Love him | InstagramSam | A very merry chrysler to the fans from my fam 🎄🎅 | Instagram As a child, he played video games on the Nintendo 64 and GameBoy Color during the late-N64 to early-GameCube era. He attended college as a marketing major and graduated with a business degree. After graduating, he moved into a house with fellow content creators AttackingTucans and TWD98 in Los Angeles, California. In mid-2021, he moved out of that house and into his current home in Massachusetts. Since the beginning of 2023, Sam began to stream and record videos less often, focusing on quality over quantity.
==Main Games ==
====Paper Mario / Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door====
* These games have been a staple of the original RedFalconGames channel as well as the current RedFalcon channel. The most common category for Paper Mario was All Cards while for TTYD it was Pre-Hooktail Pit.
*Sam has also done challenges for TTYD such as a Pit of 100 Trials Randomiser, attempting to clear the Pit while blindfolded, and Impossible Mode.
*He has also played through the Google-Translated mod called Book of Mario: Thousands of Doors.
====Mario Kart series====
Mario Kart Wii
*Custom tracks have been featured on the RedFalcon channel in the past, with Sam trying to beat tracks he had no knowledge of.
*Sam has also recorded Impossible Custom Tracks and Item Rain series with his friend and former housemate TWD98.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
*His first video of this game was during the Video ends series.
* Since first wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, Sam has been making different challenges in said game, mostly exploring and using mods made by Mayro and Ro, and custom characters found on gamebanana.
====Super Mario Maker 2====
*This game has become one of the most recognizable features on the RedFalcon channel, with hundreds of videos made from Twitch stream highlights and pre-recorded challenges.
*A majority of the SMM2 videos showcase Multiplayer Versus matches that are edited for comedic effect; Sam’s current ranking fluctuates due to recording the Video Ends series on the same account.
*Sam has also participated in a handful of the Ninji Speedruns and was a world record holder for a brief period of time.
*There are also videos where Sam had attempted a variety of challenges in SMM2 such as: permadeath in Normal Endless mode, clearing levels as fast as possible, and trying to play with inverted game colours.
*Sam collaborated with his friends raysfire and PangaeaPanga during the pandemic, either individually or as a group known as a “flobby” (portmanteau for “friend lobby”). The three played Multiplayer Versus for fun, with the occasional guest taking up the fourth spot. Sam occasionally invited his then-housemate TWD98 to take his spot and compete against the other players. While this series has since been retired due to Sam's less-frequent streaming and the fact that he has been moving toward variety content, the trio have done several multiplayer challenges in the game since.
*In 2020, Sam started producing the Video Ends series. Each video saw a challenge chosen from previous comments and as soon as Sam fails it, the video is cut off. These videos were screened as they premiered on the RedFalcon channel so people could experience the suspense of not knowing how long the video would be. This series was shifted from Super Mario Maker 2-exclusive videos to any family-friendly game in late 2021, and eventually retired due to the decline in its active community. The series has over 100 Super Mario Maker 2 videos.
====Mario Party series====
* When Mario Party Superstars was released, Sam attempted a world record, becoming the first player to get 30 points in the minigame Dinger Derby.
*Most of the Mario Party videos imply challenging the Master CPUs in the "Party Mode" or the minigames; as well as trying to lose against the easiest CPUs.
* Sam also has attempted different challenges, such as: playing without seeing, doing nothing, only pressing one button, or helping an easy CPU to win against master CPUs.
*In his channel, there are videos of Mario Party 8, Mario Party 9, Mario Party 10, Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars. He has played distinctive game modes in each instalment, such as Step It Up and Perspective Mode (MP9) and Bowser Party (MP10).
*He collaborated with his friends raysfire and PangaeaPanga for a brief period of time, where they played Party Mode online together.
====Super Mario Bros. Wonder====
*Sam has done various random challenges in Super Mario Bros. Wonder since its release in October 2023, and have become one of the main sources of Sam's now-occasional videos. He does most of these challenges live on his YouTube channel. These include: 
**Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but Sam tries to 100% the game in 24 hours.
** Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but every time Sam dies, the game speeds up. Every time he beats a level, he spins a wheel with random challenges that will also speed up the game if he fails them.
**Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but Sam tries to beat the game while touching the least colors possible.
====Modded Mario Games====
*After originally doing a playthrough of both Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury on the channel, Sam started to create videos that focused on playing custom content that has been modded into the games.
*These mods were made by Mayro as well as others within the 3D Mario modding community and featured many different styles of gameplay features; from simple speed modifiers to entirely customised levels.
*Following on from this, Sam started playing mods for Super Mario Odyssey, again created by a similar group of developers. Custom content has included Odyssey levels based on previous Mario games, such as Super Mario Galaxy.
