Mario Recolors (also known as Multi-colored Mario's, Recolored Mario's, and Color Codes), as their name suggests, are a species of human characters who resemble Mario and often represent YouTubers who create Super Mario 64 Machinima although some Mario Recolors are original characters rather than avatars of YouTubers. They predominantly appeared as characters in the first few seasons of the series. Their exact in-universe origin is currently unknown, but it is implied to be connected to Mario himself. Some recolors are actually merged or leaked color codes for the purpose of being background characters, but even among the most obscure recolored Marios, some were not used in the series at all.
Outside the series, they were made back in 2006 by YouTubers such as Megaman765 and Fleskhjerta who had their own recolors and it soon popularized them during their time. SMG4 was one of many who had their own Recolor codes back then. Many Recolors were based off YouTubers who also did Mario 64 Machinima. Most of them are retired now and have abandoned channels, with SMG4 being one of the few to actually take off.
NOTE: Following the redesigns of SMG3 and SMG4 in WOTFI 2022 to make the series' IP much less dependant on Super Mario 64, the status of the Mario Recolors such as X, FM and others is unknown as they haven't appeared in the series since then. Given the direction SMG4 went in following the destruction of Peach's Castle, it's likely they have been completely erased from the series' canon altogether.
