Tari (SMG4)

Tari is a major character in Season 8, the tritagonist of The Waluigi Arc, a major character in The Rapper Bob Arc, Season 9 and The Anime Arc, one of the two tritagonists (alongside Meggy Spletzer) of Season 10, a supporting character in The YouTube Arc and a major character in Season 11, The SMG4 Movie: 10 Year Anniversary Special and the Genesis Arc. Tari is a cyborg girl and pro-gamer who befriended Mario when he needed to learn how to improve his gaming skills against SMG4, and as such became friends with them both and the rest of SMG4's Gang, namely Meggy Spletzer and Saiko Bichitaru. She was introduced during the Waluigi Arc, and since then has become a major character in the series. She is the only member of SMG4's Gang to not live in the Mushroom Kingdom, but instead in Onett, Eagleland (though Kevin Lerdwichagul have stated that maybe her place of origin is Silica City, just like her Meta Runner counterpart but Kevin wasn't sure if Silica City exists in the SMG4 universe). During the YouTube Arc, Tari was sent to the Internet Graveyard in SMG4: Deleted due to Belle Fontiere (on behalf of SMG3) altering the events of her debut in SMG4: Mario The Ultimate Gamer, having Mario prevented from meeting Tari. However, she and the rest of her friends were rescued by Mario in SMG4: A Totally Normal S̷͍͖͉̙͚͎̑̃̿͑̆̇̚͠M̸͇͇̦̮̌̿Ğ̴̫̗̖͎͔̳4̶̞͇̰̎̀́̚ Episode. Like many other members of the gang in Season 11, she winds up being demoted to a minor character to the presence of new characters such as SMG1 and SMG2, and returning characters such as SMG3 and Axol, most likely to keep her and Belle Fontiere from becoming stale characters following Meta Runner's Season 2 release and Meta Runner Season 3, which premiered on July 22nd 2022. This minor role is set to continue with her absence in the first three episodes of Season 12.
