I think what this is trying to say is, in a different universe, video game characters have consciousness, but they must see something wrong in their world in order to unlock that consciousness, and the sheer fact that a video game, on the outside, looks like a fun adventure, but on the inside, is a nightmare-fueled prison is terrifying. And, if my theory is correct, than any video game in that universe, the main character (or a side character, enemy, etc.) can see what is wrong with their world and realize there is no escape. Over time, slowly realizing that they are being put in the same loop over and over again, to play through levels, kill enemies, get more supplies, get upgrades, over and over again. The sheer thought of that makes my blood run cold.

[@FreddyFazbear8783FnafisFnafy]

My theory is that Luigi died, and Mario had something to do with it. The skull has a Mario hat in the beginning, and in the mirror room the skull became him. I think that means he’s going crazy and that skull is a part of his consciousness. In some of the cutscenes there are multiple occasions of him dead, possibly because he committed suicide. He’s trying to escape this hell that was created because his brother died. He created it for himself. And he’s getting more and more lost. There is no escape.

[@awakenow7147]

Interesting theory. Existential despair partially brought on by trauma and loss.

[@Newmexicoforever]

Yeah and also in the eternal star scene it says "L isn't real" implying that l isn't real for Mario because Mario is trying to forget what he's done to Luigi. And the name "there's nothing behind the castle" shows that after Mario killed Luigi he was guilty of what he did and threw Luigi's dead body off the back of the castle for his body to rot. And the skulls could show marios dead body following and tormenting his ghost after the tragedy that he did

[@Guest-e7w]

The rabbit skull. The rabbit is commonly a timid creature, who runs away from danger. The rabbit skull symbolizes running from infinity, which is impossible. Running from infinity will get you nowhere and will feast on your life force until you are a husk of your former self. Once you have expended your life force, you will die, and feel the sweet embrace of infinity, the same thing you ran from. Infinity is nothing to be afraid of, as it is very forgiving. for one to embrace infinity, they will just need to acknowledge that there is no escape from it.

For me it's not the fear of the endless void, it's the fear of not knowing what's out there. You know there's nothing but you feel like there is and that's what put's you on edge.

[@JuanAndresDiazTorres]

I agree with your sentiment. This reminds me of a particular aspect of human nature: the fear of the unknown. What does this have to do with anything, you may ask? Well, I believe it is a contributing factor to the fear some of us get from seemingly infinite spaces. As you've suggested, we don't know what may lie out in the horizon. Even though these seemingly endless voids probably have nothing of interest beyond what the human eye can see, we still feel as if there should be something waiting for us.

A few notes... the skull never served any purpose, it never had an origin, it never had a point to exist. The audio effects whenever Mario spoke were very cool, but they also had no reason to be there. You could argue it was the infinite voices of Mario speaking, but then why are all the voices different? He says at the end that the infinite worlds are the same. Finally, the hanged Marios gimmick felt as juvenile as Sonic exe, but at least _that_ had some kind of ending/payoff at the end when we come to realise that they were probably from those other realities and Mario's memory was somehow linked to all the other versions of himself. The lingering shots were far too long and had me checking the video to make sure it was still playing in a couple of instances and took away any uneasiness it had built because I simply wondered when it was going to move on. The scenes... I don't know how they specifically knew to activate but a couple of times it looked like you needed to stand in very specific places for a little while and if that's the case, that's kind of bad because it means you're unlikely to find those specific scenes. However, the scenes themselves were beautifully rendered, absolutely gorgeous to look at, and the animation was creepy as hell. Overall, solid props to the creator of the romhack, and I hope they continue to create and improve~ Oh and the idea was... _stellar_

[@thechargedfoxie456yt2]

