Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Dermatomeculidus- Part 3 (May 3rd, 2008) [Runtime: 6:14. Total Runtime: 15:27]
Prelude:
And now, the conclusion to the BloodBass Bet trilogy that contains a random minor subplot about lizard urine for some reason. And I can say with confidence that this video contains the best moment in MM54321 history ever since that scene where Bill Gates scammed the Mario Brothers out of cash for an Atlantean Diamond. Yes, we’re in for a special treat with this one.
Here’s the video if you want to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztXj6hnA0qY

We start the video with the random disease side plot, where Luigi has to remain submerged in lizard pee for 45 minutes while listening to Cueshe because that’s the new Scat…

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Dermatomeculidus- Part 2 (May 2nd, 2008) [Runtime: 6:14. Total Runtime: 15:27]
Prelude:
So my friend corrected me after seeing the last review and pointed out that the Dermatomeculidus disease was based off of something from Drake and Josh, not iCarly. He also told me it’s a fictional disease some young girl made in the show and not even real in-universe. So it turns out that MM based this off of a disease that’s fictional even in the world it came from.
Here’s the video if you want to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoXKFQ4dVHU
The Main Video:
The video starts by spending only twenty seconds on the fictional disease plotline. Mario and Luigi have gotten the lizards needed to remedy Luigi’s disease and plan on r…

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Dermatomeculidus- Part 1 (May 2nd, 2008) [Runtime: 9:13]
Prelude:
I’m willing to bet the question you have on your mind right now is “what the hell is a Dermatomeculidus?” Well when you type that word into a Google search, you get this series of videos and that’s pretty much it. I think I read somewhere it’s supposed to be based on the fictional disease from iCarly, but I can’t bother to verify that’s true, and if it is true then MM certainly didn’t get the name spelled correctly. So from here on I’m just going to assume it’s a made-up fictional disease that MM invented.

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Security System (Part 2) (May 1st, 2008) [Runtime: 9:59. Total Runtime: 18:28]
Prelude:
In the last video, Mario finally wised up and got a security system called S.A.M. for the castle. Also, a rip-off of Venom took control of Candy and tried to invade the castle, but got absolutely destroyed in the process. Also, there wasn’t anything I found to be notably terrible or boring about the last part. For this part, I’ll first ask how many of you know Hungrybox, the infamous Melee player? Why am I referencing him in an MM review of the same story that rip-off Venom is in? Once again you’ll just have to find out.

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Security System (Part 1) (April 30th, 2008) [Runtime: 8:29]
Prelude:
The last video was a huge plot repeat of Fury of CandyCao7 and was overall a big disappointment. Thankfully, this two-parter at least has an original plot, so it should be somewhat more interesting. So how many of you know of Venom from the Marvel Comics? I’m certain a good amount of you have heard of that character, right? Why am I referencing him in relation to an MM video? You’ll just have to find out.

Shadowkirby64’s Betrayal (April 28th, 2008) [Runtime: 10:17]
Prelude:
The last couple of storylines have been absolute madness. First it was Atlantis and Microsoft’s founders posing as museum owners, then we had a whole conspiracy of a sunken island in the Bermuda Triangle along with geographical impossibilities. This time, MM’s decided to cut back on including real world things and decided to create a story starring one of his YouTubers instead. Or at least that’s what I would be saying if MM actually came up with this idea. In actuality this idea was made by another YouTuber. I don’t know why they picked Shadow Kirby out of all the YouTubers to star in this one, but they did.
But hey, why should I be complaining? Other YouTubers have had th…

Trapped in the Bermuda Triangle- Part 7 (April 26th, 2008) [Runtime: 10:28. Total Runtime: 48:40]
Prelude:
It’s time for the finale of Triangle: Bermuda Edition. In the last part, Candy and Yogamoanyo somehow managed to accomplish the impossible by winning against the universe’s Mary Sue. So, supposedly, this is going to be the part where they conquer the world. Given that this is ten minutes long I highly doubt they’ve actually won, and MarySue54321 is going to find some way to screw these two over. So, how is MarySue going to cheat death this time?

