For some reason, I was waiting for one of those creepy cutaways where Mario would creepily dart his head towards the viewer right before the screen cuts to black.
I think it comes down to the music, sound effects, and lack of color on the background. If the star theme played played with a bomb-omb battlefield background, it would not be scary.
I can imagine any Disney bumper appearing after this. Say a feature program bumper featuring a still image of Donald Duck. This is definitely a trillion times more nightmarish than any other bumper, especially that fast fade-in and fade-out to pitch black, music, and WORSE: his face! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Looks like I'm not the only one who experienced watching this at the "cursed" time and honestly I just waited till the afternoon, It honestly creeped me out by the 7th second of the video...
@Tattle Boad seeing the game load, with bright colors and fun in mind, but instead of a Hello! from a floating mario head and a savefile screeen, a blank screen stares at you for a while, and behind it, a suction sound, and bowsers game over laygh, and then IT IS A SERIOUS CRIME TO COPY that would scare the shit out of anybody, and scar children for life.
This is how to do a creepy anti piracy screen. You don't make it overly "creepy" and threatening with hyper realistic blood eyes and text saying you'll die or something. You make it seem out of place, foreboding and dreadful, but most importantly? Subtle and quiet.
@@ej-jz5rc ikr it’s more like slasher then horror. I used to use gore as a fear tactic but instead it usually ended up being edgy. Doesn’t mean it’s bad to have gore in horror but it shouldn’t be used as a tactic and if it is it shouldn’t be the only one
@Caleb Hopkins Because it basically gives the player the full game, minus the ending. My view is that it would be better to either make the game extremely difficult (if not impossible) to complete, and/or to intentionally block off much of the game, whilst making it clear that there's more to it, thus encouraging a legal purchase.

@@jaysefgames1155 Using pirated games isn't a crime stupid. Just selling or distributing them A person can pop in any disc they want in their computer and it's no one else's business. If using pirated games was a crime then just end humanity already for copying other people's ideas
I love how they made this screen threatening even to adults. They’re the ones actually pirating the game. Then you have the children who innocently want to play the game and end up going through this trauma
@@vaati000 True, true. It's very realistic and well-made, if it weren't released around the same time as the Mario 64 iceberg craze then I would've believed it.
One day I watched someone get a anti piracy screen. I heard sirens outside and i got really scared but it was just a ambulance driving by. i almost had a heart attack lol
I seriously love these fake SM64 contents. As a kid I was really interested in game development histories and screens of what was almost in games I liked, but scrapped. This caters to my nostalgia fr
LiliMarco1 SWV has been like an awesome night with a good day of life in how do you even get a piracy sceen by making a cart dusty.. and will do you help you put your order on it tomorrow thanks for the email I will send them tomorrow and send you a new call
@@ramiabdalla2661 It probably isn't, considering that (if my translation is correct) the warning is referring to YOUR game copy. The copy that YOU own, prohibited by law.
And the Japanese text. Japanese words on a black screen of a television or computer monitor, if they are pixelated or accompanied with some unsettling imagery, I'd be shitting bricks.
I had this awful nightmare last night, when I was playing Super Mario 64, the message on the screen told me that copying Mario games is illegal and Mario came out of the T.V. and said you better not copy my games or Bowser will chase you down the castle halls.
Sounds hella creepy, but atleast it wasn‘t as merciless as my nightmares back then Maybe you remember the PS2 RSoD? Well in my nightmares, there were no real warnings no. Any TV I looked at turned on and played the startup leading to the RSoD. A hand came out and dragged me in, every freaking time, there was no escape. Funny enough, this still happens to me like 10 years later, but since I am able to lucid dream in a way it is not as powerful as it was back then.
Why does this seem comedic to me? It's just like "aww man, this wasn't the real game? Whoopsie doopsie!" Maybe I'm just not currently in a vulnerable mood.
Things like that tend to take away from the creepiness. You're expecting something to happen, and the suspense keeps building. It stays with you longer if there's no jumpscare. If they were to do that, it should have been something subtle, like Mario's eyes darting toward the camera at... hmm, 0:16, and staying like that to the end of the video.
