WanupDeShroom
WanupDeShroom is a 15 year old boy who lives in Chicago, Illinois who is a content creator who has a passion for graphic art, editing, music, video games and film. He first started out YouTube in 2016 making gaming videos with his school friends in the lines of channels like Game Grumps. He later decided to make content on his own and decided that plush videos were the best idea. He came up with names such as 1upMarioLife and 1upMarioWorld but later on decided on the name 1upMarioBros and created the channel on July 13, 2016. It was the channel he decided to grow and build fanbase with the use of his love for making plush videos.

One day, a man by the name of MarioPlushCrew (now known as Vepze) decided to comment on of one 1up's videos and wanted to call him. They did and they became great friends for the rest of that year in 2017 with other friends being Gabriel (TheJokeKeeper) and Yoshikins. He even met some people early 2017 who later on got to be close with him such as LemmyMaster and Toad Inc (now known as EscarGordo). During mid 2017, a man by the name of ThePurpleBandit asked 1up if he would join the plush movie content creating group, ThePlushPeople. He did and got to meet many new people who are still his friends to this day. These people include TPB, 224, LTI, Jack, Bobglob, TYB, Wack, MAL, etc.

2017-2018 - 1upMarioBros Era
1upMarioBros was a growing channel in 2017 as he got to meet many new friends and his fanbase was growing. He's made more than 2 discord servers for his fanbase but they were all deleted due to poor administration. In 2017, he got to meet two people, MegaBlueMario (now known as StarHeadStudios) and Dane Tyler which led him up to join MarioPlushGang, the most popular plush collaboration channel featuring some of the channels such as PlushyCam, TheSuperPlushyBros, Yoshizilla, etc. This really helped him grow and he got to be a pretty well known channel in the genre. However, one day 1up's friends decided to pull a move that would destroy MPG. They pulled a prank which was the profile picture change of a crude image of someone shitting and vomiting. There was also a new upload stating that they would quit and told the fans to go fuck themselves. On that same day, 1up logged on to the channel in the morning for fun. The admins saw that the person who uploaded the video was a mac owner so they assumed it was him, however he was framed and it was actually LemmyMaster. Josh cussed out and yelled at 1up from his anger of the channel prank even though it wasn't him. 1up was in a very dark place at the time, however his fans still supported him and believed the prank wasn't his action. LemmyMaster in the end didn't really get a punishment and stated out that "this was worst than 9/11", yes that was how she said it, using "worst" instead of "worse". Later on, Josh and the other admins apologized for what happened and would allow him to rejoin the channel, 1up declined however. This tragedy is known as 9/16.

Later in 2017, 1up decided to upload a Christmas video as his gift to his fans while he was able to take a vacation. However his Mac crashed and the video was lost forever, after working a month through the video, it was gone. However he got to deal with it and try to upload better content in 2018. His first video in 2018 was Road To Royalty and it took him a month to work on it due to the redoing of most of his house, it was a slow but fun process. That was also his first video to include his voice actor for Princess Peach, Skylar Tourai. Even to this day, that is his favorite video he's made due to the fun and unique plot, the huge variety of characters, different style of editing and the enjoyable process of producing it. After that, he went silent and took a long break throughout the middle of 2018. 2018 was the year of Super Smash Bros Ultimate hype so he decided to make a video based on his love for the franchise. It uploaded on Christmas day, December 25th of 2018. He sadly only made two videos that whole year but those are some of his favorite creations on the website.

2019-2020 - WanupDeShroom Era
2019 was definitely the experimental age of 1upMarioBros as it was the transition from 1upMarioBros to the new name WanupDeShroom. This happened due to the death of the plush genre and many leaving it. It made 1up even more unmotivated that year to make plush videos. He decided to to transition to WanupDeShroom as he realized 1upMarioBros wasn't a name that fit with his channel anymore. WanupDeShroom was set to be a phase where he just wanted to upload whatever he wanted. He made essays, joke videos, goofy dubbings of Spongebob Squarepants and more. Wanup even started his own podcast series where him and his friends talked about the most relevant topics, this was known as De Shroom Room Podcast. In after the original second episode, he realized that he needed felt the podcast was gonna be really inconsistent with all the people he met so he got Aiden L. to be his partner. However, Wanup felts like he was alienating his audience with the different content. It has been a hard time ever since he quit as he still doesn't know what he fully wants to do with the channel. He has been looking into gaming content with the similar style of Alpharad. He decided in early 2020 that he will be moving channels and making his first channel an archive for all the content it had, from the plush videos to the modern content. He felt like he wanted to start fresh and wanted to grow a new fanbase with similar interests to him.
