SuperRhys217

''This article describes the mascot of the Shyrx channel as a character, and has little information about the channel. If you're looking for more information about the channel, see Shyrx.''

SuperRhys217, also known as SR217 or Rhys for short, is the central protagonist and owner of the timeline. He first appeared in 2013 along with Shyrx's YouTube channel, and since then has appeared in nearly every single video on the channel.

Appearance
SuperRhys217 is structurally similar to Mario in appearance, with the main difference being his color scheme. SR217 supports a blue shirt and cap, green overalls, golden gloves, and red shoes. He also had black hair up until World Traveler 64, where, as noted by Luigi, it was changed to brown for unknown reasons.

SuperRhys217's old appearance was much brighter than his current appearance, and has little shading. It wasn't until Blooper 7, Zombies, that Rhys obtained his modern clothing. Another thing to note is that sometimes in the older videos, SR217 wore black overalls instead of green. This is due to Shyrx (then known as just Rhys) not having a full grasp on green screening at that time.

SuperRhys217 also has a couple sprite versions, most notably the Superstar Saga version, which also went through a revision in mid-2018. His SS sprites originally had a darker shirt and cap, as well as more worn-out looking gloves. The revision made the cap and shirt brighter, and also colored the gloves so they appeared to be more orange. In both versions though, his hair appears brown, unlike his usual Super Mario 64 appearance.

Personality
SuperRhys217 has had no truly defined personality since he was introduced, as he was always depicted as "the hero" and not much else. In some videos, he is shown to be slightly ignorant and careless, though this is just due to him messing around. Despite this, SR217 is very passionate about his own YouTube channel, and likes to focus on it all the time.

In modern times, SuperRhys217 has been depicted as being the smartest of the four main protagonists, often questioning the logic of others or their actions. He tends to be rather timid and lazy, but can get confrontational if he's annoyed. Besides all of that, SR217 is still described as being good-hearted.

In terms of his abilities, he has the powers of being able to fly, teleport, shoot energy beams, and also has access to other forms through power-ups, such as a Fire Flower. Speaking of forms, Rhys also had a berserk form at some point, named Star Rhys, as shown in Light into Dark, that activated once a Dark Angel killed the rest of his friends.

Since the timeline reset, however, SuperRhys217 has had no access to these abilities, and instead gained the use of a Keyblade in World Traveler 64. So far, Rhys has only properly shown special abilities with the weapon in non-canonical appearances, such as elemental spells and variations of Strike Raid.

Mario
SuperRhys217 is very close friends with Mario, and even seems to see him as a guardian of sort, especially before the reboot. The two of them don't interact too often with SR217's more reserved personality, however it is clear that they care for each other.

Luigi
Luigi is friends with Rhys, though the two of them haven't interacted much outside of Mario is Missing.

UltraGamer8
UltraGamer8 is SuperRhys217's brother, though the two have interacted very little over the course of the channel. SR217 made it clear himself that UltraGamer8 is rather annoying to him in Brotherly Things.

SuperBhys712
Bhys is SR217's self-proclaimed doppelganger, yet Rhys doesn't care for him whatsoever and sees him as a clichè. Before the reboot, SR217 saw SB712 as a rival or just disliked him because he was a villian.

Shyrx
After the timeline reset, SuperRhys217 became a fragment of Shyrx, the "original" Rhys.

Story/History
While SuperRhys217's first canonical appearance was in the first Super Mario 64 Bloopers episode, he appeared earlier in a video titled "Super Mario 64 codes Part 1", which showed off his color code. He was simply named "Rhys" then.

Rhys made an appearance in nearly every single video afterward, starting with the Super Mario 64 Bloopers series. He wasn't able to speak until Blooper 2, The Endless Stairs, however.

In Blooper 6, Rhys was shown being able to fight, and in Blooper 7, he obtained his modern color code.

SuperRhys217 Generations
Being the titular character, he was the main focus of this series. After the Cannon Calamity 64 Collab, he met his past self, and after fighting off some Zombies, the two go meet Uatarlovegames, who reads them a letter from someone named Chrono. The letter tells them to go to the highest point in the world, which they assume to be Tall, Tall Mountain.

