Finding Creepy Things Hidden in Family Friendly Video Games (Iceberg Explained) Part 2

Welcome back to the channel! After about a month I decided to take it back to the last iceberg we took a look at to cover the rest of the entries! Today we are dissecting the iceberg located on icebergcharts.com known as Creepy Things in Family Friendly Video Games. Today we are taking a look at a few entries from each layer and covering the rest of the iceberg. Thanks for watching, and links to the iceberg itself and my iceberg playlist are below.

I seriously love this dude's style, his narration and humor are so nice to listen to in the background, I can't stop coming back to listen to his iceberg videos again and again.

[@Rdotmop]

The funny thing about the Drawn to Life section is that Mike isn't even the main character. He's literally an incredibly minor NPC in the first game who doesn't even show up until the final world of the first game and only serves as a source of comedy revolving around the fact that he is clearly a human that ended up in the world of weird furry creatures who don't know what a human is. Then in the sequel he's mostly just a supporting character until the reveal that he was actually dreaming the whole world, and even then from what I remember he still doesn't even contribute much to the plot after that as it's mostly the antagonist and another main character dealing with this revelation

[@xXBoykisserXx]

The Poptropica New Jersey Devil jumpscare scared me so bad as a kid I still have a deep fear of dark windows. Like the idea of something being on the other side of the glass is scarier to me than being in the same room as it.

[@maliamalora1734]

THIS. I remember watching my sister play this level and when he showed up in the window we both jumped and screamed 😭😭

[@iitsmeromii]

I USED TO LOVR CLANKER I always thought its fascinating how such a creepy dude is not an enemy, I thought he‘s oddly cute, rest in peace buddy

[@spiralgodking9877]

Clanker scared me as a kid, but he's actually a good guy.

[@chrislevack405]

You were Clanker's lover?

[@MikeVonwolkenstein]

The devs behind the ending of Drawn to life really said “Screw them kids, we about to turn this game ending into a M. Night film plot twist.” Closes thing to an irl version of those dark cartoon theories where the main character being in a coma 💀 Another banger video 🔥🔥

[@GirlPowerFlower]

One of the levels in the second world (?? one where you have to rescue some lost monkeys) of the sequel was so creepy. (Wii Game)

[@mtamer2943]

That's fifth cell for you. I remember one of the final levels of either Scribblenauts or Super Scribblenauts had a tip (like every level; 1 tip to solve the level) but it was like an existential nihilistic venting from the developer. Atleast for the young teen that I was back then when I played it to death. It did leave me a bit shocked back then.

[@SniperOnSunday]

31:24 Since it means "next", I've always assumed that this line was part of the original recording, and slipped past quality assurance so it never got cropped out.

[@MrKneeBeeYT]

yeah

[@someai3959]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that it was supposed to tell the guitar player to play the next chord.

[@Overglock]

The Defcon scale goes in reverse. Defcon 1 is the highest (nuclear war as you mentioned), while Defcon 5 is the lowest. Defcon 4 is slightly above normal readiness for war.

[@chrislevack405]

It bugs the hell out of me when people refer to a horrible situation as defcon 5

[@Rin_The_Pianist]

Glockenspiel is actually a german word and it's used to describe a couple of things, for example the sound a Bell makes on a cathedral, it's also used for a big music instrument thats on the sides of hystorical buildings that play songs on specific times via mechanics and bells....so the name does make pretty perfect sense!

[@ripleyandweeds1288]

You really didn't talk about why the clock from Epic Mickey is freaky. A: You're supposed to paint his face back on, but you can also use the paint thinner on him too, and you can essentially make this thing experience an acid attack. B: The music is a distorted version of the 'Its a Small World' song, complete with creepy children singing the lyrics.

[@inkii-y]

I was absolutely SCARED of the clock as a kid and I think about it every now and then... tbh I was kinda creeped out by that entire game but still thoroughly enjoyed it- just like the whole everything is run down and or abandoned, its past its golden days and simply forgotten and now everything is literally melting made sooo sad/creeped out (especially the robot enemies thay didnt have a skin) but the clock area just gave me the chills... though you can also heal him with the paint!

[@mr.monkey354]

The ingame version doesn't have the lyrics but it was supposed to during development.

[@TheKoopaTroop1985]

I played it before...

[@TerribleVA]

The best part of the Sega CD warning message is certain games have completely unique messages, I don't remember what game it was in particular but one of them had the main cast start acting angry surprised and confused about you putting them in a music machine.

