   Mr. Puzzles first appeared as a simple TVhead pop-up adware similar to Bonzi Buddy that knowingly sold SMG4 the Mystery Keyboard, leading to SMG4 being possessed by the Demonic Goop, though he was eventually saved by Mario, SMG3, and Meggy. This ended up sinking Peach's Castle and making the SMG4 gang find the Showgrounds, which Mr. Puzzles also previously owned.

   Mr. Puzzles additionally gave former Splatfest champion Oneshot Wren a mysterious medical facility that allowed Wren to create a simulation named WESTERN SPAGHETTI to trap the SMG4 gang. They escaped, however Meggy is tormented everlastingly by the memory.

   After his downfall, Mr. Puzzles resurfaced once again, telling Marty about the secret pizza recipe in SMG3's Sussy Notebook via taking hold of a faux printer Marty owned to print out a message. It was revealed that the entirety of the adventure with SMG3 and SMG4 was orchestrated and recorded by none other, than Mr. Puzzles. He has also been living in the basement of the Showgrounds, and this was revealed when SMG4 and Mario had to go down there to turn on the electricity via a backup generator. When they all entered the basement, he was able to fully control them.

   On March 23, 2024, Mr. Puzzles was able to take "Creative Control" of the SMG4 crew's real lives, possessing them and forcing them all to partake in his shows for his new streaming service 'PUZZLEVISION.' His name was finally revealed as Mr. Puzzles (He was previously known as Mysterious TV Guy) in a short musical number during the first PUZZLEVISION Original- Mario's Mysteries. (A parody of Blue's Clues.)

   Other parodies include in chronological order- 'Once Upon an SMG4,' 'Scooby-Mario, Where'd you Go!,' and 'Mr. Puzzles' Incredible Game Show Spectacular!.' All of these get somewhere from 3.5 to 4 stars. In 'Mr. Puzzles' Incredible Game Show Spectacular!,' Mr. Puzzles asks the audience for 5-star ratings, to which he currently has 4.8 stars, and he is the host for a Family Feud-like game, to which Mario's stupidity dropped the rating down to 3.5. They played Wheel of Fortune, to which Bob's stupidity and Mario being under the wheel dragged it to 2-stars. Game after game, his ratings heightened and then dropped once more, to which he eventually locked Mario in the "No-No Zone" cage, and eventually, Mario broke free from the cage and was no longer trapped under Mr. Puzzles' control.

   Eventually, Mr. Puzzles airs a movie, titled 'SMGBob4Pants,' obviously a parody of Sponge-Bob SquarePants. It was initially successful, until everything started to crack because Mario wasn't present, who was vital in the script. Mario, alone in the Showgrounds, gets interrupted by Mr. Puzzles, pissed off and trying to resist his own violent urges, until he's punched in the screen, shattering it, by Mario. Mr. Puzzles says "NO MORE TV!!!" This lead to Mario violently chasing Mr. Puzzles down, nearly hitting or killing him on multiple occasions. Eventually, he ran away, and entered the TV dimension- Inside of his mind, that he has total control over. Realizing their chaos is what makes them so popular, he brings the SMG4 crew in there, restoring their autonomy. He then sings a song, titled 'Creative Control,' before sending them into more TV shows, each in groups of 2. This eventually got him his 5-star rating, allowing him control of reality as a whole, making a reality show with everyone in his control, including the audience and everyone watching him. Until Mario entered the studio, messing up his set, ruining his rating and giving everyone control back. The SMG4 crew then made their own reality show, to Mr. Puzzles' rage. He yelled at them and attempted to kill them, but Luigi took the blow, turning himself into Luigi the Meat Mallet- A gag used back in Mario's Mysteries. They eventually defeated Mr. Puzzles, to which SMG4 struck him with Luigi the Meat Mallet, sending him flying into oblivion.

   Weeks later, Mario found Mr. Puzzles' bodyless TVhead in the dump where he was sent flying, which allows him to trap them in a parody of Dora the Explorer, named Mario the Exploror. He plays a role in this show, though he speaks Italian in it. Afterwards, they're sent back to the real world, since he has decided to simplify SMG4's show instead of pursuing a complex five-star concept.

