Synopsis[]

You have arrived at the town of Western Spaghetti. Come and shoot cowboys, ride horses and do literally NONE OF THAT. HELP. GOD PLEASE HELP-

Plot[]

Meggy, Tari, Mario arrive at the Wild West, to find her idol, Oneshot Wren. Suddenly, a bandit group by the name of The Miscellaneous Seven, ambushes them, with the three individuals thinking they kidnapped him. However, Meggy discovers they are actually potato farmers, but they reveal that Oneshot Wren is attacking the nearby town, Western Spaghetti, as Meggy and Tari doubts it, thinking that Wren would never do anything like that, but they head off nonetheless.

Meanwhile, the town are at a midst of a public execution, Sheriff SwagMaster6969696969 (Swag) has captured Buffalo Bob, who defiantly taunts him before attempting to escape with Boop the Kid (Boopkins) arriving to rescue. Despite attempts to stop Bob's escape, he cuts the rope with his sword hands, and flees on Boop's wagon. Swag and Chris are left frustrated by their failed execution attempt. The chaos continues as SMG3 attempts to stop Bob with dynamite, but Bob ends up deflecting it back at him, resulting in an explosion. Bob ominously mentions that he'll return with Oneshot Wren, causing panic among the characters. Mario, Meggy, and Tari arrive where Swag unexpectedly appoints Meggy as the new sheriff. Meggy tries to reassure everyone that Wren is actually a good person despite his notorious reputation as an outlaw. However, the others remain skeptical and frightened, especially since Wren is known for his past crimes. Meggy promises to coach the others on how to protect themselves from bandits and intends to confront Wren to resolve the situation peacefully.

Meggy attempts to train her friends in shooting at a shooting range, preparing them for the imminent threat of Wren. However, none of them except Mario have any experience with guns, leading to chaotic and ineffective attempts at hitting targets. Mario gets flung back by his gun's recoil, Luigi runs off in fear, Karen surprises everyone with her shooting skills but gets distracted by empathy, Bowser fails due to his strength, Saiko is unable to wield her hammer effectively, Melony falls asleep on her gun, SMG3 is obsessed with his dynamite, and Tari struggles to handle the gun. Eventually, Tari accidentally sets off SMG3's dynamite, causing chaos. Meggy realizes that her task of training them will be much more difficult than she anticipated. Despite the setbacks, she remains determined to continue their training. Meggy notices Tari's unusual behavior, as she appears exhausted and disoriented. Tari apologizes, attributing her state to tiredness. Eventually, Meggy decides to call it a night. At a hotel, Tari and Meggy are preparing for bed, as Tari expresses doubts about her usefulness in fights, feeling weak and lacking bravery. Meggy reassures her, emphasizing that strength comes in different forms and that Tari's kindness and willingness to help others make her valuable. Meggy shares her own journey of understanding different kinds of strength, illustrated through flashbacks of past experiences with Tari and their friends. Tari is touched by Meggy's words and begins to express gratitude, but she falls asleep before she can finish. Meggy, too, settles in for the night, believing that Tari will discover her strengths during their journey.

While sleeping, Meggy experiences a terrifying dream where her friends are running for their lives in the train arriving to the Wild West, where they all unconcisusly fall down, reacting to the smoke bombs. She wakes up in a panic, realizing Tari is missing and frantically searches for her, only to find everyone else acting strangely in the hotel bar. The bartender, revealed to be Desti, interacts with Meggy in a bizarre manner, referencing protecting them from One Shot Wren and hinting at a past duel. Axol also appears, reprimanding Desti for brandishing a revolver. Meggy becomes increasingly unsettled as she realizes the characters present are meant to be deceased. Tari, reading quietly, suddenly becomes agitated and urges Meggy to leave. As the world glitches and distorts around them, Meggy remembers the true fates of the characters and rushes towards an exit, with Tari's eyes glitching out before she collapses lifelessly.