[@michaelpopowich5095]

Actually that's a dreamcast game skies of Arcadia I believe

[@Moschel91]

Actually I might have forgotten about the existence of Drawn to Life if it wasn't for this ending. It's just one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my gaming history and one of the very few moments a piece of media made me cry. Absolutely blew my mind.

[@bjp4869]

To be clear, the SA-X isn’t just “as powerful as you” for most of the game. It’s as strong as you are when you have all power ups, which means for the majority of the game it’s infinitely more powerful than you. That’s part of what makes it terrifying, for most of your encounters with it there’s nothing you can do but hide, because once it sees you, you’re basically dead.

[@eggseed6543]

If I remember right, clanker was a normal shark that was kidnapped by grunchilda and turned into half shark half rusted robot to be used as a garbage disposal machine

[@chrislevack405]

Grunchilda... wow.

[@Iris-nw1xs]

The red eyes on the painting in the nintendo labo thing is really freaky. Everything else in there kinda has a cute art style. But the painting is just nightmare fuel lol

[@Save_Frog]

You have activated a suppressed memory with the Monster Ock chase omg. I actually had real nightmares about that.

[@RianzGoofy]

I would say the first and OG ending to Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter works better, as the patched ending kinda messed up the story in a way. Even though the original ending was dark as hell, it made sense since it put Mike in a coma, aka creating a whole new world within his head.

[@DrawnToast]

...and then that was all undone in the third game. Oh, well.

[@TheDarkChrysalis]

It did not

[@too_oden2199]

I'm so glad Rayman 2 got a mention, this game had such great ambience, even outside of the spooky level. The fact that the pirates have effectively enslaved all the fairies in the main story is pretty brutual lol

[@Slascoplerd-Sorasu]

19:43 A piece of info that might be relevant to this part of the entry: There are a type of Japanese Yokai (think something like folklore monsters) called "Daidarabocchi" which in Wikipedia are described as "colossal humanoids resembling bald priests (...) with pitch-black skin". It's possible that this is what inspired the giant shadows in the WarioWare minigame, but there's no way to know for sure if the same could be said for the Hell Valley Sky Trees. Also it's definitely not the ghost in 4-4 lol Great video! Love the little transitions between entries

[@JaxRetroGamer]

Why were they never localized

[@bewearstar9462]

​@JaxTheEpicAKATheEpicCarbuncle because anicent mythology can't really be localized anymore

[@Idkpleasejustletmechangeit]

@@JaxRetroGamer that's like asking why Greek mythology never got a localisation where they renamed Zeus to Peter.

[@AlexanderFromTheStarDimension]

23:46 I love that concept but it's baffling Disney allowed it in the game. That is, a real-life theme park attraction (that they own) essentially becoming sick of itself, and thus losing its mind and becoming hostile.

[@sekinui]

the original ending of drawn to life is awesome. experiencing it firsthand after putting tons of hours into the fun, bright, cutesy environments to be then hit with the extremely dark reality behind the scenes was an experience I'll never forget. although it did absolutely mess me up and give me trust issues where games were concerned as an unassuming 9 year old. lol

[@IsaacG97]

Wasn’t going to get up today. Then I saw a new Gambado upload. Thanks

[@Bacxaber]

29:30 So, to my understanding, the door was _supposed_ to lead into Lego Island 2 in a similar concept to the (also cut) game swap mechanic from Banjo Kazooie.

I was one of the kids who played the original version of Drawn To Life... :') I clearly remember crying in the bathroom

[@beththedarkmage3359]

Not only did I play the first Drawn to Life game in its original dark version, I played the second game and they doubled down on the dark themes and making the car crash canon. Oh, and it forces you to side with the bad guy because of this, stating the world must be deleted so Mike can wake up. It's implied that if the main characters were more selfish and held on to their lives, this real kid would die in his sleep. Also the main characters, Joey and Mari, are based on the pet rabbits Mike (the boy in the coma) had, and it's not really addressed whether or not they survived the crash because they were definitely pictured in the car at the time and Mike is clearly using a fictional version of them as a coping mechanism. We do know that his sister and parents are alive, however. I haven't played the third game I've heard got released and I'm unsure if that changes anything.

[@aidanknasisk-rj5mu]

The entire plot of metroid fusion is that samus switches role with a metroid

[@balanceherosmt7170]

Yea, that was a pretty good twist to the games after spending three games hunting down Metroids.

