It is a normal day at the SMG4 Showgrounds. Mario, SMG4, SMG3, Meggy, Saiko, Tari, and Bob are just outside of the front door of the Showgrounds castle. Currently, they are in the middle of a Puzzlevision episode where Mario is possessed by Puzzlevision and is trying to kill the rest of the cast on set.

Meggy: Snap out of it Mario! You can't let Mr. Puzzles take over your body!

Mario: But I need him! I need him so I can be smart like him!

Mario: Don't you guys always hate how I'm so stupid! I can fix this! I can fix this!

SMG4 pauses for a moment to think of what to say. Then, SMG4 softly speaks his mind to Mario.

SMG4: No...

SMG4: Mario... being yourself... is more important.

Mario's Puzzlevision controls begin to glitch out.

Mario: Being myself is...

Mario: ...more important?

Mario stops for a moment before beginning to fight back against the controls. Mario begins to have a seizure as he struggles to free himself from Puzzlevision's mind control. With one brilliant flash, Mario finally breaks free of his restraints, and goes back to being his stupid self.

Mario: Wahoo! Wahoo! Wahoo!

Mario: Weeeeeeee!! Weeeee!!! Weeeeeee!!

The entire cast on set begins to applaud

Tari: I'm so glad to see you back to normal Mario!

Bob: Well at least you're not trying to kill us now lol!

The cameras cut out, and the lights dim.

SMG4: Aaaaand, cut!

SMG4: I think that wraps up filming for today.

SMG4: Y'all are free to go!

Mario begins to celebrate.

Mario: Yaaaay!!!! Mario can finally get his dinner!

Mario: I'm sooooooo going to stuff myself in spaghetti right after this!

Mario: I might even swim in some of the spaghetti too :D

Mario dashes out the door and heads immediately back home. However, there will be no spaghetti to be had when Mario gets home. When Mario gets a sufficient distance away from the Showgrounds, he takes a look left, and takes a look right. When he confirms nobody and nothing is in sight, he drops his happy facade and reveals the depression and anger that has weighed him down for more days than he can even count.

Mario: Welp. That episode sure sucked ass.
