Synopsis[]
Bowser plays Charleyyy and Friends: The Video Game!
Plot[]
Bowser is watching Charleyyy and Friends when he sees Charleyyy advertising his own video game. He gets very excited and runs to Chef Pee Pee. Chef Pee Pee is making tacos until Bowser comes in and tells Chef Pee Pee to get him the Charleyyy and Friends video game.
Bowser can't get it himself because he doesn't have a driver's license and that the game is rated M (even though he is an adult). Chef Pee Pee leaves to get and it takes 6 hours because there was a long line.
After giving Bowser the game, Bowser complains why it took so long. Chef Pee Pee calls him an idiot. Bowser then inserts the game disc in his PlayStation 3 and starts playing.
After pressing start, Bowser enters a level where he has to wake up Charleyyy. After turning on the lights, he yells at Charleyyy to wake up.
Next, Bowser starts walking Charleyyy over to the bathroom, but Charleyyy hits the wall and camera making lose a heart of health. When he goes into the bathroom, he has the option for Charleyyy to either wash his face, brush his teeth, poop in the sink or exit. Bowser picks the option to wash his face. Then he makes Charleyyy brush his teeth, but Charleyyy picks up the hair dryer instead, but Charleyyy then brushes his teeth.
After that, Bowser makes Charleyyy get dressed where he can choose a naked outfit, hillbilly outfit or a random outfit. He chooses a random outfit. Charleyyy emerges from the closet wearing a pink robe and asks if its swag. Bowser chooses no, then Charleyyy goes back in the closet and emerges wearing crutches. Bowser chooses no again. Charleyyy then emerges out of the closet now wearing a bra and the same crutches. Bowser chooses a different outfit and then Charleyyy finally emerges wearing his standard T-shirt and pants. Bowser finally chooses yes.
Charleyyy then begins to enter the kitchen, but Charleyyy trips and loses half a heart. And when he goes into the kitchen, Bowser has the option to pick either clorox, cereal or Doritos. Bowser tries to pick cereal but has a hard time trying to resist the clorox. He then realizes the doritos and is about to select them but then tells himself that it's more of a snack than a meal and finally selects the cereal. When pouring the cereal Charleyyy pours too much. When Charleyyy pours the milk, again he pours too much milk. Bowser wonders how Charleyyy will eat it without a spoon, so he presses down and Charleyyy dunks his face in the cereal.
After this, Charleyyy is at full health. Bowser then walks Charleyyy to outside and sees a coin and grabs it. Bowser then makes Charleyyy check the mail and sees that there is nothing inside the mailbox resulting in Charleyyy losing half a heart. When trying to enter the car, Charleyyy bumps into the car twice and loses a heart of health. Charleyyy then enters the car on the wrong side (which makes Bowser want to laugh but also makes him mad). So, Bowser tries to make Charleyyy enter the other side, but Charleyyy hits the camera and loses half a heart. Charleyyy hits the camera again and again until he has a half heart left.
Bowser finally makes Charleyyy drive the car. While driving, Bowser turns on the music on the car. Bowser is picking up speed and then has the option to text and drive but gets reminded to not text and drive. He approaches a stop sign when the game reminds Bowser to stop at stop sign, Then Charleyyy randomly says "I wish my dad didn't touch me when I was little". The car is running out of gas and Bowser tries to find a gas station, but the gas runs out.
When the car runs out of fuel, Charleyyy pulls over and gets out of the car. Bowser assumes he's getting gas out of the trunk but he says, "Aw man, no gas" and dies ending the game as the announcer says, "game over". This causes Bowser to get really angry and have a mental breakdown. When Bowser is about to blame Chef Pee Pee, Bowser Junior comes in and Bowser lets Junior play the video game. After ten minutes, Junior beats the game, and when Bowser finds out, he breaks down again and runs out crying jealous of how his son could beat the game and not him.

- Charleyyy: Dies after running out of gas (in video game)
Reception (In SML Universe)[]
The review was given a mixed reception, some of them are brutally difficult due to poor controls that use d-pad instead analog stick, while other are really passable to making a good open world games. The criticism was poor controls due to using d-pad, quick time events, and difficulty spike, especially for driving segment due to has an gas bar that die instantly, while praise was good looking for realistic gameplay. Bowser hated this game due to this games is really too hard and Bowser jr let me play to end this game and gave positive reception.

Errors[]
- Bowser Junior said that the game was for 5-year-olds, but it's actually an M-rated game.
- It's possible that he meant it was easy that a 5 year old could beat the game
- Despite Charleyyy saying his game was rated M with blood, gore, intense violence, strong language, mature humor, nudity, strong sexual content and alcohol, only two of those features were presented in the gameplay, at least from Bowser's view. However, it is likely that those things will occur later in the game. It's just Bowser never got that far and Junior beat the game off-screen.
- It's also possible that it was included for comedic effect.
- At 7:53, the text says "Use arrow keys to pour milk" instead of "Use arrow keys to pour cereal".