Meggy wakes up in a hospital room wearing strange headgear, with Mario also present. They attempt to escape the hospital but find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of identical corridors. Eventually, they come across a room with a TV displaying a familiar symbol, leading them to remember being trapped in a simulation. They follow clues left by Tari, who communicates with them through the simulation, and eventually reach an exit. However, they discover they are still within another hospital room, realizing they are still trapped. Tari reveals that they were kidnapped while on the train and placed in pods connected to a computer, with their real bodies in stasis. Tari also reveals that One Shot Wren is responsible for their predicament, causing Meggy to become consumed with rage. As Meggy rushes out of the room with Mario following, Tari attempts to tell them something important but is cut off as the door closes. Mario and Meggy confront One Shot Wren in the pod room. Wren reveals that he didn't want to let his sense of victory go and as such, he lost everything, but someone gifted him with a digital world where he always remains on top. He offers Meggy a chance to join him, but she refuses, realizing the extent of his descent into villainy. Meggy attempts to shoot Wren, but her bullet has no effect, and she collapses, realizing she's still in the simulation. Wren taunts Meggy and Mario before revealing his intention to keep them trapped indefinitely. Despite Meggy's final attempt to resist him, she loses consciousness, leaving Mario devastated as everything fades to black.

Meggy wakes up in her hotel room, haunted by the memories of her encounter with One Shot Wren. She rushes out into town, desperately seeking answers about Wren's whereabouts. However, everyone seems oblivious or unwilling to acknowledge the danger he poses. Despite her efforts to get help from SMG4, Swag, and Mario, they don't remember the events and are preoccupied with trivial matters. She finds Wren, and despite her attempt to defend herself with a water gun, Wren outmaneuvers her and shoots her, leaving Meggy defeated once again. In a repeated sequence, Meggy continuously wakes up in her hotel room, only to find herself trapped in a nightmarish loop where she is relentlessly pursued and shot by One Shot Wren. No matter where she hides or what she does, Wren always manages to find her, and the Unknown Individual who gave Wren the simulation, has gone very too far.

Meggy, tormented by the relentless pursuit of Wren, reaches a breaking point and holds SMG4 hostage in her distress. Her friends, including Saiko, Melony, and Swag, plead with her to stop, emphasizing that this behavior is unlike her. Tari, recognizing Meggy's desperation, attempts to calm her down and urges her to put down the gun. Despite initially resisting, Meggy eventually relents and follows Tari's guidance. Tari leads Meggy to a hidden portal, revealing a secret oasis within Wren's digital realm. Despite the danger, Tari created this sanctuary to protect Meggy and devise a plan to stop Wren. As Meggy realizes the extent of Tari's efforts and sacrifices, she expresses gratitude and pride, acknowledging Tari's growth and determination. Tari reassures Meggy that they still have a chance to defeat Wren and free everyone trapped in the simulation. With renewed hope, Tari unveils her plan to Meggy.

Meanwhile, Swag and Chris are about to hang everyone but are unsure why, as Wren wants this for a show. Meggy interrupts their plan, leading to a confrontation with Wren. Meggy stands up to Wren, refusing to let him harm her friends. However, Wren dismisses her efforts, confident in his control over the simulation. Despite Meggy's determination, Wren overwhelms her in their gun duel, mocking her lack of skill. Just as Wren prepares to unleash an army of enemies on them, Meggy's friends, freed from Wren's control, come to her aid. A chaotic battle ensues, with each character using their unique abilities to fight against Wren's army. However, the odds seem stacked against them as Wren gains the upper hand, using rocket launchers against them. In a surprising turn of events, Mario reveals himself, inspiring the others with his presence. With renewed determination, Meggy and her friends rally together to defeat Wren. Swag, finally seizing the moment, stands up to Wren, distracting him as Meggy takes control. Tari, disguised as Meggy, seizes the opportunity to end Wren's reign by pulling the trigger of the gun, signaling the beginning of their victory.

