I think what this is trying to say is, in a different universe, video game characters have consciousness, but they must see something wrong in their world in order to unlock that consciousness, and the sheer fact that a video game, on the outside, looks like a fun adventure, but on the inside, is a nightmare-fueled prison is terrifying. And, if my theory is correct, than any video game in that universe, the main character (or a side character, enemy, etc.) can see what is wrong with their world and realize there is no escape. Over time, slowly realizing that they are being put in the same loop over and over again, to play through levels, kill enemies, get more supplies, get upgrades, over and over again. The sheer thought of that makes my blood run cold.

Dude, I totally understand how the "Anxiety of seeing the infinite void" works. Its unsettling as heck, and I don't ever want to think of it ever again.. I'm here for you.
It reminds me of this marble video game I played on xbox as a child. The sky box was really sunny and beautiful, except on the bottom where it was just this stormy void, it always unnerved me

For me it's not the fear of the endless void, it's the fear of not knowing what's out there. You know there's nothing but you feel like there is and that's what put's you on edge.
I agree with your sentiment. This reminds me of a particular aspect of human nature: the fear of the unknown. What does this have to do with anything, you may ask? Well, I believe it is a contributing factor to the fear some of us get from seemingly infinite spaces. As you've suggested, we don't know what may lie out in the horizon. Even though these seemingly endless voids probably have nothing of interest beyond what the human eye can see, we still feel as if there should be something waiting for us.