Trapped in the Bermuda Triangle- Part 6 (April 26th, 2008) [Runtime: 3:22. Total Runtime: 38:12]
Prelude:
We’re nearing the end of the Bermuda Triangle series, only two parts left to go! In the last part, all the generators that upheld the Bermuda Triangle were destroyed and the triangle’s secret island resurfaced as a result. Given how keen everyone seems to be on not having this island resurface and how bizarre this island is, this probably wasn’t a good idea. Also MarySue54321 cheated death yet again, journeyed further into the island and is about to absolutely anticlimactically destroy Candy and Yogamoanyo. I know this because how the hell are these two antagonists going to beat a time-travelling Mary Sue who can cheat death on a whim, e…
The MarioMario54321 Review Marathon - Part 104
Trapped in the Bermuda Triangle- Part 5 (April 25th, 2008) [Runtime: 9:11. Total Runtime: 34:50]
Prelude:
In the last part, we saw MarySue54321 run around a triangle island for nearly ten minutes and try to feed one of its inhabitants to a fish. He got eaten as a result, and he definitely deserved it. In this part, we’re focusing on the extraneous fights and the plight of MarySue’s helpers to destroy the generators. And I think that’s fine, there’s already as much of the Bermuda Triangle’s wackiness in the last part as there should be.
Here’s the video if you want to see it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbQDhWmpThg

Trapped in the Bermuda Triangle- Part 4 (April 25th, 2008) [Runtime: 9:46. Total Runtime: 25:39]
Prelude:
Last time on the Bermuda Triangle, the YouTubers met a cavalcade of supporters of Candy and Yoga who had their names censored. Also, it was confirmed that the civilians of Bermuda were completely supportive of their murder triangle. Unfortunately, in this part we’re focusing back on MarySue54321 as he investigates the sunken island of the Bermuda Triangle. And yes, this entire near ten-minute video is going to be MarySue running around a retextured island, which is about as fun as it sounds.

Trapped in the Bermuda Triangle- Part 3 (April 24th, 2008) [Runtime: 4:31. Total Runtime: 15:53]
Prelude:
In the last part, MarySue54321 finally faced a challenge in the form of the Bermuda Triangle’s fog, then bypassed it entirely by getting a shuttle from NASA. It was not explained how he got their cooperation, and it will never be explained. Also, three YouTubers were sent out to destroy the Bermuda Triangle’s generators. In this part, we’re fortunately not focusing much on the cringe Mary Sue and instead focusing a bit on the other YouTubers instead. And maybe we’ll get an explanation as to why these generators exist and why they haven’t been destroyed yet.

Trapped in the Bermuda Triangle- Part 2 (April 24th, 2008) [Runtime: 4:46. Total Runtime: 11:22]
Prelude:
In the last part, Candy and Yogamoanyo teamed up to kidnap the Mario Brothers and strand them in a submerged island located inside the Bermuda Triangle. As expected, Candy’s plan was absolutely terrible in execution (though surprisingly somewhat competent in execution) and shouldn’t have worked at all. What wasn’t quite as expected was the existence of a conspiracy where people actually safeguard generators that power the Bermuda Triangle, which means there’s people in the world that want ships and planes to disappear. Unfortunately things aren’t going to get better since MarySue is about to join the plot, aka the worst character in the …
The MarioMario54321 Review Marathon - Part 100
Trapped in the Bermuda Triangle- Part 1 (April 23rd, 2008) [Runtime: 6:36]
Prelude:
Wow, I’ve reached the 100th part of this review series. I believe I’m supposed to plaster this entire review with 100s and constantly call this review spectacular in accordance with MM’s tradition. But if I wanted to be accurate, I would have already done this in the 96th part, so I’m just going to ignore that and move on.
Quite literally the video after MM devised the Bill Gates Scandal of 2008, MM decided he wasn’t done forcing static awkward images of the real world in his universe and decided to follow up Bill Gates with a series focusing on the Bermuda Triangle. Much like Atlantis, it’s a rather famous myth (at least in the United States), so I’m not too …

SM64 Bloopers- The Magic Diamond (Part 3) (April 21st, 2008) [Runtime: 7:20. Total Runtime: 20:23]
Prelude:
Welcome to what I consider to be one of the best MM videos ever made. Occasionally, MM’s made videos that are middling at best and bafflingly boring or enraging at worst. But very rarely, there are moments of sheer incompetence and ridiculousness that MM creates that end up becoming comedic gold. This part is yet another one of those so amazingly incompetent that it’s incredible moments. I consider this part on par with or even exceeding Mario’s Raceway Takeover Part 3, the megation laser line in Top 10 Worst Paper Mario moments, the Douchebag and GOLD Team’s castle makeover from VillainSue and the Shadowreavers, and Prince Mario from …

