Synopsis
The SMG4 Crew are at war... Who's side are you on?
Plot
The crew visits a bootcamp run by Shroomy after the crew were forced there by Peach for being too obsessive over video games, but to Shroomy's understanding, she wants them to connect with nature.
Axol and Meggy feel excited, Mario, Bowser, and Saiko feel irritated, while Tari was nervous (like usual).
After Shroomy finished a tour around the camp, the boys stole the camp house that was first chosen by the girls, presumably because it had better beds and was bigger. Later that night, the girls discuss competition tactics while the boys discuss whether masturbation was a sport or not.
In the morning, Shroomy introduced the gang to abseiling. Despite the fact that he said that it was no competition, the others didn't listen. When it was Bowser vs Saiko, the latter won while Bowser crashed onto a ledge. When it was Axol vs Tari, the former won while Tari remained frightened. When it was Mario vs Meggy, the former tried cheating by attempting to fool her using a phone call. It appeared to have worked with Meggy wondering who was supposedly her mother while Mario dashed down to the floor. Just as he celebrated his "victory", he saw Meggy staring at him waiting, causing him to realise that the boys lost.
Being sore losers, the boys trashed the girls' camp house that night. The girls then dumped them on their mattresses onto a river. They wake up, only to be teased by the girls (except Tari). Provoked, Mario suddenly transformed into Jotaro Kujo, and declared war on the girls, only for the boys to get eaten by a Cheep Chomp off-guard.
Throughout the days, the two groups fight each other in various ways: Mario ran over Meggy in a yacht, Tari used the Inkweaver to create a seductive Carl Wheezer to prank Axol, Saiko made Bowser catch a spiked ball while playing volleyball, Mario and Axol taunt Tari through "spooky" messages, Meggy spicing up Mario's Spaghetti, and Bowser trying to scare Saiko (only to get kicked in the face).
One morning, the boys set up a bear attack on the girls. When the bear beats Tari, she ended up bursting into tears. The girls were angry against the boys, claiming that they took it too far. Eventually, the boys apologized for taking it too far. However, they had to play one more game.
The boys have to run around the field searching for a flag while being hunted down by the girls with paint guns. All the boys lost and the girls officially forgive them. Despite this, Mario refuses to let off easy and flips Meggy the bird.

Criticisms and Controversies
The episode was controversial upon release and is often considered to be among some of the worst episodes of the show due to its generally unfavorable reviews. Fans criticized the girls for appearing to be rather hypocritical towards the boys, in particular when Meggy called the boys out for taking things too far when they have a bear beat Tari to the ground, despite not caring at all when they had a Cheep Chomp eat the boys, had Bowser catch a spiked ball, caused Axol to be presumably sexually assaulted by Carl Wheezer, and caused Mario's spaghetti to light him on fire. Many also believed that the girls technically brought this on themselves since they goaded the boys to "do [their] worst". Some unfavorably compared the video to Mario VS Sonic: PRANK BATTLE, stating that that video is a better video focusing on prank battles.
Most of the fans were also disappointed that the boys were the ones to apologize, given that the girls' actions were seen as just as, if not far too extreme, yet they never apologize to the boys. Many have stated they would have preferred an ending where both sides were punished for their actions, as opposed to one side winning in the end. Some even went as far as to label SMG4 a feminist, though others argue that this is not the case due to the unlikelihood that SMG4 would include political subjects in his videos, unless it's to satirize it. As it came out in 2019, PC culture was in overdrive, with people wondering if Luke was addressing it intentionally (and whether it was pandering to neo-feminists or calling out hypocrisy of the movement) or it's just his take on a standard "boys vs girls" comedy commonly seen in kids shows, and he may have put out at the wrong time.
Additionally, some viewed Axol as acting out of character in this episode, having him act as mischievous as Mario and Bowser rather than the generous, sympathetic character he usually is.
The episode currently has a rating of 3.3/10 on IMDb, the lowest rating out of any episode of the series.
Some fans often cite this video as justification for disliking the girls as overall characters in the series. For example, they point out the perceived unlikable traits displayed by them in this video, as opposed to the acceptable traits perceived by their fans. However, others may dismiss some of these criticisms of these characters as misogynistic.
