Super Mario's Disturbing Analog Horror

[@Sunflower41XD]

Regarding the MKUltra comment I made, I know that the Ultra64 was the prototype name for the Nintendo 64. I wanted to make a small link between the coincidence of MKUltra's psychological themes and the psychological themes going on in SM64: Classified, and surrounding the myths & legends of Super Mario 64. I hope that clears things up. It doesn't seem like I got that point across very well in the video XD

[@justachesseburgerwithkectup]

Hello, this isn’t about the MKUltra but a theory with Jim’s seizure. When we found the dead Luigi in wet dry world we got a distorted thank you at the time 6:14 to 7:01 as we can hear as the video breaks down someone (it could be Mario) pleading or screaming to what looks like a wario head and giving the evidence of 8:07 it had a psychological impact on the person operating the TV making them do the test. This is important because that same psychological something could have what happened to Jim he saw something he wasn’t supposed to (like wario) and couldn’t process it and had a seizure. I liked your original idea but this could be something else to think about

[@Sonic.exe_uwu666]

Whattt

[@bruxinth4660]

The most unbelievable part of this whole story is how everybody involved speaks English instead of Japanese, as the game was still in development by Nintendo and would not be developed by programmers speaking English. The moment they added Jim and Bill, suspension of disbelief went out the window.

[@UsingGorillaLogic]

At least it means we can have a scuttlebug Jim Billie

[@acidwizzardbastard]

To be fair, one can imagine this is an alternative timeline of events where the game was largely developed in the West (likely UK because of the accents), similar to how Sonic 2 (I know, Sega, not Nintendo, but whatever) was developed in America. These videos posit that the personalization AI and the Wario Apparition are real, so it's not that much of a stretch.

[@bruxinth4660]

@@acidwizzardbastard I would have guessed Australia instead of UK, given proximity, but whatever. The whole distant relationship between the Aussie devs and Nintendo would have been far more believable had they been specialist developers for the AI integration into Super Mario 64 instead of the core game programmers. I mean, come on, it would have required but a little imagination to fix a plot point that sounds far too ludicrous. For one reason why, it requires the author to address the elephant in the room on why Nintendo, who hardly ever at this point in time contracted work outside Japan, suddenly decides to outsource their software development to foreigners who don’t speak their language and are thousands of miles away making project accountability a grave concern. No business does this and survives. This is something that cannot be ignored by the author and not addressing it made his story feel absurd just from a logistical point of view.

[@flamelmao69420]

@@bruxinth4660why are you so pressed dude??? It isn’t supposed to be believable 💀

[@bruxinth4660]

@@flamelmao69420 Suspension of disbelief is needed to make any horror story have the power to captive the viewer’s imagination. Capture the imagination of the audience and their minds will fill the blanks with ideas more terrible than any writer could conjure; therefore the true power of horror stories lies in inspiring terror to spring out of the audience’s own mind with mere suggestion. The moment you lose the suspension of disbelief or overuse horror cliches, the audience shuts out their imagination, having lost interest and hope that the story will intrigue them enough to give the story any real consideration. That’s what you don’t understand about great horror. The less that is told, and the more that is shown, the better. A great horror story is told through innuendo and through alarming, yet ambiguous warning signs that both the protagonists and the audience genuinely fail to understand at first, only to understand when it is possibly too late to save themselves. If the audience cannot put themselves in the protag’s shoes because of a ridiculous premise and cheap tricks, the story doesn’t scare anyone beyond the most simple minded. You don’t have to make it totally plausible and watertight, but you do have to make the audience say to themselves, “What if this were actually possible, given that the story isn’t too far off from the world I know?” Once they think that, you have the audience’s imagination, and then the point of the rest of the story is to show them why they better hope that the story isn’t possible in reality.

The dev teams being American in this series and in the Kirby analog series is funny, because Mario and Kirby are both so quintessentially Japanese that it makes me wonder if Nintendo is supposed to be an American company in the alternate universes these series take place in?

[@Agueybana1978]

Most likely, the creators and the voice actors don't know how to speak Japanese.

