—Luigi and Mario foreshadowing the Anime Arc, SMG4: Mario's Illegal Operation |
The Fourth Wall is an imaginary wall setting the viewers, readers, or players and the characters apart in any type of media. The characters are sometimes able to break the wall and communicate with the viewer/reader/player, point out their existence within their respective piece of media, or interact with something outside of their fictional world.
There are numerous instances in the SMG4 channel where the fourth wall is broken during episodes, while some were focused on breaking it.
