War of the Fat Italians is a long-running annual series on SMG4 where we get you fans to post a bunch of challenges for Mario and SMG4. They then duke it out to see who can do them better.
The video starts in the donkey kong boxing ring, with SMG4 and Mario's introductions, along with Nintendofan997 on a cloud, SMG4 and Mario start fighting before the match starts with Mario "Hadouken-ed " by SMG4. War of the Fat Italians logo appears with Mario and SMG4 to the corners ready for the Challenges. after the twelfth challenge, the rap battle starts.
The first challenge is who can survive "hot" raps from Bob. The very instant Bob starts rapping, both contestants' heads explode simultaneously. Much to his dismay.
The second challenge is who can eat the most tacos from Waluigi's Taco Stand. SMG4 starts to eat the tacos and in the end, he eats 182 tacos. Mario scoffs at his performance and opens his mouth impossibly wide and devours the entire stand (and Waluigi) in a single gulp; eating 7,324,654 tacos in total.
The third challenge is who can keep their hat around Soldier the longest. SMG4 ran to the bathroom and Soldier show she up in the toilet. SMG4 ran out the bathroom and Toadsworth came asking WTF. Mario decided to buy some weapons and Soldier knocks the store owner (Koopa) out leaving Mario to grab the fire flower, burning him with it, and running away. SMG4 went around the road to find a telephone and Soldier disguise himself as a telephone. He notices Soldier's disguise and hits him. Mario then saw Peach yelling for help. Annoyed, Mario asks what's wrong, but it turns out to be Soldier in disguise, upon which he steals his hat.
Winner: SMG4 (Disregarding Soldier tackling him at the very end)
The fourth challenge is who can animate better. SMG4 takes a while to create a single frame of animation. Looking over at Mario who is randomly throwing computers he freaks out that Mario may win, and calls for help from "TheOdd1sOut". Mario shows a derpy "Sr. Pelo style" animation of Mario destroying SMG4. SMG4 shows "TheOdd1sOut" animation of him complaining the struggle is dealing with the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom. After the two frames play, each clearly prefers their own animation.
Winner: SMG4 (Though this is debatable since he didn't actually do his animation himself)
The fifth challenge is who can beat Luigi at doing absolutely nothing. SMG4 tries meditating, but loses by having a meme breakdown a few seconds in the challenge. Mario tries putting himself into a coma by throwing a rock at a wall, and bouncing it off to hit his head.
The sixth challenge is who can survive a science class taught by Bob and Fishy Boopkins. It starts with Bob bringing in zombies he found in the dumpsters and telling SMG4 and Mario to "start poking them with knives". He throws the zombies at them. Mario gets to work straight away, but the zombie he's working on attacks him after being angered by his belligerent attitude. SMG4 manages to distract his zombie long enough to try to crawl out of the room, but by this time Fishy Boopkins has started the "Rocket Science" section, sending a massive firecracker soaring into SMG4 and knocking him away from the door. Bob then begins hurling Bunsen burners. Mario, still being distracted by the zombie from earlier, catches fire instantly. SMG4, still being burned by the firecracker in his ass, is running in circles, but this is stopped when Bob hits him with a "SCORE". Finally, Fishy Boopkins attempts to teach them how to defuse bombs, and the clip ends.
The seventh challenge is who can make Bowser cry first, SMG4 starts by kicking Bowser into the path of a taxi cab. Next, he fire a Waluigi Launcher onto his Clown Car, then he pushes his food off the table he's sitting at. Finally, SMG4 swings Bowser by his tail, but none of this makes him cry. Mario tells Bowser that he's adopted and makes him finally cry.
The eighth challenge is who has the best pick up line. Mario begins with something classic, and SMG4 jumps to memes. Mario proceeds to offer rides on his "PINGAS EXPRESS", and SMG4 makes the subway-footlong joke. Mario tells a Goomba that she's adopted, SMG4 calls a lady in a car a parking ticket, and finally, Mario compares a Teletubby to a doorknob, before losing the metaphor and yelling "GIMME DAT BUTT".
The Ninth challenge is who can beat Meggy in a 1v1.
Meggy states that the rule is: "If either of you can land a shot on me, you win!". Both proceed to run. Mario hides behind a corner and attempts to corner jump her. He almost loses in the process. SMG4 runs once he realizes Meggy has seen him, and ends up in a train tunnel, with Meggy on the other side. She fires, and she misses, and SMG4 then attempts to jump the gap, getting hit by a train in the process.
On the way back, Mario attempts to ambush Meggy, missing every shot. Finally, Mario fakes surrender, to get Meggy to drop her guard, whereupon finally shooting her in the back... except that she saw it coming, and fought back accordingly with a "Nice try."
The Tenth challenge is who can make Bob popular. Mario makes an advertisement for people to call Bob by making a sign saying Bob sounds like Morgan Freeman.
SMG4 markets bob as a cleaning rag. An advertisement continuously shows people cleaning objects like cars, floor, and much more. It ends with Bob screaming for someone to call 911.
The Twelfth challenge is who can steal Fishy Boopkins's body pillow waifu without dying, Mario starts by stealing the pillow while Fishy Boopkins is distracted and replacing it with a cardboard stand up with Heavy Weapons Guy's Head Fishy notices, while Mario is running with the pillow he turns around to see Fishy with a tank which he is blasted away. SMG4 dresses as a Pillow with his face on it, he claims that he is the body pillow's father and that she needs to go home. Well, Fishy thinks it's a limited edition pillow and starts to chase SMG4 the "Waifu's father" along the beach.
