Hello hello hello! I am Fishy Boopkins, a mysterious creature of the sea!

—Fishy Boopkins’ first sentence in SMG4 N' Pals: Seaside Stupidity Part 1

Fishy Frank[7] Boopkins (usually called Boopkins for short) is one of the three tritagonists (alongside Bob Bobowski and SMG3) of the SMG4 series.

He is an amphibious sea creature who is one of the last Boopkins, the other being his father and his younger brother. Fishy and his best friend, Bob Bobowski, have been hanging out with SMG4's Gang on multiple adventures. He is also one of the three biggest otakus (alongside Axol and Tari) of the gang, going so far as to hang out with dakimakura pillows. Due to the events of SMG4: Deleted, he met his past self and created a time paradox (in the form of a black hole), therefore he was sent to the Internet Graveyard, along with the rest of the gang (who did not meet their past selves) except for Mario. However, he and his friends were rescued by Mario in SMG4: A Totally Normal S̷͍͖͉̙͚͎̑̃̿͑̆̇̚͠M̸͇͇̦̮̌̿Ğ̴̫̗̖͎͔̳4̶̞͇̰̎̀́̚ Episode.

In Season 11, like many other characters (i.e. majority of the SMG4 Gang except for SMG4, Meggy, Axol and Melony), he gains a huge decrease in appearances and is forced down to a minor character due to the prescense of new characters such as SMG0 and returning characters such as Axol and SMG3; because of this, majority of his appearances have been forced down to opening advertisements, just like Saiko Bichitaru and Bob.

Since SMG4: CEO OF RIZZ, Fishy is now permanently subtitled.

Appearance

In his Debut Boopkins looks exactly like the Spike koopas from the Mario games

In SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2022 he gained a Permanent IP change he now looks like a round green ball with the massive hands with a cyan mohawk

Due to the Criticism of his the latter's design, Boopkins got a 2nd Redesign along with SMG4, SMG3, and Meggy Spletzer in ........Announcement??????, He looks like his debut design though with extra fish quality. He now has cyan plant-like hair, gills on his body, a fish fin, a lighter tinge of green on his stomach, yellowish-brownish Pac-Man eyes, and geta for footware.

Personality

Fishy Boopkins is naturally happy, optimistic, and friendly but rather unintelligent. He is shown to enjoy playing with his toys, which implies that he is somewhat childish.

However, like Bob Bobowski, he secretly craves attention and being noticed. This can be seen at the end of SM64: RETARDED RECAP 2016, where it does not explode any end to the name of its favorite brands, before being terminated by SMG4.

Boopkins is also a weeaboo because he keeps a huge collection of Dakimakuras and cardboard cutouts of anime girls, and considers them "waifus" (Japanese for wives), though most of these have since been burned by Saiko and the Anime Secret Service.

He also mentions that he watches school-themed anime in SMG4: High School Mario. He is also a terrible singer, and his skills are so bad to the point of him singing Bee Gee's "Staying Alive" caused the earth to explode, though this does not happen when he tries rapping in War Of The Fat Italians 2017 or The 2nd Movie.

He also eats rocks; it's implied that he does this because he can not get food the natural way, but he actually enjoys rocks as seen in SMG4: Mario University, as he eats all of the large rocks his teacher gives him. This trait is shown in SMG4: Stupid Mario Sports Mix, due to him eating bowling balls and his belief that the bowling place is a buffet, much to Bob's confusion. In SMG4: Stupid Mario Paint, he is shown to be an outstanding painter.

When he is bullied by others, he has a tendency to call upon his dad to punish those who are being mean to him. However, he chose to get even with Mario himself after he was launched by a slingshot, though his friends assisted him with doing so.

However, he is known to be somewhat stubborn and impulsive when he was eager to help Bob Bobowski during the latter's concert in SMG4: The Mario Concert, but it ended up ruining the concert and led Bob to betray him and end their friendship.

For much of The Rapper Bob Arc, Boopkins became depressed due to ruining Bob's concert, which follows his depression in SMG4: The Melancholy of Fishy Boopkins until Meggy and Tari bring him to the Maid Cafe. However, in SMG4: Mario and The Diss Track, Boopkins became traumatized over the events of the arc, until Saiko said that he was her "friend" (albeit reluctantly). Because of this, he ultimately turned back on Bob for betraying him by helping Saiko, though he was somewhat upset by shutting the door in front of his former best friend. In SMG4 Christmas 2018: The Most Important Thing, Bob realized the errors of his ways and became friends with Boopkins again.