Oh yes... I am quite aware. Granted, it's expanding. If deep in space we found irrefutable evidence of a "corner" where reality just _ended,_ I would be profoundly disturbed by it.
@@Omori_1xI mean vision is already probably very subjective to humans/mammals/etc. so it's hard to know what anything truly _looks like._ I suspect that true nothing is not just an infinite blackness, but rather something so oblivious that even the notion of darkness does not exist.
This feels like a classic Valve Interloper video Interloper Your not supposed to be here It have a life of its own It lives beyond our consumption of thoughts It changes It reacts It wants you gone But you keep pushing forward
This legit might be scarier than anything you’ve covered on your channel The fact that theres just infinite marios, all stuck in the same box doing the same thing forever, is truly unsettling
Are you kidding me? You described the exact fear i had as a kid, when playing n64 games so effortlessly lmao. I feel kinda elated and stupid at the same time. Also, fuck banjoo kazooies shark in treasure trove cove. It was like a terrifying cherry on top of a heartattack ocean
The things that make me scared is that this rom hack is really different than the other. It's not about screamer or bloody things : all is about the atmosphere. The atmosphere maked me uncomfortable, I turn my phone many times because of it I freaking love this idea of rom hack, people should do more rom hack like that
Ima attempt explain what i think is happening here Mario, one day for some unknown reason, realized the infinite nature of the skybox and wanted to see what was beyond that infinity After prying around, throughout this playthrough After heading up to the back of the castle and seeing the world completely cut off, he realized he was in a game, mario wanted out, he wanted out of the box, and somehow, he saw outsude of it and saw what we see in the end, other worlds, exactly the same I believe these to be other save files, other games, each with their own mario, marios that have been through this exact same thing Clearly mirrors have some importance, and i believe the mirrors let mario see glimpses into these other worlds, and he usually sees marios hanging themselves This is where i believe the wolf skull comes in My theories are either that it was the first mario that broke free, due to it wearing marios hat several times, or the more likely theory, that wolf skull is part of the game, a sort of anti virus protection system, meant to stop the marios from breaking free The marios can only see the skull when they break free, because its outside of the world And i believe when the marios see outside of their world, theyre able to see this skull, and seeing this skull causes them to hang themselves Notice how our mario never looks directly at the skull except for 1 time, at the snowmans land painting, and immediately after seeing it, that mario hangs itself I believe the mario after that point to be a new one, possibly one that remembers the "last playthrough," where it saw the skull and hung itself This mario somehow remembers, and never looks at the wolf skull, knowing what will happen if he does This wasnt supposed to happen, its a glitch, thats why mario is glitching (when he turns blue or his model spazzes out) Now theres one more thing that caught my eye, marios voice Qhats interesting is theres 2 voices 1 deep and echoey voice, and 1 light voice very desynced from the other, a voice that sounds like marios official voice Now it seems cheep and im not saying this is the case, but its possible that theres some classic someone died and possessed a video game character shenanigans, with someone possessing this specific mario, the deep voice being his and the other voice being marios Its very likely that thats why this mario can remember Theres only 1 peice of evidence for this When mario dies in the fountain the deep voice says "nothing is reternal" but we dont hear the other lighter voice, qhich makes sense because mario is dead in the water This could be false but i just think it fits, theres just something about the voice that just stands out to me But thats my interpretation of this rom hack I may be very wrong but i may be very right This is just my theory of whats really going on, as ive not seen anyone else talk about whats really happening But if love to see your theories and opinions on if i was right or wrong in the replies 😊
@@theftking Mask is amazing! And yet... Something is nothing... But nothing is something... But how can nothing be something... And something be nothing... Nothing...
Or another drinking game, Take a shot every time Theft King plays the victim in a situation he caused or got involved in when he wasn't involved originally
Normal Mario 64 allready scared me as a child. That castle is so empty and kinda liminal. And the sacary level... Damn, I allmost couldn't even play it.Those eyeball enemies gave me chills, like they weren't supposed to be in the game, for me they differ from others
I had EXACTLY the same process and was genuinely and delightfully tricked and blown away. It was only after trying to look up the romhack and not finding it, then getting (somewhat) confirmation here in the comments that the realisation hit. Ahhh-MAY-zing.
@@myleswelnetz6700 i was gonna make a separate comment on this what if the skull is bowsers head. Since Mario and bowser were actually nice to each other like you said. When mario defeated him over and over again bowsers skull just appeared and keepd following mario because he misses him.
Imagine youre a game character and then you discover the out of bounds and then realise your life was a lie you dont exist and this world will never end and its expanding with emptiness
Yeah, I agree. It is really ironic that you're out here, telling multiple stories that will freak the average person, while you we're scared of the end of the world and Gruntilda. I don't blame you, I was scared too about those things.
"The one who succeeds in killing the Chainsaw will be me! The one and only Eternity Devil!" Honestly, the way Mario talks reminds me of the Eternity Devil as well
“Nuh uh, um actually you see that there are islands over there, and those islands contain other things out there that aren't a part of the storyline”☝️🤓
"Infinite prisons... and they're all exactly the same." Holy shit. I think the implication being made is that, everytime Mario dies, the result isn't the clock being rewound to before you entered the level so you can try again - it's Mario getting thrown out into a different universe where he hasn't died yet. Even getting a Game Over just returns you, the player, back to the menu; once you return to the game, nothing has changed. No matter how many times Mario dies, there's no escaping the Super Mario 64 multiverse. He's stuck there forever. That is some dark shit.
I just realized that in this Rom Hack whenever the game restarts, it’s meant to symbolize Mario k1ll1ng himself to escape the loop of the infinite void but it never works and you just… keep… RRRRRrestart…ing the game..A…Me
I'm curious about the use of a canine like skull and to what it means. If it is somehow related to some kind of entity or what that controls Marios reality.
I think is a deer skull, (even without the antlers the nose is very similar) it has some spiritual meaning life the cycle of death and rebirth, but is often associeted with the occult so i think theft king put it in there for shock value or because it was cool
@@DarkArtistKaiser quick update, apparently is a grey fox skull as theft said and it means mental awareness and seeing through deception so is more fitting than a deer skull, my bad
I remember hitting some bad product and next thing i know...my eyes are closed and im falling into a void...jus free falling...velocity is just increasing with no light in sight to mark your eventual impact...my heart was racing so fast...it felt so real...that slip from reality into that traumatic moment did open my eyes to snapping back out of it
omg thank you for the showing me what the fear was called i remember as a kid i glitched mario kart 64 so my character drove through princess peach castle n was stuck in a purple pink void so i ran up to my 64 and unplugged the unholy abomination XD
ok so first, the song at the end is "Everyday is Exactly The Same" by Nine Inch Nails (way creepier here tho of course) 2nd, what is the skull? what animal does it belong to?
The camera locking creepiness reminds me of how it always bothered me in Ocarina of Time that certain areas had locked camera perspective. Then I learn years later that it's because you are standing in a blank greenscreen void with basic collision and a 2 dimensional photo suspended in the distance in front of the camera to give the illusion of you being in that space.
As you can clearly see, Peach’s castle is haunted not only by Bowser and Wario, but also by Bowser’s former apprentice, whose vengeful spirit stands firm in Mario’s way to each of the 120 stars, Bowser In The Sky, Queen Peach, and the cake she promised to bake for Mario.
so weird how people are hating on this, it’s weirdly unique and goes into the psychological torture of what it’s like to know your fate forever and not being able to do a damn thing about it, i also feel like the weird cut ins with the realistic graphics are like a cool perspective of trying to tell the player or the viewer that this is real to mario, this is his reality, and he has to just sit with it and unbearably suffer forever. hence the restarts of the game signifying mario’s attempt at suicide to get out of his hell. honestly i love it dude i hope he makes another one or whoever made this continues this genre or concept !

