Overview[]
A series of non-canon videos as Mario and Wario try to run for president of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Synopsis (Timeline of Campaign)[]
October 9: Mario announces that he is running for president of the Mushroom Kingdom on the pilot episode of YouTube News. Luigi serves as his running mate.
October 11: Angry that Mario is running for president, Wario decides to run against him in jealousy. He announces his running mate to be Venom from Spider-Man.
October 12: Mario and Wario face off in the Mushroom Kingdom and debate on YouTube News, which devolves into a massive argument between them.
October 14: Mario launches an Anti-Wario Political Ad, with Waluigi revealing "secret" information about him.
October 15: Wario launches a counter ad, with Luigi revealing "scandalous" facts about Mario.
October 18: Election Night begins in the Mushroom Kingdom. Both sides tie at the popular vote and the electoral college instead elects Ash Ketchum as president. Mario and Wario are angered by the outcome, and Chris Muller becomes confused, seeing as how Ash wasn't running for president in the first place.

Trivia[]
- These videos were a crossover with YouTube News.
- The videos were a parody of the 2008 Presidential Campaign.
- The Election Night Video was a parody of a scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian.
- The Political Ads were inspired by MADtv.
- The Anti-Wario mentions that Wario claims to be a veteran of the Lylat War, a reference to Star Fox 64, known in Europe as Lylat Wars.
- The Anti-Mario ad was taken down by YouTube, but the Anti-Wario ad is still up. There are currently no plans to re-upload the Anti-Mario ad.
- Koopa the Quick from Super Mario 64 is mentioned by Mario, who accuses Wario of accepting bribes from the former during the debate.
- The "large marble table" where the debates take place is later used as Merlin's table.
Goofs[]
- As the Mushroom Kingdom is monarchy, Princess Peach acts as head of state. As such, Mario and Wario would have actually been running for the position of head of government (i.e. Prime Minister).