This actually looks like something a child would actually see in his nightmares the bowser sound the game over theme sound slightly different a black screen with creepy text not to mention the bowser transition at the beginning of the error screen just gives me the chills
Since this is 1995-96, I wouldn't be suprised if it was originally called ビデオゲーム but just got shortened over time. Kinda like how in the mid 2000's people might refer to videos online as "video clips" or how ages ago people referred to TV as "television" but no one really uses that these days informally
Most anti piracy screens: hyper realistic blood and Death threats The right way to do it: make it not so creepy but out of place, and subtle and quiet.
It’s so funny how simple this one is, yet it gives me chills much more than the others do. I feel like it’s because of how realistic it is. There’s no jump scares, no creepy added music, etc. - Just a panicked looking Mario with serious words on the screen along with the game over music. Tbh if I came across this as a kid, it would creep me out WAY more than anything that was trying to purposefully be scary.
of all the fake anti-piracy screens that arose recently, this one is still my favorite. its not overtly creepy, or even that out of place. it channels the creepiness that actual real anti-piracy screens have without being like "you are a criminal who pirates games & btw luigi is bleeding to death". i lliek it
Mario looks like he just got scammed at the local flea market

i love how it's spooky without being haunted.
just vaguely threatening

I think it comes down to the music, sound effects, and lack of color on the background. If the star theme played played with a bomb-omb battlefield background, it would not be scary.

"It's a serious crime to copy video games according to Copyright Law." is basically Nintendo's lawyers saying "Listen, fucker."
Seeing "serious crime" in a game like this sends chills.
I know right
yeah
creepypasta be like:
relatable
"Nintendo has called your local police department in order to send a Gamer Gestapo™ team to your residence, comply or die."

This was actually a fun fact, thanks for sharing
What was the nightmare?
Edit: I just saw you answered someone else who asked the same thing, carry on
Mario gets sentenced to prison on Delfino Isle for piracy.
F
A good anti piracy change to sunshine would be just trapping you in the prison cell.
He got arrested for playing his own game
@@jaysefgames1155 Using pirated games isn't a crime stupid. Just selling or distributing them
A person can pop in any disc they want in their computer and it's no one else's business. If using pirated games was a crime then just end humanity already for copying other people's ideas
I love how they made this screen threatening even to adults. They’re the ones actually pirating the game. Then you have the children who innocently want to play the game and end up going through this trauma
It's fake, bro.
@@Omar_E11 And holds such real, real terror.
@@vaati000 True, true. It's very realistic and well-made, if it weren't released around the same time as the Mario 64 iceberg craze then I would've believed it.
Imagine if a game called the police on you if it detects that you are pirating it.
UA-cam Azurill lol
One day I watched someone get a anti piracy screen. I heard sirens outside and i got really scared but it was just a ambulance driving by. i almost had a heart attack lol
I would fucking cry. These error screens by themselves scare me, so i can't imagine how much i'd be scared if they called the police.
Maybe in 2025 and it will use internet...
I feel like Anti piracy screens are made to literally scare you to teach you not to pirate games.
Its the only way to scare away the pirates!
Imagine if this was real lol you'd be like the first person to have found this
It is
@@stefan-x9g It isnt. You are not very intelligent.
@@DamianSlayr He's not stupid. He's doing something called playing along. Which is something you brainiacs can't discern. Ever hear or sarcasm too?

I seriously love these fake SM64 contents. As a kid I was really interested in game development histories and screens of what was almost in games I liked, but scrapped. This caters to my nostalgia fr
This is real
@@tex731 it isnt lmao
Read the description
LiliMarco1 SWV has been like an awesome night with a good day of life in how do you even get a piracy sceen by making a cart dusty.. and will do you help you put your order on it tomorrow thanks for the email I will send them tomorrow and send you a new call
@@squidiskool perhaps it blocked off one of the pins used for the anti-piracy check.
