SMG4, also known as SuperMarioGlitchy4 after its creator, and formerly known as Super Mario 64 Bloopers, is an Australian teen animated machinima sitcom web series created by brothers Luke and Kevin Lerdwichagul, appearing on the channel of the same name. It is the second notable teen animated series to be produced in Australia, the first being John Callahan's Quads!, and the first completely produced in its home country.

The series is a parody of the Nintendo franchise Super Mario Bros. (though it also features other original characters), where Mario, rather than being a hero, is usually kind of an idiot (however despite this, he did do some heroic things in the older episodes and still does it today).

Its first episode, The Cake Is a Lie!, aired on May 7, 2011. Though the show was created in Australia, the content primarily targets the American audiences.

As with most SM64 machinimists, it first started off as dialog-based series that inserted captions over Super Mario 64 game-play. Later, Garry's Mod was introduced in the middle of the first season, and the series made a full transition to it in the seventh season. It currently has 620 episodes, 3 Movies, and a spin-off show.

Plot
The show is a parody of the Japanese video game franchise Super Mario. It is about Mario, who in here is being depicted as quite a moron, getting into crazy meme-related adventures with his friend SMG4, who is a fictionalized version of the show's creator. The show usually revolves around perverted cartoony slapstick comedy reminiscent of the Looney Tunes and Silly Symphonies combined with surreal humor of shows such as Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as well as pop culture references, while also including satire of current and previous topics.

Qualities That Makes You Shout MAMA F*CKER! Nowadays
NOTE: This article will only talk about SMG4 episodes from early February 10th, 2018 to present. Do not put any problems that have started from 2016 to February 3rd, 2018 because they're still great and golden years of SMG4's series. However, some problems that started from 2016 to February 3rd, 2018 that got more worse in 2018 to present will be mentioned here. Also, do not change this to Why It Sucks. Why it's set to a Bad Qualities article is because despite the show's decline, it's still loved by many SMG4 fans. If this article plans to get deleted, it will be moved to the MixedTVShows wiki. Thank you.


