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.

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!

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.

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 most blatant of offenses. With a little subtlety, this makes the forums easy to troll.

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.
• MFGGers will always fall for troll bait, as well as every other kind 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.

Da Boards

• 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.
• 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

• 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. The good thing is that it provokes MFGGers to rage, resulting in lulz.
• Halloween: Varies from year to year, which gives this event a little more variety than other holiday events. Nonetheless, it still manages to suck.
• 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.

The Wiki

MFGG has a wiki which consists entirely of MFGGers writing pages about what they make and vandalizing everything else. Nothing is ever sourced, making it impossible to tell which pages are legit 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 Landmaster 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.
