    Y'know, I just love how many years ago Mario's imbecility was a psychopathic murder weapon causing destruction everywhere. But now today, Mario uses what little of his brain remains to be helpful to society and act as a real hero to solve problems such as clown invasions. I love the development on the show! Keep going Luke and Kevin, you lads are doing great!

    loved this one too, mario keeping his own personality while keeping the development, perfect balance of being smarter but stupid and caring but too lazy to help all the time. the jevil and spamton music was perfect also and the 4th wall clown joke I felt personally attacked. and even if it was just for a joke, I love how mario kept the keyblade afterall only to use it as a car key which actually makes sense since riku's is a literal car key so maybe keyblades don't just open any door but also can work where any type of key would?? great episode tho to get back to the point

      @@nathanstrother7593 the only one not shown. SMG4 has been known to "retcon" video stories, especially if they aren't related to a higher plot/arc. In this case, it highly likely that this story existed in the mind of Depresso, in a somewhat similar fashion to the Joker movie, although not to the same extent. It's possible that this entire plot was fictionally created by Depresso as he's struggling with something else in his head and judging how much that the final two shots are pulling from the Joker film, I think we can expect to see a bit more into the psyche of Depresso.

    10:02 Hear me out… I believe the events of this exact episode and this clown is the cause of this puzzlevision arc going on right now, and please if you are reading this at a future date please comment if this prediction is correct

      Exactly my thought I'm with you on this one as this video ended weirdly with him going insane without anything happening after the video.
      I bet the showgrounds was orginal his place but gave it to puzzle vision to sell to smg4 as they might be working together as he most likely wants revenge. Might make sense why we see him living there as he doesn't have a cirus because why else would he be staying there or he's possibly just spying on them.
      I even bet he realised and regretted what he had done as he was rushing to speak to SMG4 in the video "SMG4: NO TV makes mario no okie dokie"
      which we see at the start of video.

    I cannot comprehend how an animated series made in gmod with nintendo characters has several original anime characters placed in it's plot and still has a functioning storyline

    I think Mario`s stupidity is slowly turning into an EMPIRE of Stupidity.
    And I love it.

    Love your content SMG4, you still have the epic gamer memes while also going down the path of excellent storytelling too

    The reason it didn't become an arc is because that would be the correct thing to do in this situation but SMG4 turned to a clown so it doesn't become an arc

    Depresso, despite possibly taking a Joker route of evil, kind of seem equal parts menacing and not so much a threat. But who knows? This is kind of the third latest character to be introduced alongside Karen the cat and Kaizo, Saiko's friend and band buddy. And we all know what that means when new characters are being introduced.
