Mr. Puzzles // PUZZLEVISION ARC

Mr. Puzzles had a complex personality rooted in his strong ego and an expectancy for control. He loved attention and praise, evident from the name of his entertainment company, "Puzzlevision.” His huge obsession to achieve his dream for gaining fame and recognition from his works was the driving force for his manipulative and egotistical nature, as he had no problem manipulating those around him for his own gain and benefit, including the SMG4 crew, making them obsess over their objectives, and turning them into adversaries for his twisted shows. Despite the friendly demeanor he portrayed, Mr. Puzzles, in reality, had unstable mental tendencies and sociopathic traits, demonstrating a troubling lack of empathy and a talent for exploiting others for his benefit. For instance, he showed enjoyment in seeing Meggy tortured and becoming emotionally scarred by Oneshot Wren and took delight in SMG4's ability to "play an antagonist so well." His unstable mentality made him have severe breakdowns when something kept going wrong, and his temper reflected it, as seen in Mr. Puzzles' Incredible Game Show Spectacular! Physically, Mr. Puzzles is a tall and thin humanoid, with a gray 50s/60s television box head that is identical to his adware form, minus his face. His real face is a light gray static background with differently shaped eyes with his left eye being larger than his right eye along with a large grin taking up most of the lower half of his face. His teeth's colors, which are yellow, cyan, lime green, pink, red, and blue, are intended to resemble a TV ‘s color bars. Although his face is depicted as a screen, it is implied that his face is actually behind it as it remains intact even after the screen is shattered by Mario. The bottom edge of his head has the word "Puzzlevision" printed on it, which is an entertainment streaming service platform that he owns.

He also seems to have a black cable-like neck that connects to the back of his TV head, which bares similarity to what actual cables do with TVs. He wears a black bowler hat with a gray band on his head, with two TV antennas sticking out, though one is bent. He wears a grey vest with a white undershirt and a black bow tie, as well as white elongated four fingered rubber hose gloves and black and white dress sneakers. His pants are dark grey, with silver puzzle patterns, his pants also come with suspenders with grey puzzle pieces as buttons. His pants are also a tad bit short and thin black cable-like legs are visible if one looks closer.

He cycles through different facial expressions that appear on his screen, using the same colored grin, gray eyes, and eyebrows for majority of them and he is capable of showing random images on his screen to show expressions or project something. But when he is really upset or goes insane, he cycles through more eerie and creepy faces which represents his rage and frustration. These faces are more distinct than then the usual faces he displays and has different features than the normal ones. Face features include creepy looking eyes, unsettling grins and darker backgrounds. This is usually called Photoshop Mr. Puzzles or just the Insane face.