SM64 Bloopers- The Magic Diamond (Part 2) (April 20th, 2008) [Runtime: 5:03. Total Runtime: 13:03]
Prelude:
In the last video, Mario stumbled across Atlantis and gained the power of a literal god after being gifted a magic diamond. And, unsurprisingly, he used the diamond to bring pain and death to his enemies instead of using it for good. I don’t know why Neptune thought that such a repulsive monster should have that kind of power, but apparently he did. This part, fortunately, focuses on Luigi instead. I have more faith that Luigi won’t abuse whatever relic Neptune gives him.

SM64 Bloopers- The Magic Diamond (Part 1) (April 20th, 2008) [Runtime: 8:00]
Prelude:
Following the introduction of Bomberman, MM decided to create a longer three-parter for his next story. He also decided to base his next story on a magical diamond found from, of all things, Atlantis. I’m not sure how or why MM got the inspiration for this idea, but I am grateful. This has been one of the series that I’ve been looking forward to the most, mainly because of how ludicrous it gets in the finale. Also, I feel like this series best demonstrates the amazing positives that come with MM using still images. Of course, the downside is that this seems like it’s a cheaply made fanfiction. The upside, however, is that MM is unrestrained and can unleash …

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- 101 (Part 2) (April 19th, 2008) [Runtime: 5:50. Total Runtime: 14:54]
Prelude:
Firstly, I want to point out that MM made a mistake by not making the title of this video 102 instead of 101 Part 2. 101 Part 2 just sounds awkward and nonsensical since it’s not the 101st video anymore. Anyway, last time we had Bomberman’s first appearance in MM’s universe, and he and Mario began an adventure in a cloud palace. In truth it was just the first half of MM’s playthrough of the final area of Bomberman 64, with Bomberman doing all the work while the video pretends that Mario is useful in any way. Needless to say, I’m not quite looking forward to the rest of MM’s playthrough.

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- 101 (Part 1) (April 19th, 2008) [Runtime: 7:04]
Prelude:
After reaching his one hundredth video, MM decided to start his next wave of videos by introducing a character who’s going to be very prominent in his videos going forward. This character has had an influence on him ever since his first video, using a track from one of this character’s games in said video. This character is Bomberman, a video game character that I’m certain many people are not familiar with. The series he hails from isn’t quite as popular as many other game series, though it has a great many games under its belt and is still getting new games out under Konami.
For some reason, however, MM loves this particular series. He likes it so much that it…

TOP 5 BEST/WORST MARIOMARIO54321 SERIES/CHARACTERS UP UNTIL THE 100TH VIDEO SPECIAL:
After reaching MM’s 100th video special, I’ve decided to take a slight pause in my marathon of the series. Instead of reviewing the next video, I will instead be reviewing on the journey thus far. I will admit, watching these videos again gives me both a sense of nostalgia and a sense of depression seeing just how flawed and primitive these videos are. There’s a sort of innocent charm to some of them, yet also numerous instances of filler, horrible characterization for the protagonists and a great many questionable writing decisions. At this point, I’d say that my pessimism outweighs my optimism when it comes to this series. And honestly, I kind of feel bad…

The 100th Video Spectacular!!!!! (April 18th, 2008) [Runtime: 9:04]
Prelude:
After quite a long time, we’ve finally reached MM’s supposed one hundredth video. It’s been a long journey to get here, and I’ve had to sit through both some hilarious entertainment and some boring lows. Much like his supposed 50th video, this is not his current 100th video but rather his 96th. This means that our Three Musketeers of Missing MM Videos has extended into the Four Missing MM Videos of the Apocalypse…or at least that’s what I thought at first.
Curiously, after doing some extensive research, I’ve uncovered proof that the four videos missing before this video may not include the same three videos missing before the fiftieth. Which means that we could have …

Super Smash Bros- Incredible! (Parts 1 and 2) (April 17th, 2008) [Runtime: 9:44 (Part 1), 8:09 (Part 2), Total Runtime: 17:53]
Prelude:
Have you ever wanted to see MM play through Classic Mode of the original Smash Bros on Nintendo 64? Well, for the next two videos, that’s exactly what you’ll be getting. I’m not kidding. There’s no original plot that MM made, no dialogue between characters, it’s literally just Classic Mode in Smash Bros. The only twist is that MM is using cheats to get Mario to 1 million points and get the “Incredible!” endscreen. Because it’s just gameplay, I’m just going to cover both of these parts in one review because it’s going to be short.

