  • This is the SMG4 Mario is Smart Theory. With Revelations now completed I believe it's time we dive deep into Mario's intelligence and find the true answers to the SMG4 series by forming the greatest SMG4 Theory yet.
    -
    Throughout the SMG4 series Mario has shown several waves of unexpected intelligence which has led many fans to believe that he actually fakes it. However I asked myself is that really the case? And so I went and retrieved Jako who you may know from the SMG4 Iceberg and together we formed an SMG4 Theory regarding how Mario is Smart and how Mario fakes his unintelligence. Starting with SMG4: SMG4 Origins and working our way through a multitude of episodes such as SMG4: If Mario Was Smart to determine the likelihood of him having high IQ.
    Shoutout to Jako for assistance in speaking and script revisions. He was also the one who did the Mario Impression!

    SMG4 AKA SuperMarioGlitchy4 is an animated series based around Super Mario 64 bloopers and GMOD AKA Garry's Mod. It has had many arcs such as the Waluigi arc the Rapper Bob arc the Anime arc the TH-cam arc the Genesis arc and the Revelations arc. Recently the Revelations arc ended the Cosmology portion of the show with the Revelations movie starting with SMG4: Mario goes to College introducing the Box Club with SMG4: Mario Suffers Infinite Detention introducing Niles to SMG4: Mario's Bus Trip introducing Niles name to SMG4: Mario and the God Box introducing the God Box and SMG4: Absolute Betrayal where Niles was confirmed to be Zero which made my SMG4 Niles Theory correct. Many arcs end in War of the Fat Italians such as War of the Fat Italians 2021 and the Wotfi 2021 rap. I like Wotfi. There have also been many SMG4 movie such as the 10 year anniversary special which was introduced in the Genesis Arc. I have made many SMG4 theories before such as the SMG4 Niles Theory the SMG4 Zero Theory the SMG4 God Box Theory and the SMG4 SMG0 theory with the SMG4 SMG3 theory and of course the SMG4 Axol Theory. Today though I look at the SMG4 Mario is Smart Theory and I grabbed Jako who you may know from the SMG4 Iceberg video. SMG4 is under Glitch Productions whom have made a variety of shows such as Meta Runner Season 1 Meta Runner Season 2 Sunset Paradise and Murder Drones Season 1 with Meta Runner Season 3 on the horizon. Sunset Paradise is a spinoff of SMG4 following Meggy which is not to be confused with Melony who likes Axol which got corrupted by SMG0 AKA Zero AKA Niles last year. The Genesis Arc was really a dark time for SMG4 and the Revelations arc. This is not a Reaction or me reacting to SMG4 this is a theory and a group of theories.

      I personally think that E.Gadd's machine did work. It's not because people have knowlege that they are smart. It's one factor, but not the only one. A smart person tries to act for the best, while "Smart" Mario only cares about himself and his spaghetti. Basically E.Gadd's machine made Mario dumb, and like a lot of dumb people do, he pretends to be smart while he's not, even though he indeed has a lot of knowledge. But normal Mario probably does too.

      And it's also him maybe building proper social skills overtime and learning to be less uptight and selfish.
      Think of it like this: He was ultra simple and honestly bland, just like the real mario who lacks any real personality, after being made dumb he gained a ton of crazy personality and over time went too far into the smarts department. It seems this uber smart mario has been slowly melding his two states together to become a true mario with peronality and is fun to be around... but still smart enough to know when to be serious and handle a situation.
      For example in the zoo episode he was really the only one being logical with his one moment of "Is this a good idea?" more a rare moment when we see in his head of "Is this a good time to be dumb and create chaos? eh, sure whats the worst that could happen?" and later on as I said before he was being the only one questioning the insanity at all.

    I actually lowkey agree with this. It'd be fucking sick if something like this was addressed in canon too! That makes me wonder though, what other things would Mario be insecure about, like genuinely? Cause there's a multitude of evidence of Mario being fairly emotionally intelligent and self-aware, he states himself that he just has a hard time articulating it. I'd love to see a more in depth dive into Mario's character, at least in terms of his emotions, and this theory definitely brings more of that into light.

    Though this is an amazing theory, I personally think Mario doesn't lack that much social skills if he was not stupid. After all, every time he comforts Meggy, he is always being absolutely perfect,thoughtful and awesome.
    proofs of comfort moments:
    after their first splatfest loss
    after Desti's death
    in the middle of movie Meggy's Destiny, he told her just to do her best.

    New example:
    In The Meme Games 2022, Mario single handedly constructs a giant flying death machine with lasers and giant robotic arms…
    He’s also seen clapping at the end, confirming that he knew and expected that he would be beaten, presumably only when Saiko and Kaizo teamed up.
    Meaning if he did engineer the entire thing just so he could end the Saiko Arc, it means that if he wanted to defeat everybody on the SMG4 cast for real, he very easily could do so.

