History Trivia / SuperMarioLogan

** In February 2021, Logan received a cease-and-desist letter from Nintendo, demanding that he stop using Nintendo characters in family-unfriendly situations. On February 13, 2021, after days of speculation by the fanbase over whether the letter was genuine or a fake sent by a disgruntled fan or Chilly, Logan confirmed that the letter did indeed come from Nintendo, who were fed-up with Logan putting their characters in family-unfriendly situations, going as far as to accuse Logan of using them to promote hate speech. Because of this, the Nintendo plushies could no longer be legally used and Logan was forced to wipe all traces of Nintendo and their characters from the SML brand, leaving only the older videos. This was taken further in March 2021, when a leaked chat between a fan and Logan on Instagram had him reveal that Nintendo also wanted all of Logan's channels taken down due to the older videos and their custom [=URL=]s, which can't be changed once they're set, still having Mario references in them. Following this, Logan moved activity once again and began remaking some of the older videos on a 4th SML channel. Furthermore, because the human puppets still look suspiciously like the characters whose plushies they replaced, Logan had to rename them all. These changes also affected the non-Nintendo characters like the Blue M&Ms Officer and Shrek, likely so Logan could prevent any other company like Mars Incorporated or [=DreamWorks=] from doing the same thing Nintendo did.

** Ya Boy Duggie (Black Yoshi's puppet counterpart) was originally intended to appear as a human puppet,[[note]]Said human puppet was also used when Nintendo plushes depicted in the thumbnails of SML Movies on [=SuperBowserLogan=] were replaced with puppets[[/note]] but Logan decided to keep him as a dinosaur given that while Yoshis are Nintendo IPs, they don't own the concept of dinosaurs.

** An alternate ending for the episode "The RIGGED Game!" was filmed in the even the Buccaneers had won the game, [[https://youtu.be/WSfCRpc-ma4?si=m2WMq_baGmk_goP2&t=1216 which can be viewed here.]]

** After "Jeffy Has Kids!" was released, Logan revealed that there was a scene where Jeffy actually had sex with the Cheerio box (which even had a pair of panties on), leading to the birth of his children. Logan decided to cut this scene due to its graphic content and how Website/YouTube would quickly age-restrict/demonetize the video. He also claimed that he couldn't find the video clip for it.

* ItsBeenDone: "Jeffy's Fairy Godparents" has the exact same story and almost the same script as the Fairly Oddparents pilot episode on "Oh Yeah! Cartoons!".

* OldShame:
** Chris really hates his first Cody voice, which sounded a lot like [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Mr. Crocker]].
** As mentioned above, "Jeffy's Bad Word!" was this for the entire cast, with the exception of Elaina Keyes (who plays Rosalina).
* OneSteveLimit: D-Money from "Rosalina's Ex-Boyfriend!" and D-Money from the ''Bowser Junior's 1st Grade!'' series both share the exact same name.

* IKnewIt: Some people correctly guessed what was behind the Secret Door: [[spoiler:the bodies of the people that were murdered in the house.]]

* DawsonCasting: All the young characters are voiced by the regular cast members of the show (for example, Junior is 9 years old and is voiced by Logan, who is already in his 20's).

ActingForTwo:

* TalkingToHimself:
** Happens whenever a conversation between Bowser and Chef Pee Pee occurs, since both of them are voiced by Lovell.
** A rare occurrence of two characters voiced by Logan talking happens in one episode of the ''Luigi's Mansion'' arc.
*** Whenever Mario and Junior meet, this is bound to happen. A fact worth knowing when you consider that both of them rarely interact.

* NamesTheSame: The acronym "SML" is not to be confused with an official one, being ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand''.

* ItsBeenDone: "Jeffy's Fairy Godparents" has the exact same story and almost the same script as the Fairly Oddparents pilot episode on "Oh Yeah! Cartoons!"

** "The Ring", where Mario tries [[spoiler:and fails, thanks to Jeffy,]] to propose to Rosalina, was released exactly a year after "Mario's New Girlfriend!", in which Mario and Rosalina meet for the first time and start dating. In fact, Chef Pee Pee even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this]].