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- The Hell Tournament- Part 2 (April 15th, 2008) [Runtime: 9:24. Total Runtime: 16:24]
Prelude:
Welcome back to the Hell Tournament. In the first part, seven antagonists and a sandbag competed in a tournament that all of Hell’s residents would compete in, which revealed that somehow only eight people reside in Hell for some reason. Half of them were eliminated in the first round, including the sandbag. Also, nobody besides the Devil talked in the last part so it was rather underwhelming. Will the competitors actually talk in the next two rounds? And what sort of challenges await them?

Prelude:
Welcome to what’s probably going to be one of my guilty pleasures during this marathon. I’ve had a fascination for game shows/tv competitions ever since I was young, I always thought it was interesting to see who would win and how the competitors would struggle with all the obstacles they’re faced with. And since this video is about a tournament, I was bound to like it in the earlier days. Heck, I even made one of my videos about a second tournament, specifically the first round of it. Nowadays it’s still one of the MM stories I enjoy watching the most, but I recognize that it’s not as good as I once thought it to be (much like all of MM actually…

Prelude:
Welcome back to the series that’s supposed to be centered around Sonic the Hedgehog finally appearing in the MM universe. In the first part, Sonic barely appeared at all and we instead focused on Mario’s quest to grab both a bag of Fladoodles and a Big Mac from McDonald’s. Yes that was actually the plot of the last video, and yes it’s as insane as it sounds. Will the plot get any better this video? Will Sonic actually get to do something notable since it’s supposed to be a series centered around him? Or are we just going to continue focusing on the Fladoodles?

Prelude:
Well, considering what type of channel this is, this franchise being included in its videos was bound to happen eventually. I’m certain that many of you are well-aware of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and the reputation it has on the Internet. Being as well-known as it is, and with MM54321 being the avid online Mario 64 content creator that he is, it’s not much of a surprise that he saw fascination with Sonic the Hedgehog eventually and started including it in his videos. I’ve had a bit of exposure to the franchise myself, enough of a baseline familiarity that I know who the characters are. Though I’ve barely played any of the games.
For everyone who’…

The Revenge of CandyCao7 (April 12th, 2008) [Runtime: 4:18]
Prelude:
Welcome to what basically serves as the epilogue of the Shadowreaver movie. MM decided that there was more of a story to tell concerning that group, particularly with its former second-in-command CandyCao7. We’re going to be focusing on this character in particular throughout many of the videos in 2008, this is just the first in a series of stories focusing on him in particular. And, for most of these videos, Candy’s character arc boils down to whether he decides he feels like being a dick or not. Yes, the six times he’s already flipped his morality haven’t been enough supposedly. He’s so infrequent with his mortality that the counter will probably reach the twenties if not…

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Onilink10 (April 12th, 2008) [Runtime: 8:22]
Prelude:
Last time, we saw three new YouTubers who got their own dedicated shared video together. It wasn’t a very good video at all, and we learned pretty much nothing about any of them. There was another person that requested to be in MM’s videos, however, and for some reason MM decided to give this one his own video instead of having him share one with the others. Even more strangely, this one has actual dialogue and slightly more effort with the plot, which none of the other three got. I have to ask, what was so special about this YouTuber that he not only gets his own video, but gets an adventure with dialogue? And is his own video going to be any good, or will it be …

Adventures of the Newcomers (April 11th, 2008) [Runtime: 6:01]
Prelude:
As I said before, MM had a tendency to include quite a lot of different YouTubers into his videos. Early on, there weren’t that many of them, as MM wasn’t quite as well-known back in his early years. But as we progress further and further into his library of videos, these recolored Marios are going to very much increase more rapidly. This video marks the first time where there’s more than one of them introduced in the same video, with there being three in total this time. All three had requested to be in MM’s videos, much like many more will in the future. MM decided to give those three this video to let them be in the spotlight, giving them their own adventures so to sp…

