"Black Yoshi's Scam!" is the 302nd episode of SML Movies.
Synopsis[]
Black Yoshi scams people out of a million dollars!
Plot[]
The video starts off with Mario watching the Spaghetti and Meatballs Channel, then the channel goes to commercial. An ad for a new Call of Duty game called "Call of Duty: World War 2 on the Freakin Moon" plays. Mario freaks out, hears a loud noise, and goes outside, which turns out to be Black Yoshi's friend, Tyrone, in an airplane, spelling "Mario Please" in the sky. Mario returns inside the house before Black Yoshi enters and asks if Mario saw the message in the sky. Mario denies Black Yoshi's request for money. Mario tells him if he wanted money, he should set up a Lemonade Stand. But Black Yoshi says that he drinks Kool-Aid and not Lemonade. Mario then tells Black Yoshi to sell his Kool-Aid, to which he agrees.
He puts up a Kool-Aid stand for $500 a cup because he wants to get the game faster and doesn’t want to wait. However, Tyrone, Bowser Junior, Joseph and Cody are unable to buy his Kool–Aid due to how expensive it is. Later, Brooklyn T. Guy comes over and tells him that he needed a business license to sell the Kool-Aid for $500. But Black Yoshi thought he was saying "biscuit license" when he was actually saying "business license". He said that he would shut his stand down if he doesn't have a license. Black Yoshi told him to try the Kool-Aid. The policeman ties the Kool-Aid and states it tasted like normal Kool-Aid to him. Black Yoshi then said it had drugs in it. Brooklyn Guy annihilates the stand by tipping it over due to Black Yoshi not having a business license.
Mario then asks Black Yoshi how his Kool-Aid stand went, and he said it was terrible because Brooklyn Guy destroyed his stand. Mario then wonders how, and Black Yoshi says that he told him that he needed a biscuit license to sell the Kool-Aid and that he wasn't trying to sell any biscuits. Then Mario asks if he said, "Business License". But Black Yoshi said he said, "biscuit license".
Suddenly, the news starts to play. Sally Hopkins, a young girl, had been funded millions of dollars because of her cancer via the website GoFundMe. Getting an idea from this, Black Yoshi creates his own GoFundMe page, setting a goal for one million dollars and explaining that he needs the new Call of Duty game using poor spelling and grammar. A disappointed Black Yoshi reports to Mario that he isn't receiving any money. Mario explains that Sally was sick, and people only donates to others who are sick or in need of help. This gives Black Yoshi an idea. He edits his GoFundMe page to say that flesh-eating bacteria was eating him from the inside-out, he had p***s aids, he couldn't read, and was currently in a coma. Instantly, Black Yoshi receives $1.4 million.
Mario is dismayed by Black Yoshi's ploy and tries to convince Black Yoshi to return the money. Goodman and Brooklyn Guy stop by the house, not only to discuss Goodman's elephant asshole suit but to see if Black Yoshi is sick or lying. If Black Yoshi is lying, the company will be renamed as GoFuckMe and Black Yoshi won't get the money. After Mario stalls Brooklyn Guy, who is sucked into taking a bath, Black Yoshi appears in a full body cast, pretending to be sick. Brooklyn Guy eventually, finds out that Black Yoshi wasn't sick. Black Yoshi eventually removes the bandages when Brooklyn Guy wants to check the p***s aids. Mario then reveals the truth, but calls off Black Yoshi being arrested and suggests giving the money to people who are sick and actually need the money. Black Yoshi is dismayed by Mario's generosity, but feels better after Mario plans to buy him the new Call of Duty in November. However, Mario won't buy the map packs, so Black Yoshi leaves to consult Tyrone.

Trivia[]
- This is the third 2017 video where Mario appears without Jeffy, the first being "The Couch!" and the second being "Toad's Mistake!". If one counts Toad's Mistake! (2017) as just a remake, then this is the second one.
- This episode was uploaded a year after "The Cat In The Hat", and three years after "It All Comes to an End".
- The spaghetti and meatball channel could be a reference to SMG4, where the show's variant of Mario is obsessed with spaghetti. It is likely however just that Mario loves spaghetti and meatballs in the video games.
- The SML question is recycled from "Loch Ness Monster!".
- This is the second episode where Goodman comes to Mario's house but doesn't ask for his house payment despite its debut in Jeffy's Piggy Bank!
- Brooklyn Guy bathes in the house again in Jeffy Learns Manners.
- This video marks the debut of Goodman's $100,000 "elephant asshole" suit.
- According to Lovell, the scene where Black Yoshi opens up the Kool-Aid stand was a hard scene to film because an African-American neighbor was outside at the time, and Logan didn't want him viewing the Kool-Aid stand as racist.
- This is the first time that Joseph doesn't mention his dead mom since mid-2016.
- The "I DONT FEELZ GOODZ!!!!!!!" GoFundMe page started by Black Yoshi was actually real. It was able to be viewed for a while, though it eventually got deleted.
- Black Yoshi's middle name was revealed to be Yoshi, as seen on his GoFundMe.
- The Spaghetti and Meatball Channel had the exact same intro as the space channel did in "Bowser Junior Goes To The Sun!".
- This is the first and only appearance of Sally Hopkins.
- The episode is likely inspired by the many scams on GoFundMe over the years.
Errors[]
- The Spaghetti and Meatballs Channel airs "nothing but spaghetti and meatballs 24/7", however, it then airs a commercial meaning it doesn't air spaghetti and meatballs 24/7.
- At 6:48 it says "Compton, California" when Logan is from Florida. This could be due to the fact that Black Yoshi was born in Compton.