the term "infinite" is exaggerated by some, infinite but not quite. beyond is infinite but intended to be "not" infinite, when you look at a void of "nothing" there's something in there. when you look there's nothing, but in another way there's something. our mind cannot comprehend what's there and that terrifies us, the worst thing tho is knowing there's something there. sometimes the "void" is the "life without a life", that means that the life we know it has no life beyond it. as you look up in the sky you see a void, but beyond that void is something. and that something is nothing. "a life without a life"
Understanding the concepts of infinity, nothingness, and the void can be formidable due to their inherent complexity. However, one can approach these ideas from an alternative perspective to gain a deeper understanding: Infinity: Although the term "infinity" is often misused, rigorous mathematical and philosophical frameworks have provided precise definitions for it. These definitions serve as essential tools for comprehending concepts that transcend our immediate experience. Nothingness: According to modern physics, true "nothingness" may not actually exist. Seemingly empty space is pervaded by quantum fluctuations and fields, challenging our conventional notions of emptiness. Comprehension: While these concepts may be difficult to grasp intuitively, human understanding of the nature of the universe has made significant progress through scientific and mathematical endeavors. Our minds, albeit limited, have demonstrated remarkable adaptability in grasping abstract ideas. Life and meaning: The belief that life lacks meaning without continuation is a philosophical position rather than a universal truth. Many individuals find profound meaning in finite existence, emphasizing the quality and impact of life rather than its duration. The unknown: The vastness of the cosmos can be daunting; yet, it has also sparked curiosity, exploration, and scientific progress. Instead of being solely a source of fear, the unknown can also serve as a source of motivation and fascination.
The rabbit skull. The rabbit is commonly a timid creature, who runs away from danger. The rabbit skull symbolizes running from infinity, which is impossible. Running from infinity will get you nowhere and will feast on your life force until you are a husk of your former self. Once you have expended your life force, you will die, and feel the sweet embrace of infinity, the same thing you ran from. Infinity is nothing to be afraid of, as it is very forgiving. for one to embrace infinity, they will just need to acknowledge that there is no escape from it.

The scariest part about this is that it was *Lakitu* filming all of this… but… how was he not even terrified? I mean… Mario was having an existential crisis but Lakitu? He was… strangely calm. Another thing that feels weirder than scary, is that those skull creatures seem to be enormous flying creatures… and why did they keep following Mario…? Did they want something from him? If so what did they want from him? And how did Mario respawn so many times even after *dying* …? … This freaks me out

A few notes... the skull never served any purpose, it never had an origin, it never had a point to exist. The audio effects whenever Mario spoke were very cool, but they also had no reason to be there. You could argue it was the infinite voices of Mario speaking, but then why are all the voices different? He says at the end that the infinite worlds are the same. Finally, the hanged Marios gimmick felt as juvenile as Sonic exe, but at least _that_ had some kind of ending/payoff at the end when we come to realise that they were probably from those other realities and Mario's memory was somehow linked to all the other versions of himself.
The lingering shots were far too long and had me checking the video to make sure it was still playing in a couple of instances and took away any uneasiness it had built because I simply wondered when it was going to move on. The scenes... I don't know how they specifically knew to activate but a couple of times it looked like you needed to stand in very specific places for a little while and if that's the case, that's kind of bad because it means you're unlikely to find those specific scenes.