  • @eponymousviewer8497
    @eponymousviewer8497 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    What actually confirms this theory is the episode where Mario is the last man on earth. This shows Mario being very reliant on his friends for his own personal mental health.
    Without them, Mario veers on the edge of total insanity but this episode shows how Marios friends are dismissive of them. The recent lawsuit arch shows him being proactive in a manner that indicates his smartness and genuine care for others.

    Not sure if this contributes to the theory, but…
    In “Meggy Answers Your Questions”, she explicitly states her suspicions that Mario could be secretly a super-genius and that his dumbness is a facade.
    So not only could this theory be true, but Meggy might be the only one who knows of Mario’s true nature.

      Meggy is popular because she was part of a character arc. First she became a human, then gained a new voice. Luigi was popular due to his cowardly personality and constantly bullied by Mario, but over time, Mario rarely ever bullies him and Luigi starts becoming more competent. That's character development. Luigi and Meggy are popular due to character development.

    Episodes made in the year following this video only bolster the "Mario is secretly smart" hypothesis even more, plus his extreme fear of losing his friends -- "If Mario Was the Last Man on Earth" is a good example. He also knows his limitations so in the Lawsuit Arc he went straight to Phoenix Wright (showing Mario knows who and what Phoenix is). If Mario has a clear goal, _especially_ if it involves Meggy or Luigi, he's an unstoppable force. He just can't do math and has dyslexia.
    EDIT: One thing that was already out there when y'all made this video but was skipped is Meggy's Q&A from 2021, which I'm pretty sure is canon since most things she mentioned in it later appeared in the show (like her cat Loaf). In it, she said flat-out she thinks Mario is a lot smarter than he lets on. She's the ONLY one who seems to realize this… You'd think Luigi would but he's easily traumatized and has to deal with Mario's antics on the daily.

  • @luiginumber1
    @luiginumber1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    What if Mario was dumb because he liked it ? We see it in the Mario Documentary : just by being an idiot, he gets almost everything he wants. What if he realised that ? That would explain why he became evil in If Mario was smart. He makes his friends hate the smart Mario and prefer the dumb Mario, asking him to stay that way. The only times Mario shows his intelligence is when he needs to survive, when he needs to save the world or when he wants to help his friends. He only shows his intelligence by necessity, and stays dumb the rest of the time when no one truly needs him so he can relax and be served by his brother and his friends.

    I’ve seen a few people comment things about Mario being emotional at times, so here’s my mini-theory to tack onto this one, maybe egadd’s invention did work, but it only reversed the emotional part of Mario’s brain, which is why he doesn’t feel any fear for being smart around his friends anymore and why he suddenly lacks the emotional intelligence he once had. Now having it back he thinks that his friends would hate him and pretends to be stupid again but the real reason his friends hated him wasn’t because he was smart, it was because he lacked his emotions, or something like that idk

    With Mario he has been on so many adventures he has learned how to think quickly and out smart opponents, while being unable to do math (at least until he learned from baldly) he didn’t regain his IQ from when he was Super Mario but he learned from when he was Stupid Mario.

    Adding onto this, in WOTFI 2022, he says "It was very scary living in a world without you two" so if he thinks his friends will leave him if he reveals he's not dumb, he would be left scared, thus adding reason for him acting dumb.

    I feel like the meta reason for the van scene is simply it’s funny when the dumb character recognizes someone’s behavior, and I while it would be an interesting twist, I’d be more in favor of the possibility that instead of being smart secretly because he’d think his friends would hate him, that Mario would be hit by something related to the SMGs, or something outside “flips some internal switch”, to where instead of Mario being super dumb or hyperintelligently smart.. Mario would be Mario. That hero from the Mushroom Kingdom saving princesses and getting cake for it, expecting nothing else. Where he feels horrible for how his dumbness put plenty of people in so much danger, and heavy regret for hurting Luigi a lot, even if his dumb self still loved him

    The idea of Mario being smart brings into question how it would seem even the laws of the Mushroom Kingdom's universe were turned 'stupid', as physics and logic seem to be flexible, and how he would manipulate them. Examples of this can be seen in his apparent immortality even in almost fatal damage, such as his head coming off, or his manipulation of his nose. A smart person in an environment like that, with knowledge of how to control the randomness, could be all powerfull.

    I think that the machine just changed Mario's daily routine and that's why he acts smart even though he already is. He specifically said it reverted brain patterns meaning he probably reverted what Mario usually does turning into the person he actually is and fears. But that's just my take on the machine thing. Good video!

