The SMG4/GLITCH Wiki

This is an idea that has been floating around my head for a while.  As you can probably guess, I am a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, and I was wondering how SMG4 would do a parody of the series.  I feel that doing an "If Mario Was In..." video wouldn't be doing the series justice, as there is a lot to cover.

I'll start off by listing all the main characters of Metal Gear Solid 1, and which SMG4 characters would replace them, with a brief explanation for why.

SPOILERS BELOW

  • Solid Snake = Mario (Protagonists of their series)
  • Colonel Roy Campbell = SMG4 (Guys who keeps the protagonist on their mission)
  • Doctor Naomi Hunter = Peach (Females with their own agenda who "enhances" the protagonist)
  • Mei Ling = Tari (Cute tech experts that are surprisingly philosophical)
  • "Master Miller" = "Shroomy" (Characters that help the protagonist survive in the wilderness)
  • Meryl = Meggy (Deuteragonists who start with the letter M that are pseudo-partners with the protagonist)
  • Hal "Otacon" Emmerich = Fishy Boopkins (Anime nerds who want to redeem themselves and fight alongside the protagonist)
  • The DARPA Chief = Jeeves (Characters who exist to give exposition and then die)
  • Kenneth Baker = Baldi (Characters who exist to give exoposition and then die)
  • Grey Fox = Nintendofan997 (Forgotten characters that are still aware of Snake/Mario and want to have a final match with him)
  • Liquid Snake = SMG3 (Main villains of their series)
  • Revolver Ocelot = Desti (Gunslingers who don't fit in with the rest of the villain crew that have Meryl/Meggy as their main target)
  • Vulcan Raven = Bowser (Tough guys who connect with the protagonist beyond "I want to kill you")
  • Psycho Mantis = Bob (Men of mystery that can basically do whatever they want)
  • Sniper Wolf = Saiko (Villains with sex appeal that Otacon/Fishy Boopkins seem to have a thing for)

You might have noticed that Nastasha Romanenko and Decoy Octopus aren't there.  The reason for this is that I couldn't find anyone that could replace them, and their roles in the story were minor enough to be written out.  You might have also noticed that there were no roles assigned for Luigi, Wario or Waluigi.  This is because they would be better off as characters for the next game: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.  The characters they would replace would be Raiden, Fatman and Vamp respectively.

Mario replacing Solid Snake is where most of the comedy would come from.  Snake is a hardened, down-to-earth soldier.  Mario is... not.  I can imagine him doing stupid things that still somehow work in infiltration, which is how most of the gags would work.  Regarding other characters, Master Miller and Shroomy are in quotations for a damn good reason, but saying why would go into mega-spoiler territory.  Putting Desti as Revolver Ocelot would give her more time to shine.  Especially after her right arm gets cut off by Nintendofan997, which is a plot point for the next game.

As for plot details, it should be kept lighthearted, but still serious like the Waluigi Arc was.  SMG3 has gotten tired of SMG4's success, so he rounds up a group of villains (as well as Bob, who just showed up for no reason) and enhances them for combat and espionage.  SMG3 knows that the source of SMG4's popularity is all in the bag of memes that was shown off in a previous episode.  They way he plans on getting them is by kidnapping Fishy Boopkins and forcing him to build a Mecha in the vein of the Mecha Anime that he watches.  He sends Saiko to act as bait, which works like a charm.  The Mecha is built fairly quickly, and is ready for action.  SMG3 is pleased by this, and he sends a ransom note to Peach's castle notifying SMG4 that the Mecha exists and that if he didn't send him the bag of Memes then he would unleash it onto the Mushroom Kingdom, reigning havok and framing SMG4 for the act, as they look so similar.

The note is intercepted by Meggy though, and she bolts off to stop them.  As a consequence of this, SMG4 doesn't see the note until a couple days later, ONE DAY before the deadline.  Meggy hasn't returned, and SMG4 doesn't want to lose his bag of memes.  He decides to use Mario to do the job because there aren't really any other options.  He is about to force Mario down a warp pipe when Peach and Tari appear.  Peach says that she can help and injects... something into Mario that allows the four of them to communicate via telepathy.  Tari is there because she traced the whereabouts of Meggy and it reveals that she is in the Mushroom Kingdom's equivilent of Alaska.  With the exposition out of the way, the other three force Mario down the warp pipe and the Arc truly starts.

[WILL ADD MORE LATER.  IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK]