you do realize the earth is floating in an endless void called space.
Oh yes... I am quite aware. Granted, it's expanding.
If deep in space we found irrefutable evidence of a "corner" where reality just _ended,_ I would be profoundly disturbed by it.
@@theftkingwow, this is, quite.. interesting.
When you think about it, what DOES "nothing" look like?
@@Omori_1xI mean vision is already probably very subjective to humans/mammals/etc. so it's hard to know what anything truly _looks like._
I suspect that true nothing is not just an infinite blackness, but rather something so oblivious that even the notion of darkness does not exist.

This feels like a classic Valve Interloper video
Interloper

It lives beyond our consumption of thoughts
It changes
It reacts
It wants you gone
But you keep pushing forward
You saw interloper too! Interesting concept.
This legit might be scarier than anything you’ve covered on your channel
The fact that theres just infinite marios, all stuck in the same box doing the same thing forever, is truly unsettling

The things that make me scared is that this rom hack is really different than the other.

The atmosphere maked me uncomfortable, I turn my phone many times because of it

SO LONG GAY BOWSER
what the he-
i did lol
i noticed
Damn, even if it's a horror game, there's still gotta be atleast one or two jokes
Ima attempt explain what i think is happening here
Mario, one day for some unknown reason, realized the infinite nature of the skybox and wanted to see what was beyond that infinity
After prying around, throughout this playthrough
After heading up to the back of the castle and seeing the world completely cut off, he realized he was in a game, mario wanted out, he wanted out of the box, and somehow, he saw outsude of it and saw what we see in the end, other worlds, exactly the same
I believe these to be other save files, other games, each with their own mario, marios that have been through this exact same thing
Clearly mirrors have some importance, and i believe the mirrors let mario see glimpses into these other worlds, and he usually sees marios hanging themselves
This is where i believe the wolf skull comes in
My theories are either that it was the first mario that broke free, due to it wearing marios hat several times, or the more likely theory, that wolf skull is part of the game, a sort of anti virus protection system, meant to stop the marios from breaking free
The marios can only see the skull when they break free, because its outside of the world
And i believe when the marios see outside of their world, theyre able to see this skull, and seeing this skull causes them to hang themselves
Notice how our mario never looks directly at the skull except for 1 time, at the snowmans land painting, and immediately after seeing it, that mario hangs itself
I believe the mario after that point to be a new one, possibly one that remembers the "last playthrough," where it saw the skull and hung itself
This mario somehow remembers, and never looks at the wolf skull, knowing what will happen if he does
This wasnt supposed to happen, its a glitch, thats why mario is glitching (when he turns blue or his model spazzes out)
Now theres one more thing that caught my eye, marios voice
Qhats interesting is theres 2 voices
1 deep and echoey voice, and 1 light voice very desynced from the other, a voice that sounds like marios official voice
Now it seems cheep and im not saying this is the case, but its possible that theres some classic someone died and possessed a video game character shenanigans, with someone possessing this specific mario, the deep voice being his and the other voice being marios
Its very likely that thats why this mario can remember
Theres only 1 peice of evidence for this
When mario dies in the fountain the deep voice says "nothing is reternal" but we dont hear the other lighter voice, qhich makes sense because mario is dead in the water
This could be false but i just think it fits, theres just something about the voice that just stands out to me
But thats my interpretation of this rom hack
I may be very wrong but i may be very right
This is just my theory of whats really going on, as ive not seen anyone else talk about whats really happening
But if love to see your theories and opinions on if i was right or wrong in the replies 😊
I think there's a lot of good stuff here. Look up Mario 64 QPUs.
This is like MASK, uses blender to make high quality images, and mixes that with in-game and in-real-life stuff. And that makes an awesome experience.
I'm not familiar with MASK, but it sounds like I ought to be.