That mario looks like he bought a game and just found out it’s a bootleg.
oh my god. IT IS A N64 BOOTLEG CARTRIDGE YOU ACTUALLY ARE CORRECT
Is it super lard 65
yea his expression is priceless 😂
Mario's adoption papers and hes realizing hes adopted
El niño de Latinoamérica en su tiempo: Mamá, porque Mario no me deja jugar "Ronaldinho Soccer 64"
Ke wea xd
To translate what he said:
The Latin American boy in his time: Mom, because Mario won't let me play "Ronaldinho Soccer 64"
@@B0X_wav It's "why" not "because"
It actually translates to: The Latin American Kid in his time: Mom, why doesn't Mario let me play "Ronaldinho Soccer 64"
@@drifter493 I dunno. I copy pasted into Translate. Blame google, not me
*_The translation of the Japanese:_*
Copying video games is prohibited by law. For details, refer to the instruction manual.
Thank you! I was wondering what the Japanese text says.
Was scrollin for 10 years lookin for this
I thought it said "This video game copy is prohibited by law" ???
that’s so much less frightening than the english text
@@ramiabdalla2661 It probably isn't, considering that (if my translation is correct) the warning is referring to YOUR game copy. The copy that YOU own, prohibited by law.
If every copy of Super Mario 64 is personalized, not being able to play the game at all is probably the worst iteration.
It's not that scary when you read it in mario's voice, and think of it like mario just got scammed into buying a non-functional game.
Woah you’re right
i know its fake but if this ever existed, a mario voiceover would make it way less frightening
I got to try this
They really made this scary, the fact that they 1. Made a black void, to make this just creepy. 2. Add in that bowser laugh. 3. The rest of it.
And no goofy look on Mario either. His expression looks as if you're gonna get in trouble by doing something that was against the law.
good idea for anti piracy. Or just make the game really hard and literally impossible.
5 reasons why this anti-piracy screen is creepy. Bowser. Laugh. Game. Over. Sound.
@Caleb Hopkins basically saying "your game ended before it could even begin."
And the Japanese text. Japanese words on a black screen of a television or computer monitor, if they are pixelated or accompanied with some unsettling imagery, I'd be shitting bricks.
It's not really scary just this creepy sense of unease.
That's the point of it
I had this awful nightmare last night, when I was playing Super Mario 64, the message on the screen told me that copying Mario games is illegal and Mario came out of the T.V. and said you better not copy my games or Bowser will chase you down the castle halls.
Sounds hella creepy, but atleast it wasn‘t as merciless as my nightmares back then
Maybe you remember the PS2 RSoD? Well in my nightmares, there were no real warnings no. Any TV I looked at turned on and played the startup leading to the RSoD. A hand came out and dragged me in, every freaking time, there was no escape.
Funny enough, this still happens to me like 10 years later, but since I am able to lucid dream in a way it is not as powerful as it was back then.
@@Adeyum64 Whoa.
Wow geez that’s horrible
Should of been wario
Why does this seem comedic to me? It's just like "aww man, this wasn't the real game? Whoopsie doopsie!"
Maybe I'm just not currently in a vulnerable mood.
Mario looks at his semester results
Looks that way to me, too. But then again, I also found the Mad Piano funny.
AND THEN MARIO SUDDENLY TURNED TOWARDS THE VIEWER AND BLED HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD OUT OF HIS EYES-
Wtf
Im seeing creepy storys in the comment section
*deep inhale* ...calm down Danilo...calm down Danilo...they are all faking...
MARIO.RAR
Things like that tend to take away from the creepiness. You're expecting something to happen, and the suspense keeps building. It stays with you longer if there's no jumpscare. If they were to do that, it should have been something subtle, like Mario's eyes darting toward the camera at... hmm, 0:16, and staying like that to the end of the video.
This actually looks like something a child would actually see in his nightmares the bowser sound the game over theme sound slightly different a black screen with creepy text not to mention the bowser transition at the beginning of the error screen just gives me the chills
And mario...
e r r o r s c r e e n
channel theory time
if i saw this as a child I would bawl my eyes out
Really? I mean it's a pretty harmless screen. It's just Mario holding a fake N64 cart and looking confused about it
@@UltraEpicLeader10020 the game over sound is creepy
@@baconKingOldAccount the game over is creepy? To me it's just "Your ass has been kicked. Get up and fight back Mario!"
That cartridge literally got “tricked” into thinking that it’s a bootleg cartridge... LOL
This would actually be a good anti piracy prevention
It is
Blue y sus amigos Alderete But i isent even real (i know that i can’t spell but that is because i an Swedish :)
@tofumageツ
Ursäkta mig, vad försöker du säga?
