Personality:   Mr. Puzzles is a major character and a former antagonist of the SMG4 series. He is introduced as the titular antagonist of the Puzzlevision saga, and is one of the most powerful characters in the series, such that he is comparable to that of Niles. He is a powerful human-TV cyborg being and content creator who began as an ordinary person. Driven by a desire to entertain those around him and become a star, he founded his media company and streaming platform, Puzzlevision. His self-centered nature often lauds his own achievements and prefers to work independently. Known for his intense perfectionism, he strives for impeccable results, eliminating distractions from collaborators in pursuit of fame and recognition for his creations all while chasing for something else he wanted his entire life that he never had before, a friend of his very own. As a child, Mr. Puzzles aspired to be an amusement park owner, but his father dismissed his dreams, claiming he lacked "creative vision", and never made friends while growing up. This rejection fueled his obsession with media as he watched as much television as he could, leading him to replace his head with a cybernetic TV. This transformation ignited his passion for entertainment, and becoming involved with the the SMG4 show, manipulating its crew to enhance what he viewed as a stupid production to prove his creative capabilities. Initially, he operated in secrecy, he provided questionable products and powers to desperate individuals both involved and associates of the SMG4 crew at their lowest point which would triggering chaotic events that became part of his own "shows." When he confronted the SMG4 crew, he coerced them to create content for his Puzzlevision streaming service, aiming for a perfect five-star rating and control over their show and the universe. However, his plans fell apart, leading him to pursue fame in other ways, such as invading SMG4’s Meme Factory to learn video production and even tried to take over Didney Worl to fulfill his old dream of owning an amusement park. After these efforts failed, leaving him disillusioned and mentally unstable, he shifted his focus to his true aspiration: making friends. Mr. Puzzles eventually heard about Mr. WPNZ, who had been defeated at the hands of his former partner and ex-wife. Mr. Puzzles reaches out to Mr. WPNZ, proposing friendship and assistance alongside his new accomplice, Toomp, as they plan to break him out of prison and escape execution from The Death Cube. However, over the course of his time in prison and SMG4 Movie: Guns N' Puzzles, Mr. Puzzles begins to have doubts over his actions and wonders if his revenge plans against the SMG4 Crew are worth it. He becomes torn over winning Meggy's trust and going through with his revenge plans with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp. When Meggy tearfully concludes that he'll never truly change, after she sees him ruin his last chance to change his ways, Mr. Puzzles' life crashes down on him, as he loses not only his friendship with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp, but Meggy and everyone else's trust. Now with nothing left to lose, Mr. Puzzles and Meggy both succumb to depression and the former finally realizes the weight of his actions while vowing to mend the damage he has done. However, how he intends to go about this is still unknown. He serves as the titular main antagonist of the Puzzlevision Saga, serving as the overarching antagonist of Season 13, SMG4 Movie: IT'S GOTTA BE PERFECT, and War of the Fat Italians 2023, one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Francis) of SMG4 Movie: Western Spaghetti, the main antagonist of Season 14, SMG4 Movie: PUZZLEVISION, and War of the Fat Italians 2024, one of the two villainous main protagonists (alongside his Leggy) of The Meme Factory Arc, the villainous tritagonist/main antagonist of Season 15, one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Karen's ex-boss) of the Karen Arc and SMG4 Movie: Silence of the Cats, and one of the two main protagonists (alongside Meggy Spletzer) of the breakout mini-arc. As of the SMG4 Movie: Guns N' Puzzles, Mr. Puzzles' role is up in the air. He has completely dropped his plans for revenge and intends to fix his mistakes and redeem himself; however, it is currently unclear as to how he intends to go about this. In his first appearance, Mr. Puzzles takes the form of an TV adware, heavily inspired by BonziBuddy and other internet virtual assistants—he was simply a dark gray analog television with googly eyes and a cartoon-ish grin on it. Physically, Mr. Puzzles is a tall and thin humanoid, with a gray 50s/60s television box head that is identical to his adware form, minus his face. His real face is a light gray static background with differently shaped eyes with his left eye being larger than his right eye along with a large grin taking up most of the lower half of his face. His teeth's colors, which are yellow, cyan, lime green, pink, red, and blue, are intended to resemble a TV ‘s color bars. Although his face is depicted as a screen, it is implied that his face is actually behind it as it remains intact even after the screen is shattered by Mario. The bottom edge of his head has the word "Puzzlevision" printed on it, which is an entertainment streaming service platform that he owns. He also seems to have a black cable-like neck that connects to the back of his TV head, which bares similarity to what actual cables do with TVs. He wears a black bowler hat with a gray band on his head, with two TV antennas sticking out, though one is bent. He