[@walnzell9328]

The original ending of Drawn to Life the Next Chapter is the parents dying in a car crash, the boy going into a coma, and having a dream based on some toys they got at a carnival. The entire story of the series was building up to this point. They knew they were gonna make a messed up reveal. The revised ending is not in line with any of the lore of the games at all.

[@Newline_Void]

Wondered why I had morning wood when I got up this morning. A new GambadoGaming video was up, much like something else.

Something that I’m really surprised isn’t on there is the Wilikin (living doll) ghost from Skylanders Giants. In the Wilikin Village level, in the respective village, there’s a house you can enter despite it not having an entrance arrow in front of it. Inside the house is the ghost of a little Wilikin girl dancing around some floating furniture.

[@maliamalora1734]

Hearing the paper mario sound and immediately recognizing it because of fnaf game theory was wild actually. It always freaked me out and it's from MARIO??

[@supersayainasriel6745]

The chanting in the fire temple isn't just random religious audio and wasn't removed for being just religious, but because Nintendo were facing massive backlash. It's known as the call to prayer, and comes with so many rules, one of which is that no other sounds may accompany it, ie music. To include the audio tract it as you did can be extremely offensive to the islamic faith. The decals on the sheild and anything gerudo were also islamic are were removed for the same reason. So it probably sounds unsettling because one low quality audio of the call to prayer and two the audio itself is sinful in it's existence

[@Temmie_gaming]

Thank you so much for doing the rest of it you made my evening

[@jasperraine6104]

The bone dragons honestly used to scare me more than the fish, though the fish was admittedly scary. Also the breath-y sounds in the map soundtrack for world 2 made me really scared because I thought the bone dragon was making that noise. Really weird noises in already spooky songs freaked me out a lot when I was younger and still get to me.

[@BluBerry3]

If you make a part three, please include the tentacles from chapter 3-2 in super paper Mario. When they first appear, they are always so menacing…

[@GirlPowerFlower]

There were a lot of creepy things in that game, including the underwater hands.

[@jayl5032]

Hey Gam. Got an idea for a video. You could cover video game rumors(big or small, whichever) that turned out to be true or false. I think it could be a neat and novel concept for a vid. Since you already included some in your previous videos, I have no doubt you could do this too. Thanks for the good times, Big G.

[@MsLoquendo20]

In my case, the "Chase section" of my nightmares was the third level of a shooter of submarines known as "In the hunt" as during such level, you get followed constantly by a gigantic golem monster, and the worst part is that in the end when you have to face it by throwing rocks on its face, which end up tearing his face open in a pretty graphic way.

[@MatheoZ14]

I watch the first part for 1+ month ago then I see the sequel came out 6 hours ago. Perfection.

[@mck6432]

god that jersey devil scared me so bad as a kid 😭

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

Calling Metroid "family friendly" is like calling Mario "gritty". Metroid is Nintendo's most mature IP by quite a wide margin. SA-X is far from the only scary thing in the series either. Super Metroid has the Wrecked Ship, with ghosts called "Covern" that spawn out of nowhere which look like they're made up of rotten heads, as well as Crocomire who gets his flesh melted off in acid and you get to see him dying in one of the worst ways possible quite graphically. Also in Fusion is Nightmare, a bioweapon made by the Federation with control over gravity and a face that slowly melts off as you kill it.

[@phancoom1087]

theres also the actual, clear gore in the title of super metroids title screen, or the constant indulgence into horror across the series

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

@@phancoom1087 Am I missing something? There are dead bodies with a bit of blood on them but I don't think that qualifies as "gore".

27:24 Theres actually a lot to be said about this. For one, the entire Sega CD disc has the soundtrack of whatever game its for, with track 1 being the game files. The error message is likely track 2, given the Dreamcast, another CD based Sega console, had this in the discs for the games. In fact, a lot of CD based consoles from the 90s and early 2000s were like this and similar things would happen if you were to play track 1. People have reported damaged CD Players as a result of this, but I havent seen any footage of the CD players being damaged as a result of people doing this

[@gracecleasby1944]

when I was really young, I always got so creeped out in super paper mario when you have to collect all the money for the lady and then she turns into a freaking daddy long legs and starts chasing you. The atmosphere and way she turns into a spider was just so unnerving to me.

[@KestrelDC]

SwankyBox found that the Mario ghost actually follows you throughout the game, not just that level. I guess that’s just the easiest instance to catch it in and that’s probably why it’s the one people know. Some of its appearances are really hard to catch, but knowing it’s there the whole game makes it even creepier. And don’t the parents die in the Drawn to Life ending? Or is that just something people have assumed?

