Synopsis
We take a dive down the SMG4 rabbithole of different timelines...
Plot
Prologue
Mario and SMG4 are seen leaving Brazil, and they spotted upon a factory named the "Fan Fic Idea Plant", where a Redditor dumped toxic waste (what ifs). Mario, curious about the Idea Plant, and wanting to check it out, idiotically decides to touch the toxic waste against SMG4's wishes. Mario's touching of the toxic waste led to an entire plethora of ideas emerging.
Questions
What if Mario never became stupid when SMG4 showed up?
The USB did not reduce the IQ of Mario, and when SMG4 told him to do something stupid on the camera, Mario was confused. Realizing that his one selling point isn’t working, SMG4 is sent to the Internet Graveyard, followed by a screen stating he was "cancelled".

What if Nintendo came with a cease and desist?
Since SMG4 can no longer use Mario characters, it replaces with lookalikes, and characters modified in resemblance, like Marko (Mario's parody in The Simpsons or Hobo Mario) which replaces Mario, and Loui (green SpongeBob with a cap) which replaces Luigi, and SMG4 is designed in 2D (like non-canon videos), SMG4 acts as if they are Mario characters but with replacements, while Miyamoto watches them, Loui is whiny instead of being cowardly, and Marko is friendly instead of being stupid, Bowser (who is kind of giant turtle) has captured Mango (an alien princess) who replaces Peach, Tari is confused, SMG4 says is all okay as it's revealed Miyamoto is holding at gunpoint.
What if Melony ran the SMG4 channel?
Melony is showing her interpretation of the channel, a play with her plot centered around friendship, using Lil' Chonks to play the characters. Obviously, the only audience were SMG4 and Mario, who found it boring.

What if Bob was polite to women?
Bob went out with a date with Saiko, to which he said nice compliments. However, as Bob told her a very perverted (but still polite) pick-up line, Saiko burned him alive and sent him to the hospital where he complained he was polite.
- By: Liu Lucas
What if everyone had the wrong voice for their character?
Everybody else had their voice switched to the others, with funny results. Toad and Mario voices switched, along with Melony and Bob's voices, then Luigi and SMG3, and then Steve and Saiko.
- By: Rei Gamer
What if SMG4 was an anime?
Everybody, acting like anime characters, said "nani", until Toad, annoyed with their babbling, threatened to shoot them if they said "nani" again, to which Mario was shot when he ignored his warning.

What if Mario never got his Pingas out of the door?

- By: Alex07luigi
What if SMG4 was high on drugs?
SMG4 made a stand-up joke that this was just normal SMG4, and after nobody laughed, he then went backstage, claiming that he wanted to cry.
If Mario was in Persona 5 Royal?
Mario's neutral special, Gun, was not powerful enough to stop Wario and Waluigi from robbing a bank, and it backfired when they used machine guns on him.
- By: Jack Reed
What if the entire cast SMG4 cast had lightsabers and Force Power?
In a parody of Star Wars, Bob demanded Saiko to give him her KFC bucket, causing them to fight, ending in Saiko's victory.
What if Desti never died?
An alternate ending to the Anime Arc is shown when Desti was nearly killed by False Sephiroth's blade, and made it out of Anime Island alive. Alternate plots were made, including a version of Meggy's Destiny where she and Meggy both won the Splatfest together. As they celebrated on the rooftop, Meggy was impaled and killed by the False Sephiroth that attempted to kill Desti, then sparing her. Sooner or later, she faced False Sephiroth to avenge Meggy's death.

Trivia
- It was implied that the country SMG4 and Mario entered was Guyana, evident with the "Fan Fic Idea Plant" sign written in English, which makes sense as Guyana is the only English-speaking nation in South America.
- However, Brazil has a significant population of English speakers. Therefore, it is possible that they entered some other country.
- Wolfychu, Melony's voice actress, had more involvement in the episode, as she spoke in full lines.
- This episode marks a few milestones for Desti:
- Her first physical appearance in Season 11, as well as her first appearance since her character's retirement in SMG4 Movie: Meggy's Destiny, although it doesn’t count since it takes place in a alternate timeline.
- Her first appearance since SMG4 2020 COLLAB SPECIAL, though only in fan-made scenes.
- This episode marks Meggy's first appearance since SMG4 Movie: 10 Year Anniversary Special, as well as her first physical appearance since SMG4: The Pursuit of Happiness (if one excludes My New Adventure.).
- The music in the background of the Cease and Desist segment is a poorly done version Birabuto Kingdom from Super Mario Land, the Channel's outro music.
- It was famously used in a game named "Supra Mayro Kratt".
- This is the first appearance of Tari's apartment since SMG4: The Big Bad Bully.
- The entry involving Nintendo coming with a cease and desist order references what happened to the (formerly) popular plushie-Puppet YouTube series SuperMarioLogan, being forced to stop using Nintendo themed plushies characters in his videos & having to replace them with original puppet characters.
- This marks the returns of:
- Luigi since SMG4: If Mario Was In Friday Night Funkin 2, over 2 months since. SMG4: Mario and the VILLAGE doesn't count due to only appearing in the opening advertisement and was only pictured in SMG4: Mario's Internet Safety.
- Boopkins, Bob, and Saiko since SMG4: Stupid Mario Golf.
- Tari since SMG4: SMG4 Goes Insane, almost 2 months since. Like Luigi, SMG4: Mario and the VILLAGE doesn't count due to only appearing in the opening advertisement.
- Shroomy since SMG4: Mario and the VILLAGE, over a month prior.
- Melony since SMG4: Mario's Internet Safety, almost a month prior.
