Lets Play / Playing With Mah Wii

PlayingWithMahWii, AKA Anthony (Sometimes referred to as "PWMW" or "The Wii Dude"), is a Let's Player who mainly uploads Nintendo and PC gaming content. Despite the name, he doesn't play games just from the Nintendo Wii, but on most Nintendo consoles, a Sega console, the PC, or whatever else he decides to branch out in.

Anthony created the channel on October 11, 2008, and mainly played Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, until he started his first LP, F-Zero for the SNES. Besides doing Let's Pla- er, playthroughs, sometimes he may upload gameplay videos, music that he thinks is awesome, a countdown video, a stream, etc.

Anthony is a member of 2 defunct collab channels, ABTZComms, and RandomAssComms. His Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, donation page,Twitch channel, GameAnyone page, Steam Group, and Discord server. Visit his Archive Of Our Own and Fanfiction.net pages for his fanfiction work.

Not to be confused for Playing with a Trope.

Tropes Include:

• All There in the Manual: Anthony makes a lot of references to his IRC channel's inside jokes and members that may be lost on non-regulars. Also, in general, he'll also be more personal in his chatroom than in his videos.
• Alternate Character Interpretation: invoked In his Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures Playthroughs in Seconds video, he believed that Pac-Man is one of the most bipolar video game characters ever.
• April Fools' Day: Does a video every year. Here's the playlist
  • 2009: The very first one.
  • 2010: His Hotel Mario playthrough Part 1 was really his EarthBound playthrough Part 45.
  • 2011: His Mario Kart Wii Part 51 video was really his finale video playing 3 times.
  • 2012: Banjo-Kazooie Part 1, done as a homage to Retsupurae.
  • 2013: His Minecraft Part 1 playthough was really Super Mario 64 Part 21.
  • 2014: Averted, instead starting a new playthrough, but he made an actual video to trick people into thinking he was doing an April Fools' Day video that year.
  • 2015: Mario Kart 8 Races part 23. Wait, it's loading....
  • 2016: Boss Battles #14 The epic fight against Brock!
  • 2017: Part 32 of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door but played backwards.
  • 2018: Super Mario Odyssey part 53, but Dec commentates instead of Anthony.
  • 2019: Channel Intro/Landing Video (April 2019), Updated monthly, nothing out of the ordinary, right? His best friend SeventhDisaster dubs the video in his native Norwegian.
  • 2020: Animal Crossing: New Horizons playthrough part 1 turns out to be a reupload of his 10th Anniversary video.
  • 2021: An ASMR version of Part 1 of the Kirby's Epic Yarn playthrough
  • 2022: Kirby's Epic Yarn playthrough Part 2 which is actually a long-awaited face reveal.
• Artifact Title: Anthony created his name back when the Nintendo Wii was out. With the release of the Nintendo Wii U, some fans wondered whether he would change his name to PlayingWithMahWiiU, but Anthony outright refused.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Sometimes in a video, he could be off on a tangent (maybe telling a story, or reading the game's Wikipedia page) and suddenly something in said video happens and comments on it before getting back to what he was saying... usually.
• Awesome Music:invoked His Wii-Kend Music playlist, where he uploads 2 songs from video games that he likes every weekend.^note Well, except when Schedule Slip hits, of course. He ended the series with Wii-Kend Music #150.
• Big "NO!": When he gets sent back to the beginning of a mission in Super Mario Galaxy 2 after dying.
• Big "OMG!": Here, his first time experiencing King Bills.
• Birthday Episode: Has done a few videos uploaded on his birthday.
  • His 2011 Birthday Stream. Part 1 and Part 2.
  • He bought the Wii U and New Super Mario Bros. U on release, which was the same day as his birthday, November 18, and he began his NSMBU playthrough.
  • His 2013 Birthday Stream.
• Brick Joke: At 4:25 in part 12 of his Super Mario Bros. 3 playthrough, Anthony says that he hopes that everybody will forget about the Double Entendre he just said. 5 minutes later, an annotation pops up, saying "Hey it's been 5 minutes, did you forget what I said about the nuts rolling on the long thing?"
• Buffy Speak: Part of his signature style.
• Call-Back: Anthony's final song for Wii-Kend Music is the same song used in his first channel intro video.
• Catchphrase:
  • "Hey everybody, this is PlayingWithMahWii..." usually to begin a new playthrough.
  • "TF2 crazies" Is part of his TF2 Battles greeting.
  • "Welcome back, everybody" is used in continuing parts of a series.
  • Calling everything "fancy."
  • "SHINE/STAR/GRAND STAR/LEAGUE BADGE GET!"
  • "Just throwin' that out there."
  • "Mini-spoiler alert," for moments he reveals seconds before it happens.
  • "Time skip" or "Time skippery" whenever he's not saying "Magic of Video Editing." ^note  Unrelated to Time Skip
  • "Five years," a hyperbolic catchphrase he adds whenever something goes on a little slower than he would like. Usually said in "Why does this take, like, five years?"
• Companion Cube: In his INSIDE (2016) gameplay, he befriends the submarine, naming it "Little Jim."
• Cross Player: For the Pokemon TPP Version playthrough, he plays as a girl.
• Darker and Edgier: Not so much darker, but things get edgier when he sometimes gets his friends as co-commentators or guest stars. They might be a large departure compared to Anthony's nature.
  • Anthony likes to play M-rated games on his channel, too, like his ongoing Team Fortress 2 series.