My brother was the one who played Paper Mario (I would watch him play and help with some areas), and I remember the first time we got to the river Twygz. We were curious to see if we could jump into the water, and decided to go down. The change into *that* music along with the skeleton hands is something we'll never forget. Also, the clock boss in Epic Mickey gets a lot creepier when you decided to use thinner instead of painting, as you slowly dissolve his arms and face util he drops dead into the water. Then you use his remains as a step to continue.

[@y2jfan462]

I know it’s rated T, but since it was released during WWE’s most family-friendly era, I have to mention this. In WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011, there are a fair amount of spooky moments in the vs. Undertaker Road to WrestleMania story. However, most of it isn’t actually gonna scare anybody. That is, until the Druid Royal Rumble, which I still haven’t beaten to this day. Instead of the usual exciting and fast-paced gameplay, you have to fight off a hoard of The Undertaker’s druids in a slow match with eerie ambient noises in the background. Also, the backstage area is changed to be pretty creepy too. This spooked me a bit back in the day, not gonna lie.

[@KevLP]

Btw here a Fun Fact for LBP Karting: this Game was firstly meant to be a Sequel to ModNation Racers, another PS3 Exclusive Kart Racer that also has a Own Kart, Character and Track Builder. But then the Devs decided to turn it into the Game that we have today: Little Big Planet Karting.

I know this is an old video but I vividly remember beating drawn to life ds as a kid and the ending was so abrupt and jarring I still rememberber how upset I was. The upsetting part wasn't even the coma it was that all the people you met and helped and cared about were just gone in an instant and nothing you did for the town mattered because it was all fake. It was really disturbing to me when I was little idk

Part of what adds to the Monster Ock chase is just the general dire situation you find yourself in that just adds to the stress. You do have this basically unstoppable monster beh7nd you that kills you in one hit and has some of the most traumatizing voice lines for a family-friendly game, but you also have the fact that you are trying your best to escape a freakin' nuclear explosion, seemingly losing more andnmore hope every time you turn a corner, go up a level, run/swing down a long corridor, and see that you are STILL not done! XD

Metroid is not a "family friendly" series at all, it never has been. In super metroid there are literal dead scientists at the BEGINING OF THE GAME, there are also lots of other dead bodies on zebes. I wouldn't call dead humans a "family friendly" game.

[@elbraunis]

[@Idkpleasejustletmechangeit]

33:13 the original ending is better. The entire game is basically about the world ending. The villain decided to steal the world's colour or something and the hero needs to recolour it and at the end it's revealed that the villain just tried to save the world, but the hero does their thing anyway leading to the apocalypse and the kid waking up. The original ending kind of fits into these already weirdly dark themes and was also the writer's original vision for the story.

Speaking of Rayman, the Desert of the Knaaren level in Rayman 3 terrified me as a child. The game goes from comedic and light-hearted (although some parts aged really poorly) to a level filled with powerful, invincible enemies that say things like “brain, fresh brain” and “stick bamboo under his nails” while chasing Rayman.

As a Poptropica fan (my username comes from the account I’ve had since the 4th grade), I love the inclusion of the Jersey Devil because my god the way it happened to me was terrible. The laptop I was using lagged, as well as the sound freezing. So it suddenly flung my camera to the Jersey Devil in the window with the sound suddenly blaring. Ever since then, the Jersey Devil has been one of the most memorable cryptids for me (as well as one of my favorites).

Metroid Fusion might as well have it's own video From the beginning when Samus says after the X parasite attacks her, she says feels fear, the bounty hunter who killed multiple huge aliens, now feels fear The way the game reminds how weak you are The overall sound design and music of the game The way the game shows you a threat, then it causing damage indicating it's now free, then fighting the threat (e.g. SA-X, Nightmare, Serris-X, etc)

[@cjsayers3346]

The only redeeming factors on melee machiato is the swing speed and the reload magazine effect. The reload effect needs a buff, and they need to swith the multi PUNCH (3x hits) with multi MELEE. That way, the swords on citadel would become more viable. It would be a little specific to the melee weapon, the drill wont be drilling 3 people at a time with it's current animation. but the knife, bat or citadel sword could benefit from that kind of change

[@Windwalker88]

You are so funny bro, subbed!

