Gosh the sprite work... I cannot get over how good it is! thank you all for making this series

[@GreenIsMyPepper]

Now this is a good remake, you take ideas from future entries and give them links to earlier works while improving graphical fidelity, I'm glad one of my favorite works from this community is getting some remarkable improvements.

[@internetpawn3542]

God the way Wario struggled and screamed in pain (and maybe for help) while being taken over by the eye, sent chills down my spine. Great work my dude! Such a fantastic remake!

0:17 pause and look at wario

[@Chinarider1972]

We quite literally see him in the same position with eyes, so that is not a coincidence, he’s been getting possessed from the start of the video.

[@lethalinjection145]

Looking back on this, Wario's shaking along with his body being angled forward and the UI at the top at 3:09 disappearing implies whoever was playing this was digitized as well into Wario's body.

[@mrlemonade281]

So, Wario's hands "growing" are actually whoever the player was trying to go back to the real world , right?

[@lethalinjection145]

@@mrlemonade281that would be my best guess, though to me it looks more like he's trying to reach out, like it's symbolizing that he's trying to reach to the other side but not able to.

[@SpathiCaptainFwiffo]

Buggy had to insert the player into Wario's body because canonically he would absolutely destroy the thing

[@lolrus5555]

Huh... with this theory in mind, I'd wager that 2:43 is when the player gets digitized. Despite the lack of rainbow lights, it resembles the instance of digitization we saw in episode 7.

2:16 for a second I thought Wario just got a koopa shell absolutely _launched_ at his cranium

[@deact05]

3:12 GODDAMN SPRITES! No comments. Awesome work

[@BlueberryAnimationz]

Remake is absolutely fire. Also Wario went insane because he took too many Haribo gummy bears.

[@Superbloxen]

This video was so chilling to watch, when the gameplay looked fun for a second, then when I get slightly bored, WHAM! That creature... suddenly corrupts Wario, and things start to really change. This is a great remake, even better than the original!

Fun fact: This was the first ever analog horror series I have ever watched. I only used to watch the analysis of these types of series because I am often overwhelmed by the amount of loud noises.

3:47 While spiritually, flies have a positive meaning, in the Bible they represent everything bad. Some teachings suggest that flies were the descendant of the devil, and it doesn’t help their reputation that Beelzebub, a major demon formerly worshipped in Ekron as a god, is also named the ‘Lord of Flies’. According to some Biblical references, if flies follow you around it means you lack happiness in your life and it will continue to be so until the flies are gone or got rid of. Some say that flies following you around is a sign that you should repent your sins and work towards your redemption, otherwise everything will go wrong in your life.

[@tfg6420]

noticed that when possesed wario is downloading peach the downloaded doesnt appear and the game just closes instead, is it due to peach being more powerful than possesed wario or just a coincidence btw this series is godly

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

Now this is analog horror that's right up my alley! I'd honestly want to play this, if it was a real game!

[@Cypherbroski]

when i saw that possessed wario was struggling to download peach and then failed which then resulted in a shutdown im like, ''Makes sense since peach got taken over but also given help by an entity far powerful then wario's also explains why the game shut down'' but hang on if the ai wasnt downloaded how is she in the game???

[@EVgreenio]

The original still holds up, but this is just stright up better

[@Danyplaysboblox]

I remember someone made an metal sonic apperation and it’s based of wario apperation, and fun fact: the game was officially licensed by the power archives

[@thewolfleader500]

good quality remake

[@thatoneguy9983]

Shout out to Wario even after getting possessed by a freaky eyeball creature getting all the coins.

[@justruby2763]

fun fact: the title screen is actually somewhat accurate to the title screen to super mario world in 1989 when it was being built.

[@JudeEaley]

Y'know, horror aside I'd be fine with a romhack that used the movements from this video with Wario.

[@war1011]

From Wario still having his shoulder bash I wish 64 DS gave us the ability to speed up wario a bit by doing that since he was overall probably the least fun to play with

[@lumper338]

5:43 why the giygas music tho??!?!

[@RTB-x2f]

Interesting detail: The trees in the background have their leaves arranged like sad eyes. Not sure if that was intentional, but it looks creepy. Love it

[@patobuxas9446]

Very good remake 0)

[@A.nonymous-n1w]

Hearing Wario's screams of panic during the transformation made me honestly feel bad for the guy, more than any other character would. If Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad had transformed like that, I'd be like, "that was disturbing" and move on. But if you were to make the most cartoony anti-hero the world has ever seen make sounds like THAT? You know there's some messed up shit going on.

[@BlackHole-py6yd]

what's hilarious is that I think I accidentally clicked this instead of the original cause I wanted to rewatch it again, so when I saw the new stuff, and as the video implies the game itself upgrades itself up to date, I was kinda freaked out cause I thought it was the original video and it upgraded itself 🤣

[@ElitekidMu0]

3:48 I wonder what the symbolism of what the bugs represent or something of the sort.

[@memeguardianaxolotls4250]

Flies literally are possessed by demons. Often they swoop in front of your sight to try and steal thoughts the Holy Spirit gives you. On the opposite end of the spectrum butterflies are used by angels of God. That is why it says in the Word of God Beelzebub means lord of the flies.While spiritually, flies have a positive meaning, in the Bible they represent everything bad. Some teachings suggest that flies were the descendant of the devil, and it doesn’t help their reputation that Beelzebub, a major demon formerly worshipped in Ekron as a god, is also named the ‘Lord of Flies’.

[@shirleylewis571]

ok after looking at the old ones and this remake i got Questions: 1. have the characters themselves (mario, luigi, wario etc) always been concious but never able to move on their own or is that due to the appartion invading the game 2. obviously Wario was struggling, begging for help (poor guy) because the appartion was taking over his body (and it kinda looked like he took his eyeballs? i'm not sure) does this mean Wario is gone for good or is he still in there 3. was that bug grey stuff that came out of wario? is that stuff used to infect the rest of the worlds? 4. i notice in the desciption the playable characters (this time around) is mario, luigi, wario (which is weird), & princess toadstool... but no playable toad (like in the last one) what happened to him? is he not in this version or did the apparition get rid of him permenatly? 4.2 (this question is more for the old power star archive vids but) apparition wario only seemed to target mario, luigi, & toadstool... but never toad (until like the ending where he took toadstools corspe & power i think) why do they pose more of a threat (or get torutured the most) but never toad?

[@AwesomeGamer-om4hm]

Seeing some of Greenlight's posts, the protagonist Toad is still in the game.

@@AwesomeGamer-om4hm And also, thabks to the modern Trailers, Luigi is also the protagonist being that for now: Toad and Luigi are the only survivors of this Nightmare
