SMG4 (abbreviation of SuperMarioGlitchy4 and formerly known as Super Mario 64 Bloopers) is an Australian machinima web series founded by Luke Lerdwichagul. It mainly focuses on parodies of Nintendo franchises or other works. It was first uploaded on the SMG4 (at the time known as Supermarioglitchy4) YouTube channel on May 7, 2011 with the episode "The Cake Is a Lie!".[1]
History edit
SMG4 was founded as a web series in 2011, though the channel of the same name the web series is uploaded on was founded in 2009.
Upon SMG4's inauguration, videos almost had no original IP and had much lower production quality than that of nowadays. Most original SMG4 episodes consisted of Mario as the prominent character, among other Nintendo characters. The channel was originally named Supermarioglitchy4, and episodes were branded as Super Mario 64 Bloopers. Both were renamed as simply SMG4 in 2017. Two other prominent series other than SMG4 were featured on the SMG4 channel - R64 (originally known as Retarded64) and Guards N' Retards. These two series have since been discontinued and merged into the SMG4 series regarding YouTube's stricter policies and the word "retard".
In 2018, SMG4 began to transition to original IP. The first story arc in the series also occurred said year and added more storytelling aspects to the series. Over the past few years, SMG4 has switched to more original IP and much higher production quality. Multiple characters have been redesigned into an original IP.
Style edit
SMG4 is generally known for having a light-hearted, comedic tone, albeit occasional darker tones. The show is known for referencing pop culture, obsessively using memes and featuring adult jokes. During some episodes, especially during arcs, the tone severely darkens.
