Shyrx

Rhys, known online as Shyrx or SuperRhys217, is an American Super Mario 64 Machinimist and fangame creator who started creating YouTube videos in late 2013. He is most known for creating his own Super Mario 64 Bloopers series and the Shyrx Saga, which the majority of his machinimas are a part of.
Shyrx also has a younger brother named UltraGamer8.
== Role in Super Mario 64 Machinima ==
While "Shyrx" is the name used by an actual character in his universe, Shyrx is normally represented by a Mario recolor named SuperRhys217. SR217 has a blue hat/shirt, green overalls, orange-ish gloves, red shoes, and black hair. Originally, his clothes were much brighter with little to no shading, though this was changed later on.
Rhys received a semi-custom model in early 2021 for World Traveler 64. His new outfit retains his normal color scheme, albeit now his gloves and shoes have black undertones, and his overalls have been replaced with normal pants and a jacket with a black undershirt. The most notable difference is his new Lux pendant, which is worn around his neck.
Since World Traveler 64, SuperRhys217 has been commonly depicted as a Keyblade wielder, using one in most Green Screen Fights and several non-machinima areas.
=== Shyrx's videos ===
SuperRhys217 is normally a main protagonist, having been a major character in all of Shyrx's created series. In-universe, SR217 himself is actually one of many different versions of Rhys, all scattered across different worlds. All of these are fragments of the original Rhys, whose fractured soul was dubbed "Shyrx". In Corrupt, his fractured soul went to reclaim all of its fragments, SuperRhys217 included. Additionally, SuperRhys217 has his own doppleganger named SuperBhys712, who serves as an antagonist from time to time.
=== Other videos ===
Outside of his own content, SuperRhys217 typically makes appearances as cameos or as a minor protagonist in other machinimas. Sometimes, he is referred to by his actual username, Shyrx, as a result of the name confusion.
== List of SM64-related series ==
With the exception of Battle of the Stars, all of Shyrx's created series are canonical to his overall timeline.
=== Light into Dark ===
SuperRhys217 and his friends work with the Light Angels to fight the Dark Angels. Was cancelled after part four.
=== Battle of the Stars ===
Serving as a replacement to Light into Dark, this series also became unfinished. Battle of the Stars features fight scenes created by SuperMarioFan590.
=== SuperRhys217 Generations ===
Taking place after the Cannon Calamity 64 Collab, SuperRhys217's old self (who the present version calls "Classic") comes to the present time and both versions of Rhys fight to stop an unknown threat. This is the shortest of the different series created by Shyrx, but it is also the only complete one so far.
=== World Traveler 64 ===
A currently ongoing machinima series that takes heavy inspiration from Kingdom Hearts. Taking place after the events of Corrupt and SuperRhys217 Generations, it involves Rhys gaining a weapon known as a Keyblade and, along with his friends, travelling to different worlds to fight off Shyrx (the Time Destroyer) and the Heartless. Shyrx considers this to be his most ambitious project yet.