    There are more instances of Mario being smart. But I don't want to make this comment too big, so I'll only add a few examples.
    In "If Mario was in... The Sonic Movie", Mario learns that Eggman is going to do everything in his power to expose Sonic to Swag, and Mario does everything in his power to stop Eggman.
    In the beginning of "Steve Fights Everyone", Mario warns Kirby, Pikachu, Fox, and Captain Falcon about Steve because he knows how powerful Steve is and how much he cares about his chickens. Later in the episode, Mario paints Sonic, Incineroar, and King Dedede green so they'd get blown up by Creepers.
    In "World War Monke", when Boopkins tells him about him being taken in by the monkeys, Mario was left in disbelief since they've only been in the zoo for 5 minutes.

    • @josephholt4736
      @josephholt4736 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Here's a few more examples.
      In "If Mario was in... Friday Night Funkin' 2", during Mario's rap battle against Ruv, Mario pulls out Toad to use his voice to get an instant win.
      In "Mario Battle Royale", during the final seconds of Mario's battle with SMG4, Mario's gun runs out of bullets. While SMG4 was laughing, Mario pulls out another gun and shoots SMG4 while his guard was down.

Does this also mean they're faking it, because if so that wouldn't make any sense, especially with Luigi. They didn't notice that being dumb was the key to success, so why would they be faking it still?

    Honestly, I think TheAwesomeMario is actually dumb, but he has some areas of actual intelligence. It's like a Crash Bandicoot situation. For example, he may not be able to work a compass, but he is able to use his surroundings to his advantage against certain enemies. So, maybe he is dumb, but he's an excellent problem solver.

  • @Liks_on_youtube
    @Liks_on_youtube 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I want to add some elements in favour of this theory :
    - In the early videos, the vocabulary of Mario was more complex than now, and he often used irony ;
    - Sup'bro : Mario discovered by himself that SLG4 was lying about being SMG4's brother ;
    - The dialogue in Meet the Mario : "I think in the end, I'm just a guy trying to get through life. I'm not the smartest person and I don't have much friends... But as long as I have my spaghetti... I'm good." ;
    - Casino, cards and chaos : At the end, The trick that Mario used to defeat King Bob-Omb when he was chasing him in the casino (with the gnome Mario) was pretty clever ;
    - Mario learns to type : At the end, when Mario fights against Mario's head, he managed to correctly type all the words ;
    - Detective Mario & Pikachu : The whole Mario's plan of stealing Bowser's statue and when at the end he was pretending to be stupid so that Pikachu wouldn't look in his basement house. Thus Mario can easily fake his stupidity.
    - If Mario was in Baldi's Basics : At the end, when Baldi was gonna kill Mario for not knowing what "2 + 3 =" was; he suddenly gave the right answer.
    But even if it's a fun theory (the video was really interesting by the way), I think that Mario is in fact stupid. But great work of research.
    Personnaly, I think that the "Bob is smart" theory is more coherent though.

    Okay, good theory

    You see, mabye the machine hitted Mario, but he already was samrt (as you said before), so the laser needed to hit something else, cuz it can't just dissapear in to thin air, so it hitted Mario's sense of fear. Now he didn't fear about loosing his friends and stuff. This could explain why Bob was turned smart. You see, pretending is a common technique to gain attention, used by kids. Bob was stupid, just wanted fame and h*e's.
    But that is just my small theory, and i'm not the smartest guy, so yea...

    @Geepnarp 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    In the new episode where he's tasked to watch over the (gas?) Station because boopkins needed to find a new microwave. I noticed how he's not his usual over the top stupid. In fact hes actually managing the place all by himself pretty well. And the only reason it got destroyed was because swag and bob destroyed it with their antics. Like yeah Mario was still his stupid self. But i noticed that he wasn't as stupid. He is capable of managing a job even. I theorize that no one really notices these odd instances because to them it's "good old silly dumb mario" and sum it up as another wacky antic.

  • @wid4523
    @wid4523 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hmm let me add more recent stuff
    in DO NOT ENTER mario tricks sakio in telling her he was going to the bathroom, fakes he went after saiko told him where it was, then when she wasnt looking he went back to sneak into it. He also used an oven as a flamethrower and kept sneaking away to get into her room.
    In the lawsuit arc in one video i cant remember he was able to easily persuade his creator to let out all of the non nintento characters out of the jail and get pheonix's help.
    And probably one of the darkest episodes was If Mario Was the Last Man on Earth. In this episode mario goes insane because hes alone and misses his friends and his friends only abandoned him for a world record pizza. Man started hallucinating for how insane he went showing that he dosnt want to be alone and actually cares about his friends. There are a lot more, too many.

    2. the reason they mostly hated him in that episode was becuz he was trying to steal all the spaghetti which makes sense so even if the machine didnt work maybe he still pretended to have the stupidly high hunger for spaghetti even while smart which proven by the games isnt true since in the show (the tv one) its shown he likes it but not that much to do that
