Mark originally joined YouTube as MickeyMario12345, where he started out making plush videos inspired by SuperMarioLogan and The Cute Mario Bros series at the age of 9. Out of inspiration from watching Super Mario 64 Machinima content made from YouTubers such as Megaman765 and MarioMario54321, Mark created his first SM64 Machinima; Mickey Visits Super Mario 64. The first episode made with Windows Live Movie Maker and posted in the MickeyMario12345 channel. He soon created the MickeyMario64 channel to make and host Super Mario 64 related content from then on. During his time as a machinimist, he has worked with a number of people, including TheSunglassesDude and MarioKing Jumpman (now named as Ponderman).

Super Mario 64 Bloopers[]
Taking inspiration from MarioMario54321 and SuperMarioGlitchy4, he made his first Super Mario 64 Blooper, Mario Breaks The Castle; based on MM54321's first blooper, Mario Jumps The Castle. The next four bloopers, Football Kicks, The 2014 Halloween Special, Nightmare Fuel, and The New GlassesDude, attempted to follow the same style as his inspirations. During this era, he worked with TheSunglassesDude, whom actually suggested said ideas. After the videos were made, the series suddenly went into a pause before being discontinued entirely.
Whatif64[]
The series was inspired by Minecraft YouTubers such as ExplodingTNT and Orepros, applied to Super Mario 64. The first video made with the series was Why Luigi is a Coward, which depicted a comedic origin of Luigi's cowardlyness. The following episode, CLONE YELLOW , was made due to another YouTuber having a similar color code. The latest episode, If Mario Joins YouTube Rangers depicts a continuation of the SMG4 episode SMG4 Joins the YTR. The episode is made after MickeyMario64 and MarioKing joined the YouTube Rangers back in 2016. Starman3 was also heavily involved in the production. Since MickeyMario64's retirement from machinima, the series was long discontinued.