Mario Bloopers- The Bet(2) (April 10th, 2008) [Runtime: 5:21]
Prelude:
Uploaded the same day as the Urine Maze, MM created a sequel to “The Bet”. Except this time, it’s not Mario and Luigi engaging in another bet. This time, it’s two of the YouTubers competing against each other! That sounds a bit less exciting than established characters competing, but who knows, maybe this sequel will be better than the original? I’m a bit concerned, though, because the last video was an idea by Saiyan Scientist’s Brother. And he has made some very questionable choices thus far when it comes to plot. So are we going to see another Population Control situation in this video?

Super Mario 64 Bloopers: The Urine Maze (April 10th, 2008) [Runtime: 10:18]
Prelude:
We’re finally done with MM’s first feature-length story, and it was certainly an experience. It had some of the highest highs so far (ironically) and some of the lowest lows as well (unironically). But now that we’re past that story, we’re going back to single-video plots. And we’re starting off with an idea that MM no doubt has come to regret, the Urine Maze. Yes you’re reading that right, this is a video centered around a maze of urine. It is about as appealing to watch as it sounds. Though, this is an idea coming from the same person who unironically named one of his villains “Douche Bag”, so MM hasn’t reached his age of maturity quite yet. Going to say t…

Prelude:
We’re at the last part of MM’s first movie-length production, and I have to say that it’s been both a dreadful and a hilarious experience. I’ll get more into my overall review later, but for now I’ll say the bad definitely outweighs the good. This part is the “climactic” final fight between MarySue54321 and VillainSue12345, which is not going to be a climax at all because given the prior episodes and given this is the last part, the outcome is completely predictable. I can’t wait to feel the inevitable disappointment seeing MarySue win over VillainSue. Also since most of the video is just going to be this fight, which doesn’t tak…

Prelude:
Last time on VillainSue and the generically-evil sounding organization name, the last of the MacGuffin stars were collected. It was proved that absolutely none of VillainSue’s subordinates gave a damn about supporting him since they couldn’t even try to do their job properly. Also, in perhaps the worst moment in the MM series thus far, MarySue54321 revealed that he was not in fact on vacation and couldn’t be bothered to stop this whole conflict in the first five minutes because he’s a dick. Also there were a bunch of editing mistakes that MM54321 couldn’t bother to leave out. This part starts the fight between MarySue and VillainS…

Prelude:
Last time on VillainSue and the generically-sounding evil organization name, the filler hunt for the MacGuffin stars continued. And in the process of claiming these stars, we encountered more members of VillainSue’s team. One was someone literally called the Douche Bag, another was a Captain Falcon clone who nearly succeeded in kicking a Naruto fan’s ass, and the last was a major disappointment not worth mentioning any longer. Also it was by default the best part thus far, maybe because it was the only one so far that VillainSue wasn’t in. Will the remaining members of VillainSue’s group turn out to have ridiculously bad names li…

Prelude:
Last time on VillainSue and the Generic Villain Organization name, VillainSue enacted his master plan: to redecorate the entire castle to have his face, then pretend that he conquered the world and bugger off while leaving his minions to guard a set of MacGuffin Generic Good-Sounding Name Stars. Meanwhile, Candy who can’t consistently stay on a side for too long decided to flip sides yet again, with Mario giving one of the most infuriating lines thus far by claiming the “heroes” knew about Candy’s allegiance to VillainSue the entire time. Also, the hunt for the MacGuffin stars started, with one being collected by Yoshi Chalk. This t…

Prelude:
Last time on VillainSue and the Generic Villain Organization name, both of the one-dimensional mooks got defeated by the Wario Brothers. And somehow these mooks, despite being so one-dimensional, continued the Oiram tradition of making me feel slightly bad for them because of how unmerciful their defeat was. Their loss also enraged VillainSue enough for him to finally use his secret weapon: CandyCao7, who manipulated all the different-colored Marios running around the castle into the Vanish Cap Course. What will VillainSue do next? Is there anything more that Candy will do besides this one thing that apparently he needed to be kept …

Last time on VillainSue and the Generically Evil Sounding Organization, the plot yet again failed to progress forward in any meaningful way besides Wario and Waluigi deciding to team up to beat Oiraw and Igiulaw. We also saw the coolest-looking Mario recolor yet. Thankfully, for this episode, I can confirm that the plot finally gets to progress for once!