   Days later, Mr. Puzzles is watching the grand opening of SMG4's Meme Factory, planning to infiltrate the Comedy Zone, and achieve the 'Funni.'

   Mr. Puzzles is sneaking around, until Leggy, a Goomba version of Meggy, jumps out and surprises him, crashing him into the factory entrance. The Luigi Doll security system fires various missiles that he narrowly dodges. Leggy finds this funny. Mr. Puzzles attempts to grab Leggy, but she bites him, making him slam her against the door trying to get her off of him. This creates an electrical shock that sends them both inside of a parody of 'Despicable Me.' Mr. Puzzles having a persona akin to Gru, SMG3 as Dr. Nefario, SMG4 as Vector, and Leggy as- well- Practically all of the minions.

   Eventually, they succeed in their goal of stealing the moon, after various trials and tribulations. Leggy now finds him cool and joins him on the side of villainy, helping him break into the Meme Factory.

   Mr. Puzzles and Leggy walk through the place, though SMG4 warns them about trespassing, which Mr. Puzzles duly notes and ignores. After she hit her head trying to get out of the Meme Factory due to newfound fear, Mr. Puzzles somewhat gently tosses Leggy into the Monster Energy River to clean her off. This works, but enrages the Bob-Ness Monster. Mr. Puzzles and Leggy mock Bob's name and size, and he retaliates by flooding the room with Monster Energy, putting Mr. Puzzles' life at risk, because he'd die if his TVhead were to get wet, making him cry like a little coward. Leggy messes with Puzzles' dials to turn on the "boobie channel," distracting Bob and letting Puzzles strike Bob with a hammer and defeat him. He scolds Leggy for messing with his dials, but thanks her for saving his life.

   They then accidentally shrink, and find themselves on a table in the Meme Kitchen, where they meet Luigi. Despite being terrified of Mr. Puzzles, he agrees to help them get to the Comedy Zone, if he's transformed into a meat mallet again. But, Mr. Puzzles, having a current 1-star rating and having his powers rely on his ratings, says he cannot fulfill such a request. This starts a Cuphead-style boss battle, where Puzzles and Leggy team up, until they eventually summon Gordon Ramsay to critique Luigi's cooking, and defeat Luigi. They exit the Meme Kitchen, and enter the next room with SMG3.

   A showdown begins, in which SMG3 and Mr. Puzzles have to emote to prove they are cooler. They enter the Comedy Zone, yet it is a trap for SMG4 to begin the TRUE battle, with SMG4 in a Sans-like outfit. They face off, and SMG4 almost kills Mr. Puzzles with a Dr. Robotnik head beam-thing. But Leggy blocks it with another meme that SMG4 was previously using against them. Mr. Puzzles recognizes she did this because they're a team. Eventually, they team up once more to defeat SMG4, leaving the Comedy Zone in Mr. Puzzles' control.

   SMG4, desperate, breaks the glass that brings the flying elevator back to right above where the Comedy Zone stage is. Mario and the elevator he's in, descends and crushes Mr. Puzzles, hurting him but not killing him. Mario gives Leggy a mushroom that turns her back into Meggy. No longer in Leggy's mindstate, she aims her Splattershot at Puzzles, declaring that she would never work with him again. Mr. Puzzles yells at everyone, declaring "I WILL GET YOU, MARIO! I'LL GET ALL OF YOU!!!" before retreating.

   On August 31st, 2024, Mr. Puzzles steals Mario's mustache and gives it to his new 'friend' whom he created much like Frankenstein's monster, named Pedro, to obtain the 'Funni' vicariously. Mario and Pedro end up having a meme-off. SMG3 suggested rigging the votes so Mario wins, to which Mr. Puzzles threatened him, ensuring it was a fairer fight. Mario ended up winning, to which Mr. Puzzles begrudgingly gave Mario his mustache back.