Normal Mario 64 allready scared me as a child. That castle is so empty and kinda liminal. And the sacary level... Damn, I allmost couldn't even play it.Those eyeball enemies gave me chills, like they weren't supposed to be in the game, for me they differ from others

Hang on....
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF HIS ANIMATIONS!!!
I think....
Yeah I thought this was real and I immediately look there is nothing behind the castle
I had EXACTLY the same process and was genuinely and delightfully tricked and blown away. It was only after trying to look up the romhack and not finding it, then getting (somewhat) confirmation here in the comments that the realisation hit. Ahhh-MAY-zing.

“Of Lord Bowser’s every apprentice, I was his favorite. You separated us, and for that, you shall pay.”
@@myleswelnetz6700 i was gonna make a separate comment on this what if the skull is bowsers head. Since Mario and bowser were actually nice to each other like you said. When mario defeated him over and over again bowsers skull just appeared and keepd following mario because he misses him.
I love the touch of using NIN's "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" at the end of the video.
It's not a Mario creepypasta without Nine Inch Nails.

Yeah, I agree. It is really ironic that you're out here, telling multiple stories that will freak the average person, while you we're scared of the end of the world and Gruntilda. I don't blame you, I was scared too about those things.
"The one who succeeds in killing the Chainsaw will be me! The one and only Eternity Devil!"
Honestly, the way Mario talks reminds me of the Eternity Devil as well

"Infinite prisons... and they're all exactly the same."
Holy shit. I think the implication being made is that, everytime Mario dies, the result isn't the clock being rewound to before you entered the level so you can try again - it's Mario getting thrown out into a different universe where he hasn't died yet. Even getting a Game Over just returns you, the player, back to the menu; once you return to the game, nothing has changed.
No matter how many times Mario dies, there's no escaping the Super Mario 64 multiverse. He's stuck there forever.
That is some dark shit.

I just realized that in this Rom Hack whenever the game restarts, it’s meant to symbolize Mario k1ll1ng himself to escape the loop of the infinite void but it never works and you just… keep… RRRRRrestart…ing the game..A…Me
(I think I’m not sure)
That’s actually a good theory tbh
I'm curious about the use of a canine like skull and to what it means. If it is somehow related to some kind of entity or what that controls Marios reality.
I think is a deer skull, (even without the antlers the nose is very similar) it has some spiritual meaning life the cycle of death and rebirth, but is often associeted with the occult so i think theft king put it in there for shock value or because it was cool
@@DarkArtistKaiser quick update, apparently is a grey fox skull as theft said and it means mental awareness and seeing through deception so is more fitting than a deer skull, my bad
Now put the ROM on an original cartridge and sell it at a garage sale to kids
Unfortunately it's a recomp; native PC port. I'm skeptical there's any way to run the TINBTC.exe file on actual hardware.
I remember hitting some bad product and next thing i know...my eyes are closed and im falling into a void...jus free falling...velocity is just increasing with no light in sight to mark your eventual impact...my heart was racing so fast...it felt so real...that slip from reality into that traumatic moment did open my eyes to snapping back out of it
new title for video Mario gets haunted by a gaster blaster from Undertale
you want to have a bad time? Wario show you bad time
thats the gaster blaster from ALTERTALE
This GENUINELY scared me, even seeing it during the day... Whoever made this hack did such a great job
It’s an animation
But the fact that the animations have shaders and realistic water is alot more nerve-racking. It feels like animations with RTX on.
lol when it glitches out, the animation gets more then Mario 64 is supposed to comprehend
omg thank you for the showing me what the fear was called i remember as a kid i glitched mario kart 64 so my character drove through princess peach castle n was stuck in a purple pink void so i ran up to my 64 and unplugged the unholy abomination XD
ok so first, the song at the end is "Everyday is Exactly The Same" by Nine Inch Nails (way creepier here tho of course)
2nd, what is the skull? what animal does it belong to?
It is probably a Canine skull.
Gray Fox.
Good catch on the song.
Yoshi mabye?
@@theftking why... A gray fox tho.
"i heard you goomba"
lmao omg i cant believe he went there😂
but whats up w/ the wolf skull, that feels outta left field
21:12, the Pharaoh’s curse🏜️
tysm for pointing it out
The only thing that scared me more than the infinite void that they was no forth wall, they didn’t break it their just was no forty wall
The camera locking creepiness reminds me of how it always bothered me in Ocarina of Time that certain areas had locked camera perspective. Then I learn years later that it's because you are standing in a blank greenscreen void with basic collision and a 2 dimensional photo suspended in the distance in front of the camera to give the illusion of you being in that space.
Yeah I remember coming to that exact realization as a kid.
When you’re playing mario 64 but mario and a giant gaster blaster in the background is haunting you.
these animations mid game really leave you with a chillingly surreal feeling.
When a video character is alone and gains consciousness:
As you can clearly see, Peach’s castle is haunted not only by Bowser and Wario, but also by Bowser’s former apprentice, whose vengeful spirit stands firm in Mario’s way to each of the 120 stars, Bowser In The Sky, Queen Peach, and the cake she promised to bake for Mario.
8:56 literally when Mario was in a tragic accident and he died bro, really just said why did all my stars go?😂😂
so weird how people are hating on this, it’s weirdly unique and goes into the psychological torture of what it’s like to know your fate forever and not being able to do a damn thing about it, i also feel like the weird cut ins with the realistic graphics are like a cool perspective of trying to tell the player or the viewer that this is real to mario, this is his reality, and he has to just sit with it and unbearably suffer forever. hence the restarts of the game signifying mario’s attempt at suicide to get out of his hell. honestly i love it dude i hope he makes another one or whoever made this continues this genre or concept !
Haters gonna hate; it's my most-successful original work.
@ it’s awesome bro

