On August 30th, 2020, Mariposa Extension Number released his first of what would go on to be three consequential extended plays, Guru. angel in bottle, the first track on the EP, is said to be the song that catalyzed the album's release. It is important to note that Guru was the only EP to make it onto both streaming and SoundCloud.
On September 3rd, 2020, Mariposa released the chop chop! and force fed an apple pie EP's to SoundCloud only.
The original tracklisting of the EP's has gotten distorted as time has passed. The only one that is accurate is Guru because of its subsequent release on streaming. The other tracklist inaccuracies can be chalked up to the short duration the music was available for listening and Isaac's extensive unreleased music catalog. Isaac alluded to wanting to release some of these tracks under his official artist name, explaining why Mariposa would end at some point. However, fans have speculated that his label prevented the project from continuing.
On September 11th, 2020, Vomit was released. This would go on to be the final release from Mariposa.
There is no set date for when Mariposa Extension Number's music ceased to exist on platforms. Still, considering the timeline of the release of Vomit, the final Instagram post, and the release of Isaac's official third EP, evil twin, late 2020 to early 2021 is a reasonable estimate.
