Guessing this is what happen Luigi was killed by fawful which distraught Mario then with Mario distracted left Bowser body then Bowser was quickly taken out Fawful somehow took control of dark Bowser/the dark star power or ds just gave him a body allowing him to be one of his grunts Mario then eventually leaves Bowser body from the pipe outside peach castle hoping that he can still stop the dark star even if it by himself since both Bowser and Luigi is dead It way too much for him alone with what we see at the end is the dark storm ds released finally covering the entire kingdom Or what ds said that the entire kingdom will vanish

[@bloocrayonbox5346]

This was a fantastic retelling, it almost convinced me this was a real ROM and incident before the blood and gore started appearing. That's a very rare feeling with these types of creepypasta retake videos, so well done. Certain details I love are the fact there's a giant hole in Bowser's chest, implying the Dark Star and the parasitic Fawful literally tore apart Bowser from the inside to get out. How the cutscene has no actual animation, but rather fades from image to image to mimic how old DS-era cutscenes used to be shown with the technical limitations. Nearly everything about this is awesome and it's certainly a video I'll come to revisit when I need to be thoroughly spooked!

I just realized something about this video’s universe that I think is worth bringing up. While it’s stated it’s lost, it is very possible that some other people may also have downloaded this altered ROM (since Logan got it from a website) but never actually gotten this ending. Probably due to: A. They used Bros Attacks (a form of attack we don’t see Logan use), and were able to defeat the final boss before either bro fainted. B. Used save states to ensure neither bro could die So the question is, how long could it take before someone (in this universe) accidentally discovers that they have the same ROM Logan has? Still, great video man, keep it up!

[@RCT3Crashes100]

*So, from what I can gather (SPOILERS AHEAD):* This ROM hack represents an alternative, bad ending to _Bowser's Inside Story,_ one where Mario 'abandons' Luigi in an attempt to destroy Fawful and the Dark Star, even though Luigi had just saved his life by using the only 1-up the two had. Mario's abandonment of his brother is represented by the player losing control over Luigi late into the final battle. As a result, without Luigi's help, Mario is no longer able to win against Fawful. (EDIT: Per the comments below, I got this paragraph slightly the wrong way around - though this _looks_ like what happened, it turns out that Fawful had engineered the entire thing, and managed to make it look like Mario abandoned Luigi, when in fact, he had successfully pulled off a plan to kill Luigi when he was at his most vulnerable! *Fawful, you magnificent (and clever) bastard!* Everything that follows is Fawful’s successful effort to take control and further wear Mario down, blaming him for something he had no control over.) In the time skip that follows, Fawful kills Bowser, Peach, and virtually all of the inhabitants of Toad Town, keeping only a select few to use as his servants, and uses the Dark Star to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. By the time we catch up, the Dark Star is at full power, and will soon allow Fawful to take over the entire world. Mario awakens in the ruins of Peach's Castle, and finds everyone dead, save for Fawful's servants, who call him a 'Defect' due to him (supposedly) choosing to abandon his brother. As Mario ventures further into the castle, the servants block off side areas of the castle, forcing him into an ambush where they scold him for his actions - "A pale face... is a guilty face..." and use Mario's own hammer to smash his head in, killing him. In his dying moments, Mario is faced with the supposed reality of his failure, as Fawful appears before him, mocking him for having 'the specialness', likely a veiled insult based on the fact that, according to him, Mario so willingly abandoned Luigi, and doomed everyone. Fawful says that he 'has it [the specialness] too'. This interestingly echoes Fawful's position in _Superstar Saga_ - while he was Cackletta's loyal servant, by the end of the game, he revealed that he had plans to mutiny and fight on his own, though he was defeated there before we could see what those plans would have entailed. Just as Fawful was planning to do all those years prior to the events of _Bowser's Inside Story,_ (according to Fawful and his servants) Mario abandoned the one he cared about the most, but unlike with Fawful, who now holds the entire world under his control, it went *horribly wrong.* The Dark Star finishes enshrouding the world in darkness, and Mario's soul is doomed to be Fawful's prisoner in his 'world of perfectness', _forever._ *Game Over.* *_Alone, are you? That is such badness... All you need is you... and Fawful._*

