When Mario Turns Into Horror | Video Essay
6Mario is about as kid-friendly as video games can get; they’re fantastical adventures with exuberant art styles, infectious energy and joyous gameplay.
Super Mario 64 Horror
So what happens when Nintendo decides to get dark with the franchise and input elements that would be more at home in more mature titles?
Today, I want to take a look at moments in Mario games that could be considered horror game moments.
Some clarifications before we benign: I'm not looking at spin-offs like Paper Mario because that could fill a whole video on its own.
I'm also not looking at easter eggs like the ghost in 3D Land or the shadow people in Mario Galaxy 2.
I’m only looking at things Nintendo intended for everyone to see in mainline Super Mario platformers.
