History Recap / SMG4sMarioBloopersWhatIf

* WhatIf: The whole episode is a VignetteEpisode featuring viewer-submitted "what if" situations, which Mario and [=SMG4=] witness after coming into contact with fanfic ideas (represented as [[TakeThatAudience toxic waste]]) as a FramingDevice. Scenarios range from ForWantOfANail scenarios (what if the various {{Arc Villain}}s won?), to absurd hypotheticals (what if everyone was Bob?), and ones that are hard to categorize (What if Melony called Bob a "Sussy baka"?).

** [[TragicVillain Waluigi]]: Since he turned the [=SMG4=] gang (and by extension, [[KillEmAll everyone]]) into T-Pose zombies, the world completely belongs to him and to ensure his victory, he had to kill Wario, his own brother. He afterwards says "[[PyrrhicVictory at what cost?]]", implying that he [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regrets it]].

* ForWantOfANail: Three of the scenarios show what would happen if a.) Mario never turned stupid, b.) [[TheBadGuyWins the villains of each arc won]], and c.) Desti survived the Anime Arc. Each one has a DownerEnding in its own right: in the first, the show loses its purpose and and [=SMG4=] fades from existence; in the second, the Glitchy Gang is implied to have been killed in most of the arcs (or in Bob's case, permanently alienated from him), and Waluigi is especially depressed over killing Wario; and in the third, the Sephiroth clone who would've killed Desti survives to kill Meggy later on instead.

* LyricalDissonance: Mario's depression over the world running out of spaghetti is accompanied by a very sad song... about eating ass.

--> '''[=SMG4=]:''' No more! Where the [BLEEP] are your parents?! Who are your parents?! I’m gonna call Child Protective Services! It’s time to stop!

** [[BigBad [=SMG3=]]]: Since Mario has probably never gotten [=SMG3=]'s phone to get his friends out of the Internet Graveyard, the latter has changed the channel's name to his own to ensure his takeover of the channel and his victory.

* GoldenEnding: {{Subverted}} with the "What If Desti Never Died" segment, which shows a timeline where Desti survived, went on adventures with the gang, and won the final Splatfest with Meggy. Unfortunately, said timeline also resulted in on of the false Sephiroths surviving the battle on Anime Island, allowing it to backstab Meggy when the girls weren't paying attention. Desti then chases down the false Sephiroth and fights it, but the result of the battle isn't concluded.

* DespairEventHorizon: Melony bears witness to the alternate universe where she simps for ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' and declares:
-->''God is dead, and we have killed him.''

* AffablyEvil: True to the actual [=SMG4=] version of Bowser, his replacement in the "cease and desist" timeline [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants says hi to everyone and asks how everyone is]] before kidnapping Princess Pea...err, "Mango".

En route back from Brazil, Mario and [=SMG4=] come across a Fan Fic Idea Plant, and upon Mario rummaging around their waste, they and the audience explore scenarios where certain events of the show happened differently.

* CaptainErsatz: In one scenario, Nintendo copyright strikes [=SMG4's=] channel, forcing him to replace the Mario cast with SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitutes.

* MoodWhiplash: Used in "What if Francis, [=SMG3=], Waluigi and Bob won in their arcs?" After the humorous scenes of Francis' island of waifus and [=SMG3=] taking over the channel, we cut to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Waluigi in despair over killing Wario]]... and then Bob being a huge rap star.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: "Marko" reacts with a BigOMG when "Mango" gets kidnapped. If this were a real [=SMG4=] video, Mario would care less if this happened to Peach.

** "What if: Mario never became stupid when [=SMG4=] showed up." has Mario not understanding [=SMG4=]'s request to do something stupid and [=SMG4=] fades from existence right then and there.

* ForWantOfANail: Three of the scenarios show what would happen if a.) Mario never turned stupid, b.) [[TheBadGuyWins the villains of each arc won]], and c.) Desti survived the Anime Arc. Each one has a DownerEnding in its own right: in the first, [=SMG4=] is left without a purpose and fades from existence immediately; in the second, the Glitchy Gang is implied to have been killed in most of the arcs (or in Bob's case, permanently alienated from him), and Waluigi is especially depressed over killing Wario; and in the third, the Sephiroth clone who would've killed Desti survives to kill Meggy later on instead.

* BlatantLies: Tari asks if Saiko hid something (a KFC delivery truck) under her bed. Saiko denies it.

** [[EvilNerd Francis]]: All the inklings (including Meggy) have been drained to death by the Ink Zuccer 2000, and injected in Axol's Inkweaver so Francis could use it to [[EvilIsPetty make his own island of waifus]] and presumably kill the main cast. He is seen [[LaughablyEvil throwing a birthday party for himself with the waifus he drew]].

* ForWantOfANail: Two of the scenarios show what would happen if [[TheBadGuyWins the villains of each arc won]], and what would happen if [[SparedByTheAdaptation Desti survived]].

* SuddenDownerEnding: "What if Desti never died?" initially plays out like a GoldenEnding, with everyone surviving the events of the Anime Arc and Desti becoming a part of the main cast's adventures...up until the timeline reaches the end of ''Meggy's Destiny'', which sees the Sephiroth replica return and fatally stab Meggy instead, right after the duo had just won Splatfest together. AU Desti in the present day has since been hunting down said replica to avenge her.

* AllForNothing: What Waluigi's ending would have been for him if he had won, because it would have meant his brother's death.