[@ZertyTV_Official]

Mario actually didn’t purposely abandon him, he basically had no control over what had happened and was basically mocked/tormented for something he didn’t actually do. The reason why Luigi wasn’t able to be controlled was because Fawful was trying to get rid of Mario first, but Luigi had interrupted that plan by reviving him, and so Fawful’s expression change (and the brief frame of him and Luigi in front of a black screen) was meant to show how Fawful wanted Luigi GONE, and essentially disabled his ability to be controlled despite the action commands being present. Whenever I get to making a behind the scenes video, I’ll have a segment where I talk about what’s happening in the story and stuff. Your comment is a pretty good guess overall though!

This is great and all but I wonder how the events of Bowser Jr.’s Journey are playing out. Since the final battle against the Best Fitness Friends takes place at the same time as the final battle between Bowser and Dark Bowser, Bowser Jr. and the rest of Bowser’s army beat the Best Fitness Friends just like in the original game. However when they look at Peach’s Castle, instead of seeing the darkness dissipate, the darkness remains. Bowser Jr. and the others wonder what is happening with Bowser and worried for their master’s safety, decide to make their way over to Peach’s Castle and help him. Along their journey, they come across many familiar faces, but now they are Fawful’s minions, with masks on their faces resembling his mug. When they reach Toad Town, Bowser Jr. and the others are horrified when they see the bodies of multiple Toads and even Peach. They continue on and see something that makes their hearts drop. The corpse of Bowser. The entire army stares on in shock, with Kamek saying he can’t believe it. Tears build up in Jr.’s eyes, with him reflecting on his journey, where he grew as a person and learned to respect the rest of Bowser’s minions. His mind wanders back to when he was on the beach, right after Morton was corrupted by the Best Fitness Friends. Before, he had eagerly awaited Bowser’s return to his castle, as he knew Bowser would have been proud of his son’s growth. But now… now he’s gone, and he will never know. Bowser Jr.’s sadness starts to fade, replaced with an intense feeling of rage. Without a word, Jr. charges into Peach’s Castle, seeking revenge on Fawful for what he’s done. Kamek yells for him to wait, with him and the rest of Bowser’s army following Jr. into the castle. Bowser Jr. is quickly noticed by the multiple fawfulized Toads, however he pays no attention to them, burning any that gets in his way to a crisp. Eventually Jr. comes across Mario’s dead body, and a realization comes over him. If Fawful was powerful enough to defeat Mario, than he must be incredibly powerful. Bowser Jr. snaps out of his rage, and the rest of Bowser’s army finally catches up to him, seeing the body of Mario. Everyone stares at the body of Mario, until Jr. says he’s had enough, picking up the hammer wedged into Mario’s head. He says he’s going to use it as a weapon against Fawful, to honor the fallen hero. Jr. and the rest of Bowser’s army reach the throne room, where Fawful is sitting on what was once Peach’s throne. “So, Fawful sees you have finally arrived…” “I’ll make you pay for what you did to Dad! I swear it!” “As if you could win. Your army is mighty, but it is nothing compared to the great army of Fawful!” “I’ll do whatever it takes to defeat you! TIME TO END THIS NOW!” Fawful materializes the rest of his army in the throne room. Bowser Jr. and the others look on at Fawful and his army, knowing this will be their toughest battle yet. (Stopped here because I have no idea where this story would go next)

