SMG4: Mario's Illegal Operation

Synopsis
Anime has been banned in the Mushroom Kingdom! What will Mario and Boopkins do for that sweet sweet 2D?

Plot
The video begins with SMG4 and Mario destroying the former's merchandise. Turns out the reason is to make way for the next season of merchandise in the shop and that all Season 1 shirts were 15% off until 30 March.

The actual video begins with the breaking news with Kermit The Frog stating that Anime is destroying the Mushroom Kingdom due to the events of SMG4: Mario and the Anime Challenge, with Steve acting like Ash Ketchum and riding a elephant which he names Pikachu, and Frankie tells Kermit that he kills people and he is holding the "Death Note". The city has been damaged by the Mushroom Kingdom community while Mario, Tari, Fishy Boopkins, and Bob, the ones who accidentally started everything, all watch in horror (excluding Bob). Furious over the destruction of her kingdom, Peach Toadstool declares anime a public safety hazard and permanently bans it. A division that gets people for anime called Anime Secret Service (aka "A.S.S") is then established to destroy all remaining anime, with SMG4 as the second-in-command. Toadsworth also burnt some anime while saying "Why don’t you understand that anime belongs to the trash?".

In a garden, the Mario Bros. watch as a pile of anime body pillows start burning. Luigi complains to (and blames) Mario for destroying anime, only for the plumber to say that anime was dumb anyway. The brothers then see Fishy Boopkins trying to stop an A.S.S member from burning his last anime body pillow, but he fails and starts crying. While trying to comfort Boopkins, the trio sees Lemmy Koopa (one of the Koopalings) and are persuaded into coming with him. Bob (who was waiting for them) shows that he and Lemmy were illegally smuggling anime into the Mushroom Kingdom. The group are then discovered by A.S.S with SMG4, who starts accusing his friends of joining the "bad guys". He ignores Mario when the latter says that anime is what it is and orders their arrest, but focuses on Bob since he was holding the body pillow. Luckily, Bob is saved offscreen by his boss Francis, while the others escape, but not before Lemmy tells Mario and Boopkins to help in smuggling anime. Luigi refuses to participate since that's illegal. Mario on the other hand, sees this as an opportunity to make money, with Boopkins joining in after being promised unlimited anime. The trio then leaves Luigi behind, much to his dismay.

Mario and Boopkins are tasked with taking 4 crates of anime-related stuff to a warehouse, but runs into an A.S.S checkpoint. It shows what happens to people hoarding anime by blowing Hideo Kojima and his truck up. Mario then gets the idea of disguising himself as an anime girl to distract the guards while Boopkins makes a run for it, and later takes off his clothes when cornered, to show he was just pranking the guards. After arriving at the warehouse, the two then meet two masked men, who are actually Swagmaster and Chris in disguise. Unfortunately, Swag blows his cover as Mario recognizes his voice. As a last resort, Swag calls the A.S.S police, once again joined by SMG4, and blows up the crates holding anime with his rocket launcher. SMG4 then tells Swag to stand down (as the latter wants revenge against Mario and Boopkins for getting him and Chris fired from being prison guards) and let him talk with his friends. SMG4 then tells Mario and Boopkins to surrender, but Mario responds by grabbing a doll, holding the Youtuber in a half-nelson and threatening to turn him into a weeaboo with the doll if not left alone, causing SMG4 to get annoyed and call him an idiot. Despite having him outgunned, the A.S.S are forced to comply, while Boopkins distracts them to make their escape. Swag and Chris then agreed to lie to Peach that SMG4 betrayed them and call it a day.

In the streets, Mario and Boopkins started to panic, since Francis will kill them for losing his anime. They are then (conveniently) found by him and Bob, while the latter shows his disappointment of Mario and Boopkins for failing. However, the former is still convinced they will win, especially with SMG4 saying that he can help them since he worked for A.S.S, and has access to all of the security codes. They are given another chance, much to the delight of Boopkins. Their job is to escort someone out of the Mushroom Kingdom, then they are off the hook.

The gang then shows up in the airport, where they are joined by Saiko Bichitaru. Boopkins then asks her about why she's leaving from the Mushroom Kingdom, with the latter saying that since she is anime come to life, the A.S.S. will try to kill her. Saiko then said that they going to Japan, which delights the gang. However, Francis doesn't let Mario go because he needs him to make up for the money he lost. The video ends with Francis asking Mario for an inhaler after laughing too much and too hard.

Trivia

 * The events of this video (and the Anime challenge beforehand) may have started a brand new arc for the SMG4 series, following the Waluigi Rejection and Rapper Bob arcs.
 * In the episode, SMG4 has voice acting provided by Luke Lerdwichagul himself, outside of the intros where he advertises sponsors, merchandise and tours.
 * This is SMG4’s first appearance since the episode SMG4: Super Challenge 64.
 * Luigi breaks the fourth wall by saying that the banning of anime will lead to a series of events (such as arcs), though Mario debunks this.
 * This is the first time ever in the series excluding the War of the Fat Italians specials where SMG4, one of the main protagonists, is an antagonist, though a temporary one.
 * The initials for the Anime Secret Service is a pun on the profane word "ass", and Mario later lampshades this. A more appropriate name for the service is A.M.S, which stands for “Anime Moderation Service.”
 * It is unknown how Tari reacted to the anime ban, though her reaction was most likely similar to Boopkins.
 * Even though Meggy didn't appear in this video, it can be assumed that she supported A.S.S. and the ban on anime, if not outright joined the former, due to her hatred of it.
 * The title of the video could be based off the line "Mario's gonna do something very illegal."  from SMG4: The Mario Mafia when Mario was threatening to beat up a Goomba he suspected was working for Bowser.
 * This was also used in SMG4: Mario and The Diss Track when Mario proposed beating up Bob.
