Mario Fan Games Galaxy
This page is under construction.
Mario Fan Games Galaxy, or just MFGG, is a website that is to Super Mario Bros. as My Immortal is to Harry Potter. It is where spoiled 10 year olds with no business being on the internet upload their amazing Mario fan games, sprites, tutorials, and music followed by screaming at each other in the forums. MFGGers can also write reviews of these fan games and score them on a scale of 1 to 10, which got us thinking: why don't we review MFGG ourselves?
The Mainsite
This is where all the user-created content is uploaded. The mainsite software has a clusterfuck of bugs in it, which have been present for years because almost everyone on the staff is too lazy to learn PHP, and those who aren't are too lazy to finish what they start. Expect averaged review scores to be anything but average and the update history to never update. You might even get an averaged review score despite not having gotten any reviews at all! The post form can also be hacked to submit scores like 1718/10, -2784/10, and Tubgirl/Lemon Party.
Mainsite submissions come in several categories: Games, Sprites, How-Tos, Reviews, Music, and Miscellaneous. How-Tos are Game Maker or Clickteam source files which either hold your hand every step of the way or are utterly incomprehensible. Either way, people who download these How-Tos will do nothing except make minor changes and upload it as if it was something original.
In this site, reviews are failed essay assignments for remedial English. They will often contain one to two sentences per content category if the writer is feeling particularly diligent, but no more. They take zero effort to write and can be accepted even if they have blatant grammar mistakes.
Quality Control
Is a lie. There is no such thing as quality control on MFGG. Nonetheless, there are some staff members who review submissions before they are made public on the mainsite, but this only serves to prevent lulz as only Rule 34 and total garbage are rejected. Nonetheless, there is still much lulz to be had if you can get a troll game past this pseudo-QC, as everyone who plays it will rage.
If your submission is actually legitimate and has been rejected, you have failed at the most basic of tasks, and should be greatly ashamed. Nonetheless, most Mfags will either make insignificant changes to get it accepted or respond with massive butthurt.
Given its bug-ridden status and worthless staff, we give the mainsite a 2/10.
The Forums
The forums is where the stupidity of individual members is on full display. The forum staff is apathetic as fuck and will only ban for the mosst blatant of offenses. With a little subtlety, this makes the forums easy to troll, and there are many inviting targets for such.
Forum Facts
- Moderators are too apathetic to ban rule-breakers on sight, so they instead give "warn points," which do absolutely nothing except take away Happy Hearts until you're at almost half your warn limit. Seriously.
- MFGGers will always fall for troll bait, as well as other kinds of bait.
- Happy Heart badges are awarded for having enough posts and being "good" for so many months. They are completely worthless because the only requirements are to have enough posts and to not post anything blatantly stupid. Almost everyone has them.
- Super Reviewer badges are also completely useless because most reviews are shit--the badge is awarded for writing lots of reviews, not good reviews.
Notable Boards
- Development Showcase: Where people show off their shit without worrying about the quote-unquote "Quality Control". Also the place where children will bitch about their games not being accepted when it is total shit even by the QC's standards. Unfinished demos and non-Mario games are commonly seen here.
- The Arts Board: The place where children will bitch about their sprites not being accepted.
- Pointless Post Palace: The epitome of unfunny, with posts that made even less sense than Illogicopedia. Eventually, even the MFGG staff got sick of how utterly stupid MFGGers were being and closed it down.
- Casual Conversation Castle: PPP 2.0, which tried to be less stupid than the PPP and failed hard.
- The Lounge: PPP 3.0! Hey, maybe if we try to make casual forums enough times, one of them will eventually work out!
- Submit-It: A forum that existed for handling submissions when the mainsite became self-aware and decided to stop eating everyone's shit. Now that it has been beaten into submission, this board has been closed down.
Special Events
Like some other internet communities, MFGG has a number of annual holiday events.
- MFGG Awards: An event where people vote on the best users and fan games of the year. If you're Thunder Dragon, you'll automatically win every relevant category regardless of merit as the community collectively sucks your cock because HOLY SHIT THE FOUNDER MADE SOMETHING.
