Joey Perleoni

Joey Perleoni, also known as Joey5802, is an American YouTuber who is most notably known for the Youtube series "Mario Party DS Anti-Piracy". He has uploaded many short videos, most of which being made up "events" that play out if you pirate Mario Party DS. The series has since ended, however, there is more content in the works that do not pertain to MPDSAP.
==History==
===Before the Anti-Piracy screens===
Before Joey Perleoni uploaded the Mario Party DS anti-piracy screens and events, he had one video uploaded to his channel titled "Reggie Fils-Aime responds to the Mother 3 question @ Cornell". He joined Youtube on September 6, 2013, but did not upload until October 21, 2019.
===Mario Party DS Anti-Piracy screens/events===
After not uploading for a year, Joey uploaded a video titled "Mario Party DS Anti Piracy Screen" on October 13, 2020. The video blew up and now has over 1 million views, and causing a trend of anti-piracy screens to pop up all over the internet.
On December 17, 2020, he uploaded a video titled "Piracy is no Party! | Mario Party DS Anti Piracy Screen Extended" which is an extended version of the music played in the background of the Mario Party DS Anti-Piracy screen. In the video, you can hear reverse laughing, police sirens, and a Japanese woman speaking.
====Item Shop====
On December 20, 2020, he uploaded a video called "Mario Party DS Anti Piracy | Item Shop Dialogue/Secret Boss HD" where he shows Luigi enter the item shop, for Monty Mole to say "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I don't serve criminals." Then, Luigi is taken into a minigame called "RUN". There are no controls, and the rules say "There is nothing you can do." Then, the game crashes and takes you to the Anti-Piracy screen.
====Final 5 Frenzy Death Event====
On December 22, 2020, Joey uploaded a video called "Mario Party DS Anti Piracy | Final 5 Frenzy Death Event" where the game has entered the final 5 turns. Bowser shows up and Luigi is crushed by a Thwomp. Then the game crashes and it once again shows the anti-piracy screen.
====Forced Character Removal====
On December 27, 2020, Joey uploaded a video titled "Mario Party DS Anti Piracy | Forced Character Removal". In this video, it shows Peach, Toad, and Waluigi disappear, leaving Luigi as the only player left. The game then says, "Nobody wants to party with a criminal." Luigi then falls into a hole, and the game crashes to then show the anti-piracy screen. 
====Shy Guy Consumption====
On January 2, 2021, Joey uploaded a video titled "Mario Party DS Anti Piracy | Shy Guy Consumption". In this video, it shows the game rules and controls of the a minigame called Sweet Sleuth. Eventually, Shy Guy consumed Luigi and the anti-piracy screen shows up.
====Anti-Piracy Self Reporter====
On January 8, 2021, he uploaded a video that is different from the rest. This time, instead playing a minigame and getting the piracy screen, it cuts to the Nintendo Anti-Piracy Self Reporter. It searches for an access point, and calls 911 and asks you to read the text shown on the screen.
====Host Hoedown====
Host Hoedown is the introduction of a character named DJ Hallyboo, (a parody of the character MC Ballyhoo from Mario Party 8), who is reoccurring in the series and shows up in the Finale. It involves Luigi tracing words and writing "apologies", asking for forgiveness for pirating the game. The minigame is apparently impossible, since the text moves too fast to write at the end.
====The Police are at my House====
On February 8, 2021, Joey did a livestream titled "The police are at my house" in which Joey is arrested for "unauthorized duplication transiting Nintendo's intellectual properties".
====Happy Meal====
On February 28, 2021, he uploaded another video titled "Mario Party DS Anti Piracy | Happy Meal". It is a poorly-made commercial for McDonald's Happy Meals, featuring 2 people in Toad and Luigi masks, playing a demo of Mario Party DS before Luigi is caught. This is very similar to the videos on a channel Joey features called Luxury Station, and was apparently meant to "tie in" the two. 
On March 7, 2021, he uploaded "The Whole Party And You | Mario Party DS x McDonald's Music Extended" Which is an extended version of the music in last video we discussed. 
====Download Play Entity====
On March 28, 2021, he uploaded himself using the Download Play multiplayer feature, in which an entity named "Mammon" joins the game. This video was apparently filler and not relevant in any capacity.
====Finale====
On April 22, 2021, he uploaded the last episode in the series.
The video starts with Joey leaving a courthouse, and going to his desk. He starts to play Mario Party on his laptop, which shows a scene in his "Host Hoedown" video. After failing, he decides to search "mario party ds tas bot," which works, but it angers DJ Hallyboo.
DJ Hallyboo comes out of the game, and the rest of the video is followed by DJ Hallyboo chasing Joey around various places (with several events happening inbetween). At the very end, Joey gets trapped inside a DS at the hands of DJ Hallyboo, and then the DS is destroyed, leaving Joey presumably "dead".
Joey has stated that he does not plan to continue the series and wishes to do other content.
====Q&A Livestream====
This was a livestream held on May 16th, 2021, which surrounds questions about MPDSAP (and Joey's content in general). The livestream is about an hour and a half long and has a lot of content in it.
===Livestreams===
Joey's current livestream schedule is every week on Saturdays at 8PM EST. These live streams, so far, usually revolve around gaming content and things of the like. He has already done a playthrough of Mario Party DS and Mario Party 8.
==Trivia==
*His favorite video game is Mario Party DS.
*His profile picture is a cheese-themed Roblox avatar.
**The image is apparently a stolen meme that he found and made his avatar one day. The full image is of the cheese man saying "I am your sleep paralysis demon".
*In the future, Joey wants to make gaming and gaming mystery content. He is also apparently working on a film. There is not currently plans to make more piracy screens, nor will Mario Party DS Anti Piracy be continued.
*Luxury Station and the videos on the channel is, from what it looks like, Joey's current main focus. 
*On January 1, 2021, YouTube creator simonejoys interviewed Joey about things relating to MPDSAP. 
*For some reason, Joey posted many Bazooka Joe comics on his community tab. 
**This might be a play on his name, as he is often referred to as simply "Joe".
*Although not directly involved in any projects, the user XernDrawz has been known to contribute to Mario Party DS Anti-Piracy indirectly, making a lot of canon lore for the series and being a somewhat well-known artist in the community. This is lesser known, as he has only been mentioned briefly a couple times (and is credited in the finale). 
** Currently an epilogue comic by Xern is in the works, which is canon according to Joey.
** Joey works in the Mario's Madness mod as the composer
