SMG3 starts an endless live stream but realizes he's trapped in it and needs to find a way out.

SMG3 wants to stream forever, but slowly learns life forever on tape isn't as good as it sounds. Thus, he resolves to find a way to get the endless stream to end.


Tropes

  • Accidental Murder: SMG3 accidentally cracks Eggdog open when cooking.
  • Advertised Extra: The video's thumbnail shows SMG3 and Mario trapped inside a computer monitor. Mario only has a minor role at the end of the video. The thumbnail was even temporarily changed to feature exclusively Mario in the monitor.
  • Allegedly Free Game: As a way to get "Luigi Gardening 3" to be profitable, Miyamoto sets the watering can as paid DLC.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: SMG3 wants to stream forever. Cue a long Montage of him slowly growing more depressed of constantly streaming, to the point he screams at the cameraman to stop.
  • Call-Back:
  • Covers Always Lie: The thumbnail for the video makes it seem like Mario and SMG3 are trapped inside of a computer. This never happens, and the plot is actually SMG3 trying to ward off a super persistent cameraman. The thumbnail was later temporarily changed to remove SMG3, but still kept Mario.
  • Curse Cut Short: When coming up with ideas to get SMG3 cancelled, SMG4 suggests swearing. When all SMG3 can manage is "ass", Mario demonstrates how to do it properly, but can only get as far as "NIIIIIIII-" before a Nintendo ninja drops in and shuts him up at gunpoint.
  • A Day in the Limelight: This episode focuses on SMG3's desire to be famous.
  • Faking the Dead: SMG3 tries this as one of his tricks to cancel the stream.
  • Hypocritical Humour: One of the people in chat calls Mario out for killing them while they were in the middle of killing a baby.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: SMG3 drives into the castle and hits Mario and SMG4 with his car. Neither of them care at all.
  • More Dakka: Mario pulls out a minigun and kills everyone else in the lobby when playing Shrek Online.
  • Naked People Are Funny: SMG4 and Mario trick SMG3 into getting into a pool naked to get cancelled.
  • Neck Snap: Miyamoto does this to Lakitu to get him to stop filming Mario.
  • Shout-Out: SMG3 basically reenacts the ending of The Truman Show in a way.
  • Take That!: When Miyamoto is making Super Luigi Gardening 3, he feels like it needs to have some mobile elements in the game. How does he do it? He takes Luigi's watering can and puts it inside a cage and puts a sign on top of it saying "WATERING CAN DLC $5.99".
  • The Worf Effect: Miyamoto cracks Lakitu's neck easily, after everything else SMG3 tried to do failed to get rid of him.
