## Summary (First Part of the Video)

King starts off the video with him asking his viewers to not dislike the video and to hear him out. He mentions how, in this video, he won't be ranting over how the gameplay of Color Splash isn't as good as The Thousand Year Door. Plainrocky123 then comes in to say that The Thousand Year Door is the only viable Paper Mario game that anyone should play ever. King then tells Plainrocky123 to STFU and smacks the game out of his hands.

King then explains how he had finished the Color Splash game and says how he doesn't care if he gets hate for his opinion about Color Splash being his new favourite Paper Mario game, whether it'll be from The Thousand Year Door fans or Sonic fans. King then goes on to disclaim that he is using gameplay from other YouTubers because he does not have a capture card. (The people who he took the gameplay from were linked in the description of the video) The reason why Color Splash is his new favourite Paper Mario game is because of the dialogue, the combat, and the surprises throughout the game, plus the gameplay mechanic. King then tries one of the gameplay mechanics to try to fix a monitor, which its color "got drained", by hammering it, which did restore a bit of color, and now he was able to edit this video. He gave the game a rating of 9/10.

Now he gets on to what it is he hates about Color Splash, and it's about how he is disgusted by the amount of innocent Shy Guys that are murdered throughout the game. He then debunks how the Shy Guys aren't actually enemies in the game, and then makes a remark that Mario is a psychopath (after having played through the game). He then shows a few examples of how the Shy Guys are treated in this game.

## Summary (2nd Part of the Video - The Examples)

### 1st Example (The Paint)

The first example shown in this video is where a Shy Guy dies (and might have deserved it) and King implies on how the paint looks like the Shy Guy's blood.

### 2nd Example (Toad crushing a Shy Guy below a bridge)

The second example shows how a Toad was trying to violently murder a Shy Guy by crushing him down below a bridge, and you're (for some reason) forced to help the Toad murder the Shy Guy for seemingly little to no reason. King then admits that the Shy Guys do try to murder you, so he lets this example slide.

### 3rd Example (a Shy Guy being bullied to escape another group of Shy Guys)

This is where the messed up part begins. King came across a Shy Guy being bullied to join another group of Shy Guys (with King thinking it was for a gangbang), and the Shy Guy tried to run away from the group, but got caught in a wheel which gets dumped into the river. You can help this Shy Guy out, but King shows what happens when the Shy Guy says he is going to faint and give Mario free stuff as a thankful gesture. King then asks a rhetorical question: "Does Mario catch the Shy Guy before he faints? Maybe help him to the hospital? And then collect his reward?" To which the answer to all that is NOPE! He just takes the reward and leaves, leaving the Shy Guy to fall to his death.

### 4th Example (The Bedsheets)

King does admit in this example that he could be wrong here (because the Shy Guys want to battle you). In this example, you have to get some bedsheets. You try to grab the bedsheet, but there's a plethora of Shy Guys attached to the bedsheet. You then battle the Shy Guy and kill them all. However, their last words were: "We...ironed your sheets... for you... sir..." which King then asks, "Did you just murder some employees that were just doing their job?!".

### 5th Example (The Bucket)

Right after that, you have to collect a bucket to be able to flow across a poisonous river. There's one Shy Guy that also wants one, so Mario collects a bucket by killing its old resident (a Piranha Plant), and the bucket rolls, killing that Shy Guy! Mario, of course, expresses no grief, remorse or any sympathy for that Shy Guy, which, according to King, could be because he doesn't have to share that bucket now!

### 6th Example (Mario throwing away a Shy Guy's washing machine)

King creates an analogy, asking, "Now how would you react if someone stole your washing machine with all your clothes still in it". King admits that he would be relieved in this scenario, as his clothes are from Goodwill and his washing machine is garbage. That analogy applies here in this example, where Mario does that to a Shy Guy, which the Shy Guy understandably gets angry and attacks Mario. Mario then proceeds to kill more angry Shy Guys and other people whose clothes were in the washing machine that Mario threw away. This just shows Mario gets the enemies pissed off on purpose just to have a justifiable reason to kill them all.

### 7th Example (Sunset Express)

Here is the absolutely messed up part about the Shy Guy's treatment in Color Splash. Mario, for once, decides to talk to a Shy Guy in Sunset Express. The Shy Guy then talks about a lot of emotional stuff about his life and being in Bowser's army (the full story can be found here: https://youtu.be/mQFBYSr-cPI?t=76). In a nutshell, every Shy Guy that Mario killed was forced to attack Mario against their will. Mario then goes to murder King's favourite Koopaling. King then explains the sole reason why he chose to make this video, and that being because after you beat the boss and go back to Sunset Express, the Shy Guy is gone! King asks some more questions as to what happened to that Shy Guy. King then demands MatPat from Game Theory to get on this!

### 8th Example (Mass Murder in front of an audience)

After it was revealed that the Shy Guys are forced to attack Mario against their will, King asks another rhetorical question: "Does Mario show some remorse?", to which the answer is NOPE! Mario proceeds to mass murder a bunch of Shy Guy performers in front of an audience! King compares this to some foreign countries that do this type of stuff. King then shows a bunch of Toads cheering on at this mass execution, with the Shy Guys obviously not cheering at the genocide of their own race. Because of this, King now despise Toads even more! King then wishes he could kill Toads because of how there's an overpopulation of them in this game, but sadly you can't, despite how they can still hurt Mario. Not one Toad dies in this game either while hundreds of Shy Guys (some of them innocent) are murdered in this game by Mario.

## Summary (3rd Part of the Video - The Movement)

After going through all of the aforementioned examples, King gets angry about the cruel treatment of the Shy Guys in Color Splash, and their unjustified deaths caused by Mario. King then proceeds to start a movement to show that the Shy Guy's lives do matter, which is known as #ShyGuyLivesMatter. King had already posted the hashtag to Miiverse, to which someone replies saying that the post is "awkward". King then tells that person to kill himself.

King then tries to find another way to spread the movement, which is to grab a piece of cardboard and writes on it "#ShyGuyLivesMatter Stop Mario from murder!" with an emblem of a Shy Guy on the bottom left. He then goes out onto the street while holding this piece of cardboard, to which some bystanders say: "What a loser", "What the hell's a Shy Guy?", "You should go die", "Idiots", "Oh god, I don't want to talk to him", "This generation is f\*\*ked", and in a demonic voice: "KILL YOURSELF!". Thereby suggesting the movement was a failure. After all that, King then proceeds to throw that piece of cardboard in the trash.

## Summary (Ending)

After admitting defeat, King then just accepts that Mario is just going to keep on murdering innocent Shy Guys while getting away with it. Siri then comes in and calls King an idiot, and tells him that Mario was not the one murdering the Shy Guys, to which King debunks Siri's response, saying that he has all the evidence on video stored on a Seagate hard drive (with the words "Ewgato HD" written on it). Siri then asks Mario to kill an innocent Shy Guy, to which Mario does nothing. Siri then asks King to use the controller and crush the Shy Guy, to which King then does that. Siri then asks King: "Now, what action did you just perform?", to which King then realizes that HE is the one killing the Shy Guys (by making Mario kill them), and calls himself a monster. King then takes the Wii U and throws it in the trash, making sure that no one would ever be able to hurt the Shy Guys ever again, including King, while holding a knife to his head.

After the outro (where there was a gunshot sound effect, implying that King shot himself), he then shows how he made a masterpiece by showing how a Toad is "a total fag", with the word "fag" and an arrow pointing to that Toad.

## Trivia

* About a week after King made this video, he found out what happened to the Shy Guy from Sunset Express. It turns out he died in the Mossrock Theater.
