are actually relatively notable on MFGG proper. Vitiman himself is a Wiki [=SysOp=] on the site, and it is implied throughout that Dudim is supposed to be an occasionally voiced by themselves in real life (see AuthorAvatar for Vitiman along below), willingly or not...
* AuthorAvatar: A majority of the main characters in the Charisma games are caricatures of people who actually worked on them - Dudim is the series' creator and developer (or rather, his pet, supposedly), Cam is pretty much the second-in-command, having come up
with some deranged characteristics a lot of ideas for the series and outlined a lot of the stories as well as having made most of the sprites for Charisma 4, Doc made his own.own sprite for the game, Genogenesis7 contributed a ton of ideas and has done various other things including a bit of spritework, and Miles contributed a lot of ideas as well.
* FrickinLaserBeams: Both Dudim and Genogenesis7 have the ability to shoot lasers from their eyes.
* StylisticSuck: Was very prominent in the earlier games, but [[ArtEvolution the quality gradually ramped up.]]
* TeamPet: A rather unique case with dudim, considering he's the main character.
* TimeTravel: A major plot point in the third, fourth and fifth games.
* WidgetSeries: A series about a flying, time-traveling dolphin shooting lasers at sentient jars of mayonnaise? Seems normal enough.

->''"It's like a minigame collection for fuckfaces!"''
-->'''-- Vitiman''', describing his games pretty accurately.

A series of surreal joke fangames created by Vitiman, originating on the Mario Fangames Galaxy message boards and are [[{{Understatement}} loosely]] based upon his rather oddball conversations he has with his friends, all of whom are represented in the games one way or another. The games chronicle [[BunnyEarsLawyer Dudim]], an incredibly demented SuperMarioWorld dolphin who believes in love, happiness, and most of all, charisma. Joining him are the so-called "Charisma Gang" [[note]]Other names include the "Charisma League Of Petco Employees", "Those Charismatic Hooligans", among many other things[[/note]], a group of equally strange and colourful characters who also believe in the mighty ways of the charisma:

*'''Camtendo''', who doesn't possess any immediately bizarre characteristics, but does fly off into the sky in the very first level of the very first game, justifying it with "his people need him".
*'''Genogenesis7''', who is usually used as a background object and doesn't make a formal playable appearance until Charisma 5. The fact that he seems to enjoy being a rotating push-around may mark him as the goofiest one.
*'''sspp03''', or just '''S''', notable for being ridiculously creepy and sometimes overly violent throughout the series. He has expressed interest in schoolyard fights, has shot many small babies in a row, and will always take things more seriously than he should. In spite of this, rumor has it that he [[PetTheDog loves dogs, though.]]
*'''Miles''', the group's (literal) hero, is always seen wearing his iconic "batbro" outfit. From Charisma 3 onward, he is usually the one to [[spoiler:fight the final boss]], although he unfortunately pays the price of this when he [[spoiler:dies one game afterwards]].
*'''Doc''', makes a quick appearance in the ending of Charisma 3 and another in the intro of 5 during a flashback to the former, although he's implied to be the one always driving the [=DeLorean=] that the characters occasionally use. Yes, a character named Doc drives a time travelling [=DeLorean=]. [[BackToTheFuture It was intentional.]]
*Finally, '''Dudim''' himself is... well, the best way to put it is ''"completely insane"'', but he also has many other traits and quirks that could classify him as both TheHero and a DeadpanSnarker as well.

Currently, 5 installments exist of the series:

!!This (technical) fanwork provides examples of:
* ArcWords: "Have enjoyment" is the main one, although Charisma 5 sets out to make Dudim say ">demand<, or I will be the one sad" as either this or a {{Catchphrase}}.
* AllStarCast: The characters of the game (as well as a few other guests) are actually relatively notable on MFGG proper.