• Deadpan Snarker: Oh freaking boy. A signature trait in pretty much every one of his videos.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Funnily enough, concerning Ant's Dodrio, Velocitus. In the Pokemon Stadium gameplay video, it knew Tri Attack, before the video Pokemon TPP Version part 14 was seen Velocitus learning it for the first time.
• Everything Trying to Kill You: One of the main gags in Playthroughs in Seconds: Little Nemo the Dream Master.
• The Faceless: Anthony has never shown his face to the audience, until 2022 after posting a face reveal video as an April Fools joke video.
• First-Name Basis: Anthony is just known as Anthony, or Ant for short. He is just as comfortable with revealing the rest of his name as he is with revealing his face.
• Formula-Breaking Episode: Does this quite a bit.
  • WarioWare: Smooth Moves was his first live playthrough.
  • A Nightmare on Elm Street (NES) was his first Co-Op playthrough.
  • Super Mario Galaxy 2 was his first blind playthrough.
  • Super Mario World was his first live Co-Op playthrough.
  • Jumping Flash! is his only playthrough of a Playstation game.
  • Super Mario Bros. is his first live streamed playthrough.
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is Anthony's first blind post-commentary playthrough, as well as the first Zelda playthrough on the channel.
  • Grand Theft Auto V is his first playthrough of an M-rated game.
  • In general, Anthony may revive an old series at any moment, even if coming back from one of his schedule slips. He may even give it a fancy new look.
• Fun with Acronyms: "MOVE!"^note Magic of Video Editing!
• Goddamned Bats:invoked "Bats in video games!"
  • Anthony actually named his Crobat in Pokemon SoulSilver "BatsInVGs". Crobat was the only video game bat he ever liked, until he played Minecraft.
  • Considers the Peahats to be this.
• Gosh Darn It to Heck!
• Hell Is That Noise: The sound of the vending machine whirring in Generation 1 Pokemon, during the Pokemon TPP Version playthrough.
  When I heard that sound, I thought my game was freezing, not gonna lie here.... It actually sounds like something's blue-screening!
• How Dare You Die on Me!: Said to Dec in the Super Mario World playthrough.
  If you die, I'm gonna kill you.
• Nintendo Hard: Tends to play games that are considered very hard, such as the Little Nemo: The Dream Master, Syobon Action, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, and the infamous Battletoads.
• Orphaned Punchline: "Paper."
• Power Creep, Power Seep: In Mario Kart 8 Wi-Fi Races part 27, he intentionally does this when playing this game with his friends. He'd rather not get competitive all the time because he'll usually get first.
• Precision F-Strike: Anthony did call his friend Dec "his bitch" that one time...
  • Straighter example from an earlier stream. He was reading a comment, but still.
• Real Men Wear Pink: Anthony is a HUGE fan of Sylveon (as well as the other Eeveelutions, but his favorite is Sylveon) to the point where he made a theme deck around it in Pokemon Trading Card Game Online.
• Running Gag: In Wind Waker HD, he kept bashing the walkthrough he used to get through the game.
  • And again, bashing the walkthrough in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
  • The Wii remote low battery warning popping up in Super Mario Galaxy 2, first popping up in part 19. He finally changes it in part 55. It comes back in part 90.
• Shout-Out: The second Boss Battles video has him fighting Champion Blue, and used Red's team from Pokémon Origins right down to the movesets. ^note Except he forgot to give the Lapras Surf.
• Soundtrack Dissonance: Anthony decided to port the majority of his Wii-Kend Music playlist to GTA V. Many of the songs are cheery, happy and cutesy, and GTA V... isn't, so this was inevitable. Lampshaded in Part 37 that he thought it was ironic that during a cop chase sequence, the Pokémon Red and Blue Cycling music was playing.
• Toilet Humour: His Super Mario World playthrough (with his friends Dec and Cory) is filled to the brim with this. Not to say this is absent in his normal videos, though.
• Trauma Conga Line: In Mario Kart Wii Wi-Fi Races Part 31, Ant finished SNES Ghost Valley 2 losing 154 points. The following race, GBA Shy Guy Beach, he got screwed over with lightning just near the item boxes, so he desperately drove back for them. Late in the last lap, he got hit by a green shell, which put him at range of a cannonball's explosion, then when Ant tried to gain speed to continue, he was struck by lightning again. He got an item box soon after, hoping for a speed boost but instead got a Pow Block, and just went straight to the finish line. He lost a whopping 330 points, a total loss of 484 points within 2 races!
• Troll: In the beginning of Anthony's Mario Kart 8 First Look, he recorded himself unboxing Mario Kart 8.
  Anthony Hey, wait a minute. I can use this camera to show my f- (cue Gilligan Cut to the Wii U screen)
  • ASlime/Ostred/Kafro Hudrep/the #1 toenails guy is a troll that lurks in the comments of Anthony's videos. What most people don't know about him is that he's actually a very old internet friend of Anthony.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: invoked Anthony can't tell for crap the gender of Birdo. So much so, he actually made a video on it.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: My Awkward Fears is about, well, his fears. The first video is the only one in this short series that isn't related to a dream, Phone Operators.
• With Lyrics: He frequently sings along to the background music in the games he plays. For example, in part 35 of his Wind Waker HD playthrough, he sang continuously for 62 seconds.