- April Fools: Typically involves fucking up the forum themes, screwing with the swear filter, and/or temporarily opening the Pointless Post Palace. There might be a few tricks here and there, but the true spirit of April Fools is lacking.
- Mindfuck Puzzles (Easter): An Easter egg hunt that is nothing like an Easter egg hunt. Instead of hunting for eggs, the eggs are clearly stowed away in obvious locations. To get these eggs, one must solve logic puzzles originally conceived by aliens from outside the solar system.
- Halloween: Varies from year to year, which gives this event a little more variety than other holiday events.
- Secret Santa (Christmas): Where all the MFGGers give gifts to each other. Your gift giver and your gift receiver are completely random, and there is no quality control--anything you get will be total shit, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Typical MFGGer Quotes
Despite the MFGG community lasting so long, it is full of both children and adults who seem to think they know everything and that they run the place. Thus, we have given the forums a 3/10.
The Wiki
MFGG has a wiki which consists entirely of MFGGers writing pages about themselves and their creations while vandalizing everything else. Nothing is ever sourced, making it impossible to tell which pages are factual and which are garbage. Nonetheless, it is the place where MFGG history is recorded, and there is the occasional page that is full of lulz.
A History of MFGG Lulz
- The "Great Mistake", as they call it, was when then-administrator Jas decided it was a good idea to give infamous users Cutman and Biddy admin powers and then notified them of such. Predictably to everyone but Jas, Cutman logged in and Deleted everything in sight and took over the forums. Sadly, Cutman was not vigilant, and another admin was able to strip his power--but the damage was done, with the forums losing one month of posts and Jas's reputation ruined.
The wiki, while being deeply flawed, is nonetheless informational and has its own records of lulz that happened in the past. We give the wiki a 5/10.
Unofficial Shit
MFGGers themselves have started some unofficial sub-communities, which are always doomed to failure one way or another.
The MFGG Skype Group
The Skype group has gone through a series of incarnations, mainly because every MFGGer who gains authority in a Skype group is even more chickenshit than the MFGG staff. At least they can keep a community running for years. Skype chats generally die due to becoming live Pointless Post Palaces (i.e. shitposting, drama, and other various forms of cancer), motivating a misguided individual to make a new one. Everyone joins this new chat and the cycle continues.
In August 2015, a new Skype chat was created by Syaxamaphone with the new restriction that new users had to be approved by admins. While this was intended to keep stupid people out, this has failed because MFGG is a community of retards, and instead the Skype chat has turned into a clique of retards looking down on other retards, with Syaxamaphone doing absolutely nothing about it. In effect, this makes this Skype chat just as bullshit as all the others.
Oh look, I hacked the mainsite's review form! I rate this Tubgirl/Lemon Party!
MFGG IRC
An IRC channel on EsperNet created when Cap'n Coconuts got butthurt over Saltonara supposedly insulting his friend. In a desperate attempt to make it nothing like the Skype group, CC went full commie and made it free for every social reject that wasn't banned from the entirety of MFGG to join. Despite giving op permissions to MFGG staff, CC still has absolute power and could flip the fuck out at any moment like he has done to every MFGGer ever.
We know without a shout of a doubt that it will become just another Pointless Post Palace, despite having never been there. We are never wrong. 1/10.
MFGG'S Greatest
MFGG's Greatest, or MFGG's Greatest Hits: The "Best" Quotes from MFGG, is a Tumblr page run by Mit, Cam, and Colton for the sole purpose of laughing at other people in the MFGG community. While some lulz can be gained from these archives, Mit has chosen not to name and shame, and so the sources of most submissions are "anonymous" as long as everyone else is too stupid or lazy to Google it, backread Skype history, or log anything at all in IRC. In fact, we at ED decided to amuse ourselves by Googling this shit and making a partial list. If you are in the Hall of Shame, please express your grievances to the moderators above!

While MFGG's Greatest has pointed us to some lulz, it comes with the chickenshit policy of not blaming and shaming that can be circumvented in your sleep. In light of this, we give it a 2/10.
Final Words
WHERE THE FUCK IS QUALITY CONTROL!?!?!?
