Plot
“ |
We're all going to die! |
” | —Mario |
At Peach's Castle where Mario has a dinner date with spaghetti which annoyed Toad as usual while Luigi was playing with his doll. SMG4 was looking out through a window, and Luigi then asked what was he looking at and SMG4 replied that he noticed that Shroomy had been stuck in a T-Pose for a long time now. Luigi wondered if T-Pose was a new kind of yoga but SMG4 thought that T-pose was very strange and went over to check on him.
Luigi then called for Toad and Mario, who although was angry that he was being interrupted from his dinner date, agreed to come over. Luigi showed what SMG4 was doing and Mario happily reported that he becomes a bird with Shroomy. Upon hearing that, Luigi realized with horror that SMG4 had also become a T-Pose Zombie after SMG4 were infected by T-Pose Virus.
Suddenly, both Shroomy and SMG4 turned around and started approaching the castle, freaking Luigi out and worrying Mario. As Luigi barricaded the doors, Mario reassured it was nothing when suddenly, one of the T-Pose Zombies made a hole in the door, freaking Mario too. Thinking quick, he threw Toad as a hand grenade (with him dubbing it "Super Toadie Grenade") through the hole and reassured that Toad would solve the issue, just for him to become T-Posed too. Screaming in horror as the T-Pose Zombies, which now included Po, Shrek, and a tall Red Shell Koopa, headed their way, both Mario and Luigi headed upstairs.
In the upstairs room, Meggy, Bob, and Boopkins were playing Yu-Gi-Oh! with Meggy thinking they were either playing Go Fish or Pokémon Trading Card Game and Bob thinking they were playing Poker. Just as Boopkins reiterated that they were playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, Mario and Luigi broke into the room panicking. Meggy thought they could play for her but instead, they ran all the way to the next room upstairs. Soon after, the T-Pose Zombies showed up through the door, with both Meggy and Bob confused as to what was going on.
Boopkins was oblivious to the danger of the T-Pose Zombies and asked if they were here to see his Yu-Gi-Oh! card collection but instead, they attacked him. Meggy was worried about him while Bob recorded the whole thing. Soon after, Boopkins became a T-Pose Zombie too. Meggy asked Bob to help her defeat the T-Pose Zombies but instead, Bob went to join the Mario brothers, forcing Meggy to deal with them on her own. Although she easily knocked them down, she realized with horror that they were unaffected as they proceeded to gang up on her as they prepared to make her one of them.
Upstairs, Luigi was panicking as to what they had to do with Mario saying they were all going to die. Bob suggested setting the castle on fire but Luigi disagreed because they were their friends. Mario suddenly remembered about Meggy and said she could handle them but when he peeked through the door, he realized with horror again that she became a T-Pose Zombie too, causing him to faint. Bob then asked if that was the time to set the castle on fire. Luigi and Mario quickly tried blocking the doors as more T-Pose Zombies, including one of Koopa Bros., Toadsworth, Birdo, and Ronald McDonald struggled to get through the barricaded doors.
Bob decided to ditch Mario and Luigi and headed to the castle roof, but not before praying for them after Mario complained of him ditching them. As Mario got distracted by Bob, the T-Pose Zombies burst through, including Skyrim Guard. The Mario brothers then headed up the roof, being chased by the T-Posers that now included Bowser, a Tostarenan, and King Daphnes. As they tried to budge the door leads to castle roof, they realized it was blocked by Bob.
As he commented on his genius plan on how all the women have no choice but to have children with him due to being the last man on earth, he looked from the castle roof to realize that several Toads, Whomps, Koopa Troopas, Dr. Eggman, Shy Guys, Monty Moles, the wizard, and SMG3, who were all infected by the T-Pose virus, were waiting downstairs, causing him to realize that he was trapped.
As Mario continued to struggle to open the door, Luigi quickly looked around to find a fire extinguisher. He tried to throw it at the head of one of the T-Pose Zombies, Donkey Kong, but it did nothing to halt the horde. Luigi cried thinking they were goners but Mario told him to stop crying and help him open the door. As they tried, Bob said they should not bother as he claimed they were too many T-Pose zombies on the roof.
Luigi cried that they were going to die with more T-Pose zombies including a Magikoopa, Kratos, Zangief, Link, Colonel Sanders, X, and Rubeus Hagrid were fast approaching them. Bob, however, wanted them to stop complaining so he could read in peace. Angry, Mario activated his obesity to break through the door. It worked but while Mario and Luigi celebrated, the T-Pose zombies, which included Heavy, grabbed Luigi and slowly turned him into one of them, much to the horror of Mario as he could not do anything.
