Skawo (born: ),The NSMB Hacking Domain >> Profile for Skawo is a YouTuber known for his walkthroughs of various Nintendo games, including the and franchises.

He occasionally publishes videos related to the development of his hacks. Newer Super Mario Bros. Development playlist on YouTube, Updated September 22, 2020, Retrieved October 11, 2020.
== Personality==
From the YouTuber's text commentary/reactions, Skawo is similar to that of CinemaSins in which he often questions the game characters' decisions, logic and at times the general environment. He would frequently get annoyed by Mario's side characters such as Olivia (Origami King) Toadsworth (Mario and Luigi RPGs) and especially Starlow (Mario and Luigi RPGs). He detests tutorials, especially unavoidable ones, except at times where he really needs them.
==Patterns==
Skawo makes use of text commentary to express his thoughts about a particular game, rather than revealing his actual voice. 
A common in-joke of his videos is the ORLY owl meme in which he creates an ORLY counter which shows the meme owl and makes a count whenever a character(s) says something obvious. According to Skawo, Starlow may 'inflate the ORLY counter to infinity' (Dream Team Bros walkthrough). On rare occasions, a character may avoid a tutorial entirely to which that might make Skawo take away a number in the counter.
During Skawo's outros, a musical cover of a soundtrack based on the game he is playing is played in the background. During the last ~4 seconds of the video, a slapstick joke may occur. For example, Skawo (presented as Link from series) may get run over by Luigi's Standard Kart, hit by a hammer, and others. Other jokes are Skawo facing similar conditions to the game/characters, such as getting chubby (during a portion of Bowser's Inside Story DX gameplay), Skawo singing some obnoxious song (Paper Mario Origami King) and so on. In the Paper Mario: The Origami King playthrough, he started making the ORLY owl funnier such as turning it into the Water Vellumental.
==Extra Channels ==
Skawo has two extra channels:
*ParallelSkawo, a bonuses channel where he uploads short clips normally related to his current playthrough on the main channel.
*LawyerSkawo, a channel for games featuring lawyer-related content (hence the name).
==Criticism==
Skawo is known to have a large number of controversial gaming opinions. The most well-known example is related to the  series of video games, in which he thinks Super Paper Mario is worse than Paper Mario: Sticker Star (a game widely acknowledged by fans as being the worst Paper Mario game Paper Mario: Sticker Star - Crappy Games Wiki, Retrieved October 13, 2020.) and Paper Mario: Color Splash (a game that was similarly poorly received Paper Mario: Color Splash - Crappy Games Wiki, Retrieved October 13, 2020.) is an excellent game.
==Trivia==
*Although he only has 3 official channels, there are several fake Skawo channels including PerpendicularSkawo and Off-CenteredSkawo.
*Despite previously having his channel location set to England, as well as using a lot of British slang and using pounds when talking about real-life prices, Skawo has stated that he is not English and does not reveal his real-life country of residence online, instead telling fans that he is "Hyrulean".