Once they get there, they end up having to fight off some Dark Angels with Jediwarriormike's help, and SuperRhys217's past self ends up learning how to teleport at the last second to avoid Darknar's laser blast. After the battle, Chrono appears and tells them about the timelines and how each YouTuber has one of their own. He then tells them that due to the past being overrun with Zombies, he brought the past SR217 into the future to protect him. The present Rhys decides that they should head back to the past to fight off the Zombies.

Chrono sends the SR217s off with Mario and Luigi. They go through a portal and emerge at the past Peach's Castle, with Zombies patrolling every corner of it. The group notices a big light coming from the top floor window, and the SR217s decide to investigate it. After a great battle, the duo head up into the castle and discover that the light was coming from SuperBhys712, who was summoning a being that could possibly rewrite the whole timeline.

The present SuperRhys217 and Bhys fight each other, however SB712 ends up victorious. The past Rhys tries to sneak attack Bhys, but nearly ends up getting killed himself. Bhys got interrupted by the summoner, which was nearing it's completion. All the past Rhys could do was watch in horror as this being emerged. Bhys tried to get it to rewrite the timeline, but the being only existed to destroy timelines, so it then kills SuperBhys712, and then begins to eliminate the timeline. It engulfed the SuperRhys217s, and then a great big light engulfed the dark sphere itself.

Pre-Super Mario 64 Bloopers
SuperRhys217 is born as a fragment of the shattered original Rhys, known as Shyrx. He, at some point, arrived at the Mushroom Kingdom and moves into Peach's castle.

SR217 is walking through a field when suddenly a person walks up to him. The person, named UltraGamer8, tells him that they are his long-lost brother, to which SR217 believes without question.

Super Mario 64 Bloopers
SuperRhys217 wakes up in his room without a single memory of what happened in Generations. He then remembers what he wanted to do before he fell asleep: to go look for Mario to start the Super Mario 64 Bloopers reboot.

Some time afterwards, SR217 is reintroduced to SuperBhys712, his doppelganger. UltraGamer8, SR217's brother, eventually moves into the castle with him.

Corrupt
Sometime after season 1 of Super Mario 64 Bloopers, SR217 is seen unconscious in Whomp's Fortress, where he then gets up and starts heading up the fortress. During this, a mysterious voice is talking to him, beckoning for him to climb up. Once he does reach the top, he comes face-to-face with an odd purple creature with white eyes. SuperRhys217 then tries to run away, but the creature almost immediately catches him.

Eventually, SR217 reawakens within his subconscious mind, where he hears that voice again. The voice, Shyrx, then reveals to him that Shyrx is the true, original Rhys, and that SuperRhys217, along with William Redgem and Star Featherpow, are actually pieces of his soul. His ultimate goal is to reclaim all of his pieces and put himself back together. SuperRhys217 doesn't agree to this, but Shyrx ignores this request.

World Traveler 64
SuperRhys217 is seen unconscious in front of the castle, with a mysterious figure looming over him. Suddenly, a white light engulfs the Mario lookalike, leaving the mysterious figure alone.

SR217 wakes up in a void, where a disembodied voice calls out to him. Confused as to why SuperRhys217 is there, the voice discovers a hidden power within him: a Keyblade. Rhys is then taken back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

M.U.G.E.N
SuperRhys217 has a character addon for the customizable fighting game engine, M.U.G.E.N. There are actually three different versions, with SuperRhys217 DX being the newest version. Note that while this M.U.G.E.N character was made by Shyrx himself, this is a non-canon depiction of the character.

First Version
The first version was released on October 10, 2015. It featured a lot of spammable moves, making this character rather overpowered. SuperRhys217 is also rather small too, making him difficult to hit.

Second Version
This version released on November 27, 2016. While SuperRhys217 looks the same as the previous version, small size and all, this version has Super Smash Bros. style controls, with new moves to fit the style.

Third Version
The latest version, known as SuperRhys217 DX, is a vastly improved version of the first version. The character is now double the size, moves are less spammable, and has plenty of new moves that replace the old ones. This character was updated three times since it released, and is now at version 2.0.0.