[@drbuni]

@@isolated_illust In this case, the 'realism' helps with the suspension of disbelief. We all know nothing of this is true, there are no cursed cartridges or sentient video game characters, but the story wants us to believe they do exist, and if the writer decided to go as far as include development people speaking, it'd be interesting if they spoke Japanese. The alternative is not having this bit as part of the story. Just playing the devil's advocate, really.

wee correction on the Ultra 64 bit, While I do like your connection between MK Ultra and ultra 64, the 64's beta/purposed name is 'Project Reality' and 'Ultra 64!'. Alot of alpha/Beta and cut content has been added to this analogue horror series and its a treat and a half including some known glitches and faffery. I also like the commercial touches since I used to have Nintendo power back in the day and got afew of those tapes of sony/sega goons just having a go at a nintendo employee. I can almost see a programmer who knows about sega's easteregg and having a jab at it as an added voice as a 'yeah our products are actually fun unlike yours hedgehog boy' before being dumped or removed. Even the conversation between the play tester dev's are pretty on par of normal dev's having to deal with remove/addition of random stuff heh. great video my man.

It could either be about Jim (his descent into madness after "killing" the AI by removing it from the retail game, but continuing to experiment with it on his own) or the AI Stanley itself since generating things for the game is torturing it and driving it mad

Or when you listen to distortion, it sounds like the lyrics: "When it grows bright, the particles start to Marvel having made it through the night Never they ponder, weather electric Calming if you look at it right!" Which could represent the AI finally: "making through the night" of being ya know, trapped in a little box that can't house it right/being tortured.

I really need to catch up on your content, you still make some damn good stuff on this platform

[@yeetyeeterson5444]

Always a good time waking up and watching a Sunflower vid before work, cheers man! 28:30 oh nah bro FUCK that

[@eggdogreal]

you know its a good analog horror when its starting off backwards long jumping in super mario 64

[@bradenmorgan4939]

I havn't been watching your videos for at least 3 year's, I come back and I see how far your channel and yourself has grown.

[@wanderingspider9273]

4:34 the first two text boxes are what he says in normal SM64. If you put them side by side, they're the exact same.

[@feduwtc]

this whole arg really hitted me at a point because of how i can identify with these feelings, i've recently lost my grandma, one of the persons i loved the most and was more attached to in all my life and im in the darkest moment of my life, not having her around is too hard and sometimes the pain is so strong that i just want to go and fade away too, like mario did cus he didn't want to deal with his pain anymore

[@drbuni]

I hope you're feeling a little bit better. Losing a loved one sucks so much. All the best.

[@jasperthedragonlover]

"The game played him." Damn that's hard

[@parttimelazy4593]

*Mash [SPACE] to run.* had me rushing to hit space to pause the video. That's a freaking good one.

[@NottemPortant]

Well I mean if you pause the video he cant get you either

[@idiotic_cisco8210]

i feel bad for the person yelling “ LUIGI!! NOOO, LUIGIIII AAAAAAA-“

[@Sonic.exe_uwu666]

NOT LUIGII!?

[@ItsBandu]

This video made me realize how much I love analog horror and horror in general, and the old 3D vibe it gave me with reminds me of Crow 64 that you should cover (if you didn’t already cover it)

[@jthablaidd]

I was still in school when the whole iceberg and sm64 do not research thing popped off Crazy how fast time flies

[@Ju1ceboxz]

I really like how the videos dates and events jump around like that, not in order. I think it’s really unique how the story requires you to piece everything together.

[@DAJTheYouTuber_2007]

52:50 according to Wowman, these "voices" doing Mario and Luigi is the souls of the personalized AI (and tbh i can see why)

[@leecoffill8425]

the Luigi quiz perfectly showcases what I hate abut analogue horror - specifically that even thoguh it has so much potential, that potential is almost always squandered on cheap "scares" and on-the-nose story telling.

[@banjofangirl3458]

I like the Luigi Quiz, personally

[@Agueybana1978]

The Luigi Quiz is ment to be making fun of Analog Horror

[@sheehan3204]

It's almost like thats exactly the point

[@Ifishbirds]

I feel like every person who played sm64 and saw the iceberg can agree that the story is creepy lol From the rom hacks like b3313 and other horror rom hacks To analog horror and legit nightmares I also recommend playing or watching someone playing b3313 since it is HORRYFYINGLY scary without any forced jumpscared. It has a lot of elements from the iceberg and horror rom hacks, i think it’s based on this series since it is focused on the internal plexus and the ai that we get to destroy

[@Fte1006]

6:56 interestingly, the audio used for that screaming is actually the screaming of a headcrab zombie from half life 2, specifically when one is set on fire, causing it to beg for mercy/death (if you reverse the audio)

[@007megaoof]

Shiver me timbers! Another "scary" video series about Mario. I'm trembling at the idea of a lost one being stuck in the body of Mario!