Bob complained that now, the T-Pose Zombies were able to get onto the roof and asked how could the world survive if he died. Mario though, furious for Bob's negligence resulting in his brother killed, pushed Bob to the edge. Bob lied it was a prank and that he still had a lot of women to love and money to make but Mario was not buying any of that and kills Bob by kicking him down to the ground where all the T-Pose zombies were waiting, where Bob died by the fall. After dealing with Bob, Mario turned to realize with horror that the T-Pose zombies were upon him, which now included Funky Kong, Kermit the Frog, and Rayman. He tried to go back but when he saw below several more T-Pose zombies, which now included Falco Lombardi, Slenderman, cat scientist, Sans, Ryuko Matoi, a skeleton, Skull Kid, a bird-like character, a video game character, Tails, the businessman, Santa Claus, Godzilla, Master Hand, Shy Gal, and a man in a blue jacket, Mario realized he was done for and that he never got to eat the Golden Spaghetti.
Unexpectedly, Peach showed up in a helicopter armed with a machine gun, who then fired away 1-Up Mushrooms at the T-Pose zombies, saving Mario. She then fired another burst at another group, although had to repeat due to Yoda not being fully knocked down. Any T-Pose zombies who got hit returned to normal with Bowser not remembering what happened to him. Peach then told the Koopa Troopa pilot to drop the 1-Up Mushroom bombs. The outcome slowly returned all T-Pose zombies back to normal with Master Hand and SMG4 not remembering what happened to them as well, Luigi being happy from being cured, and Meggy seemingly injured after she got cured.
Once all the T-Pose zombies were back to normal, the helicopter landed on the castle roof and Mario was confused as to how she knew what to do. She replied that being the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, she had to know what caused the T-Pose outbreak and showed a T-Pose Shroom, the source of T-Pose virus. She then furiously asked who ate it, causing everyone to look at Shroomy, who recounted how he became a T-Pose zombie.
It is revealed in Rockford after the events of the previous episode, Shroomy was having his stroll in a forest when suddenly, he came across Waluigi wielding the Staff of Rejection. Waluigi then used his staff to created the T-Pose Shroom and forced Shroomy to eat the shroom. Shroomy thought of it and decided to obey Waluigi's command, causing Waluigi to laugh evilly before Shroomy became a T-Pose zombie.
Shroomy apologizes to the others for the entire T-Pose outbreak. Luigi wondered what Waluigi's motive for the T-Pose Shroom was, Bowser and Meggy suggested finding and beating up Waluigi for T-Pose outbreak, and Mario was glad that everyone was fine. Boopkins though suggested that they should look at his card collection, causing Mario to ask who wanted to do anything but Boopkins' suggestion, causing everyone else to cheer for Mario's decision. They quickly boarded the helicopter and left Boopkins behind, who then dejectedly looked down as the episode ends.

Reception
Mario And The T-Pose Virus has a total of 22.7 million views in total, making it the most popular episode in The Waluigi Arc.
Trivia
- This episode was inspired by the SMG4 tour's crowd, where a number of fans T-posed in the crowd. Working on the plot of the episode, Luke and Kevin came up with idea as 'what if it was a zombie apocalypse?'
- This is the third SMG4 episode to place a greater emphasis on horror rather than comedy, the first being SM64 Bloopers: Can the Villager come out to play? and the second being SMG4: Doki Doki Mario Club.
- This is the first appearances of:
- Funky Kong since Mario VS Donkey Kong and in Season 8.
- Kermit the Frog since If Mario was in... Baldi's Basics.
- This is the first time Waluigi is shown taking an actively villainous role.
- This is also the third episode where Meggy swears. The first being SMG4: Final Fantasy Mario, and the second being SMG4: Mario waits for pizza.
- Mario cares for Luigi in this episode, which is a rare instance as they have a competitive relationship that gets in the way of their emotions.
- The Yu-Gi-Oh card game is possibly a Yu-Gi-Oh Top Trumps as at one point Fishy Boopkins says “Trump Card” about the card game. He also mentions "Exodia The Forbidden One", a rare card puzzle that when completed, grants the player infinite power and they defeat his/her opponent by saying "Exodia, Obliterate!".
- Boopkins was trying to seal Exodia, which is impossible to do, as when players get Exodia, they randomly win the game.
- According to Luke and Kevin in The Waluigi Arc Explained, in the original ending of the episode, Shroomy just finds the T-Pose Shroom in the forest; Waluigi was never intended to show up in the first place. Ultimately, they decided to "play on it" and bring him in to start the apocalypse.