wears a grey vest with a white undershirt and a black bow tie, as well as white elongated four fingered rubber hose gloves and black and white dress sneakers. His pants are dark grey, with silver puzzle patterns, his pants also come with suspenders with grey puzzle pieces as buttons. His pants are also a tad bit short and thin black cable-like legs are visible if one looks closer. One of his eyebrows also forms a lightning bolt. He cycles through different facial expressions that appear on his screen, using the same colored grin and grey eyes for all of them and he is capable of showing random images on his screen to show expressions as well back when his expressions were more limited. But when he is really upset or goes insane, he cycles through more eerie and creepy faces which represents his rage and frustration. These faces are more distinct than then the usual faces he displays and has different features than the ones with the circle eyes and colorful grin which are replaced with creepy looking eyes and unsettling grins. This is usually called Photoshop Mr. Puzzles or just the Insane face. (See faces below). In his childhood, during flashbacks, his appearance was identical to Ninten and Ness (once for the latter). His body was shown as a silhouette with white glowing eyes (like how humans are seen in Murder Drones). Currently, his appearance is the same as his old one, except all of his clothes are orange (except his bow tie and collar of his vest which is stained) which represents a prison jumpsuit and there is visible rust around the borders of his screen. In SMG4: Stupid Mario Kart World, he is seen wearing his normal attire again with the rust around his screen gone. Mr. Puzzles maintains a complex personality rooted in a strong ego and an expectancy for control. He often craves attention, evident from the name of his entertainment company, "Puzzlevision," and his persistent desire to be in the spotlight. He manipulates those around him for his own gain and benefit, including the SMG4 crew, making them obsess over their objectives, and turning them into adversaries for his twisted shows. Despite his friendly façade, Mr. Puzzles has unstable mental tendencies and sociopathic traits, demonstrating a troubling lack of empathy and a talent for exploiting others for his benefit. For instance, he showed enjoyment in seeing Meggy tortured and becoming emotionally scarred by Oneshot Wren and took delight in SMG4's ability to "play an antagonist so well." His unstable mentality can make him have severe breakdowns when something keeps going wrong, and his temper reflects it as seen in Mr. Puzzles' Incredible Game Show Spectacular! His dedication to entertainment is so compulsive, that he has transformed into a cyborg with a television set for a head, and once he took over Didneyland and replaced it with Puzzle Park, he fused with the engine room of his new amusement park, becoming its power source. All of this symbolizes his obsessive nature to gain fame from his creations and he is willing to sacrifice his dignity and or sanity in order to achieve his dreams. Even though he possesses ruthless ambition and a craving for control over his entertainment platform, Mr. Puzzles is still able to be affable if he wants to, as evidenced by his temporary bond with Leggy. He experiences deep emotional distress when she is taken away, revealing his underlying vulnerability and bit of humanity as he has never had friends before. Following Mr Puzzles’ imprisonment, he would most likely never be able repent on his flagitious acts, nor change his ways due to his deteriorating sanity and desire for vengeance on the SMG4 crew for destroying his plans of achieving fame and recognition. However, as of the events of SMG4: A VERY Unlikely Friendship, SMG4: The Final Step, and SMG4 Movie: Guns N' Puzzles, Mr. Puzzles's affability and ability to make friends develop again. For the first time since his friendship with Leggy, Mr. Puzzles is shown to finally achieve normalcy with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp. However, when Meggy offers to consult with him and determine whether or not he has changed, Mr. Puzzles becomes torn over choosing Meggy's offer or going through with the "kidnapping" with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp. Over the course of his prison break, Mr. Puzzles has also shown signs of self-doubt, wondering if his plans for revenge against the SMG4 Crew are really worth it, or if he should keep putting Mr. WPNZ and Toomp through the mangle to put his staged kidnapping plan into action, especially after being called "pal" by Mr. WPNZ on many occasions. This indicates that deep down, Mr. Puzzles appreciates being seen as a friend to someone else. Additionally, after a long talk with Mr. WPNZ about letting go of the past and moving on, Mr. Puzzles seems to want to let things go, but he still has trouble deciding on whether to move on or continue with the staged kidnapping. His indecisiveness and anxiety, combined with his attempts to maintain his villainous persona, ultimately cost him his friendship with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp, as well as Meggy's trust. Mr. Puzzles' life comes crashing down when Meggy finds out that he lied about changing for the better, even though he tearfully admitted to wanting to show her he could change. After failing to gain Meggy's trust, he succumbs to depression and remorse for his actions. Dejected, he realizes what he has done to the crew and vows to atone for his mistakes. recently, Mr. Puzzles has turned into a plushie. And a derpy one, at that.
