    The whole rom hack has this "neglected past" feel to it. Its something that falls apart as you try to go back and feel how good some memories felt. But as you go back to revisit your past, you begin to see many ugly things you never knew happened with your seemingly happy memories. Now, every time you revisit a memory, its slowly torn apart from the colorful world it once was into a decrepit, dark pit.
    Maybe your past was better off without you coming back to see it.

    • @13gamerbullet
      @13gamerbullet Рік тому +27

      That sends chills through me. Most of our memories are forged of belief and a lot of little mistakes that keep building up over time. It's like this is a metaphor. "There wasn't any butterflies. As a matter of fact, there wasn't any water at the time. The sky was dingy, and it was dark. What you didn't know was, while you were out having that strange "fun" adventure, there was a serial killer stalking you. You just so happened not to get far enough into obscurity for him to come after you." All of this wrapped up in a few mistaken details and a "Good Memory."
      I shudder to think what memories I have that are far more twisted than I recall...

All it does is set up atmosphere for the player, which, to me, is the scariest thing you could do in a horror game or movie. Building up to something that doesn’t happen is horrifying because you don’t know what to expect

(For the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men), Titus 2:11, (That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.), Titus 3:7. For we are all saved and all will go to Heaven forever by the Gospel of God in God's own faith in God’s own gospel. Good works do please God. Titus 2:7, (In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:). Titus 2:12 (Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;) All are going to Heaven by the gospel of God: Romans 3:25, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 2:9, Titus 2:11, Titus 3:7 And 1 Corinthians 15:1-4: The King James Bible.

    The part at the end where you get chased by M (The Black and White marios name is M Btw) is terrifying, the distant static, only being covered by marios noises is genuinely anxiety enducing, and the fact the map is massive so you dont know where M is coming from is genuinely terrifying, and the end where the textbox said: "everything is better off without you" made my heart sink.

    my theory is that the player of the game (in the lore) has some sort of condition/disease that causes their mind to decay, like alzheimer or dementia idk. considering the game is supossed to be "personalized to the liking of the player" since the player is rotting so is the game. The corrupted mario is supossed to represent the disease consuming and killing the player, and everything is better of without us. after all, the game doesnt have to corrupt itself anymore, it doesnt have anyone to personalize itself to.

    The "corrupted Mario" is normally supposed to start flying towards you when the timer reaches 0'00. The entity also emits a static sound so as it gets closer to you, the static gets louder and louder. It seems that it got stuck during your playthrough of the rom.

    I think I remember somewhere reading that the corrupted Mario or "M" is actually a representation of a bug that is "alive", it doesn't have a conscience, it just consumes more and more and more of the game, until nothing is left, and seeing as it uses a Mario model, it could be possible that the game, as a last resort, fixes the problem by bringing the bug to Mario's current location and let it delete Mario, which also deletes the bug, hence the "everything is better of without you" text, you the player are controlling Mario, destroying the world as a consequence of playing the game more and more, the more you play the more the bug consumes, you could have left to stop it from deleting and corrupting things but you didn't, you kept playing, and then it deleted you.

    I think everything being back in the end, only the player missing, represents a change in perspective from us to the world.
    We try to remember the stuff we did in the past, replaying our memories in our minds like we replay the same level over and over again but as time goes on we start missing details.
    When we are gone, the stuff we did didn't even matter, it's like we weren't even there to begin with. Things may have changed in your mind, but to the world it didn't matter.

      Repent and follow Jesus! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
      Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
      Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

    An interesting thing to note - the entity that attacks Mario is actually just a reskinned homing 1-up. When the homing 1-ups chase down Mario, they have a tendency to get stuck on walls if you get on the other side of one, or in this case, getting to a lower elevation than it will cause it to get 'glued' to the ground, resulting in the entity standing still up until approached and the jump allowing it to be free to chase once more.
    With efficient movement, it's also possible to reach the top of the mountain with plenty of time left, but nothing changes. You can also outrun the entity with efficient movement, though it won't do you much good.
    Lastly, if you reset the game after you enter the level but before the entity spawns, nothing will happen and re-entering just puts you back onto the 'leave' segment; if you reset at any point after the entity has spawned, you'll be taken to the end screen. Essentially, there's no winning once the entity appears.

    People may find that removing bits and pieces of a song is creepy, due to losing the familiarity of the song. We all can recognize the main theme and bob-omb battlefield by their melodies, the big bombastic part of the song that is usually the first thing you think of. Without it, we're left with the underlying bass and percussion, which sounds off since we're not used to hearing it that much.

    Finally a game that is actually scary. Please for the love of God stop the glitch effects though they completely ruin the experience

      That’s what this was design for. It’s for players who’s keeps trying to find glitches to cheat on the game without playing the mechanics when developers put countless hours into making the game.

    3:40 I believe it is the waterfall that has been missing, since it's noise is more likely than that plus in the ROM hack the waterfall after the "Something changed" scene dissapears somehow.
    Nice video and indeed, this ROM hack does have that kind of "eerie" feeling everytime something unnotisable is not there.

    kinda hated how it said “leave” because its invoking that it’s dangerous
    when the most dangerous thing is what you do not know, because if you knew it was dangerous, it was something familiar.
    but mysterious and unknowing is something unfamiliar, and thats what makes it scary

    I love rom hacks, especially of sm64. This game is so scary but nostalgic, and rom hacks/horror versions of nostalgic things make it way scarier

      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