** Rosalina's appearances were sporadic following "Jeffy Has Kids!" because Elaina Keyes, who portrayed her, was supposedly away at college, and could only return during breaks. This was later revealed to be a lie, as Chilly forbade Elaina from entering the house because the former hated her. After Logan and Chilly broke up, Elaina and her characters (chiefly Rosalina and Sharon) returned full-time.

** "Jeffy's 18th Birthday!" was originally supposed to be "The [=SuperMarioLogan=] Movie", before the latter's eventual cancellation following a combination of DevelopmentHell and getting ScrewedByTheLawyers. While the finished video retains the general plot of the movie, the original video would've featured appearances of every single SML character introduced up to that point and would've reintroduced Mama Luigi as part of the main cast.

** Ya Boy Duggie (Black Yoshi's puppet counterpart) was originally intended to appear as a human puppet, but Logan decided to keep him as a Dinosaur given that while Yoshi's are Nintendo IPs, they dont own the concept of Dinosaurs.
* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: In early 2018, Logan found both the SML and SLL channels getting demonetized to the point where new videos were being instantly confirmed by manual review. In late April and early May of 2018, fans discovered the demonetization spree was being caused by a group of disgruntled fans that were reporting many videos on both channels, all led by a user named [=SkipDip=]. [=SkipDip=] stated that his motives were to force Logan to admit he had “scammed” people on Patreon and to force him to stop using Jeffy and Junior due to them being the focus of nearly every modern SML video. He claimed that by using those characters and rarely using Shrek, Black Yoshi and other older characters, Logan was "insulting" fans of the older videos and not caring for them, even though Black Yoshi still appeared semi-frequently and Shrek still got a few videos per year. A massive flame war broke out as a result, as some fans actually supported [=SkipDip=]'s motives. Other independent users also mass-reported videos either to troll Logan or because they were overzealous moral guardians trying to "protect" children. As a result, It would take until August of that year for the demonetization spree to calm down.

** After the C&D in February 2021, SML was barred from ever using the Mario characters again. This means that, if the film ever were to release, it is going to have to be entirely reshot with the new puppets. The latest release date given is Thanksgiving 2022, over a year and a half after said announcement was made. But considering Logan's track record, no one is holding their breath.

* RefittedForSequel: After both DevelopmentHell and getting ScrewedByTheLawyers led to the cancellation of "The [=SuperMarioLogan=] Movie" the overall plot of the movie with Mario getting kidnapped by Nancy in order to get Jeffy's money was eventually reworked into "Jeffy's 18th Birthday".

** "Jeffy's 18th Birthday" was originally supposed to be "The [=SuperMarioLogan=] Movie!", but due to a combination of both DevelopmentHell and getting ScrewedByTheLawyers the film ended up getting cancelled, while the finished video retains the general plot of the movie, the original video would've featured appearances of every single SML character introduced up to that point and would've reintroduced Mama Luigi as part of the main cast.

** ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'': In "Super Happy Magical Fun Fun Island", Toad sings "Party in the Tub" on the plane, and in "Stupid Mario Sunshine", [=SML=] Bowser Jr.'s {{Leitmotif}}, "Get Outside", plays when his Shadow Mario disguise breaks.

** "Jeffy's Tantrum!" was deleted from the main channel due to it containing a scene where Jeffy [[DriventoSuicide attempts to hang himself]]. While this is nothing out of the ordinary for SML humor, it became rather controversial after a British mother claimed that her child had attempted to ''imitate'' this scene with a makeshift noose. This is considered to be a major reason for [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Logan's troubles with YouTube]], and the only way to view the video now is by reuploads and reactions.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Many of the videos that reference memes, trends, and current events are bound to become this.

** Jeffy also bears an uncanny resemblance to Special Ed from the Creator/ComedyCentral puppet show [[Series/CrankYankers Crank Yankers]].