To those that don't get the plot here I think it is from what I've gathered The story takes place in an alternate bad ending to the game sometime after the final battle with Fawful. During the final fight Fawful succeeds in murdering Luigi unable to defeat Fawful alone Mario is forced to retreat. Fawful then using the power of the Dark Star breaks free from Bowser's stomach by ripping through him completely killing him in the process. Bowser's corpse was then presumably thrown off the highest tower of the castle landing in the courtyard. Fawful then proceeded to murder any other form of resistance as any civilians were then treated to Fawfulization having masks forcefully grafted to their faces resembling Fawful's mug. But Fawful knew there was one last loose end to tie up. His one remaining nemesis. Mario. He had something special planned for him. Mario after his escape sees to his horror the deaths of his friends and even Bowser. Unable to cope with this he flees back into the castle though this would prove to be a big mistake. He's greeted with Fawfulized Toads all taunting and mocking Mario over Luigi's death as he makes his way to the meeting chamber to confront Fawful. Unfortunately Fawful planned this. A bunch of the brainwashed Toads follow Mario in a mob cornering him as one knocks Mario over and swipes his hammer from him mocking him that he's no hero. The Toad then delivers a final blow to Mario's head. Mario wakes up to find himself in his own personal Hell. A Hell of Fawful's creation. In this world there is only him and Fawful. Fawful now taking on a more demonic form probably due to the Dark Star makes his intentions clear. He doesn't merely intend to kill Mario. No he intends to kill Mario and trap his soul in this Hell so he could torment and mock him for all eternity. Fawful leaves Mario trapped in the void unable to do anything but accept his eternal suffering. The screen then fades back to the world of the living. Mario's decapitated body laying on the floor with the hammer wedged where his head once was. The last hero has fallen. Any remaining resistance has died. And now the true reign of Fawful has finally begun. There is no hope now for the kingdom. There is only Fawful. We then see the final moments of the kingdom as the darkness engulfs it signaling the final moments of the Mushroom Kingdom as Fawful now has reign to reshape it in his twisted image.

@RalseiDRsocoolWOW the creepypasta is not good

[@ashadgaming248]

Wow… I’m easily blown away by the sheer fact that someone actually made a Mario & Luigi Bowser’s inside story creepypasta but also doing a video about it too… This is seriously amazing and a really cool concept that I honestly had imagined myself being a thing and how cool that would be. I’m a huge fan of Mario and Luigi Bowser’s inside story and the whole lore behind the M&L series in general. Bowser’s inside story was the first M&L game I played in my childhood and I had played the other ones eventually. But yeah, I imagined at some point what it would be like having a bad alternative ending to the game and there are some pointers here in the video that match exactly how I imagined if Fawful won and the Dark Star spread it’s darkness around the entire kingdom. Toads being Fawfulized and the darkness slowly spreading until there is nothing left but black. That’s it, everything else has caught me off guard I love the dark themes/moments that happened here it’s perfect for the type of setting/direction this take on an alt ending for M&LBiS was going for. Btw, I’ll never see that fight with Fawful again without picturing that face he makes in this video. 😆😅 Seriously tho, great job on this! 😁👍

I've heard some KZbinrs fantasize about a player thinking they're downloading the regular game, only to discover it's B3313, Sonic.exe, or some other creepy romhack/fangame. This would certainly be horrific to experience unexpectedly, and I find it fascinating that this situation could be real. Regardless, I think that this romhack is neat. I only know of a small handful of BIS ROM-hacks, most of which pretty small. But learning that once upon a time there was a CREEPYPASTA romhack for this game is mind-blowing. It looks pretty well made too. I hope someday it's either rediscovered or rebuilt by another modder.

[@goinks]

i hadn’t ever heard of this creepypasta before so i was really impressed by it the part with bowser and the reveal of what happened to him has to be my favorite, as well as the depiction of fawful. i really like how he’s still pretty much the same guy but that actually WORKS in this context since he’s still super unsettling the atmosphere was really well done too, especially in the menus you guys all did a great job on this

[@c_x_3]

Ya know this was interesting because from the moment I saw the thumbnail something was familiar to me. Then as the game played out it continued being incredibly familiar to me and I couldn’t place why. Then Logan made the comment about his parents coming home with a gift and I got this weird, sinking feeling. Then I finished it and checked the description to learn it was adapted from “A_one, Are You?” and immediately it ALL made sense. I haven’t listened to that story in fucking YEARS but I remember adoring it. I should check it out again now.

