It was a peaceful day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario was being himself, playing with spaghetti, as he played with the spaghetti, he heard heavy footsteps. Soon, the castle doors busted open which scared Matio, “Waa!” He cried as he looked, at the doorway was Smg4, he looked scared.
“Smg4, what are you…?” Before Mario could finish his sentence, Smg4 ran over and picked Mario up, “Waa, what are you doing!?” He yelled. Smg4 then ran to his room where the computer was set up. Once in, he slammed the door shut and threw Mario onto the ground, “Oof!” Mario went as he rolled a little.
Once the chao subsided, Mario got his bearings together and looked at Smg4, he was understandably pissed as he got back up, “Smg4, what the hell is going on!?” Mario shouted. Smg4 looked at him, “I f*ck up Mario…” He muttered, “I’m sorry, you did what?” Mario asked, “I f*cked up big time Mario.” Smg4 said aloud.
“How so, what did you do?” Mario asked, “Well, this is gonna sound crazy, but I promised to get a video out by tomorrow to my fans and I haven’t done anything.” Smg4 told Mario. Mario just stared for a few moments, “Sounds like laziness to me, not my problem.” Mario said with a smile.
“Oh it’s gonna be your problem.” Smg4 muttered darkly. “Uh, how so?” Mario asked, Smg4 then pulled a gun out along with a plate of spaghetti, Mario gasped, “No…you wouldn’t.” Mario said, “I would.” Smg4 muttered, Mario was sweating bullets, after a few moments, Mario got on his knees pleading, “Fine, fine I’ll help, spare the spaghetti!” He said.
Smg4 then smiled and put the gun away, “Good to know, now we need to think of a story.” Smg4 said he picked up Mario and put him into a chair and then sat down next to him. “Alright come on Mario, think, think!” Smg4 told him, Mario used his last brain cell to think of something, then the cell formed something.
“I got it…we do…a react video.” Mario said, suddenly, Smg4 slapped him across the face across the room, “Hey, what the f*ck bro?” Mario said. “React videos are the cheapest form of content, and I’m nothing like that.” Smg4 responded, “Says the guy who uses memes and dead memes, make that make sense.” Mario said, getting up.
Smg4 looked at in offense, then pointed the gun at him, “What did you say you little sh*t?” He asked calmly, Mario gulped, “Nothing.” Mario quickly responded. “Alright now haul your fata** over here, we need to think of something.” Smg4 said, putting the gun away, Mario came over and sat back down.
Mario pondered some more, “How about…a Mario Adventure?” He asked, Smg4's face lit up and shook Mario with happiness, “MARIO, YOU’RE A GENIUS!!” Smg4 shouted, he then set Mario back down as Mario felt dizzy, “Ooooo…” He groaned, Smg4 got down to work writing out possible scenarios of a Mario adventure.
After what felt like forever, Smg4 got 5 stories written down and looked at Mario, showing him the different drafts, “Alright Mario, which one works the best?” Smg4 asked Mario, Mario examined the stories, after a bit, he decided on…3, “#3 works, it should do.” He responded, “Alright, alright, we’re getting somewhere” Smg4 responded.
“Yeah now you might wanna get to making the episode.” Mario said, he then walked over and pulled a curtain to reveal the night had passed, Smg4 jumped from his seat in shock and fear, “WHAT, THE NIGHT PASSED ALREADY!!?” He yelled, “Well yeah, you literally took all night writing the damn stories.” Mario grumbled, “In hindsight, you should’ve written one draft, not 5.” Mario responded.
Suddenly, they heard people outside, when they looked, they saw fans who were pissed off, “WHERE’S THE VIDEO!?” One shouted, “YOU LIED!!” Another shouted. Mario simply pulled the curtain back, blocking the fans, “yeah so you might wanna chop, chop.” Mario told Smg4, Smg4 wasted no time, he started working.
As he did, the fan suddenly broke through the castle door, “AH! Mario holds the door, I just need some more time!” Smg4 shouted, “Okie dokie!” Mario said with a thumbs up, he walked over to the door and simply sat, the fans tried to bust the door down, but nothing worked, meanwhile Mario sat in a comfortable position, drinking a smoothie, “Pff, losers.” He chuckled.
After a bit of time, Smg4 finished the video and quickly uploaded it to YouTube, “There, done!” Smg4 said, he held his breath, hoping for a miracle. A miracle soon came as notifications started popping up on the fans phone which was heard from the room, the rioters soon quiet down and were happy as they left the castle.
Once the two were sure they were gone, Smg4 hugged Mario, “THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!” Smg4 shouted, hugging him, Mario with no hesitation kicked him in the nuts. He then picked the spaghetti Smg4 had in his pocket and simply walked away, leaving Smg4 clutching his crotch.