Welcome back to Villain Sue and the group that hasn’t really shown up yet. When we last left off, there were only two events of any plot significance: Wario fighting Oiraw and Candy going into hiding for some reason. The rest was pretty much VillainSue failing to kill anyone. Will anything significant happen in this part? Or is it going to be as much filler as the last one? Also, YouTube audio swapped this video just like the previous one, meaning you’re going to be hearing Drowning Pool’s “I Don’t Care About Anyone” for the first half of this video. Hope you’re a fan of emo rock music!

OiramOiram12345 and the Shadowreavers- Part 3 (April 2nd, 2008) [Runtime: 8:08. Total Runtime: 22:55]
Prelude:
Last time on VillainSue and the generically evil sounding organization name, I lost my mind at how somehow it skipped an entire two to three hours of night and an entire dawn in a span of five in-universe minutes. I guess I also reviewed the stupidity of Luigi’s plan and how Christianity’s representation in this series is completely butchered but I’m still more hung up about the stupid-ass missing amount of time that should have been there for some reason. However I’m going to need to move past that for now because I have to get into the next part, hopefully the entire day doesn’t suddenly go missing in this part. Also, much like th…

Super Mario 64 Bloopers: April Fools Day! (April 1st, 2008) [Runtime: 4:38]
Prelude:
I lied last time when I said we’d be moving into the next part of VillainSue and the Shadowreavers. And if you believed me, that means you got pranked! Hah! Anyway, since this movie was being made around the beginning of April, it was bound to be interrupted by an April Fool’s special video. And, sure enough, we have a video on April Fool’s day! It’s a video where there’s no apostrophe on the word fools and where the video description says I’ll die from fright watching it. Considering how horrifying the other videos are, for this to be the video that warns me I’ll die of fright is very, VERY concerning.
Also, I want to point out that we’re three months in and t…

OiramOiram12345 and the Shadowreavers- Part 2 (March 31st, 2008) [Runtime: 6:13. Total Runtime: 14:47]
Prelude:
Welcome to the second part of the Villain Sue story. Last time, we saw the introduction of our main villain, VillainSue12345, whose introduction was a lesser version of Igiul’s in almost every single way imaginable. We also saw Mario being a colossal idiot for taking him on despite knowing full well what happened to Igiul last time. Will Mario actually grow a brain this time around? And will VillainSue redeem himself as a villain after his near terrible performance as an antagonist in the last part?

OiramOiram12345 and the Shadowreavers- Part 1 (March 31st, 2008) [Runtime: 8:34]
Prelude:
Readers, we’re breaking new territory. We’ve reached “OiramOiram12345 and the Shadowreavers”, the next major story of the MM canon. Remember how long IGIUL was at five parts? This blows it out of the water with ten different parts. Yes, ten, which makes this MM’s first ever story that goes on for over an hour. This is the first bona-fide movie-length story that’s going to be covered in this marathon. And it all centers around MM’s own doppelganger, OiramOiram12345. Already this isn’t a good sign because I’ve made my opinion of MarySue54321 quite clear, so it’s very likely we’re bound to get a villainous Mary Sue as our antagonist.
However, this story has fa…

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Luvbi (March 30th, 2008) [Runtime: 5:24]
Prelude:
Welcome to MM’s second Super Paper Mario-referencing story. This time, we’re going to see a video centered around a character from that game, Luvbi. I’m not sure why MM decided to focus on this character in particular as she’s definitely one of the least liked characters from that game, but he really likes Super Paper Mario so why not. This character also actually appears in the video instead of being relegated to a letter, so at the very least it’ll be somewhat interesting looking at how MM handles the character interactions here. Also I have to warn you that there might be potential Super Paper Mario spoilers here, so if you have not played that game then you might …

SM64 Bloopers: The Revenge of the Monkey (March 30th, 2008) [Runtime: 3:32]
Prelude:
Last video we saw the debut of a mysterious dark figure who’s going to be the main bad guy coming up, and he had a pretty lackluster and incompetent showing. We’re still a couple of videos away from seeing him again, however, so in the meanwhile we’re first going to see a sequel to the Secret of the Waterfall story. You remember the monkey from that story, right? The monkey that everyone, including the literal wind itself, hated for some reason? Well MM decided that he somehow survived his death fall, meaning he’s back for some revenge on Mario! I don’t know why MM thought a sequel story was necessary to create but why not, maybe the monkey can redeem himsel…

