Lily Alberta "Alb" Boris , better known as just Albert Boris, is a Swedish gaming and commentary YouTuber. They specialize in rankings, reviews, predictions and trailer discussions of Mario content. Their videos typically revolve around the Mario Kart series, and predictions, though they do content on other topics occasionally, such as Flash games, Sierra Entertainment or other Mario game series like Mario Party.
History[]
Albert Boris started their channel on September 2, 2018, with the intention of becoming a Nintendo YouTuber, doing rankings and reviews of Mario-related games. However it wasn't until January 2021, when she posted their first video themed around an official Mario game, an Anti Piracy cutscene for Mario Party 9 they created, as it was during this time a lot of people made fan-made Anti Piracy cutscenes for video games. After this, they made numerous shit posts of Mario content, from play-throughs of Mario games, to showcases of Mario Maker content he's made, etc.
In May 2021, they made their first vocal and ranking video, "Top 10 Mario Party DS Anti-Piracy Screens (Joey Perleoni)". However, it would take them another month when they did a video of "Predicting Mario Party Superstars" to gain popularity, shortly after they got 100 subscribers.
From August 12th to September 24th, they took a hiatus, stating they got bored with Youtube and went on to learn other languages. As of September 24th, they returned with the release of a new trailer for Mario Party Superstars. They have later stated that this was the biggest regret in their life, as it lead to a slower journey to one thousand subscribers with less views for his new videos.
On March 6, 2022, Nathaniel Bandy's channel got hacked, and Albert Boris made a speech, honoring him. A few days later, Nathaniel Bandy and Minus World reacted to this video, as part of a larger reaction of memes regarding the hijacking of Nathaniel Bandy's YouTube channel. Another video she reacted to was "I hacked Nathaniel Bandy" by the YouTuber dangerous Pig. The inside joke in Albert Boris' video was that it was their evil twin brother Bertil Auris who hacked Nathaniel Bandy, and dangerous Pig jokingly admitted himself to being Bertil Auris, he has since "Why Mario Kart DS is Kinda Bad..." portrayed Albert Boris' evil twin brother in skits as the voice actor, after the character's voice previously being Albert Boris but with a lower pitch. The in-universe explanation to this voice change is that Bertil Auris underwent a mouth surgery.
They got 1,000 subscribers on June 4th, 2022, and got monetized shortly after. Succeeding this, they had been consistently uploading weekly videos, with occasional monthly breaks. After their video "Predicting Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC", Albert has resurfaced in popularity, usually gaining over 5,000 views per video, eventually gaining 2,000 subscribers on November 26th, 2022. On December 18th, they've founded The Plus Void, a group of semi-smaller Mario Kart/Nintendo-related Youtubers who became relevant at the same time. So far, it includes them, Swiftjar, Tricky Nick, ZakPak, RyderKartDX, Deloof Teg Orb, KartLife, Shy Guy Kart, Qmina and dangous pig. The name is a play on Minus World.
Albert Boris gained notable attention in 2023, when they would come to predict three curveball courses to make an appearence in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass. Namely, DS Mario Circuit for Wave 4, and Wii Daisy Circuit and 3DS Rosalina's Ice World for Wave 6. This was also the year when their activity peaked on their channel, with views reaching over a million, their first video to get 100k views, and their subscriber count going from 2,800 up to 6,700. Since the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass ended, they took a short break, but since January 2024, they still post at least one video per month, still focused on Mario Kart.

Fixing Mario Party Boards[]

So far, he has only reviewed every board in the first Mario Party game, the video in which was split in two, because of the quantity in boards in the game. She hasn't done any videos in this series since, presumably because Mario Party lost relevance.

Hall of Nonsense[]
Here, Albert Boris uploads videos that don't fill any certain purpose. Their most viewed shitpost is an Anti Piracy cutscene for Mario Party 9, at 4K views.
Family[]
Albert Boris' has a lot of family members, whom make appeareances in his videos. According to lore, they are part of an extra-terrestrial species from Trappist-1e[1]called Gerbalticians, who live in Green Pipe City, a locale made up of green Mario pipes above the clouds in the Earth's stratosphere.
Bertil Auris[]
Bertil "Bert" Auris is Albert Boris' evil twin brother, as explained in his first video appearence, Mario Party Superstars Trailer Discussion. He is the central antagonist of the videos, and his colour scheme is a reverse of Albert Boris.
Bertil Auris, his evil twin brother.
He first made a short cameo in Albert Boris' reaction to Horror Land being confirmed for Mario Party Superstars. He has always tried to sabotage his more successful twin's content, going as far as stealing his mouth, the Letter A (for Albert). His backstory is unknown, but it is confirmed that Albert Boris once dumped him in Bob-Omb Factory. It is currently unknown why he hates Albert so much, but they have a lot of differing opinions on games, which may explain some of the rivalry.
Originally he was, behind the scenes, voiced by Albert Boris with a lower pitch. Starting from Why Mario Kart DS is Kinda Bad... (July 3rd, 2022), he is voiced by dangous pig, who is most known for making a video on him hijacking Nathaniel Bandy's YouTube channel. In-universe, it's also Bertil Auris who pulled the act, which makes for a coincidence. The in-universe explanation for the change in voice is that Bertil had a mouth surgery. Despite this, his voice regularly reverts back to his old at times, which is explained by him getting a cold.
Ci'ara Auris[]
Ci'ara Auris
Ci'ara Auris is the sister of Albert Boris. Unlike her brothers, she bears a blue/purple colour scheme. She first made three cameo appeareances, in Predicting Battle Stages for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, Predicting Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, and Why Mario Kart 7 is an Underrated Gem.
She was later the deuteragonist turned antagonist of Ranking Every Bowser's Castle in Mario Kart. She originally the cameraman for Albert Boris, giving suggestions to him on locations for filming. In said video, she wanted to film in a place that would suit the topic of the video. In reality, this was a cover-up for a scheme she and Bertil Auris prepared. She had purchased tickets for Tofta Beach (where Wave 2 had been announced when they were on vacation there), and the plan was for Albert to be reminded of the stress he endured, until he broke down and called the Mario Kart course Alpine Pass by its American name. The plan was botched when Albert caught them off-guard and fled. Since then, Ci'ara Auris hasn't been heard of..., yet.
Deltron Boris[]
Deltron Boris
Deltron Boris is the "good" brother of Albert Boris. His colour scheme is yellow and bears a mischeavous grin and high-pitched voice. His debut was in Predicting Battle Stages for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, where he was featured in one of the skits.
His first vocal appearence was in Predicting City Track Routes for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, where his name and relation to Albert was revealed. Not much is known about him other than this and his true allegiance remains unknown, as he sarcastically said "he totally won't betray Albert in the future". Since then, he mostly acts as a mediator between the brothers, when things get too heated.
Osbon Auboris[]
Osbon Auboris
Osbon Auboris, better known by his internet alias Osbers Gaming, was a Patreon supporter of Albert Boris between March to August in 2023. As part of the Tier he was subscribed to, and his long-tern dedication, he was allowed to be given his own Gerbaltic avatar, taking on a blue-red colour scheme. He made a minor cameo at the start of every Albert Boris video during said timeframe, and in Predicting Wave 6 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, he also made a vocal cameo at the very end. Since April 2024, he returned to supporting Albert Boris on Patreon, and made another vocal appearence in Ranking Every Course in Mario Kart 7.
