In this video, I discuss three ideas I have for what a future arc with Mr. Puzzles could be about or include.

Hey all, No Null here. As you may have been able to tell, I’m sort of a big fan of mr puzzles. So I was glad when he was brought back after the puzzlevision movie, and when we got a mini arc centred around him with the meme factory episodes, even if admittedly the endings for both the puzzlevision saga and meme factory mini arc were pretty underwhelming due to some questionable writing.

Following mr puzzles’ defeat in the meme factory mini arc, we know that he’ll be back for some revenge, likely in time for wotfi 2024, since that will probably be the next big event in the SMG4 series, and so far this has pretty much been the year of mr puzzles. This video isn’t so much a theory video more than it is a wishlist of ideas i’d like to see the smg4 team do with mr puzzles’ character in future episodes or arcs.

This first segment of the video revolves around my theory that mr puzzles will be the antagonist for wotfi 2024. I’m basically going to lay out a general overview of how i’d write a wotfi 2024 arc under the premise that mr puzzles is the antagonist and is seeking revenge in his next plot, revenge serving as his primary motivation, with his other desires, such as taking over SMG4’s show or gaining SMG4’s popularity, taking less priority this time round.

Going with the revenge theme, what if Mr Puzzles gathers a bunch of previously defeated SMG4 villains who also seek to get revenge on the SMG4 cast? The idea of an arc where multiple past villains team up has been around for a long time, so it’d be cool to see this idea finally envisioned, and if there was any villain who would serve as a good leader for such a group, mr puzzles certainly fits the bill, especially as he is a master manipulator as demonstrated in 2023. The obvious candidates for who would join Mr Puzzles firstly includes Marty, last year's wotfi antagonist, and secondly includes lawyer kong, who I don’t think anyone would care about suddenly becoming a villain again, as well as including a bunch of more minor villains classic and modern like Ztar, mr nice guy, the remnants of the box club, wheeler, depresso, X, whisk from sunset paradise, and i guess we can include that mexican master hand as well lmao. Perhaps Mr Puzzles could even recruit a reluctant SMG3, who could actually be secretly working against mr puzzles in an admittedly not so surprising twist, but having smg3, as well as marty, on mr puzzles’ side would justify the last episode of this arc being called war of the fat italians.

The premise for the plot of this wotfi 2024 arc would be pretty simple, Mr Puzzles manipulates all of these past villains to join him in a bid to finally get revenge on the SMG4 cast. Perhaps in the lead up to the wotfi arc, we can have individual episodes where each of these villains return. I’m err, not really that creative, so i dunno what would happen next, though since the ratings briefly returned in the meme factory mini arc, perhaps they could return in this wotfi arc as well, and maybe we can finally get a proper explanation of why having the highest ratings in the smg4 universe can grant someone full creative control over the entire universe.

The wotfi itself could once again be held in the format of 1v1 challenges, since we had a different format last year, and once again this would be a team wotfi, with the smg4 cast pitted against Mr Puzzles’ evil cast. And unlike in wotfi 2022 where the main antagonist didn’t participate in the challenges, this time mr puzzles as well as lawyer kong would also be competing in the challenges. And then finally, of course, we would have the rap battle at the end, mr puzzles featuring heavily in it. This idea of mine could use some further development, as it has some issues, such as the wotfi idea not differentiating itself from the past arc wotfis like 2021 and 2022, unlike how wotfi 2023 differentiated itself from the recent trend to avoid being stale. There’s also the issue of this wotfi perhaps being reminiscent of the You tube arc and SMG3’s anti-cast.

The last thing I want to mention on this wotfi point is that I think this next arc would have to develop on the bond that mr puzzles and meggy/leggy developed in the mini arc. Meggy may have a soft spot for mr puzzles now, so perhaps she could be instrumental in reasoning with him if his next plan goes way overboard in some way, or perhaps she could even play a role in redeeming him. However, I do not think that this wotfi arc should end in a mr puzzles redemption, since I’ve mentioned before that this would come across as a rehash of smg3’s character arc, and I personally think mr puzzles is better suited as a kind of replacement for classic smg3, serving as the main antagonist of the show who pops up every so often

    If he does end up having some sort of redemption arc, it better not be at the expense of the writing for the other characters like how they UTTERLY butchered SMG4 in the latest mini-arc

    I hope Peach shows in the Next episode getting Revenge against the SMG4's Gang... When Mr. Puzzles said: "i'll get all of you!!!" It is often possibly that he is Targeting to Peach, meaning that he will send everyone to the Crater in order to save Peach. And Daisy will have to appear too, since she is the only princess left, and along with everyone, she will tell her feelings to her, and both of Peach's fury will transfer to Mr. Puzzles, the one responsible for her castle's destruction.

