Mario Recolors (also known as Multi-colored Mario's, Recolored Mario's, and Color Codes), as their name suggests, are a species of human characters who resemble Mario and often represent YouTubers who create Super Mario 64 Machinima although some Mario Recolors are original characters rather than avatars of YouTubers. They predominantly appeared as characters in the first few seasons of the series. Their exact in-universe origin is currently unknown, but it is implied to be connected to Mario himself. Some recolors are actually merged or leaked color codes for the purpose of being background characters, but even among the most obscure recolored Marios, some were not used in the series at all.
Outside the series, they were made back in 2006 by YouTubers such as Megaman765 and Fleskhjerta who had their own recolors and it soon popularized them during their time. SMG4 was one of many who had their own Recolor codes back then. Many Recolors were based off YouTubers who also did Super Mario 64 Machinima. Most of them are retired now and have abandoned channels, with SMG4 being one of the few to actually take off.
In recent years, their apperances have declined to an extreme measure to the point where they weren't seen for years following SMG4 and SMG3's redesigns, until FightingMario54321 returned in a cameo during the events of SMG4: This Will Be Mario In 2030, proving that they still exist despite the events of The Lawsuit Arc left fans with the impression that they were erased from the canon.