Meggy and Tari manage to free everyone from the simulation just as Wren attempts to bring elements of it into reality, as the building is crumbling due to Wren's abuse of the limited power of the simulation. Despite Wren's desperate attempts to hold onto his power, Meggy and Tari lead everyone to safety as the building collapses around them. Meggy expresses a final sentiment of regret towards Wren, wishing they could have been friends instead of adversaries. Wren, in a moment of acceptance, acknowledges Meggy's sentiment before the building collapses, sealing his fate, but Meggy still has trauma from the event to this day.

A few days later, Meggy is coaching a child Inkling on the monkey bars, encouraging her to push through until the end. Tari swiftly catches the inkling when she falls, and Meggy is relieved. As they wrap up the training session, Meggy suggests they play a game, pulling out her Splattershot. Mario joins in with his own Splattershots, initiating a playful chase. Meggy and Tari laugh as they run, dodging Mario's shots, with SMG4 realizing the growth they been receiving so far. As Meggy and Tari continue to playfully engage with Mario, he accidentally damages the castle-in-progress, much to SMG4's shock and devastation, ending the movie and the second chapter on a humorous and wholesome note.

Trivia[]

  • This film is considered to be the darkest film in the entire SMG4 series due to its graphic nature and torment that easily gives Meggy trauma that would last for years, even surpassing REVELATIONS and IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT.
  • It is also the sixth darkest and most traumatic SMG4 video ever, with the first was SMG4: World War Mario, the second being SMG4: Deleted, the third being SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2021, the fourth being SMG4: [NINTENDO HAS CLAIMED THIS VIDEO] (which marks the second downfall of SMG4's Gang), the fifth being SMG4 Movie: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT.
  • The Showgrounds has reached construction Level 4.
  • This is the fifth time when one of the characters goes insane/loses their sanity. The others being SMG4 (It's Gotta Be Perfect), Mario (numerous times) & SMG3 (Mario Plays GMOD), and now both Meggy & Tari.
  • This is zeekrocz117's editing debut in the SMG4 series.
  • This movie was hinted at over five months before its release in the GLITCH video A New Era, in which Luke and Kevin said that they searched for a psychological thriller western cartoon only to find that there is no such thing and deciding to fix that.
  • This movie marks the first of a few things:
    • It is revealed that other Inklings besides Inkling Meggy in Rap Battles and Darkest Hour can, in fact, speak in human language. It is possible Oneshot Wren learned how to later on but, it's unknown how the Unnamed Child Inkling is able to talk as well. It is possible that Meggy taught her how while she was coaching her.
    • The first SMG4 movie to be released on the same year as another SMG4 movie.
    • SMG1's first speaking appearance since SMG4: All I Want For Christmas Is Mario To FREAKIN BEHAVE.
    • This is Bowser and Shroomy's first major appearances in a movie since SMG4 Movie: 10 Year Anniversary Special.
    • The last episode/special where Tari was fully voiced by Celeste Notley-Smith, as she would be replaced by Lottie Bourne in 2024 from the episode SMG4: The Day My Arm Went Psycho onwards.
  • This is the second movie to contain blood as the SMG4 Movie: REVELATIONS shows blood on Eldritch Zero after Niles has decided to meet with his fate.

    • This is also the first episode (and only so far) to reach the 50-minute mark.
  • The title of the movie is a reference to the Spaghetti Western subgenre, as well as the fact that spaghetti has a major role in the SMG4 series.
  • At the end of this movie, Luke has told that there will be more changes to the SMG4 universe later this year, although everything that Luke has said has been redacted/censored at this point to keep it top secret. Mr. Puzzles' symbol is used during that sequence.
  • After the film was released, the channel banner has been changed to the exact thumbnail of the movie; although, with the TV glitches looking different from it. The icon has also been changed back to normal.
  • The Miscellaneous Seven is a reference that all seven members are all miscellaneous/side characters.
  • One of the inklings in the flashback resembles the Alex Spider character Inkura. Alex Spider, Inkura's creator, confirmed it was indeed her.
  • With a stated 1 month captivity, this is one of SMG4's longest stories in-universe.
  • Wren knew Desti and Axol from the past, due to both characters originating from Inkopolis, they were giving to them the information being Meggy's friends off-screen before they both had died. He could've also learned about them when he visited the Mushroom Kingdom or because Mr. Puzzles told him all about them.
  • Edited stock footage from SMG4: Mario and the Waluigi Apocalypse, SMG4 Movie: Meggy's Destiny, SMG4: Mario Babies, SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2021, and SMG4 Movie: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT are used.