 * 1) Like, but unlike SuperMarioLogan (2017-present) with Jeffy and The Fairly OddParents' final two seasons with Sparky and Chloe, the main problem is ever since the introduction of Saiko in the episode Doki Doki Mario Club, SMG4's new trend of OC characters (MOST ESPECIALLY the female ones) have been stealing spotlights from old and beloved characters and their overuses of shoehorned episodes and appearances. The worst offender being when they're appearing in bigger major if not, main roles in episodes that would've looked better if they weren't in it (mainly when the thumbnail only has Mario in it, to trick people into thinking the episodes would just have him as the only main character). This gets even more worse so far in 2022.
 * 2) Thanks to the popularity of such original characters like Meggy, Shroomy, Saiko, Tari, Axol and Melony and their overused appearances, many beloved classic characters who are not the new original characters like the former five, Mario, SMG4, SMG3 (starting from 2020) Luigi (despite rarely having any episodes of his own ever since Luigi's Lesson), Chris and Swagmaster696969696969 (starting from 2019), Fishy Boopkins and Bob have been demoted to recurring, side, minor, supporting or cameo characters (even if some characters started to have less appearances by 2016-2017 or didn't have any huge roles to begin with) such as:
 * 3) * Bowser (despite his flanderization)
 * 4) * Toad
 * 5) * Princess Peach (despite her flanderization)
 * 6) * Wario
 * 7) * Waluigi
 * 8) * Yoshi
 * 9) * Toadsworth
 * 10) * Old Man Hobo
 * 11) * Wizard Rock
 * 12) * Steve
 * 13) * The Teletubbies (Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po)
 * 14) * Toast Guy
 * 15) * Chris and Swagmaster696969696969 (2018 only; even though they started to have less appearances in 2016-2017 and their subseries got pushed aside)
 * 16) * SMG3 (same reason as Chris and Swag)
 * 17) * Sonic the Hedgehog (even though he has been absent since 2016's Showdown of the idiots, he did return in 2020's If Mario Was In... The Sonic Movie and it's sequel and some cameos. Even though those videos don't help him recover from his inactivity)
 * 18) * Dr. Robotnik
 * 19) * Dr. Pootis
 * 20) * Professor E. Gadd
 * 21) * The Mario Recolors (Even though they started to have less appearances around 2016-2017)
 * 22) * FM
 * X
 * 1) * Ben
 * 2) * Frankie
 * 3) * Princess Daisy (who had started to become underused since 2017, despite not being a big role character to begin with)
 * 4) * Rosalina (even though she didn't have big roles to begin with)
 * 5) * Donkey Kong (same reason as Daisy and Rosalina)
 * 6) * Bowser Jr.
 * 7) * Dr. Mario
 * 8) * The Chain Chomp who says "WHAT THE F*CK IS A SONIC?!"
 * 9) * Lakitu (Although he started to begin to lose appearances very fast all the way back in 2012, he still made lots of big roles until he officially lost his main character status all together after The Mario Channel's pilot episode, Mario Vs Wild)
 * 10) * Crazy Old Lady
 * 11) In addition, even some OC characters (mainly the male ones) like Shroomy, Jeeves, Mr. Monitor, Fuego, the Anti Cast and Susan (despite being a dinosaur in clothes and a girly hairstyle made completely in Garry's Mod), while they're all likable, have also been pushed aside as well due to them not being as popular as Meggy, Saiko, Tari and Melony.
 * 12) * Even the ones who are still main characters at all like SMG4 himself, Luigi and SMG3 have not had any episodes where it focuses on one of them due to almost the entirety of the series nowadays has their main roles aimed way too much on Mario (even though he's supposed to be the main character to begin with, it's pretty much starting to become more and more generic as if Luke and Kevin are not used to making episodes focusing directly on other characters) and the female OC characters.
 * 13) * Even if some old characters like Yoshi for example in "Mario Commits Tax Fraud" occasionally come back as main characters for one episode or two, they go back to being less used. As of 2022, thanks to the first bad quality above, most of these classic, memorable characters have yet to recover from their plagues of inactivity and redeem all their titles as main characters.
 * 14) Some characters where flanderized or character derailed in this era:
 * 15) * Bowser nearly lost all his antagonistic roles as a villain and out of nowhere became a friendly hero who is friends with Mario and the gang for some reason. He rarely even kidnaps Peach anymore, even if she is standing right in front of him. While there are some times where Bowser has been on Mario's side in the very beginning, such as the "Cooking with Bowser and Mario" series, Retarded64's "Son of a bowser." and "Shell Shocked" and he may have started to become protagonistic a little more in 2017, 2018 through onwards is where his friendliness erupted like lava from a volcano and his villainy gets thrown out the window.
 * 16) * While Luigi has been cowardly before in the past years, his scaredy cat personality has gotten even more worse than it has been, especially in the 2020's. He gets frighten so much, that it makes Cowardly Lion characters like Wade Duck from "Garfield and Friends" look like they conquered their nightmares.
 * 17) Even since 2021, SMG4 seems to be starting to run out of ideas for making episodes, as an example being the amount of episodes focused on Mario reacting to memes (being know as Mario reacts to x memes).
 * 18) Some use of filler:
 * 19) *In Mario Reacts To Anime Memes, there's a scene that was only made to promote a mobile game called Dislyte, while is not bad for SMG4 to promote its sponsors' products (since he is paid for it), however, the scene in question lasts for more than 4 minutes, and is played right in the middle of the episode instead of happening at the beginning or even before the episode starts.
 * 20) 2018-2019 and 2022 can be considered the worst years of SMG4. This is because 2018 was weak due to the things like the introduction of OC characters, the character derails of such characters like Bowser, the music credits that have been used from late 2016 to "Mario's Dangerous Delivery" being replaced by the YouTube channel membership perks, the F and S words being censored and the unnecessarily long arcs. 2019 was mediocre because of the absence of classic characters like Bowser and Toad got more worse than usual, the sub series like If Mario Was In... and Stupid Mario episodes were rarely made often with there only being one If Mario Was In... episode and two Stupid Mario episodes made that year and let's not forget about how long that the Anime arc lasted. And finally, 2022, so far at least, is the worst year because of the over usage of OC shoehorns and appearances got cranked up to 11 as well as full voice lines for voice acted characters such as SMG4, Meggy and Melony and Uberduck have been overused even more than they have before last year while voice clips and text fonts for characters like Mario and Luigi have started to become underused thanks to the usage of Uberduck.
 * 21) * 2020 and 2021 to extents were less worse compared to the other years. While 2020 was a small improvement over 2019, it's humor started to become more hyperactive with the overuses of screaming sounds like audio from Sr. Pelo and MetalKingBoo. We were also promised by SMG4 that many classic projects and characters would be revived, however, when it came, we didn't get to see the Battle Toads again, the Sonic the Derphog series was presumbly recycled into If Mario Was In... episodes and all we got from Ssenmodnar were episodes that are way too similar to Ssenmodnar such as "Mario's Magical TV" and "SMG4 🅴🆇🅿🅰🅽🅳🆂 His Brain" while 2021 had the full voice acting for Meggy and others becoming used so much that they're text fonts are rarely needed anymore, green screening was started to go a little too overboard, and Uberduck was started to become more common in SMG4.
