Sleepless Sorrow

Sleepless Sorrow is a Super Mario mishap. Production began in June 2021, and it was released on August 28, 2020. This is K41's 45th video.

Plot: K41, Mario, and GV camp out at GoomerStore all night for the upcoming release of Nui Supra Mayro Bross, but after K41 messes up, GV and Mario leave him. K41 then does spaghetti and travels through his mind as he tries to figure out how to make things right for the friends he has wronged.

Trivia:

GV gave him the idea for this video.

Originally, ShadowGamer67890 was going to also be credited with the idea for Sleepless Sorrow, since K41 was going to integrate his idea for a scrapped video called "Swap Stupidity" into Sleepless Sorrow, but while filming, K41 ultimately decided to scrap his idea.

Originally, this video was going to be named "Restless Retards" but K41 changed the name to "Sleepless Stupidity" because K41 did not feel comfortable using the word "retard" in that context. He then renamed it again to "Sleepless Sorrow" to reflect the more serious tone of the video.

Originally, this video was going to be more stupid, and have more jokes in it, but K41 decided to make a serious video instead.

This is the 2nd time Steve appears as a conscience to someone, this time being to K41. The first time was in the 2018 Christmas Special, It's a Wonderful Knex Life, when Steve acted as a conscience to Mario.

The GoomerStore seen in the video is a parody of GameStop. That building was originally a Lego store, which last appeared in The WAH Gang: Pizzaquest but K41 permanently converted it to a hybrid between GoomerStore and a Lego store where the store sells both video games and Legos.

Likewise, the game Nui Supra Mayro Bross is a parody of the New Super Mario Bros. series.

Although this idea came from GV, this idea is similar to a scene from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series where Greg and Rowley camp out overnight at a video game store.

This is the first time Tanto64, Ruff64, and K4747 voiced their own characters. This video also features more voice acting than text speech for K41 and Mario.

It is unknown if CringeyBoi69 is officially sponsored by OnlyFans, since that scene took place in K41's head.

When K41 first sees his conscience, he asks if he is K'nex Trackmaster.

ObeyMarioBros is not seen in this video, but is mentioned multiple times saying that he is in the hospital after K41 shot him in Obby for K42.

When K41, Mario, and GV are arguing about Mario and K41's "spaghetti trips" he is referring to the Spaghetti Virus series.

Originally, when Peach showed up wearing the new bike outfit, K41 was going to use Gmod to animate Peach in her outfit. However, he ultimately decided to put a censored bar over everything below her head, implying she was naked (or at least wearing something transparent enough to require a censored bar). It is never revealed what either of the bike outfits look like.

The "cheat codes" where K41 appears to be swimming underwater and where Mario, Toad, and Yoshi are frozen are references to Super Mario 64 Cheat codes where Mario can swim in the air and everything freezes respectively.

This is the 3rd video where K41 said the f-word (he said it twice, and both times it was censored). The first was as K41 in Shy Guy Scramble (censored) and the 2nd time was in It's a Wonderful K'nex Life (as Steve, uncensored). In Sleepless Sorrow, K41 also says "titties" but censors it for an unknown reason.

Red and Blue Toad make a cameo when the crowd is zoomed out while K41 is talking to Steve, but when the camera zooms in on the crowd, they are nowhere to be found.

K41 being able to download the game digitally is a reference to how all games released starting with the WiiU could be downloaded physically or digitally, and a cartridge/disc of the game was no longer required.
