Recap / SMG4 - If Mario was in... Baldi's Basics

Go To

THIS IS NOT A SCARY VIDEO. THERE ARE NO JUMPSCARES.
When Mario's inability to do even basic math starts causing money problems, SMG4 is forced to call in Baldi to tutor Mario. Will he be able to make it out of the schoolhouse with his ass intact?
  • Bittersweet Ending: Even though Baldi redeemed himself, Mario is still traumatized and lying on the floor, thinking he's defeated.
  • Stern Teacher: Baldi. Get his problems wrong, and expect to get smacked silly.
  • Rage Breaking Point: While Baldi was willing to smack Mario around for getting answers wrong, it's only when Mario actively flips him off that he breaks out the ruler and starts chasing Mario with intent to give him a paddling.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: Instead of having a proper model, Gotta Sweep is depicted as Yoda holding a comically oversized broomstick. Word of God explained that at the time of the episode's creation, Gotta Sweep didn't have an available model, at which point the creators made the connection that Gotta Sweep already did sound like Yoda, who had plenty of models.