   On September 21st, 2024, Mr. Puzzles has reached his Lowest Point; living in an abandoned TV station, he had realized he had no cash and was utterly broke. After an accidental meetup with the Koopa Troops, little kids who are obsessed with the channel 'Spankysox,' he realized he had only one choice to get money; create mindless kids content and sludge. He made a YouTube channel named 'Puzzlebox Kids,' and got a large following of children. However, every adult who saw this channel agreed that it was awful. At FunFarm Con, when he tried to show his child audience more high-brow content, they had attacked him and he had to run away, to which he hid in a dumpster and had a moment of retrospection. Eventually, once he retreated back to his mansion (That he got when his channel took off in popularity), he decided to produce a grandiose and theatrical episode that... Flopped, horribly. All of his child audience had tweeted hate comments in mass, causing him to 'crash out,' yelling at everyone outside of his door (Which is to say, a LOT of his audience were there.), until they moved on to a new brainrot channel. He deleted Puzzlebox, and went back to his defunct TV station, where he was enraged and in despair over how low he stooped and how he sold his dignity, and even more frustrated at the SMG4 crew for everything they've done. In other words, he was left a sobbing mess, devastated and furious at everyone in general.

   Mr. Puzzles was in his hideout, sharpening and throwing daggers at hung-up images of the SMG4 crew, until Aladdin appeared at his doorstep, offering to "show him the world." Mr. Puzzles declined, yelling that he does NOT want to sign up for Didney+, and retorting how he can "show him how to go away," before being knocked out and rendered unconscious by Goofy. Eventually, he woke up being dragged by Donald Duck and Goofy into Didney Studio, to meet Mickey Mouse, the boss of the operation. Mr. Puzzles directly declined the offer as a creative director, retorting that it's "mindless content," to which Mickey Mouse says that he's "no stranger to mindless content."

   Mickey Mouse shows Mr. Puzzles around the studio, until they reach the Engine Room, the heart and soul of Didney. Up the stairs, he led Mr. Puzzles to the balcony viewing over Didney Worl. Mr. Puzzles had a flashback to when he was a kid, telling his father about him wanting to run an amusement park, only to be told "no son of mine will chase such a foolish dream" and he has no "creative vision." He 'agrees' to Mickey's partnership, only to throw Mickey Mouse off of the balcony, whilst saying "Long live the king," to gain immediate control over Didney Worl.

   While watching the new constructions being built for Didney, now rebranded to Puzzle Park and Puzzlevision+, he realized that he needed an assistant to help him run the place. To which, he possessed Meggy's TV to turn it into HIS monitor screen, to infiltrate into her house. He tries to lightly guilt trip and warm up to her, to manipulate her into turning back into Leggy willingly. As she says she would NEVER work with him, he got Pete and Goofy to physically squash her into Leggy, and getting her to promote Puzzle Park. He merges with the Engine Room to get a complete reign over the entirety of Puzzle Park at the drop of a hat. He is physically hooked up to the machine, held in place by wires connected to the weird mound(?) of unknown materials, that connects his pelvis (He did not have legs in the Engine Coreform) to the Engine. His entire body appeared to be overlayed with scrolling code, binary, data streams, and tech blueprints/circuitry.

   As the SMG4 crew went into Puzzle Park, they were amazed by the wondrous attractions. However, these all turned out to be a ruse to get them comfortable, for him to trap and force Mario and SMG4 to participate in the sometimes near-torturous side shows, while everyone else were quickly brainwashed into carnival workers, much like Leggy. However, she is still obviously his favorite.

   After SMG4 and Mario cleverly escaped the last sideshow and Meggy returned to normal, Mr. Puzzles had an outburst of sadness and seething anger, using the park decorum and attractions as blunt force, remotely controlling everything from his Engine Room, throwing everything at the trio, as they ran across the park, dodging attacks to reach the Engine Room, with Mr. Puzzles hooked up to the Engine Core. After a battle against him, Meggy jumped into a tear inbetween that weird mound-like thing, getting sent into the mindscape with Mr. Puzzles' inner child, which he was fearful of Meggy. She played nice, turning into Leggy and whimsically asking to be Kid Puzzles' friend, to which he enthusiastically agreed. This connection made the engine room collapse entirely. As the SMG4 were left unharmed in the wreckage, Mr. Puzzles freed himself from under a stack of debris, stating that he's learned a valuable lesson today, and has changed for the better— Of course, before being punched in the face by Mario and having his screen shattered and being flung back behind him, and then having SMG4 call the police on him for all of his crimes.
