Super Hyper Paper Deluxe Mario Bros. Galaxy World Land 4: Partners in Sunshine SuperStar Island & Saga of Time Advance 64 DS, (SHPDMBGWL4:PISSI&SOTA64DS), is, as you can probably guess, is a poorly made fangame inspired by the Waligie and Player Adventure series of games. In it you play as Mario who goes on seemingly pointless adventures across time and space. The name originates from several Super Mario and Wario games. It has inspired two sequels, with room open for a third.

Story
Much of SHPDMBGWL4's story is filled with plot holes and mystery with nothing really being explained. Mario manages to travel through time and space, revive himself and others and in some cases manages to acquire powers and tools to help him in his "quest" from nowhere.
The story starts with Mario being captured by giant space cats while relaxing in the forest. He is taken to Nebular 4, tested on and then dumped on the planet of Sega Neptune with a duck named Quackers. Somehow the two get off the planet but Mario contracts a fatal disease on the return journey. Quackers then gets the assistance of the Alphabet man and they travel to Ice Cream World for the cake of life to revive Mario. Upon arrival they are told to leave because of their stupidity and they travel to Margaret Thatcher World which is under conservative government rule.
Unknown events occur and Mario is revived, the duck is exhiled and the Alphabet man dies. Mario steals a bicycle and goes to meet his friend George Foreman, but upsets the Korean government, so he travels back in time to get advice from George Volcano. Upon recieving no advice, Mario fights off the Koreans but creates a time paradox causing him to return to the present day to find himself fighting off Nazis (See Super Mario World: Dark Horizon). Mario kills Hitler.
Mario then goes to the playground to play on the slides. He then tries to find some friends as he has none, but the slides do not allow this and try to stop him. Mario equips himself in a power suit, shoots some metroids and is crushed by a giant slide. Mario then goes to find a moose but is killed by Tails. Terry Bogard goes to avenge his death, defeating tails and finding a holocube of which he takes to Captain Pugwash for analysis. Captain Pugwash is punched in the face and explodes and the game ends.
Sequels
A sequel going by the name "Super Hyper Paper Deluxe Mario Bros. Galaxy World Land 4: Partners in Sunshine SuperStar Island & Saga of Time Advance 64 DS 2: Mario's X-Cellent Mango Adventure through Sea-Bass World and Beyond" was released on the 26th July 2007. It is a rough continuation of the original game with many returning characters and various other fangames "ripped off". The story ends on a cliffhanger making way for another sequel.
SHPDMBGWL4 2 was not as well recieved as the original, mainly because it exchanged the humour and randomness for longer platforming sections. Work began on the final game of the trilogy but was scrapped not long after, however the project was restarted and finished on the 15th August.
The third, going by the title "Super Hyper Paper Deluxe Mario Bros. Galaxy World Land 4: Partners in Sunshine SuperStar Island & Saga of Time Advance 64 DS 3: One step beyond Mario's X-Cellent Mango Adventure through Sea-Bass World and Beyond: A Ducktale of Epic Proportions aginst an Evil Space Korean Government" follows Quackers the duck's adventure to save Mario from the clutches of Space Korea. It is built differently from the first two games, and has an enormous amount of replay value due to it's hidden Stop 'n' Swop feature, and many secret levels and multiple endings.
Black Squirrel is trying to avoid making a fourth title due to fear of it being worse than the third, however the third will be getting an "expansion pack" which will make use of the Stop 'n' Swop feature of the third game as well as offering a "true" ending. He is also planning to take it one step further and make it forward compatible with possible future titles.
BanjoSonic has also started his own spin-off version of the SHPDMBGWL4 series simply subtitled "The BanjoSonic edition". It's existance inspired the Dr. Who sections of the third "official" game.
Trivia
- SHPDMBGWL4 parodies several other fangames, mainly Lets Go Thingio! by Someguy. Super Mario World: Dark Horizon is featured in the first game and Yoshi vs. Windows in the second. Also the Hitler boss battle is based loosely on the Super Mario Cowabunga! boss against Medaforcer. The first screen from Waligie DX is taken over by Space Koreans, and Donley Kong from Donley Kong 3 becomes a main character in the third game. The third game even parodies Black Squirrel's own Player Adventure series.
- The correct ending of the first game is impossible to access as it is not linked up with the main game properly, thus meaning the end is a blank screen.
- All the games have hidden levels. A lot of them can only be accessed through the password screen.
- The title originally had "Clash" in it, but for some reason this wasn't included anywhere else but the first game's title screen.
- All the games feature a hidden glory emblem (or two), although up until 3 the data was not saved.
- SHPDMBGWL4 3 has a Stop 'N' Swop feature based off the one from Banjo-Kazooie. However, unlike the one from Banjo-Kazooie, this one works and is slightly bigger. It currently does not have a game to "swop" with yet.
