Tari

Introduction [1/2]

Tari is a major character in the SMG4 series and the protagonist of Meta Runner as a counterpart in an alternate continuity, where her full name is Turbo Artificial Rapid Intelligence. She's a major character in Season 8, the tritagonist of The Waluigi Arc, a major character in The Rapper Bob Arc, Season 9 and The Anime Arc, one of the two tritagonists (alongside Meggy Spletzer) of Season 10, a supporting character in The YouTube Arc, a major character in Season 11, The SMG4 Movie: 10 Year Anniversary Special, the Genesis Arc and a main character in SMG4 Movie: WESTERN SPAGHETTI. She befriended SMG4's Gang, namely Meggy Spletzer and Saiko Bichitaru. She was introduced during the Waluigi Arc, and since then has become a major character in the series. She is the only member of SMG4's Gang to not live in the Mushroom Kingdom, but instead in Onett, Eagleland (though Kevin Lerdwichagul have stated that maybe her place of origin is Silica City, just like her Meta Runner counterpart but Kevin wasn't sure if Silica City exists in the SMG4 universe). During the YouTube Arc, Tari was sent to the Internet Graveyard in SMG4: Deleted due to Belle Fontiere (on behalf of SMG3) altering the events of her debut in SMG4: Mario The Ultimate Gamer, having Mario prevented from meeting Tari. However, she and the rest of her friends were rescued by Mario in SMG4: A Totally Normal S̷͍͖͉̙͚͎̑̃̿͑̆̇̚͠M̸͇͇̦̮̌̿Ğ̴̫̗̖͎͔̳4̶̞͇̰̎̀́̚ Episode.

Introduction [2/2]

Like many other members of the gang in Season 11, she winds up being demoted to a minor character to the presence of new characters such as SMG1 and SMG2, and returning characters such as SMG3 and Axol, most likely to keep her and Belle Fontiere from becoming stale characters following Meta Runner's Season 2 release and Meta Runner Season 3, which premiered on July 22nd 2022. This minor role was set to continue with her absence in the first three episodes of Season 12 and throughout the season as a whole. In Season 13 she finally starts to appear more and even gets some development alongside Luigi. She would also get her long awaited redesign in SMG4: Grand Theft Mario to make up for her absence in The Lawsuit Arc. Into the early episodes of Season 14, she has begun making a resurrgence into the spotlight with her new voice actor and the result of her Meta Runner arm mysteriously achieving sentience and becoming known as Clench, helping her to become an "animal whisperer" at the zoo as she seeks to find a career besides playing video games every day.

Physical Appearance

Tari is a young woman of average height with an athletic yet Curvacious build with her having Large/Medium sized Breasts, a slim waist, Wide Hips, Thick yet Toned Thighs.She has fair white skin, silky and short neon blue hair in a flat, disheveled neck-length cut prominently styled with a collection of hair acting as a fringe to cover her right eye, similar to Lilyncookies and Rosalina, with black eyebrows, tropical indigo eyes, and pink cheeks.

Outfit

She wears a white tank top with the Meta Runner logo at the bottom left.Tari's dodger hoodie which she now wears unzippped has also been enhanced, as it now has the zipper popping out, the pockets are more visible, and the sholders are identical to blue jay wings. Her black fingerless gloves have cyan tips and her Meta Runner arm is glossier than it was in her original model, she also has a wristband and her iconic symbol indented on her left hand. She now wears brown cargo pants, though she still keeps her white and blue socks. However her flip-flop sandals are brown on top while they're blue with the Meta Runner symbol at the bottom.

Personality

Tari is an innocent, insecure girl frequently prone to hyperactivity

Power level

While Tari is shown to be physically weaker than many of the characters in her earlier appearances up to Season 10, her amazing knowledge and skill on video games as well as her expert mode and powerful arm make her very versatile in the various situations she is in

Skills

Gaming Skills: In most of the episodes she’s in, Tari is very skilled and focused in playing every type of game she plays, resulting in her winning when it comes to fighting games such as Super Smash each other in the ass Bros. or going on par with Meggy in a shooting competition. This ability is also benefited by Tari’s cybernetic arm, which increases the speed and accuracy of what she’s playing. In "10 Year Anniversary Special", she weaponized this ability by using a remote control rubber duck to attack the corrupted dead memes, but ultimately failed because corrupted memes can't be killed. Her skill extends to non-digital game formats as well such as board games and trading card games. Cooking Skills: Tari has been shown to be an experienced cook on two occasions, in "War Of The Fat Italians 2020" and "Mario has a BBQ but he's not invited", where she has demonstrated that she can make foodstuffs like pancakes and steaks with a decided method on how she wants them to turn out. In both cases, the errors she has made as a result of her skills are not of her own choice and are more a part of her misfortune streak, and in contrast to Meggy Spletzer who can't cook at all, she is more than capable of cooking a meal correctly and even has her own planned methods of doing so depending on the category. Though she may be experienced with cooking, her skills have been used for the pivotal point of a joke the majority of the time they have been displayed.