[@CLTurtle]

The use of the ruined version of Peach’s castle on the bottom screen had quite an impact while watching, as it’s a constant reminder of what happened to Peach’s Castle in this ending Also during the part where Mario’s talking to Luigi again, I saw those initial images and was kinda giggling to myself due to being clearly fan made, but the second I saw Fawful, I felt my heart stop. I should clarify that while I think the drawings seem noticeably different from the Mario and Luigi art style (due to its shading and Luigi’s head being less ovally), by no means do I think it’s bad The song at the end being a remix of “The End” but in a minor key was a very clever, as I always associated that song with happy and celebratory thoughts, so to hear it again but all distorted just adds to the “Bad Ending” vibe very well Overall, great video! The eerie visuals and excellent sound design kept me feeling very disturbed throughout. Heck I almost thought this was real until I read the description lol. Keep up the great work!

[@Omsk-T]

"The Rupture of Time" It all started on a normal afternoon-or at least, that's what I thought. I decided to dust off my old Nintendo DS Lite and play Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time again. It had been one of my childhood favorites, and I knew it like the back of my hand. But something deep inside told me that this time would be different. When I booted up the game, the usual cheerful menu music greeted me, but something was off. The music sounded distorted, like someone had played it on a broken speaker, filled with strange echoes and reverb. I assumed it was just a minor glitch with the console, nothing to worry about. But what happened next made me question whether I was playing a regular Mario game. I started the adventure, and everything seemed normal: Mario, Luigi, and their baby counterparts traveling through time to stop the Shroob invasion. The story progressed like it always did, until I reached the battle with the Shroob Cactus. When I defeated it, instead of the usual victory message, the screen darkened for a moment, and a strange text appeared: "The echoes of time are crumbling. This is not your path." A chill ran down my spine. I tried to continue, but the game began behaving erratically. The music changed. Instead of the usual victory tune, there was a distorted, haunting version of "Final Requiem", with echoes that seemed to come from some distant, eerie place. The screen flickered, and when it came back on, I found myself in a completely new scene: Mario and Luigi, now adults, were in the middle of a heated argument with their baby counterparts. Baby Mario, with completely black eyes, glared at his adult self with suppressed rage and spoke in an unnaturally deep voice: "You should never have brought me here. This is all your fault." Baby Luigi, just as distorted, pointed at his adult counterpart and replied: "What you did was break time. You brought us into this place, forced us to live in a cycle that should never have been created. And now it's all falling apart!" Adult Mario tried to calm the situation, his voice shaking with disbelief. "This is absurd! We’re the same, just younger!" But Adult Luigi, with a tired expression, intervened: "No. It's not the same. We're trapped in an endless cycle, one that should have never existed. The rules of time cannot be broken without consequences." As the argument grew more intense, the babies began shouting. Every word that came from their mouths seemed to distort reality, as if they were echoes of a broken world. The screen started to flicker, and something in the game’s atmosphere shifted. Shadows grew longer, and the ground beneath the characters began to crack. It felt as if the very structure of Mario & Luigi's world was about to collapse. Baby Luigi began walking toward his adult self, his gaze filled with both fury and desperation, while Baby Mario did the same to his counterpart. The tension was palpable. The argument was no longer about time-it was a battle of wills. The two pairs of brothers faced off, and the screen briefly went black as their screams faded away. When the light returned, something had changed. The babies were no longer their usual selves. Their eyes, now entirely black, reflected an eerie darkness. The adults looked at them with horror, as if they were just now realizing they had done something irreversible. The babies, on the other hand, seemed more powerful than ever, as if they had absorbed something from the very fabric of time. "They betrayed us," said Baby Mario, his voice now deep and hollow. "You thought you could control it, but now it’s all lost." At that moment, the game took an unexpected turn. The Shroobs, the antagonists who were supposed to be defeated, now dominated Peach’s Castle. The screen flashed with rapid images: the Mushroom Kingdom in ruins, the stars extinguished, time zones fractured, and finally, the Shroobs standing victorious over the fallen heroes. The music was now completely distorted, reflecting the chaos. The screen split in two, showing the Shroobs celebrating their victory while the babies, now completely distorted, watched from a distance, satisfied. Adult Mario and Luigi, now fully aware that their attempt to change the course of time had been a mistake, looked at each other in despair. "There’s no turning back," said Adult Luigi, his voice breaking with the weight of the loss. "We broke everything." Suddenly, the game began showing a scene I couldn’t comprehend: the babies, now completely consumed by the shattered time, walked toward a massive door, while Adult Mario and Luigi tried to follow, but the doors slammed shut violently. The babies, now fully controlled by the Shroobs, were the true cause of the collapse. The final message appeared on the screen: "Time cannot hold with two crossed lines. One must be cut." Before I could react, the game froze. The console powered off completely, and when I tried to turn it back on, the title had changed: "Mario & Luigi: The End of Time." I never played that cartridge again. Sometimes, at night, I hear that distorted version of "Final Requiem", and I feel as though something is watching me from within the cartridge, waiting for me to make a move, waiting for the time paradox to unfold once more. --- This story could definitely be expanded. The pacing could be slower, with more tension building up around the argument between Mario and Luigi, leading to the collapse of the time loop. The emotional impact of their argument and its consequences could be highlighted more, especially with the distorted versions of themselves. The Shroobs' victory could be more detailed, showing how the characters slowly realize their failure I wanted to express the idea of a time paradox that goes beyond the expected, where even the heroes' actions unintentionally lead to the worst possible outcome. I admit, it could be improved in terms of pacing and building tension, but I hope it conveys the unsettling feeling of trying to alter something that shouldn’t be tampered with.

