After the shocking plot twist in Sibling Rivalry, Mario sets off on a quest to find Luigi's killer. This season adds a lot of new features to the genre. What with the introduction of new characters, and Mario's cell phone. In which the cell phone plays a big part in the season. Notably, Luigi's killer leads Mario step by step using the cell phone,leading Mario either further or closer to him. During Mario's adventure, Mario comes across two entities, whom in this 2nd season are nameless. So they are referred to as Guy in the Light and Guy in the Shadows, GITL and GITS, for short.
Were they friends or foes? The one who appears first is GITS, who seems to be a friend when he leads Mario to one of his lost partners, Mouse. As he searches he comes across GITL, whom Mario battles for the safe return of Mouse. Later
Later Mario gets one last call from Luigi's killer, to locate him for the final battle. However, yet another shocking twist is about to unfold.
Luigi's killer is actually Luigi himself! Luigi was planning this all along. This shocking turn of events executes Sibling Rivalry once again.

The Spirit whom Mario encounters in Episode 21 tells Mario where the first Orb is. However, Itzal and Caolan overhear them talking about it and head off to the Orb's location. Once Mario arrives Itzal confronts him and refuses to give Mario the Spirit Orb. And so Itzal challenges Mario to a battle. Mario wins, but barely. He takes the Spirit Orb, but Caolan stops him and states that he wouldn't have fought Mario.

Soon then, Mario has a premonition, the good Luigi has contacted him, giving Mario hope. In the midst of Mario's premonition, the evil Luigi strikes him threatening to finish him off, but then Itzal and Caolan drop in. Itzal states that he is regretful of trying to stop Mario in his quest to defeat the evil Luigi. Luigi challenges Itzal and Caolan to a battle. Itzal and Caolan are defeated and the evil Luigi makes a break for it, with Mario tailing him. Mario chases Luigi to the top of the castle where they have their final battle. Mario is defeated, but Itzal jumps in and warns Mario of the oncoming Smash Ball. Mario grabs the Smash Ball and unleashes his Final Smash upon the evil Luigi incapacitating him, giving Mario time to use the Spirit Orb on Luigi. But another shocking twist unfolds. The Spirit Orb does not take affect. Mario and co. are bewildered by this. Mario is then contacted by the good Luigi and is overcome by a series of flashbacks revealing why Mario can't defeat the evil Luigi. Because he created him. Mario then realizes that as long as he's alive so is the evil Luigi. So then Mario makes the quick and rashful decision to commit suicide and jumps off the castle. Itzal and Caolan could not catch him in time. They mourn over the loss of Mario, but then come to realize that the evil Luigi is gone as well.

Mario Shorts[]
MATTHEWGU4 has made a series of short films, but never were considered official series. Just things done out of boredom. One year ago, July 13, 2007, MATTHEWGU4 made a short video called "Mario and Peach.....and Luigi?!?!" the concept of the video was Luigi walking in on Peach and Mario during intercourse.

January 3, 2008, MATTHEWGU4 made another short video out of boredom. Named "Mario Is Having A Seizure!!!". It became an instant hit. It has been featured and gained over 1,000 ratings.

