Honestly I don't want another arc. Quite the opposite actually. The Waluigi Rejection arc was a cool experiment for SMG4, but I don't think it's something that should be more common. When I first subscribed to SMG4 (around when Kirby first made an appearance), his videos were more goofy and were not to focused on plot.

Some of the Waluigi arc episodes, like the Mario Hustle and Mario Saw however, were very devoid of comedy, and when there were jokes, they felt very out of place. In their video explaining the Waluigi arc, Kevin said that the Mario Saw episode was supposed to be an emotional dramatic episode where Mario really starts to develop emotionally. But SMG4 was never about emotions or character development, it was about memes and retarded stuff.

I had a similar problem with Bob the Rapper. Most of the video was focused on comedy, but when Bob was talking to Boopkins, I could feel the humor draining out of the video, and Mario's ending joke again felt very out of place.

I feel like a comedy based channel can still experiment with more plot-driven content while still producing comedy content. An example of a channel that handles this much better than SMG4 would be Siivagunner. Siivagunner experimented with lore based content, such as the Siivagunner Reboot arc and the Christmas Comeback Crisis, but still focused primarily on comedy content.

In conclusion, I really don't think story arcs are in SMG4's future, and that Kevin and Luke should focus more on videos focused around comedy than plot.
