SMG4 (short for SuperMemeGuardian4, or SuperMarioGlitchy4, briefly known as SMG4 // Glitch Productions), is an Australian-American YouTube channel, created by a guy named Luke Lerdwichagul. (Who is a director, animator, and voice actor for the channel.) He is known for creating animated/machinima videos based around the Super Mario Bros. characters. These machinimas also include characters from other video games (including other Nintendo properties), or are made up entirely. The channel was started on February 14, 2009, and has been going ever since. The show ended on December 27, 2025 so he could focus on Glitch Productions.
Lerdwichagul is also the co-founder of the animation studio, Glitch Productions (formerly known as Glitchy Boy), along with his older brother, Kevin Lerdwichagul.
