Mario Joins the Circus

Mario joins the Circus is a video created by, it is infamous for being a "Mario torture porn" episode.

Why It's Atrocious

 * 1) The video is very mean spirited towards Mario, he gets kicked out just for burning the castle (despite it happening multiple times, yet he doesn't get punished) and he gets sent to a circus where he gets tortured even more.
 * 2) This video can be considered offensive towards actual Mario fans, and while it is possible for some fans to already be offended by Mario's retarded behavior, this video can get offensive to everyone due to everybody treating Mario (you know, Mr. Video Game himself) badly.
 * 3) The ending, To put it briefly, a Shy Guy saves Mario from the circus...only for the Shy Guy to throw Mario into a giant  toaster in order to kill him, in fact, many SMG4 fans claim it to be worse than the ending of Super Mario Bros.: Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen.
 * 4) During the video, Mario gets forced to participate in games that would get people severly injured or even killed in real life
 * 5) A scene where Donkey Kong attacks Mario just for throwing a banana in the wrong way.
 * 6) This episode is so hated that it is the only SMG4 video to get a reception part in the SMG4 wiki.
 * 7) It was the start of SMG4's decline in quality (but not a major decline).

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) At least Bob is still funny in the video.

Reception
Despite having more likes than dislikes, the video received extremely negative reviews from part of SMG4 fans, many people compared it to the infamous SML video "Jeffy's Bad Word" due to both episode having SML's and SMG4's incarnations of Mario being tortured for stupid reasons (SMG4 Mario doing an act that he has done before without being punished except in that episode and SML Mario punishing Jeffy), and many fans called it the WORST video made by SMG4.