War On Firerikku[]
Original War On Firerikku by Hypercorruption. War on Firerikku is a film written by Hypercorrution, from which he spawned from Firerikku546 and the flame war he started on YouTube. Many people had may very good "knock-offs" if you will. Like, War On Firerikku 6-1 & 6-2 by MaxOfS2D, A War On Firerikku Halloween by Chancer4ever, and War On Firerikku by Ultimagamer123. MATTHEWGU4 has then made his own War On Firerikku, in which spins off Sibling Rivalry.
Firerikku wants revenge on Matthew. He believes Matthew is responsible for the death of the Good Luigi. The War On Firerikku special spins-off of Sibling Rivalry. Matthew and co. are at peace with the events of Sibling Rivalry over. Or so they think. Firerikku, a disturbed adolescent summons the spirit of the Evil Luigi, unknowing of it's evil nature, to take down Matthew. All is well until Matthew and co. here on the news that Firerikku is wreaking havoc upon the Mushroom Kingdom looking for Matthew. Matthew explains the events that took place with him during Mario's journey in Sibling Rivalry. Matthew had encountered Firerikku before. For the same reason Firerikku is looking for him now. The gang moves on. Later, the gang 's getting prepared for the premiere of the UltimaFalco's new machinima, in which Firerikku plans to crash the party. Little do they know, people upstairs are making preparations themselves. Antimis, Mario, and Luigi are discussing the events that are taking place in the Mushroom Kingdom, regarding Firerikku summoning the Evil Luigi. They come to an agreement that Mario should be sent to the Mushroom Kingdom to take down the possessed Firerikku. Now at the premiere, UltimaFalco makes a lovely-meaningful speech regarding his friends and their support. As they start the film, the tape glitches and transitions onto a message from Firerikku. Matthew and Firerikku exchange converses. Firerikku threatens to kill a close friend of Matthew's and eventually takes his words into action. As he runs towards UltimaFalco, Matthew tries to stop him, but it's too late. UltimaFalco has been killed. It starts to rain, and Matthew and friends stand there in awe and despair as Firerikku laughs manically. Matthew and co. continue to stand. They here a noise. They wait and listen. The area is lit up by a flash, and Antimis the spirit descends from the heavens. Antimis and the others exchange greetings. First Antimis ask if the gang all remember Mario. They say they do. Then Antimis summons Mario's spirit. Matthew and friends question these occurrences. Antimis explains that 6 months after the Good Luigi's death, Mario kept seeing apparitions of Luigi. But this wasn't the good Luigi. It was Luigi's evil half; Evil Luigi, whom was created by Mario. Mario was in fear of the way the Good Luigi died; a killer. As explained in Ep. 16 of Sibling Rivalry. His belief was so strong, he actually created an evil half of Luigi. Meanwhile during Mario's quest. Antimis calls out to Luigi, putting him to a test to earn his spot in Heaven. So Luigi must call upon Mario to give him hope to defeat the Evil Luigi. And when Mario finally sums up the courage to confront the Evil Luigi...he is defeated. So Luigi is sent to Earth for a short time to console Mario and lead him to his next clue. Mario later then awakens and realizes he must meet Antimis. Mario confronts Antimis. Antimis tells Mario of a Spirit Orb that can help defeat Evil Luigi. But Mario soon finds out that the Spirit Orb will not work, and that his creation cannot die...unless he did. And so Mario commits suicide; and now the Evil Luigi is gone; until now: The events of War On Firerikku. Antimis finishes explaining, and then ask who will hold Mario's spirit, and use it to take down Firerikku. Matthew steps us, and they begin the possession process. Matthew now holds Mario's spirit and calls out to Firerikku. Firerikku snickers and challenges Matthew to a Hell Battle, in which loser is sent to hell, and winner can bring back a lost soul. Matthew accepts, and Firerikku and Matthew begin battle. In the end, Matthew triumphs over Firerikku. Antimis congratulates him, and as reward, revives UltimaFalco. Now Antimis and Matthew and co. exchange good byes. Ending War On Firerikku.

MATTHEWGU4 has a passion for music, which is why he has his own music channel on YouTube called mgarzacovers, where he posts mostly vocal covers of songs he likes. He has a dream of becoming a music performer and skilled vocalist.
Machinima[]
MATTHEWGU4 was recently offered a partnership with Machinima.com. Machinima is an 8.5 million dollar company. MATTHEWGU4 recently signed a contract to them; signing rights of his videos to them. That means, every film he makes is uploaded onto Machinima's YouTube channel, and in the process, he gets paid. This is a major breakthrough in Mario 64 Machinima history. Both MATTHEWGU4 and Megaman765 have made a fantastic breakthrough, and are proud.
Though there is some tension between them both and the other Mario 64 Machinimist who weren't offered the contract, however, you can be sure, they've opened new possibilities for Mario 64 Machinimas. Now that Mario 64 Machinima has been noticed, they can ease up a little. Ever since the first Machinima sprawl with ShadowMario64, MATTHEWGU4 has tried hard to get Mario 64 Machinima noticed. MATTHEWGU4 spent many days on Machinima's forums trying, and he succeeded.
Unlisted Videos[]
Many of MatthewGU4's videos from 2006-2008 have been unlisted. Nearly 150 of these videos have been found and archived.
MATTHEWGU4 Sells Out[]
Near the ending of 2010, Track One Records contacted MATTHEWGU4 to make a proposal. Track One Records is a music making corporation partnered with YouTube who keeps their music available for Audioswap. They messaged MATTHEWGU4 asking him to audioswap his Top 20 Most Viewed videos with their music. In return, they paid him $120.00USD. MATTHEWGU4 was reluctant at first because of the views his Top 20 already had, and that they were still active and still watched daily. He did not want to ruin the originality of his videos and disappoint his audience. However, he desperately needed the money. So forth, he accepted the offer and audioswapped his videos. This resulted in the sacrifice of many popular videos such as Mario and Peach...and Luigi!?!?, Mario is having a seizure!!!, and Mario is having a seizure...and spontaneously combusts!!! and many others. MATTHEWGU4 regrets his decision, but it had to be done.
MATTHEWGU4 will soon upload the original videos for download in the near future.
