plush doll (specifically the one from the Crane Game from Mario Party).
• Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence: Luigi gains the ability to transfer people's consciousness to the astral plane thanks to several weeks of meditation.
• Bald of Evil: When he gets triggered into Breaking Bad Mode. This also is one of the only times (if he isn't reduced to a skeleton) we see him without his trademark moustache.
• Berserk Button: No matter how many times he's thrown Luigi under the bus, never endanger Mario's life on his watch.
• Birds of a Feather: With Tari. Their bond over nonviolent matters (such as setting up a "no fighting" stand or hitting the Wario Bros. with toy mallets) is often played for laughs in the series… except when it isn't, namely the time they tried to break Kaizo's corruption of Saiko by The Power of Friendship and succeed.
• Butt-Monkey: He never seems to catch a break between sustaining many injuries and getting blamed for things he didn't do.
• Call to Agriculture: Starting with the Lawsuit Arc, Luigi has developed an interest in gardening.
• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: To Mario when SMG4, Peach, or Meggy aren't filling the role.
• Cowardly Lion: He acts timid and frightful most of the time, just like his video game counterpart.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Subverted in the Waluigi Arc. While it initially seemed he would burn to death in lava, it turns out it was just really warm watermelon flavored Kool-Aid.
• Deuteragonist: Was this before Meggy took the role in 2017, being the most recurring character besides Mario and SMG4. Even after Meggy joined the main cast, his role hasn't diminished nearly as much as other classic characters, so at most he’s just been demoted to the tritagonist role.
• The Dog Bites Back: Luigi generally bears the brunt of Mario's abuse, but he's not afraid to call him out or smack him around when he feels his brother's going too far with his antics. In fact, he can go up to taking revenge on Mario, as "TAKEN: Like An Idiot", "Mario For Hire", and "If Mario Was Spiderman" show.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Luigi is the Responsible Sibling to Mario's Foolish Sibling.
• Heroic Sacrifice:
  • Performs one in "Mario SAW" to ensure Mario survives the labyrinth, willingly dropping into rising lava. Subverted in that the lava he drops into is actually warm Kool-Aid and he's let free for this selfless act.
  • Attempts this again at the end of the PUZZLEVISION movie by diving in front of Mr Puzzle's energy blast to prevent it from hitting the rest of the crew. Can be considered Downplayed due to this getting him turned into his Meat Mallet form instead of killing him or even Subverted due to him considering that a good thing.
• Hidden Depths: Many.
  • Starting with "To Become A God", he began taking up meditation and quickly gained the power not only to ascend to the astral plane, but to take his friends' spirits there too. This proves critical for getting Meggy and Melony into Omnia Academy.
  • ANY time he takes off his shirt, we see just how muscular he is – when asked, he credits yoga. He's one of only two "normal" characters known to be able to lift Mario (Meggy is the other). Keep in mind Mario's weight is usually measured in tons and sometimes as infinity.
  • Apparently some time in his past he was a god-tier basketball player, but didn't enjoy the lifestyle and left it behind. Still, if the need arises, he can be "ballin’".
• Innocent Blue Eyes: One of the few members of the cast to play this trope completely straight. He, as in canon, has blue eyes, and is one of the most innocent members of the cast.
• Iron Butt Monkey: Luigi has taken a lot of punishment but always bounces back, up to and including being at ground zero of a nuclear explosion.
  Owwww...
• Let's Get Dangerous!: He has his moments. The 2013 Halloween special and "The Adventures of Mario and Luigi" show examples of this.
• Mistaken for Gay: Frequently, usually from Mario. Turns out he's bisexual. However, later seasons show him to lean towards the homo side more often and he is especially more open about it from 2021 onward, having put up pride colors on a few occasions, a modern example being from the ending of "We Don't Talk About Luigi" where the sign that Luigi put up on his flower shop has the pride flag.
• Nervous Wreck: Indeed he is. Exaggerated in some bloopers.
• New Job as the Plot Demands: Discussed Trope as shown in "Wild, Wild Mario", where he is stated to have at least 53 part-time jobs. He also stated this in "Detective Mario and Pikachu" and "The Corn Trip". Justified as he did it to pay for Mario's damages. Later on, as Mario himself became less destructive, Luigi took an interest in gardening and became good enough at it to open a flower shop.
• Nice Guy: No matter the situation, he's friendly through and through unless his Berserk Button is pressed. It's even his description on the wikia.
  He is often cheery, enthusiastic, fun, and ready to lend a helping hand.
• Nice Mean And In Between: Is the "Nice" part of a trio with Mario and SMG4, being mostly similar to the Cowardly Lion Nice Guy that he's portrayed as in the games.
• Only Sane Man: Easily the most accurate to his Nintendo counterpart of all the Mario characters, keeping most of his primary personality traits without any super major changes.
• Palette Swap: Until Art Evolution went underway, he was the only canon Mario character to be represented as one in this series (aside from Wario and Waluigi in their first appearance, and the rare one-off appearances of Daisy).
• Prone to Tears: He cries very often in SMG4's bloopers.
• Revenge:
  • On Mario in "Luigi's Payback".
  • He also did this in "Taken (like an idiot)".
  • Also in "Mario for Hire".
  • Taken further in "Mario and The Diss Track" when he informs everyone of what Bob did, and they decide to get back at him.
  • In "If Mario was Spiderman" he summons villains from other Spiderman dimensions to attack Mario after Mario caused him to get interdimentional powers. Downplayed when he makes up for it after the villains run loose.
• Something Else Also Rises: Usually his nose extends to indicate arousal.
• Spontaneous Mustache: Played with. Just like his older brother, Luigi obviously sports a moustache 99% of the time. In his case it's a spontaneous soul patch, only seen if he rips off his shirt or channels Walter White.
• Suddenly Voiced: As noted above, whenever he's in a rap battle or channeling Walter White, he'll have a human (David Phillips, a.k.a VoicesExtremus) act his lines.
• Synthetic Voice Actor: In 2021, he started using the Uberduck.ai Luigi voice for some of his lines, though the bulk of his lines as of the end of 2022 are still Charles Martinet voice clips (and of course a soundalike for the rap battles), just like Mario. This would stop once Uberduck.ai removed copyrighted character voices from the site in 2023.
• The Unintelligible: Like Mario, a LOT of his lines are Italian-esque gibberish with subtitles.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: Luigi, a wholesome guy anyway, is somehow able to wear clothes tailored to fit Peach (one dress of his ends up in her wardrobe by mistake) and is clearly happy when a Peach mask gives him her figure. Later on, he's shown doing the chores at his and Mario's home while wearing a sexy maid outfit, but the plot moves on before he is able to answer why.