  • This is the second time the Showgrounds uses the Orange Sunset Skybox as seen in the movie's ending, the first being SMG4: Mario's Tunnel Of Doom, and the third being SMG3's Browser History when SMG3 sadly leaves the Showgrounds.
  • The wild west fever the characters were doing in SMG4: Ready To Ride? resulted in the character roles in the simulation (ex. SMG3 finding a dynamite on the train and that was his main weapon in the movie).
  • If you closely, The Puzzlevision logo can be seen on the poster by looking at the top of the building on the left.

References[]

  • Westworld: This film has many references from this 1973 science fiction Western film and it's directed by Michael Crichton; starring Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin and James Brolin and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as well as the subsequent TV series remake that had heavy psychological horror elements.
  • Meta Runner: The endless space that Tari created is similar to the space that Meta Runner Tari is now reside in from the Season 3 finale. Appearing visually identical. Also, a small intro portion of the song Tari's Plan will play whenever specific actions on Tari were made.
  • Cyberpunk 2077: Mario imitates Keanu Reeves's impression from a trailer video.
  • Get Out: When Tari was having a panic attack while telling Meggy to "get out" it's similar to Logan King (Andre Hayworth, portrayed by LaKeith Stanfield) becoming hysterical after witnessing a camera flash from Chris's phone and shouting at Chris Washington (portrayed by Daniel Kaluuya) to "get out" from this 2017 psychological horror film directed by Jordan Peele and distributed by Universal Pictures.
  • NOPE: The town of Western Spaghetti and the mysterious atmosphere surrounding is similar to Jupiter's Claim, a western theme park owned by child actor Ricky "Jupe" Park from the 2022 neo-Western science fiction horror film directed by Jordan Peele and Distributed by Universal Pictures. One Shot Wren also shares similarities to Jupe, both of whom run a Western-themed town, have sadistic tendencies, and later met their downfall with the force they have reckoned with (Jupe with the sentient UFO Jean Jacket and Wren with his simulation). Similar to how the theme park was terrorized by Jean Jacket, SMG4 and the gang were also terrorized by One Shot Wren's simulation.
  • Undertale: Wren plays Flowey's role for simulation play-around. Specifically speaking, Omega Flowey. Flowey occasionally loads a save to complicate the fight for Frisk, exactly like that happens to Meggy. They also imitate the deceased Desti's head.
  • Happy Death Day, Edge of Tomorrow, Groundhog Day and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: The way Meggy dies to One Shot Wren numerous times with the simulation being reset is similar to all three movies and in the anime, when where one of the main protagonists (main antagonist in JoJo) characters die, the timeline/simulation resets back to the beginning, causing it to be stuck in the time loop.
  • Overwatch: The way Melony comes to Bob to heal him is a reference to Mercy healing a little girl in an Overwatch animated short movie.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: Much like Chris Pratt's star making role as Star Lord, Mario takes on an otherwise serious main villain and gets the better of him by doing a silly distracting dance, letting his ally finish the job.
  • Family Guy: In the last scene of the movie, Mario can be seen doing Peter Griffin's death pose
  • Toy Story (movie): Tari: "Look, I'm Woody, howdy, howdy, howdy!"
  • Saw: In the scene where Meggy wakes up, she is ripping out the Reverse Bear Trap that was used in the Saw franchise, however it was on the opposite way unlike how it is normally used but it still resembled the model.
  • Wii Sports (baseball); When JubJub gets kicked by Meggy, the 'IT'S OUT OF THE PARK' line appears.