[@Json_1040]

59:54 After watching this entire breakdown, I now realize, *B3313 is based off of this entire series.*

[@Liath2]

I wonder if the rom-hack was created with this serie’s creator 🧐

[@seppy1287]

Bro you are DUMB as hell

[@Bulblorb]

It’s (B3313) not made by Greenio. It’s made by ChrisRLilo

[@Json_1040]

@@Bulblorb You are correct. I believe it’s the other way around. SM64: CLASSIFIED is based off of B3313, not B3313 being made in reference to SM64: CLASSIFIED.

[@minicrewmate7865]

So, what I think is: The personalization button turns on something that makes things ingame that would be impossible to code in a reasonable time, suddenly just *be*, or it's just like an on/off switch for myhouse.wad lorewise

[@someguydoingthings]

58:08 I am genuinely surprised about the audio at this part. What this is, is a distorted version of Miracle Musical's The Mind Electric Demo 1. Miracle Musical has been recently blowing up for their song Murders with the part that goes "all, for nothing at all". Basically, this means that the SM64 Classified team (or guy), found Miracle Musical, found out about their Hawaii: Part II: Part II mixtape (which is where all the demos come from), and thought that The Mind Electric Demo 1 fit perfectly for that scene.

[@makotohan166]

Jim: *says it’s a purple console* Sunflower: *he’s talking about the Virtual Boy* WHAT

[@sybils-butler-bentley]

You heard wrong. Jim said it's a PORTABLE console, not a purple one.

[@larsnyman2455]

First Bowser textbox at 5:00 looks like it says "Tough Luck, Mario! Princess Toadstool isn't here ...how the hell!!" I can't parse the rest of it.

[@Sonic.exe_uwu666]

BOWSER SWOREEE

[@darkcreepervideos]

It could also say “gwa ha ha” not “how the hell”

[@AschTB]

the funniest shit is that none of the devs in this speak in Japanese.

[@michaelfalcone7110]

13:04 “Ignorance is bliss” There was an album called “Nintendo: White Knuckle Scorin'.” This album was meant to teach children how to read. Despite it being related to Nintendo, only one song has anything to do with the Mario franchise. That song being… “Ignorance is Bliss”

[@elGuille_uy]

8:26 Nintendo Ultra 64 was actually the original name for the console, before it got changed to Nintendo 64

[@ThatGuyDarkLord]

Mario’s scream is nightmare inducing. Bone chilling. 6:56

[@EdenNeedsAYoutubeHandle]

And then HYPER REALISTIC BLOOD started pouring out of Luigi eyes! Ahhhh!!!

[@men_r_paul]

Reminded me of my dad at first (he had a 64) but then I felt bad about Stanly. And the cartoon clip with Mario and Luigi was sad to me, it's hard to explain how it felt but it was a bad feeling Might send this to my dad later

[@FleecyElf]

i love how you put silent hill music in the background. fits so well 👌🏻

[@NULL38473]

45:25 this looks like luigi is doing the spooky month dance (thats what i see)

[@raptordave]

Mario 64 always did seem unsettling to me. It seems so empty and quiet sometimes. Like a liminal space.

[@ki2the2nd]

The Ultra 64 has very little to do with MK Ultra I think. Those who are old enough, might remember that the name for the N64 used to be Nintendo Ultra 64 when it was in development. Nintendo later chose to shorten it to Nintendo 64 instead just months before launch.

[@thepolarphantasm2319]

Yeah, it was patterned after the NES/famicom -> super NES/super famicom -> ? pattern So you'd have regular nes, Super NES, Ultra NES (but everyone was super into putting the number of bits your console had in their name back then...)

[@St0rmGuy]

Hey Sunflower, one thing i must mention, the video where you destroy the core is not canon and infact, what could have been done if the guy who was playing made it onto the core in time. Its stated in Gearisko's video

[@DIVING_BELL]

58:17 The song melody sung here is The Mind Electric by Miracle Musical (I'm a huge fan of their songs so I recognized it instantly), I'm too dumb to see any parallels from the story of the song to this series, but I'm sure someone else can figure those out.