Steve

Steve

First appearance: "world of craftmine" (2012)

^{Click here to see Captain Steve}

"Hi guys!!!"

The main character of Minecraft who made frequent appearances alongside the Mario characters in the bloopers until 2018. Also SMG4's favorite character according to a 2020 Q&A.

---

• Berserk Button:
  • Stealing or killing his chickens. Or any of his farm products.
  • Never say Minecraft is a bad game in front of him unless you want a fight, as Mario learned the hard way in "Mario VS Steve".
• Beware the Silly Ones: Despite his idiocy rivaling, if not surpassing Mario's, he's strong enough to punch an industrial crane a fair distance, and can go Super Saiyan 3 when sufficiently pissed off. He's even able to fight off the entire Super Smash Bros roster at that point and fights SANS to a stalemate. The official 5 million subs tier list classifies him as S-tier in terms of power, right next to Sans and Zero.
• Borrowed Catchphrase: His catchphrase is "Hi guys!", just like the happy-go-lucky Piranha Plant from Bowser's Kingdom who has the same name.
• Call to Agriculture: Steve has been portrayed as a farmer, and is actually fairly good at being one.
• Characterization Marches On: In earlier videos, Steve was portrayed as a crazy guy who slept in the gutter. Now, as mentioned above, he's a crazy guy who works in a farm.
• Composite Character: Previously, Herobrine and Steve were depicted as different entities. As of "Steve VS Smash Bros," Herobrine is Steve's One-Winged Angel form.
• Dark Horse Victory: Despite having the slowest "Yoshi" of the racers, he wins due to the other competitors getting distracted through fights while on the track.
• A Day in the Limelight: He's a central character in the old "super minecraft 64 bloopers" sub-series, "Meet the Steve" and "Mario VS Steve".
• Disproportionate Retribution: Picked a fight with Mario across the cosmos all because Mario thought Minecraft sucked.
• Fake Shemp: His dialogue is only through various voice clips.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Mario in "Mineswap", causing him to become a Mario Palette Swap.
• Misery Trigger: Whenever his chickens dying isn't someone else's fault, this occurs instead.
• Older Than He Looks: He's shown as an adult in a flashback where Luigi was a baby.
• Out of Focus: He was one of the main characters early on, but he's more of a minor gag character nowadays.
• President Evil: In "Ssenmodnar 9", he is a president doing wrong stuff like calling the wrong number & even blowing up Toad's house!
• Purple Is Powerful: His eyes are purple, and is one of the most powerful characters in the series, being ranked in S-Tier on the official Power level tier list.
• Too Dumb to Live: He confuses a complex piece of machinery for chocolate.
• Took a Level in Badass:
  • During "Mario Gladiators", where he's the penultimate foe Mario has to face. Steve builds a fortress to hide in and shoot at Mario. He isn't a good shot, but he does have an army of chickens with crossbows that shoot at Mario for him. Subverted later on. When Mario catches him off guard (playing Minecraft) Steve does nothing but attempt to ban Mario and gets a sword to the face.
  • The level of badass carries over to the next blooper, "The Mario Mafia". During the final battle, Steve disguised as a maid manages to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle to four Koopalings and Bowser Jr.
  • Said badass-ery makes a return in "Mario Goes to the Fridge...". Despite otherwise being a banjo-strumming farmer, he gets Toad of all people to back away from the milk.
  • He manages to defeat Mario completely and utterly in "Mario VS Steve", giving him a Super Saiyan 3-assisted beatdown and vaporizing him. This is after fighting with Mario throughout the entire video and tanking the moon crashing into the Mushroom Kingdom with no visible damage!
• The Unintelligible: In "Cooking with mario and bowser 3!".
• Voice Grunting: Only talks through various voice clips.
• The Voiceless: Steve has almost no text-based dialogue; almost all his current voices have been provided through voice clips. The only exceptions to this are "Super Mario Attorney" and WOTFI 2021.

Modern (Introduced: 2016 - present)

See this page for members of the main cast introduced after 2016.
