History Characters / SMG4SMG4sGangModern

* TheFakeCutie: A rare male example. His redesign can look adorable as heck, or even laughable to some, but if one sees his personality...

* ThrowTheDogABone: Since his first appearance, he's often treated as TheFriendNobodyLikes and TheThingThatWouldNotLeave. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, anything he makes is trashy and unpopular]]. After the events of "Mario And... The Well" when he saved Fishy Boopkins from the titular well, his good deed gets rewarded; his [=SoundCloud=] receives dozens of followers and he has enough money to buy a mansion. [[spoiler:Its then revealed he masterminded it all to have it happen to him, but later gives it all up along with his rapping career to reform after the end of his arc.]]

** The Genesis Arc was even worse. He manages to fix Inkweaver with Mario's help in order to improve his show ''Two Piece'', but that's where his good luck ends. [[spoiler:Zero possesses him and uses him as a vessel to destroy the [=SMG4=] universe and create his own. Try as Axol might to drive his friends away, Zero's influence was too strong, and in the end, Melony had to ''put Axol down'' in order to save the universe. He knew he wouldn't be able to make it, and figured he may as well tell Melony how he felt about her in his final moments]].

* TheNicknamer: To literally everyone. Notable ones include "Red Tomato" (Mario), "Pickle" (Luigi), "beanie fish girl" (Meggy), "beanie human girl" after Meggy's HumanityEnsues, "Duck Nerd" (Tari), and "emo fish girl" (Desti). One of the only people he doesn't have a noteable nickname for is Melony, an indicator of how much he likes her.

** Despite being BookDumb in almost every way, "[[Recap/SMG4MarioUniversity Mario University]]" reveals Bob is an expert in [[FictionalFieldOfScience garbology (the study of garbage)]]. On just his first day in class, he's able to take over for the teacher, and he earns his degree at the end of the episode.

* DropTheHammer: Wields a large, two-handed, wooden one as her primary weapon of defense.

* TheFakeCutie: A rare male example. His redesign can look adorable as heck to some, but if one sees his personality...

* RedOniBlueOni: Tari is the blue to Meggy's red, as she is a pacifist gamer who would rather solve problems using her wits and gamer skills in a non-lethal fashion. Their respective hair colors drive the point home.

->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/Supermarioglitchy4 Celeste Notley-Smith]]

* VoiceGrunting: Tari's spoken dialogue in ''[=SMG4=]'' consists of a couple dozen recycled pre-recorded phrases supplemented with full subtitles. As of 2023 there are two exceptions where she is fully voiced:

* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Starting in late 2024, his dialogue has been subtitled, which is odd, since he's been allowed to speak without subtitles for years.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Downplayed, but she wears socks with sandals. ''She'' thinks it looks cool.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Expect to hear [[VideoGame/MarioParty Western Land]] whenever he shows up.

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Smiles at Melony before she kills him.]]

* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:[=Ax0l=] disintegrates after Melony is forced to MercyKill him. This would explain why Axol isn't given a burial like Desti and Greg before him.]]

* IntrepidFictioneer: Similar to her ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'' counterpart. No thanks to Mario, both of them get warped into their fighting game in "The Tari Abnormality".

* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:He willingly allowed Melony to end his life to stop Zero and save the universe. Too bad that only separated Niles and the actual [=SMG0=], allowing Niles to continue his schemes. Downplayed in that while it didn't completely stop Niles, it did delay said schemes.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Downplayed. Her human form has red eyes (because watermelon) and she wields the powers of a god, but is almost heartbreakingly innocent. Her Fierce Deity form has white pupils with black sclerae.

* {{Catchphrase}}: He exclaims “Ow my ovaries!” whenever he gets hurt, [[TheChewToy which is quite a frequent occurrence.]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: "[[Franchise/{{Splatoon}} Woomy!]]" and "That's very illegal."

* CatchPhrase: "Well, golly gee!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: Her most common vocalization tends to be an upbeat "Yay!"