"Please refer to your Nintendo game instruction booklet for farther information."
*But I pirated the game,* _I don't have one_
I think that's the point.
Actually Nintendo would suppose you copy the cartridge from somewhere else, perhaps an original copy borrowed by a friend(?)
Boom, paradox.
shh just call it their way of forcing you to buy a real one :) It's an AD
Bit of a nitpick, but ive not seen the term ビデオゲーム used. Its always just ゲーム by itself.
Kinda odd, yeah.
テレビゲーム Would have been more appropriate.
Every cartridge's Japanese is also personalized
5MadMovieMakers O dang
Since this is 1995-96, I wouldn't be suprised if it was originally called ビデオゲーム but just got shortened over time. Kinda like how in the mid 2000's people might refer to videos online as "video clips" or how ages ago people referred to TV as "television" but no one really uses that these days informally
Most anti piracy screens: hyper realistic blood and Death threats
The right way to do it: make it not so creepy but out of place, and subtle and quiet.
This would've scared me as a child because of the music and the fade and of Mario kinda sad or something. It's unsettling.
imaging if the “piracy detected” screens were replaced with rickrolls
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down
Ops wrong video
Then I would start pirating just so I can rick roll people
never gonna give you up using n64 audio sounds like a banger
Breaking news
Piracy rate rises to 100%
Or a WINDOWS XP EARRAPE??
I first thought Mario was holding a Piece of paper but I found out it’s a cartridge
same
Y̶o̶u̶ I got it mixed up
Now I keep thinking he’s holding paper ;-;
Lol
Same
It’s so funny how simple this one is, yet it gives me chills much more than the others do. I feel like it’s because of how realistic it is. There’s no jump scares, no creepy added music, etc. - Just a panicked looking Mario with serious words on the screen along with the game over music. Tbh if I came across this as a kid, it would creep me out WAY more than anything that was trying to purposefully be scary.
Ya know what would make this creepier?
*If Mario's eyes slowly creeped toward the viewer*
sure
@@lots_ofbobux896 it isnt real tho
that would ruin it
Nah, that would just make it generic
Now I really want that to happen.
"please refer to your nintendo game instruction booklet"
as if you would actually have one if you pirated the game
Well if you are the one copying the game, you'd certainly have the original game so you'll likely have the instruction booklet
That is for the off chance you get the error on a legit copy due to something in it being broken.
*enclosed instruction book
@@rockygiovinezza655 CHECK OUT THE ENCLOSED INSTRUCTION B O O K
Would be more eerie without the Bowser laugh
Or if the laugh was proceeded by silence
Or if there was no noise at all after mario says his iconic line
Victor Luigi no, that would be lame
the thing that makes this even creepier is that nothing happens afterwards. just complete silence.
"Please refer to your instruction manual for further instructions."
Whoever wrote that is savage.
oh wait
i just realized why that wouldn't work
@@rondalmcdondal4192 xD
Wait, but what if the game is a legit copy but the anti-pirate screen is a false alarm? Maybe the instructions could help in some way
@@arandomhashbrown3756 yeah I wonder what the instruction manual says about this how the hell did the game even know it's being pirated
@@btd6pro693 PERSONALIZATION! or something else that would explain this to way more sense
Mario on crash screen: *death*
Mario on Pirate Screen: Well darn.
*Mario looks like he's trying to decipher some code at the end of the junior jumble*
Yoshi committed tax fraud and now Mario is pirating video games and breaking copyright laws
Mario looks like he just landed on Boardwalk in Monopoly
Haha Mario, you-a have to pay me 3976 dollars Mario.
If this is in the actual game, and if it was more common, just imagine how many kids would be traumatized.
Mario: I'mma not mad, just-a disappointed.
And then Mario lets you play the game
And make you even more disturbed and feel guilty as a kid
of all the fake anti-piracy screens that arose recently, this one is still my favorite. its not overtly creepy, or even that out of place. it channels the creepiness that actual real anti-piracy screens have without being like "you are a criminal who pirates games & btw luigi is bleeding to death". i lliek it
I first thought they were real
It’s real
@@saybah. it’s not