the term "infinite" is exaggerated by some, infinite but not quite.
beyond is infinite but intended to be "not" infinite, when you look at a void of "nothing" there's something in there.
when you look there's nothing, but in another way there's something.
our mind cannot comprehend what's there and that terrifies us, the worst thing tho is knowing there's something there.
sometimes the "void" is the "life without a life", that means that the life we know it has no life beyond it.
as you look up in the sky you see a void, but beyond that void is something.
and that something is nothing.
"a life without a life"
Understanding the concepts of infinity, nothingness, and the void can be formidable due to their inherent complexity. However, one can approach these ideas from an alternative perspective to gain a deeper understanding:
Infinity: Although the term "infinity" is often misused, rigorous mathematical and philosophical frameworks have provided precise definitions for it. These definitions serve as essential tools for comprehending concepts that transcend our immediate experience.
Nothingness: According to modern physics, true "nothingness" may not actually exist. Seemingly empty space is pervaded by quantum fluctuations and fields, challenging our conventional notions of emptiness.
Comprehension: While these concepts may be difficult to grasp intuitively, human understanding of the nature of the universe has made significant progress through scientific and mathematical endeavors. Our minds, albeit limited, have demonstrated remarkable adaptability in grasping abstract ideas.
Life and meaning: The belief that life lacks meaning without continuation is a philosophical position rather than a universal truth. Many individuals find profound meaning in finite existence, emphasizing the quality and impact of life rather than its duration.
The unknown: The vastness of the cosmos can be daunting; yet, it has also sparked curiosity, exploration, and scientific progress. Instead of being solely a source of fear, the unknown can also serve as a source of motivation and fascination.
Bro forgot that L was real and they rebuilt him.
I want to know what happens if you kill that lakitu enemy.
The rabbit skull. The rabbit is commonly a timid creature, who runs away from danger. The rabbit skull symbolizes running from infinity, which is impossible. Running from infinity will get you nowhere and will feast on your life force until you are a husk of your former self. Once you have expended your life force, you will die, and feel the sweet embrace of infinity, the same thing you ran from. Infinity is nothing to be afraid of, as it is very forgiving. for one to embrace infinity, they will just need to acknowledge that there is no escape from it.

There's something deeply artistic about this.
The scariest part about this is that it was *Lakitu* filming all of this… but… how was he not even terrified? I mean… Mario was having an existential crisis but Lakitu? He was… strangely calm. Another thing that feels weirder than scary, is that those skull creatures seem to be enormous flying creatures… and why did they keep following Mario…? Did they want something from him? If so what did they want from him?
And how did Mario respawn so many times even after *dying* …?
…
This freaks me out
He never respawned
There's infinite universes, which means infinite Mario's
Do NOT tell this guy about Gojo
I liked the idea of this, but the over use of the animal skull kinda made it less scary for me
