In ''Smoke 'Em Out Struggle'', Garcello was forcibly hired and cursed by Daddy Dearest into an endless loop of [[JustForPun smoking himself out]] in an alleyway...unless he transferred his addiction to Boyfriend. He would come to befriend Boyfriend and realize he could have taken another life aside from his own when he loses to him and later dies after a second song.

I get the intention behind this entry but maybe its better if we dont refer to him smoking to death as earning a happy ending, after all from what we know of their backstories, his best friend Annie was actually trying to stop him from smoking to death so this isnt really a happy ending for either of them


* EarnYourHappyEnding: The official album reveals that he’s enjoying a nice afterlife and currently is having a meal at Ghost [=McDonald's=].

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Tight bars, little man."'']]

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: After he dies, he comments that while dying hurt, it was probably better than whatever Daddy Dearest was going to do to him.
* BreathWeapon: He exhales colored puffs of smoke that match the color of the arrow note he's singing. After the second song, his soul leaves his body in a manner resembling this trope.
* CatchPhrase: "Tight bars, little man." has become this for him, due to saying it to Boyfriend twice ([[SuddenlyVoiced once with actual voiced dialogue!]]).
* DarkIsNotEvil: He sets off all the red flags of someone you don't wanna trust or approach in the middle of the night, and yet he is actually a very polite and respectful person.
* {{Determinator}}: Despite his IncurableCoughOfDeath, he carries on rap battling despite the pain. He dies two songs in, and he finishes the last two songs as a ghost.
* DrivenToSuicide: He admits he knew the cigarette was killing him and regretted offering Boyfriend earlier as he realizes it could've taken his life as well. And even without Boyfriend around, he was more than content smoking himself to death in the back alley.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: His death is displayed with a dedicated cutscene where he lets out a huge cloud of smoke similar to a BreathWeapon where his soul escapes from his body in a grandiose manner.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The official album reveals that he’s enjoying a nice afterlife and currently is having a meal at Ghost [=McDonald's=].
* EyeObscuringHat: His hat obscures his eyes most of the time where usually only one of his eyes can be seen under his hat. After his death, his body can be seen in the background hatless but since he is lying face-down, his face is obscured and he still retained the hat covering his eyes even as a ghost.
* FaceOfAThug: Initially appears to be bad news, having the appearance of a criminal, and offering a cigarette to Boyfriend. But he later turns out to be a NiceGuy.
* FateWorseThanDeath: According to him, painfully dying from smoking was actually ''preferable'' from whatever Daddy Dearest was planning to do with him.
* FogFeet: His ghost form has a wispy tail instead of legs.
* FriendlyEnemy: While most opponents in ''Friday Night Funkin''' (even in the mods) tend to be very hostile towards Boyfriend, he is far more amicable. The songs comes off as two friends having a jam session, with him even breaking the usual and [[SuddenlyVoiced giving Boyfriend a compliment mid-song.]]

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: His immediate reaction to literally ''dying'' after "Nerves" is one of casual indifference, but not after he expresses just a little surprise.
--> "Oh. ... Would ya look at that."
* MortonsFork: His situation as revealed by Atsuover and Rageminer on a stream. Daddy Dearest forced him to give the cigarette to Boyfriend, so either he gives Boyfriend the cigarettes, or Daddy Dearest kills him for failing. Ultimately, he chose [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled to kill himself with the cigarette]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While he isn't too regretful about smoking himself to death, he's much more remorseful about offering the cigarette to Boyfriend earlier, realizing it could've very well killed him too.
* NiceGuy: He is actually quite polite and amicable, considering their rap battle friendly and affectionately calling Boyfriend "little man".
* NiceHat: He wears a brown cap with the brim's shadow completely obscuring his eyes.
* {{Portmanteau}}: His name comes from the word "cigar" and the name "Marcelo".
* SuddenlyVoiced: Similar to Week 7's "Stress" in the main game, he has a unique voiced line during "Release".
--> '''Garcello''': Tight bars, little man.
* TemptingFate: Before "Nerves", he notices his chest hurting and decides to continue singing asking himself that it couldn't hurt to keep going, right?
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has teal-colored hair and a touch of facial hair.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He looks like he is in his late 30's or early 40's, but he is actually ''26''. Likely [[JustifiedTrope explained as]] having been haggard by his heavy smoking habit.