    I think the idea of "Mr Puzzles manipulations the past villain" is a great idea, but I don't think it will work for a WOIFI. I think it works best for a anniversary special, like for the 15th anniversary. Also SMG3 joining Puzzles to me makes little sense and undermines this character development, from my prepestive.

    ok I also have a theory, but not really about this year’s WOTFI. During the end of a night at SMG4’s, we see Mr puzzles gain a star (he now has 2.) I actually had a theory about this a while back when he first reappeared. I think he’s gonna keep gaining starts until WOTFI 2025, where he finally gets fully defeated and/or begins to be redeemed. He has 3 stars left until 5, so that leaves this year’s wotfi, one big spring/ early year episode, and one big summer episode before he reaches 5 stars, which could perfectly setup something like a big final showdown. We also see him progressively getting more upset at Mario, which could lead him to use his power less for fame, like you said, and more for killing Mario. (with, or without, understanding the consequences of doing that.)
  • I hope Mr. Puzzles actually gets a redemption arc so that way we can get more scenes with him being who he really is & not just a villain. I would also like to see some cute scenes with him & Meggy

    I like the idea of Mr puzzles bringing back every villain. Though there are some that are missing like peach, Lui, one shot wren, and Enzo. Ztar could definitely redeem himself since bowser and smg3 are good with smg4, the box club members are just normal individuals, and lawyer Kong became goofy and could never turn back. It’s just like bringing back zero and Niles when it’s impossible because they’re dead for good. Perhaps Mr puzzles admits to sending out all of these previous villains, dead, redeemed, or given up after Smg4. Or even an WOTFI 2024 where the main villains are uttps or corrupt/brainrot memes like skibidi toilet, Roblox chicken nugget, etc are the villains and they’re anti memes meaning they used to be memes but were very deadly and disgraceful that they were banished. This could also apply to uttps. And this could be a perfect opportunity for Mr puzzles to be a super meme guardian like I’ve been wanting since the meme factory arc and he could use it for good and bad and to even counter the tv man from skibidi toilet to stop them. Lastly, I wanna talk about the final WOTFI possibility involving Saiko and Kaizo’s game. The game seems corrupt and seems to be based of off doki doki literature club. Perhaps Mr puzzles or his counterpart had this game as a first experiment before or after making tv shows? Maybe video games is what puzzle vision made? Not to mention it’s corrupt and involves a tv.
  • Honestly, I would prefer it to be a WOTFI 2024 and for Mr. Puzzles to have his redemption and I don't care if that can happen again, like it happened with Smg3, I really like him and he's a cool character full of charisma. But I can think of two possible endings, either he joins Smg4's group and creates a cinema with a studio, close to Smg4's Castle or in the final battle something bad can happen and he sacrifices himself in the end to save everyone, the that I didn't want that to happen, because like I said, I like him, but that could give more adoration to this character.
  • In This WOTFI 2024 You Can't Decide Any Mission Unlike Last Year... Instead The SMG4 Community Might Post Comments/Suggestions. Also The Big Event Is "Mr Puzzles Second Revenge" Arc. Synopsis: He Would Kidnap Mario. Steal The Source Of SMG4's Power. So The SMG4 Crew Might Find Mario And Save The Source Of SMG4's Power. Before Its Too Late!

    I’m not sure Funky Kong (Lawyer Kong after WOTFI 2022) wouldn’t work, since he literally really only sells guns, said in WOTFI 2022. Unless he still REALLY hated them, I don’t think Funky Kong would work. I’d say the Main Villains would be: MR.PUZZLES and MEGGY/LEGGY I’m not sure most villains I’ve seen in here would work, since the Box Club was basically all gone when Revelations happened, Lawyer Kong became Funky Kong, Wren died, if I have the lore correctly, Star is light-years away from Earth, SMG3 wouldn’t even SIDE with Mr.Puzzles, Nice Guy is basically dead after Smg4’s Meme Lobe was removed.