This is awesome, amazing work. I've always been captivated by the idea of alternative endings to games (that I'm good at) where the villain's plan takes full effect and the setting becomes devastatingly oppressive from then on, as the villain has gained unimaginable power while you have to claw back from losing everything. Like FFVI if it held absolutely nothing back in realistically depicting how utterly you’ve failed, not only in a super-kaizo difficulty spike but a relentless, pervasive hopelessness throughout the rest of the story to match. This scratches a bit of that itch. I'd like for more of the scenario to be playable than is shown here, and not a walking simulator, but the tonal shift is absolutely dead on to how the idea should be done. Absolute carnage that subverts every player expectation of what is allowed to happen in a Mario game. I'd love to see some of the more horrifying possibilities Nintendo villains bring to the table portrayed in their true, full brutality like this. Like, give me a continuation of the scenario where Mario becomes the Shadow Queen's servant, please. Maybe, like, only Goombella and Yoshi survive the SQ's complete resurrection, and they now have to kill both Peach and Mario, who are now unstoppable demon gods with like 30,000 HP.

When the game crashes, he's miffed and confused, but still having a little fun.

This video is reaaaaaaally well made, especially the mock up of the channel's owner internet persona, but here's some advice to make it look extra legit: -When portraying a young internet user from back in that date, you don't really want to overdo it with the poor writing, caps and exclamations, instead try to write everything they say as fast as posible without thinking much in correcting mistakes, it's a more natural approach at the early 2000's internet average text, you also really want to shorten up words in a similar fashion to what they did before -Having small jokes and winks at memes and references of the time can help a little bit with making the characterization a whole lot realistic, especially when talking about a youngster making amateur videos for a gameplay channels, having them say something like "i hope my cake is not a lie!!! XD" would had really enhanced the idea of them being kinda geeky, and thus, making the character feel convincing. Overall pretty fine video! I had never expected to see a creepypasta of M&L BIS, back when i was 13 years or so i had intended making a creepypasta for that game too, a little part of my youngster self feels quite satisfied after this video!

Dark Star had just about enough of all of those “Dark Bowser Gets Grounded” videos

8:24 I Wonder What Would Happen If He Entered Mic Test (Fun Fact:The 3ds Remake Removes Completely The Usage Of The Microphone Even Through The 3ds Has A Mic, Probably To Make The Game Less Harder (For Lack Of A Better Term, In The Og Ds Version The Mic Is Used Only In The Giant Bowser Fights When Attacking With Bowser's Fire Breath)

I've always wonder what Fawful's Minion's "A one are you?" story would be like if it had visuals.

..as that kid in gravity falls said “I’ve been twaumatized!” Seriously, this actually freaked me out a little bit, albeit could be from watching this on Halloween night, alone. Regardless, really good video! (But seriously , this made me uncomfortable dear god-)

Plot twist: Mario fainted and Luigi couldn't get an 1up in time, and Mario forgor he had some in his inventory. So he gets unalived by fawful's minions.
