** Luke and Kevin have a particular fondness for both "If Mario Was In... Splatoon" and "The Ultimate Gamer", the debut episodes of Meggy and Tari, respectively: the former because the process that went into animating Meggy is what inspired them to pursue their dream career in animation, and the latter because of its ties to ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'', their first fully animated series.

* ActingForTwo:
** Doubling with TalkingToThemself, Lizzie Freeman voiced both Meggy and Shadow-Meggy in "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "My New Adventure". The reason it counts as both is because Shadow-Meggy manifests physically and isn't always just a voice. This carried over into Meggy's solo series ''WebAnimation/SunsetParadise''.
** In "The Tari Abnormality", Celeste Notley-Smith voiced ''three'' different versions of Tari, one of whom is a pirate. Interestingly, it is the only [=SMG4=] episode where Tari is fully voiced outside of a song.
** In two episodes of the Revelations Arc, [=SMG1=] (one of the heroes) and the Box Club Leader (one of the main antagonists) are arguing with each other. They're both voiced by Paul Stylianou, also known as [=Mediexcalibur2012=].
** An interesting and ''very'' invoked case with Niles and [[spoiler:[=SMG0=]. They're both voiced by one guy (Michael Kovach) and merge into one being (Eldritch Zero). Actually a double-case because Kovach also voiced Fred, ''MAGE''[='s=] avatar whose accidental death caused Niles to complete his descent into madness.]]
** As of late-2022, Elsie Lovelock voices no fewer than three recurring characters in [=SMG4=]. Sometimes they appear together.
*** In "The Meme Games 2022" she voiced Meggy (a role she had recently inherited from Lizzie Freeman) and sang for Saiko. Her third character is Karen the Cat, who also appeared in that episode but at the time only used Femme-Scout voice clips.
*** She rapped for both Meggy and Karen in "Objection!", the song for ''War of the Fat Italians 2022''.
*** In "The Totally Safe & Legal [=SMG4=] Show", she again took over for Lizzie Freeman by voicing Pomni's cameo in addition to Meggy (Lizzie voices Pomni in ''WebAnimation/TheAmazingDigitalCircus'' proper)

** Several models made by C_Art have been included in various [=SMG4=] videos. The one made by [[WebAnimation/SunsetParadise Auri Bori]] made a cameo appearance in the 2021 Christmas special, the Beta Tari model made it into "If Mario Was In... Sonic Movie 2 and "Into the Marioverse", and the College Tari model made by C_Art officially makes its way into an [=SMG4=] video, albeit appeared in a ''WebAnimation/MarioDoesThings'' video instead of the main videos ("Mario Does Pranks").

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** The Battletoads Justice Crew shares its name with the other [[VideoGame/{{Battletoads}} Battletoads]], most likely as a passing reference or pun.
** "Wild, Wild Mario" features a Western town called Mushroom Mesa, which had no relation to a level in ''VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker''.

** Doobus Goobus was flattered, if a little taken aback, when he learned that [=SMG4=] used audio from his videos in "Mario Try Not To Cringe Challenge."



** Similarly, many fans had dubbed Melony's pet axolotl "Axol Jr." before it would become official in "All I Want For Christmas Is Mario To FREAKIN BEHAVE."



** [=MediExcalibur2012=], one of the editors for [=SMG4=] has been observing fan feedback and reactions and finding ways to incorporate them into future videos. After seeing the fandom's opinions on Mario and Meggy's friendship, for example, he adlibbed a scene in "The Cursed Tapes," where Mario catches her. This went over very well with fans, and he would continue to add moments that establish that Mario and Meggy are indeed close friends.



** Constantly the case in earlier seasons, where the black bars of the green screen weren't cropped out and the fraps number appearing in some shots.



** Luke and Kevin see "If Mario Was In... Baldi's Basics" as this. In their Hobo Bros reaction to it, they claim it saved the channel.



** "Stupid Mario Golf" was going to have a callback to the Waluigi arc when Waluigi would have controlled Master Hand again.
** "Mario Gets His PINGAS Stuck In Car Door" cut out a scene where Kaizo would get his own crotch stuck in a door.

* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny:HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Episode scripts usually only contain dialogue and plot important actions, allowing the editors to adlib scenes for extra comedic effect.



** [=SMG4=]'s temporary IP change design in "If Mario was in... Splatoon 3" was almost immediately taken as a soon-to-be-permanent redesign despite it being reversed by the end of the episode, with savvy fans citing that it had both a well-made GMOD model and a custom [=SM64=] model with numerous custom expressions as evidence for this. The fact that a similar {{foreshadowing}} trick had already been used for Meggy's English voice change during the [=YouTube=] arc helped. A subset of people also predicted that [=SMG3=] would change too so as not to break the lore of the Cosmology Saga.

** "The [=SMG4=] Weight Losers" was also removed for similar reasons.



* NonSingingVoice: [[spoiler:[=Ax0l=]]] is voiced by [=MATTHEWGU4=] during the rap battle of "War of the Fat Italians 2021" rather than [[spoiler:Kevin]].

* NonSingingVoice: [[spoiler:[=Ax0l=]]] is voiced by [=MATTHEWGU4=] during the rap battle of "War of the Fat Italians 2021" rather than [[spoiler:Kevin]]. In the same video, Melony's singing is done by hackerling instead of Wolfychu.



** Whenever Mario speaks, it's usually done by [=VoicesExtremus=]. In "Mario Waits For The Bus," however, he has a line where he's voiced by [=MediExcalibur2012=].



** "Bowling for Dummies" was renamed ''twice''. First to "Stupid Mario Bowling", then to "Mario Goes Bowling".

** "Bowling for Dummies" was renamed ''twice''. ''three times''. First to "Mario Goes Bowling," then to "Stupid Mario Bowling", Bowling," and then back to "Mario Goes Bowling".



** The decision to [[spoiler:kill off the main characters and have Mario save them all]] in the Lawsuit Arc was first done in the [=YouTube=] Arc.



** The marketing for "War of the Fat Italians 2022" pretty much spoiled that [=SMG4=] was getting a new look. It's downplayed here, though, as past marketing has changed the looks of [=SMG4=] and [=SMG3=] for legal reasons.



** Folowing the release of "[NINTENDO HAS CLAIMED THIS VIDEO]" (in which [[spoiler:a DMCA kills off every non-Nintendo character]]), Luke posted a picture of Lawyer Kong flashing at peace sign at [=SMG4=]'s grave.



*** Axol originally ''was'' supposed to be the BigBad of the arc, as many had speculated, but Luke and Kevin ultimately didn't know how Axol would be able to pull off kidnapping the Inkling population on his own (this was before coming up with Inkweaver), nor what his motive would be for doing so. He was ultimately switched over to the good guys' side in order to make everything easier to explain and [[spoiler:Francis]] was made the BigBad in his stead.

The others listing Axol as a suspect is a remnant of this scrapped plot.



** Mario catching Meggy in "The Cursed Tapes" was one of three adlibs the editors had in mind. The others included having Meggy escape and land on her feet, and her slamming into the wall. These others scenarios were scrapped when they decided to get Mario more involved and revitalize his friendship with Meggy.
** The new banner after the release of "[NINTENDO HAS CLAIMED THIS VIDEO]" was supposed to be a lot darker, but was scrapped in favor of the remaining characters under Lawyer Kong's shadow.



** During a ''Deltarune'' Twitch Stream following the release of WOTFI 2021, James Bailey said that [[spoiler:"Zero is not done yet", hinting that he is still alive and may return.]]