The Fury of CandyCao7! (March 29th, 2008) [Runtime: 10:00]
Prelude:
Welcome back to another CandyCao7 video. Last time, Peach was assassinated even more than before, Mario and Luigi lost any concept of peripheral vision and we got one of the most unintentionally hilarious lines in the entire series. It was a trainwreck, but it at least had some glory compared to previous trainwrecks. This time we’re dealing with another CandyCao7 storyline, and this time it actually counts as official canon. Will this video be any better or make more sense than the last one?

SM64 Bloopers: Mario's Greatest Mistake (March 29th, 2008) [Runtime: 6:50]
Prelude:
We’ve made it, readers. We’re finally on the last Mario Party-based video in a long time! I have to say that I’m happy because these videos aren’t really all that interesting to watch. After this video, it’ll be just Mario 64-centric plots for a good while. However, I will say that this video should be a massive improvement because we’re not hearing MM’s voice at all. That alone should at least make the audio tolerable. Also, for the title, you’d be curious as to what Mario’s so-called “greatest mistake” is. Given he’s done a bunch of horrific mistakes already, this must be something colossal. Did he kill Peach with his bare hands this time instead of letting…

Mario Kart 64 Bloopers (Voices!) (March 29th, 2008) [Runtime: 6:07]
Prelude:
Welcome to the second video where MM for whatever reason decided it was a good idea to use his voice instead of text. Only instead of doing this in Super Mario 64 again, we’re doing this in Mario Kart 64. Given how this went last time, this is going to suck.

The Main Video:
We start off with even more crispy in-game audio than last time thanks to this being Mario Kart 64 instead of Super Mario 64. This, I think, demonstrates exactly why MM gracefully uses other music tracks inste…

Super Mario 64 Bloopers: The Solar Eclipse -Part 2 (March 28th, 2008) [Runtime: 9:56. Total Runtime: 17:51]
Prelude:
To nobody’s surprise, MM is a video-making speed demon and uploaded this story’s second part on the same day as the first. And I will admit that is sort of impressive. Though, in the last video, we dealt with Scatman’s songs for over half of the video’s runtime. And while Scatman songs are cool, they had nothing to do with the plot at all. Hopefully this video actually gets on to showing the solar eclipse instead of stalling for longer.

Super Mario 64 Bloopers: The Solar Eclipse -Part 1 (March 28th, 2008) [Runtime: 7:55]
Prelude:
After bombarding us with two greatly boring Mario Party videos, MM decided to change things up by making a video based on Super Mario 64 instead. I’m more than fine with that since he’s marginally better at creating content with Super Mario 64 than he is with anything Mario Party related. This time, he’s basing his video off the solar eclipse event. For those of you who don’t know, a solar eclipse is where the moon moves in between the Earth and the Sun at an angle where it appears the moon is blocking the sun. It happens about every eighteen months, but only at remote locations on the Earth. So unless you’re actively seeking where they’ll happen n…

Super Mario 64 Bloopers- Wario's Plan (March 27th, 2008) [Runtime: 9:51]
Prelude:
Welcome to the second video that CandyCao7 had a part in. Last time, we saw a pretty bad introduction for the character that consisted of MM playing Mario Party minigames for 2/3rds of the runtime. However, this time, the episode seems to be focused on Wario based on its title. And since Wario has been consistently enjoyable throughout these videos, I’m hoping that CandyCao7 can save himself from that boring plot last time and deliver us something worthy of the “diabolical things” speech.

CandyCao7’s Game (March 26th, 2008) [Runtime: 3:32]
Prelude:
Welcome to the introductory video of one of MM’s most recurring characters. And since he’s going to be appearing so frequently, it’s time to introduce who exactly he is. CandyCao7 is a fan YouTuber of MarioMario54321, like many others are. The main difference is that for whatever reason MM frequently decided to include CandyCao7’s ideas into his videos and made CandyCao7 one of the most heavily recurring and important YouTubers in his series. But as far as an introduction video goes, this is pretty bad and lackluster. How so?