Powers and Abilities

  • Abnormal Mouth: Boopkins is somehow able to stretch his mouth for long, abnormally natural lengths, to the point of being longer than his entire body. This can be used in a beneficial way, such as when Boopkins consumed the Teletubby Wall of Admiral S. Swipe in SMG4 N' Pals: Seaside Stupidity Part 2.
  • Horrible Singing: Since this is mostly due to his mouth, Fishy Boopkins is an absolutely horrible singer in every aspect. His singing is so bad that in DerpTV: Mushroom Kingdom's Got Talent, it can actually cause an apocalypse and destroy the world completely.
    • Incredible Beatboxing: In sharp contrast, his beatboxing is incredibly good and when combined with Bob's rapping, was used to make the Mario Recolor zombies bow down before them.
  • Hobo Water Magic: Fishy Boopkins can also give humans the ability to breathe underwater in some way, and is distributed through his hands.
  • Dad Call: Fishy Boopkins can summon his dad, Joe Boopkins, when he is being made fun of (or harmed) to throw or destroy the people making fun of (or harming) Fishy Boopkins. This has been seen in multiple videos. Other times, Joe may be nice, such as getting people to places like Didney Worl or giving ice cream to his son for finishing homework.
  • Spiked Balls: Being a Spike, Fishy Boopkins is capable of extracting spiked balls from his mouth, though it's unknown if he still has this ability after his design change.
    • In a segment from SSENMODNAR 12 - STOLEN SPAGHETTI EDITION on accident after getting sick from eating too many rocks (and one Magic Rock).
    • In one scene of SMG4: Lord Of The Memes; in his corrupt state of mind, he had a pile of spiked balls next to him. He threw these off a cliff to kill Mario and Luigi as they napped. The problem with this ability is Boopkins's lack of accuracy; the spiked balls hits every character passing by, all while leaving the Mario Bros. completely unscathed, though it's unknown if Boopkins actually regurgitated these spiked balls beforehand.
    • During Mario and Meggy's time-out in SMG4: Doomsday but Mario is Okay, Mario grabbed Fishy and fired a spiked ball at Meggy as part of their quarrel over Fishy's chocolate bar.
    • Despite all three occurrences so far, it is still currently up to speculation if he truly knows how to attack like a proper Spike.
    • It is also unknown if he still possesses this ability in his new form.
  • Sonic Waves: In SMG4: The Super Dudes. Fishy Boopkins has the ability to make soundwaves at Wario and his minions. His sound waves are powerful enough to destroy anything from helicopters to planets.
  • Durability: Fishy Boopkins is able to survive having his kart launched into the sky when other racers were knocked out under similar assaults. He also survived hitting a plane at high velocity (Note that Mario has enough strength to blow up the Earth) in Mario's Jackass.
  • Super Waifu Ultra Smash: In SMG4: Stupid Mario Tennis Aces, he is able to summon waifu pillows as weapons.
  • Giant Waifu Summoning: In Stupid Mario Tennis Aces, he was also able to summon a giant Waifu Body Pillow. It was strong enough to send Waluigi flying throughout the entire planet.
  • Excellent Artistry: While he usually drew low-grade drawings that were usually eye-searing, with huge motivation and dedication, as well as having a "crayon expansion pak", he could paint high-quality drawings, sometimes even perfect imitations of the real deal, such as the Mona Toadsworth painting. However, this also caused his arm to be set on fire.
  • Alcohol Immunity: He was shown to be unaffected by being submerged in what would be a lethal amount of vodka, though he was not shown drinking it; rather, he was immersed in it.
  • Self-Destruction: Boopkins' alternate self from SMG4: My Mario Academia has the ability to self-implode. As he states however, doing so would kill him.

As "The Lava King"

After Mario flooded the Mushroom Kingdom with lava to enhance his game of the the floor is lava with Boopkins, Fishy Boopkins grew obsessed with the lava and became the antagonistic Lava King, granting him a suite of powers to attempt to stop Mario fixing it.

  • Lava Immunity: Fishy Boopkins, previously fearing for his life from the lava, became immune to the heat.
  • Lava Control: He used a column of lava to rise up through the floor of Mario and Steve's Mushroom Kingdom 2.
  • Skeleton Minions: Fishy Boopkins became able to reanimate those he "saved" from the lava as Dry Bones to do his bidding.
  • Fire Breath: After eating some lava, Fish Boopkins can spit it as a massive fireball or a continuous stream of fire that he can use to propel himself backwards.
  • Dodging: When Mario threw a fridge at him he was able to leap over it with ease.

Criminal Record

Although Boopkins is a child, he has done a fair share of crimes over the years.

