Join SMG4 and his trusty friend Mario as they find clues & solve mysteries around the house!!!!!!!!!

Puzzlevision has taken over SMG4's channel and is broadcasting the first of five mystery TV programs; in the first one, SMG4 accompanies his faithful canine friend Mario on a mission to find the poor dog's missing spaghetti, getting into the usual skirmishes along the way.


  • Author Appeal: Luke's fascination for war comes up once again when SMG4 and Mario "bloo skidoo" into a painting depicting a warzone.
  • invokedBlooper: On the PuzzleVision website, if you hover over/press-and-hold the image of Mr. Puzzles, the filename of the image is "downloading-me-is-pretty-rude".
  • Given Name Reveal: After over a year, the name of the mysterious TV entity that's been terrorizing the SMG4 crew is finally revealed to be Mr. Puzzles.
  • Medium-Shift Gag: After SMG4 and Mario "bloo skidoo" into a warzone painting, SMG4 is depicted in live-action by Luke himself for the entire time he and Mario are there. Though only SMG4 is affected by this, and he changes back to his usual depiction once they leave the painting.
  • Parody Episode: The episode's premise is a rather obvious parody of Blue's Clues, with SMG4 playing the role of Steve and Mario playing the role of Blue.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: SMG4's goal in the story was to find out who ate dog!Mario's spaghetti, only to discover that it was naturally Mario himself, thus making the entire plot pointless.
  • The Un-Reveal: If the TV scene is any indication, what happened after the end of the previous episode? Similarly, how can Meggy be trapped in a TV AND be a landmine at the same time?
