Crossing Eden
Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Pretty sure the file name in the game's code is called "Beyond Hell Valley" too. Stuff of nightmares...
There's something unsettling about this image

From Super Mario 64. The odd texturing on the walls, the red carpet that only leads to the frightening image of Bowser. It's some pretty freaky shit when you put into consideration that the floor is constantly moving and keeping you away from the painting (whoops referring to the endless stairs sorry. What do you think
it is pretty creepy, put a little fear in my heart each time I battled bowser.

I actually do find it unsettling. Reminds me of a salvia trip.
There's a ghostly figure that appears in level 4-4 of Super Mario 3D Land at the very end behind the flagpole, if you wait for long enough.

Same. Especially that bit where you fall down a hole in the well and wind up right next to a Redead.

I actually do remember this freaking me out as a kid. If i recall correctly at a distance its a portrait of Peach but as you get closer doesn't it transition into a picture of Bowser?
This looks straight out of LamePro circa 1996
Yeah its that early 3D shit. Its always unsettling, lol.
Thread justified!
O_OThere's a ghost in 3D Land, too.
I think I can postpone going to bed for another few hours
You will never look at Bowser the same way again!

Woah, what the hell?There's a ghost in 3D Land, too.
There's no way this and SMG's alien-shit is not intentional. What were they going for? It's weird how there's all this stuff and most of the time we don't even notice.
Way off topic, but it reminds me of that creepy ghost girl in Pokémon XY; mainly because it's creepy shit that you wouldn't expect to find there.

I never knew they had a name, thanks for this!
And agreed, they are unsettling.

That shot looks fine to me.
Well it looks kinda ugly and low resolution, but not unsettling. My brain is probably just too used to this perspective.

You want creepy, unsettling Nintendo stuff?

Gah! What was up with that scene?? Is that ever explained?
I was so happy playing Pokémon X/Y. Then that happened.

I see your Luigi's Mansion and raise you something that's in the final product
Is this really in a Pokémon game?
Reminds me a lot of 999/VLR for whatever reasons; creepy shit.

I was about to ask what was so creepy about this image, but during my reply I realized the image is called luigi-suicide.jpg
From what I remember the shadow is supposed to look like Luigi hanging himself, although I could never quite see it. Although it is an interesting shadow bug.
If it is a bug...

This is . . . actually pretty creepy.
Galaxy 3 needs to be an open-world game where you're stuck on Shiverburn.

That game is nightmare fuel in general. Obviously there's this and stuff like the eel and the piano, but there's also just the way the levels float in creepy voids with creepy sky textures. Who or WHAT lives/lived in that town?

The real name for it is "The One-point perspective shot." Kubrick Shot is a colloquial term for it, because it was his signature shot.
Wow, seeing those skyboxes as images out of game context is really cool.
I remember Big Boo's Haunt always scaring me when I looked out of the cage, partially because of the atmosphere of the level, but also the impenetrable blackness of the forest around you. I always wondered how on earth Mario would get home if he got stuck there. It would be damn near impossible to get out. Yeesh.

Always found this guy creepy...
Actually looking back Kakariko Village is full of creepiness. Shadow Temple, graveyard, the eye of truth dungeon as a kid down the well, the Skulluta house and the split personality of the rain song guy was creepy as hell. Screw living in that town.

It loses something without the horrifying music, though:

Pure. Goddamn. Nightmare fuel. As a kid, I began suffering from reoccurring sleep paralysis juuuuust before I found this image. The "face" I kept seeing looked JUST like that. I seriously had trouble sleeping for over a year because of all this.
The kicker? The message translates into "Enjoy Infinitely, Sega Enterprises, Majin (Masato)"
Yeah, I "enjoyed" that for a long while.

Seriously, what the fuck??

Yeah, the game's pretty low-fi, so the creepy/mysterious vibe isn't as evident as it would be in higher fidelity. I imagine an HD current gen version of Super Mario 64 would look like the CG renders from around the time of the game's release
The relative realism creates a surreal feel.

how's this?
This, I like. Should have been in the final product!

Most people (myself included) regularly take for granted just how fucking bizzaro Nintendo's products are. Mario is ingrained into pop culture so we take it for granted, and the joke that Nintendo devs do a ton of drugs while making their games is so trite at this point... but seriously, there is no way they don't do a ton of drugs. Almost every game they make has some sort of freaky or tripped out element to it.
My first thought!