  • Attempted theft of the American Declaration of Independence: In The Mario Channel: MARIOBUSTERS, Boopkins was challenged to steal the Declaration of Independence from a museum. Having no idea what he was doing though, Boopkins touched the glass dome, which caused security to try and arrest him. As a result, Boopkins ended up taking the Declaration and fled the museum, but while he was catching his breath, the police ran him over and arrested him.
  • Shipping: Due to the existence of shipping police officers who believe shipping to be a crime against humanity, poor Boopkins was a target for them.
  • Framing: When he was caught shipping himself with Hatsune Miku, he framed Meggy for writing fanfiction in an attempt to get away.
  • Underage Drinking: While he was trapped in a well in SMG4: Mario And... The Well, Meggy thought it was a good idea to fill the well with a "borrowed" firetruck. It didn't help since Boopkins ate too many rocks that day, but he had an open mouth during it. At the end of the episode it was revealed that this water was actually vodka. Nobody knows about this besides Chris and Swag.
  • Illegal Smuggling: During The Anime Arc, Boopkins, along with Mario, became the newest members of The Anime Cartel, a criminal organization that smuggles anime into the Mushroom Kingdom following its banning. The charge was probably dropped after anime was unbanned.
  • False Imprisonment: As the Lava King Boopkins imprisoned Mario in a cell flooded with Lava as vengeance for Mario casting him aside.
  • Attempted Murder: Twice, both when mad with power.
    • Under the influence of the Ultimate Meme, he attempted to kill Mario and Luigi to claim the meme for himself.
    • When Mario found a means to stop the lava, Lava King Fishy Boopkins went full antagonist and did everything in his power to kill Mario and stop him.

Reception

Despite the fact the he's still a popular character in the series, Boopkins' redesign in SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2022 was met with massive panned reception from fans, citing that the redesign looks worse than Boopkins' original design, notably criticizing the design overall with the more thin tufts of hair and larger mouth, also criticizing the body shape, which is basically just a circle.

In response the staff gave him a new redesign, being more detailled and more close to his original appearance in the video "........Announcement??????".

  • Initially, SMG4 disliked Boopkins, finding his naive nature to be stupid and irritating.

In later years, SMG4 not only treated Boopkins better, but also actually considered him a friend.
  • He almost succeeded in stealing the Declaration Of Independence. though it hadn't been his intention to steal it.
  • Fishy Boopkins is apparently a grownup (debunked by himself in SMG4: Mario Preschool) as he said that he did not see land until he was a man. This could just have been a plan to sound like a badass, as he admitted as much.

  • He enjoyed playing Monopoly, although a unique version of the game.
  • Fishy Boopkins was directly responsible for the conflicts in the first three arcs. In The Waluigi Arc, he convinced Waluigi to try his luck at a Smash audition, which led to Waluigi getting rejected again and discovering his powers in SMG4: Waluigi's Time. In the Rapper Bob Arc, he made Bob reveal his true nature before he decided to become a full-on jerk in SMG4: The Mario Concert. In the Anime Arc, he was involved in taking part in an anime contest which led to Bob using a Kamekameha at Peach's Castle, causing Peach Toadstool to ban anime through the Mushroom Kingdom in SMG4: Mario and the Anime Challenge, and in the second part, he lets the Anime Cartel know how the Inkweaver worked exactly in SMG4: Mario Saves Anime, which eventually led to Meggy Spletzer's kidnapping and later transformation and the death of Desti. Such action of his lead to some of the series fans to start hating him, although he had unintentionally started those arcs while he wasn't realizing it due to him being a naive child.
    • The YouTube Arc is the first arc in which neither he nor Bob are directly responsible for the conflict.

    • However, Luke chose a Spike because he couldn't find any good fish characters.
  • The video file for Fishy Boopkins' debut episode was originally corrupted. However, Luke had made a backup of the video, allowing the video to be uploaded. If he had not done that, Fishy Boopkins would likely have not existed.

  • He used Comic Sans as his font during his first 3 Rap Battles (2017, 2018, and 2019). He used the usual Super Mario 286 font in SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2020 and SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2022.

    • Like SMG4, SMG3 and Bob, he also got criticism for his redesign.
  • In Mario Does Pranks, it's implied that he has a resistance to salty foods, which apparently makes sense because he lives in the ocean and since ocean water is composed of salt water, which of course has a high concentration of dissolved salts, this would support the implication.
  • In the Sunset Paradise episode Cat-sino Royale Boopkins's W.O.T.F.I 2022 redesign was leaked as an image on Meggy Spletzer's camera.
  • In Mario Plays Cat Mario but every time he dies the walls close in, a new Boopkins redesign was leaked.
  • In SMG4's stream "It's Gotta Be Perfect..." he can be heard knocking on the door trying to get SMG4 to leave his room.
  • Ever since SMG4: If Mario Went Fishing... Boopkins has been confronted harshly with the reality/seriousness of living that randomness doesn't work in most cases. In SMG4 Movie: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT he didn't want the castle to be destroyed, but since the Goop was too powerful, it must be destroyed. In "SMG4: Our New Home" his randomness method was ruthlessly ignored by SMG3.
