Meggy Spletzer

Meggy is an Inkling character from SuperMarioGlitchy4 's series of bloopers. She first appeared in If Mario Was In... Splatoon, after Mario freed her from a can of paint in Peach's castle. Later, she dragged him into Inkopolis, where Mario joined her team to participate in the Turf War.

Background
Meggy is a female Inkling who hails from Inkopolis. She is an active competitor in local Turf War battles and dreams of becoming a successful athlete. As such, she refers to herself as an "upcoming star."

Looks
Meggy is an inkling girl with orange ink color, fair skin and pink eyes. Unlike most of the Inklings, she normally wears three headgears as opposed to only one. They are the Studio Headphones, Pilot Goggles and the Short Beanie. The rest of her gear set contains the Zink Layered LS and the Octoling Boots. The Studio Headphones and the Octoling Boots are the only gear pieces that appear to be retained throughout her other appearances where she wears different gear sets.

In SMG4: Wild, Wild Mario, Meggy's Short Beanie is replaced by a typical cowboy hat, something that is not found in both Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

In SMG4: The Movie Audition, Meggy wears four headgears. In addition to her usual three headgears, she also wears the Tinted Shades colored black. She does not wear any clothing gear, instead she wears a simple black shirt.

In SMG4: Mario University and SMG4: The Mario Hustle, Meggy wears four headgears again, this time she also wears the Black Arrowbands. Her clothing is the School Uniform.

In SMG4: The Mario Mafia, Meggy's Pilot Goggles is absent while her Short Beanie is replaced by the Special Forces Beret, although unlike in Splatoon where its color is always set to match the inkling's ink color, it appears as colored pink. Her clothing is the Black Inky Rider. She has the same headgear set in SMG4: Final Fantasy Mario while her clothing is the Blue Sailor Suit and keeping the skirt from the School Uniform.

History
Prior to her first appearance (If Mario Was In... Splatoon), Meggy was captured by an unknown adversary (possibly Toadsworth) and trapped in a can of paint in the basement of Peach's Castle until Mario freed her. Afterwards, she returns home to Inkopolis, dragging Mario with her down a nearby drain. Upon returning, Meggy attacks Mario, believing that he was the one who trapped her in the can. She then quickly runs off to train.

Mario eventually runs into Meggy again when he sees her walk down an alleyway. After watching her team, the Splats Squad, during their training, he asks if he can join them, only for Meggy to turn him down due to his lack of experience and their lack of an opening on their team. However, Meggy is eventually forced to let Mario in after his attempts to impress her leave one of her teammates injured. While Mario still proves to be inexperienced, he starts to show more commitment to practicing after seeing how serious Meggy is towards winning the Turf War. As such, the two slowly bond as they work together during the rest of the session.

The next day, the Turf War begins, and Mario and Meggy both work to best their competition. While Mario still struggles with following Meggy's lead, he manages to come around once he starts to use his own skill set to help the team. Even so, the Splats Squad still manages to lose, leaving Meggy distraught. Nevertheless, Mario manages to comfort her with his simple-minded humor, and she resolves to keep working to get better. The two eventually part ways as Mario heads home, with Meggy now considering him her friend.

Meggy eventually reappears in The Mario Channel: MARIO'S CHALLENGE as one of the many competitors that go through Mario's tower. She proves to be extremely skilled in most of the challenges (particularly the Slope, the Bullseye, and the Gauntlet), even making it all the way to the semi-finals. However, she ultimately loses the competition to Shroomy.

She appears once more in SMG4: War of the Fat Italians 2017. Meggy serves as one of the challenges for SMG4 and Mario in a one-on-one shootout, where either one must land a hit on her in order to win. However, this proves to be difficult as her attacks frequently overwhelm them. SMG4 loses the match when he lunges out at Meggy, only to get hit by an oncoming train. Mario attempts to fake her out by pretending to surrender then shooting at her when she's not looking. However, Meggy doesn't fall for it and dodges his attack. She then shoots him, making Mario lose the match as well.

Meggy later participates in the rap battle, siding with Mario and Fishy Boopkins, while also displaying her skill at singing.

Meggy, in Mario and the T-Pose Virus, is playing a card game with Fishy Boopkins and Bob when Mario and Luigi (being chased by T-Pose Zombies) break into the room. Meggy attempts to fight them off, but soon joins their ranks...

Personality
Meggy is frequently displayed as a tomboy who enjoys playing sports and competing in multiple challenges, her main sport of interest being Turf Wars. She can be very competitive and will usually take whatever challenge that is thrown at her. The most notable instance of this is in The Mario Channel: MARIO'S CHALLENGE, as Meggy is one of the few contestants who cares more about the value of winning rather than the prize that Mario promises.

Meggy also has a very smug sense of humor, as she frequently throws snide remarks and taunting gestures at her opponents. Particular examples include telling Mario that she mistook him for a big red target when she accidentally shot him and when she sticks her tongue out at Bowser during Mario's Challenge after rebounding from his attempts to sabotage the Gauntlet. Meggy also seems to enjoy jokes based on stupidity, as she occasionally finds Mario's idiotic actions and phrases to be funny.

However, Meggy also has a bit of a sensitive side, as she hates losing and is hard on herself when her best efforts fail or don't prove to be good enough. Even so, she is able to rebound and regain her confidence fairly quickly, which she seemed to learn from Mario's confusing but well-intentioned advice.

Trivia

 * In If Mario Was In... Splatoon, Meggy's eye color frequently changed, ranging from pink to teal to purple, started and more commonly with green. It is unknown whether or not this is just a production error relating to her various model types, although this is most likely because the inkling models are divided into the seven possible eye colors from Splatoon in GMod and therefore not easy to locate the specific eye color model without trying to search for it specifically.
 * Later on in her appearances, her eye color is set to pink.
 * Her dream career is a lawyer.
 * She is unable to swim. This is most likely a reference to Splatoon, where Inklings would dissolve if they touched water, leaving their clothes behind. However, SMG4 hasn't showed this to be the case with Meggy or any other Inklings.
 * SMG4 himself has revealed to not like Meggy's fans as shown in the captions for SMG4: Mario Preschool. A photo can be seen to the upper right.
 * She doesn't like watching tentacle anime and has to be dragged by her feet to be made to watch some.
 * Her voice seems to alternate from Callie's to Marie's and sometimes an Octoling. possibly because SMG4 wanted to give her some variety when She talks.
 * Many people thought she was 15 until SMG4 said he didn't know if she was over 18 or not.
 * Meggy is the only person Mario shows any sort of respect for. While he has shown to be rude towards practically everyone (i.e. Bowser, Luigi, Toad, Peach, SMG4 and so on), he is always willing to help Meggy.
 * When she was auditioning in SMG4: The Smash 5 Trials, she was unable to reach the first platform and gave up (contradicting her competitive personality) due to the platforms being far higher then she could physically jump. Mario helped her by throwing her to each platform.
 * A caption actually comes up at 4:20 into the video, telling the viewers not to ship Mario x Meggy.
 * Master Hand was going to deem Mario's help as Illegal but allowed it anyway.