This is a debatable round, as SMG4 hasn't died, but Mario actually stole the pillow, unlike SMG4. As the challenge says "Who could steal Fishy Boopkin's waifu body pillows first WITHOUT DYING.", staying alive would be a sub-category for after the pillow was stolen. Mario completed the first part, stealing the pillow, but failed to stay alive, thus completing the main category and failing the subcategory, which is still a fail. SMG4 didn't die (presumably), but he failed to steal the pillow. If A represents stealing the pillow, B representing staying alive, and C representing completing the challenge, then the scores would look like this:
Mario:
A: Success
B: Fail
C: Fail
SMG4:
A: Fail
B: Success
C: Fail
Because Mario successfully completed the first part of the challenge, this win would debatably go to him. However, there is one last statement. The challenge says "Who could steal Fishy Boopkin's waifu body pillows first WITHOUT DYING.", with a big note on the word first. Mario did steal the pillow first but died. While SMG4 survived, he didn't steal the pillow. As the whole comment is a single challenge, the without dying rule only applies if the pillow is stolen. Therefore, Mario completed more criteria than SMG4, But with Boopkins sending Mario flying with a tank, this probably leads to a win for SMG4.
Like the previous two War of the Fat Italians specials, there's a rap battle at the end. Mario and SMG4 are seen in a spotlight. The audience is watching everywhere and the rap begins. The lyrics are shown below:
Rap Battle
SMG4:
S to the M to the G to the 4
That's a name I'm sure you heard of before.
Filled to the brim with rhythm and flow
A sexy ass man from head to toe
Now I don't want to mention but just pay attention
Cause I'm about to kick your ass to the next dimension
If you think you're gonna win then you're deranged!
Because ever since the beginning, nothing's changed!
An overweight plumber won't ever stick
You need a man like me who's EXTRA THICC!
Try and take a swing but you'll never be the king
You're gonna be knocked out with a RING RING RING!
Mario:
OH BOY, YOU'RE BACK, am I living a dream?
I get to re-destroy this stupid ass meme
What you gonna do, you stupid dingus?
Sit at your computer and yell out pingas?
You're weak and pathetic and never athletic
Dr. Mario thinks that you're a diabetic
As you sit at your computer all day long
Doing crap all except expanding that dong!
Now go home and cry to all your little fans!
While me, Mario, I got much better plans!
You're such a big fool and this may sound cruel,
But sorry Glitchy, I've already won this duel!
SMG4:
HAHA, that's funny but we've only begun!
I've brought some help to show you how it's done!
Luigi:
Mario, my paesano, it's time to stop,
If you keep this up, my ears are gonna pop!
You do nothing with your life, except saving Peach,
How about you try some exercise or maybe even bleach!
Sorry bro, but every diss here is true,
Looks like for once, you're player two.
Mario:
Oh no, it's Luigi, I'm so afraid!
I can't stand losers who's never gotten laid.
You rap like a mom, it's really freaking dumb.
Just go back home and keep sucking on your thumb.
Now I've got a rapper who you don't want to cross!
C'mon, Fishy Boopkins, show 'em who's boss!
Fishy Boopkins:
Hey SMG4, you're stinky and fat!
And um... crap! I also hate your hat?
Ah I'm sorry! That was really mean!
Ah man... It's not easy being green!
SMG4:
I'm sorry Fishy Boopkins, but that rap was invalid.
Cause I'm not going to listen to some stupid salad!
Is this your best, Mario? Cause it's sounding weak!
You're gonna end up adding to my winning streak!
Here comes my next rapper, things are looking dire.
Give it to him E. Gadd, and spit hot fire!
E. Gadd:
What's up, b*tches, this is my rapping debut!
Looks like this rap, could use some higher IQ!
Mario, there seems to be a lot of tension,
Don't fret boy! Have this new invention!
Use this mic, it'll help you refute!
But that's only because it'll be on mute!
Mario:
Shut up, you stupid wannabe Edison!
Go home and take your old people medicine!
Now I'm gonna need someone as cool as spaghetti!
I need the one, the only, the badass Meggy!
(Meggy sings)
Meggy:
It's such a shame!
You boys are lame!
Just raise your game, raise your game baby!
Never, give up, yeah!!!
Bob:
WoO WaT Up BiTcHeS It'S BoB TiMe!
GiViNg OuT hOt BeAtS lIkE BuStArHyMe!
BiTcHeS, gEt ReAdY, hErE cOmEs ThE hOok!
ChEcK oUt My InStAgRaM, sNaPcHaT, aNd FaCeBoOk!
As soon as Bob finished singing, everyone who rapped stared at Bob because his rap was horrible. Bob then says "What?" The winner of the rap battle is debatable based on your perspective. The video then ends.
One of the challenges in this video was commented by Gamecubedude, a popular SMG4 reactor.
This is the one of the few (if not the only) SMG4 videos to have guest voice actors, animators, and famous YouTube guest stars all in one video.
Unlike other WoTFI videos, there were two trailers promoting the upcoming video. One was uploaded on the SMG4 channel, while the other was uploaded on the TheAwesomeMario channel.
This is the first time SMG4 used Source Filmmaker, but he only uses it in WoTFI trailer videos.