[@woo6855]

If you make another video like this, I would vouch for the Grim Reaper in Grabbed by the Ghoulies. A lot of the characters scared me in that game (Hunchback and Medusa for sure 😫) as a kid but the grim reaper was the scariest based on presence. Certain levels had a timer and you had to do something like kill 30 bad guys in 2 minutes or the grim reaper would appear. Once he spawned, it was basically just a prolonged game over. You would only die if he touched you and so if the damn QTEs in that game didnt give me heart palpitations at 6, that grim reaper countdown DEFINITELY did.

SA-X is scary because you can't do jack to it for the whole game until the end, it is basically a full power Super Metroid Samus (the previous game in the timeline) while you have a lame ahh suit with Metroid DNA, making you weak to ice, which your previous suit was equipped with. It is also nice to see that SA-X's species are consumed by metroids (the species), so SA-X is the equivalent of a giving a zebra a power armor and let it hunt lions in vengance lmao.

Pretty sure the A6 chord thing was just left in from the audio guys forgetting to trim it off the end of the audio file- the guy saying 'next' in japanese might be the person recording indicating to move on to the next note to be recorded in the session.

The remake ending for Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter actually kinda sucks because the rest of the game hasn't also been changed to reflect its existence, such as half of Heather's face being covered in Shadow in Mike's dream world while in the real world she has bandages covering the same side of her face.

I would love to see a followup video if you get enough viewer submissions! Allow me to throw a few into the ring. I don't know how strict the definition of "family friendly" is, so I'm just gonna work under the assumption we mean "non-horror". Especially since that's the qualifier most of these "creepy things in ___ video games" type videos use. - Distance - Normally just a fun sci-fi speedrunning car-racing platforming game, but once you get to the adventure mode stage called Abyss? That shit goes into creepypasta territory. There's no good way to explain it through text besides just describing everything that happens beat by beat, so just look up a video and see for yourself. - Sonic Frontiers - I haven't even finished this game, but the game introduces a really weird enemy on the 4th island. It's a weird red gelatinous sac thing that traps Sonic inside of itself, and attempts to drown Sonic in... whatever the hell that fluid inside of it is. It catches you completely off guard, and the music cuts out once it catches you. Not super terrifying, but it really weirds me out. Creepier than some of the stuff on this iceberg, that's for sure! - Minecraft - A whole video about creepy stuff in games and no love for the Minecraft cave noises? Or the warden? Or even just the endermen? How about the jumpscare the game plays when you get close to an ocean monument? - A Hat in Time - Queen Vanessa's Manor. Just... Queen Vanessa's Manor. To quote the developers: "What's the point if you can't mentally scar kids?" Bonus points for the fact this happens in the chapter of the game where flirty sentient nooses tell you how pretty your neck is. Yes, that really happens. - Deep Rock Galactic - While the horror is definitely dulled if you're playing in co-op since you're probably in a call with friends or playing with people who already know how to fight it, I'd say the Nemesis is pretty disturbing on its own. In-universe, there's a mysterious rival mining company that's competing with yours for control of the planet and its resources, and you often encounter their automated security detail. Plausible deniability says that they're probably just for fending off the planet's hostile creatures and aren't MEANT to kill the dwarves your company sends. But the first time you encounter the Nemesis in a mission, you'll start hearing glitchy, garbled voicelines from other dwarves. Even if you're playing alone. So you get to spend the rest of the level prior to meeting it wondering which corner you'll have to round, or which cave system you'll need to mine into, before you encounter the monstrosity. And once you do, plausible deniability goes out the window. This thing was designed specifically to kill you and your friends. The fact that it's a rare encounter adds to the creepiness. I've played for 55 hours and encountered it a grand total of TWICE. - Epic Mickey - When you brought it up, I was expecting one of two things: The concept art that was made so outlandishly horrifying on purpose in order to anchor Disney's expectations for the project and make what the devs were ACTUALLY planning seem far more reasonable by comparison, or the fact it basically has an Undertale-style genocide route. I'm surprised it was neither.

The ghost figure in SML 4-4 in my opinion looks like a Kodama. A tree spirit in Japanese mythology. It looks like them and is fading in and out among the trees in the background of the level.

Geez, I wonder what happens if you try to play a tri-tone on that guitar game.

If you ever do a part 3, you should include the scrapped Arceus event from Pokemon HG/SS. It feels so out of place for a pokemon game, with the inclusion of real-life images and the weird, minimalistic music

31:18 Despite how sudden and unnerving it is, I heard it’s actually just some behind the scenes stuff that they forgot to edit out

22:11 no, that'd be Diamond and Pearl. You were able to find it in some random cave in those games.