Abilities

Game Warping: Tari also has the ability to transport herself (actually, her conscience) and people near her into a video game she’s currently playing with if someone or herself activates this power. During this sequence, Tari’s eyes fully turn blue (instead of white like her Meta Runner counterpart), Tari has slight control over the environment and can analyse everything to find a certain objective or goal for her and her friends to go after. In "The Tari Abnoramlity", Tari cannot leave the video game on her own free will as she must beat it if she wants to. Transformation: Her arm can turn into a rocket which she can use to fly around. First discovered in SMG4: The Final Piece when Melony reprograms Tari's arm to turn into it. Superhuman Strength: While she was shown to be much weaker in earlier bloopers, after The YouTube Arc, she's been shown to be more competent (likely due to the introduction of Whimpu, who's much weaker), as in "Mario goes to subway and purchases 1 tuna sub with extra mayo" she was able to throw Whimpu across a spike field with ease and subsequently leap over it from a standstill, something she couldn't do when she first debuted. Tari's arm is also shown to be extremely resistant/unbreakable, as shown in "World War Mario". Immortal: In SMG4: The Resurrection, in order to bring Greg The Alien back to life, his species turned Tari and her teammates into Immortals. Healing: According to one of the aliens, Tari is a lightbinder. Her primary ability is to heal the severely wounded. Unfortunately, it does not work on those who are already dead. Light Barrier: Tari can create a defensive barrier that blocks off dangerous attacks.

Weakness

Impulsiveness: Tari has demonstrated with nearly every single action that she has made, bar the rare occasion that she manages to focus without a problem, that she is unable to have second thoughts about something before committing to something. She finds no issue in doing certain things, regardless of how destructive or misguided they may be, though she is also dragged along by other people who do the same behaviour in a worse fashion than she could have the willpower to think of even doing. She has demonstrated herself to be unwittingly inconsiderate of her surroundings to the extent that she can be just as much of a deviant of basic moral cleanliness as Mario, though only accidentally, but she receives no punishment for it besides being threatened and her lack of confidence leading her to be terrified of said threat.

Relationship with Mario

Mario saw her as a gaming pro and requested her help for beating SMG4. She agrees to help him despite being made uncomfortable when he got naked. She may not have been trying to for her fear of meeting new people, but Mario indeed wrecked SMG4 and the two have been friendly since. Tari temporarily broke her friendship with Mario after the Internet apocalypse, but they seemed to have reconciled. Since JunJub made his debut in SMG4: The E G G, she and Fishy Boopkins both scold Mario for his cruel and selfish behavior towards JubJub.

Relationship with Meggy Speltzer

The two had a rivalry for tickets, but after losing the match, Meggy looked up to her like an idol for her amazing shooting skills (somewhat unaware that she's a cyborg). They have become extremely good friends, as seen in the Mario Convention when they went together (despite Meggy's obvious discomfort), and after she was T-Pose Zombified, Tari attempted to bring Meggy to her senses, and was able to evoke a frown and tear out Meggy. She is seen waiting for Mario and the gang in SMG4: Mario's Late! alongside Meggy and Saiko. She's also one of the "Wild Child" members alongside Meggy and Saiko. Both of them are shown to enjoy competition, and neither of them are prone to fighting with others.

Relationship with Saiko Bichitaru

Though the two of them are opposites, Tari and Saiko seem to be on good terms, in SMG4: The Mario Purge (Halloween 2018), Tari invited Saiko to play Super Smash Bros. Melee. Saiko initially rejected the invitation, but after Tari informed her that the game was violent, Saiko happily accepted. The two of them worked together to take down the Teletubbies that were attacking them, but their efforts ultimately failed due to Tari not tossing the torch hard enough. Tari is part of the Wild Childs alongside Saiko and Meggy. Saiko was creeped out by Tari’s obsession with rubber ducks, though she had displayed an unhealthy obsession with Fishy Boopkins.