Ima attempt explain what i think is happening here Mario, one day for some unknown reason, realized the infinite nature of the skybox and wanted to see what was beyond that infinity After prying around, throughout this playthrough After heading up to the back of the castle and seeing the world completely cut off, he realized he was in a game, mario wanted out, he wanted out of the box, and somehow, he saw outsude of it and saw what we see in the end, other worlds, exactly the same I believe these to be other save files, other games, each with their own mario, marios that have been through this exact same thing Clearly mirrors have some importance, and i believe the mirrors let mario see glimpses into these other worlds, and he usually sees marios hanging themselves This is where i believe the wolf skull comes in My theories are either that it was the first mario that broke free, due to it wearing marios hat several times, or the more likely theory, that wolf skull is part of the game, a sort of anti virus protection system, meant to stop the marios from breaking free The marios can only see the skull when they break free, because its outside of the world And i believe when the marios see outside of their world, theyre able to see this skull, and seeing this skull causes them to hang themselves Notice how our mario never looks directly at the skull except for 1 time, at the snowmans land painting, and immediately after seeing it, that mario hangs itself I believe the mario after that point to be a new one, possibly one that remembers the "last playthrough," where it saw the skull and hung itself This mario somehow remembers, and never looks at the wolf skull, knowing what will happen if he does This wasnt supposed to happen, its a glitch, thats why mario is glitching (when he turns blue or his model spazzes out) Now theres one more thing that caught my eye, marios voice Qhats interesting is theres 2 voices 1 deep and echoey voice, and 1 light voice very desynced from the other, a voice that sounds like marios official voice Now it seems cheep and im not saying this is the case, but its possible that theres some classic someone died and possessed a video game character shenanigans, with someone possessing this specific mario, the deep voice being his and the other voice being marios Its very likely that thats why this mario can remember Theres only 1 peice of evidence for this When mario dies in the fountain the deep voice says "nothing is reternal" but we dont hear the other lighter voice, qhich makes sense because mario is dead in the water This could be false but i just think it fits, theres just something about the voice that just stands out to me But thats my interpretation of this rom hack I may be very wrong but i may be very right This is just my theory of whats really going on, as ive not seen anyone else talk about whats really happening But if love to see your theories and opinions on if i was right or wrong in the replies 😊

I think is a deer skull, (even without the antlers the nose is very similar) it has some spiritual meaning life the cycle of death and rebirth, but is often associeted with the occult so i think theft king put it in there for shock value or because it was cool

As you can clearly see, Peach’s castle is haunted not only by Bowser and Wario, but also by Bowser’s former apprentice, whose vengeful spirit stands firm in Mario’s way to each of the 120 stars, Bowser In The Sky, Queen Peach, and the cake she promised to bake for Mario.

[@kgag-p4f]

so weird how people are hating on this, it’s weirdly unique and goes into the psychological torture of what it’s like to know your fate forever and not being able to do a damn thing about it, i also feel like the weird cut ins with the realistic graphics are like a cool perspective of trying to tell the player or the viewer that this is real to mario, this is his reality, and he has to just sit with it and unbearably suffer forever. hence the restarts of the game signifying mario’s attempt at suicide to get out of his hell. honestly i love it dude i hope he makes another one or whoever made this continues this genre or concept !

The camera locking creepiness reminds me of how it always bothered me in Ocarina of Time that certain areas had locked camera perspective. Then I learn years later that it's because you are standing in a blank greenscreen void with basic collision and a 2 dimensional photo suspended in the distance in front of the camera to give the illusion of you being in that space.

[@theftking]

Yeah I remember coming to that exact realization as a kid.

[@thesupervideogamenerdmore3171]

A similar thing happens to us. We do nearly the same thing every week, but from time to time, we ask ourselves, "Why are we doing this?", feeling lost, or see further out, only to not know what there is. We could be alone, or there could be a parallel universe, or we could be made of code, made to be slightly self aware. What if our Earth and universe is replicated for eternity, but we will never know, or what if we are made from a higher version of us, which is also made from a higher version of us? If so, if we depend on a server, if they decided to shut it down, we wouldn't be aware because we would disappear in an instant.

The scariest part about this is that it was *Lakitu* filming all of this… but… how was he not even terrified? I mean… Mario was having an existential crisis but Lakitu? He was… strangely calm. Another thing that feels weirder than scary, is that those skull creatures seem to be enormous flying creatures… and why did they keep following Mario…? Did they want something from him? If so what did they want from him? And how did Mario respawn so many times even after *dying* …? … This freaks me out

I'm severely confused by this entire video. 18:37 is where I am making this comment. What is the skull for? Every time those cinematics showed up, it just breaks the illusion that this is a "romhack" a viewer suggested. At one point, you had 12 stars, then it dropped to 8? Then you do a silly montage that is funny and not scary in the slightest, breaking the entire tone that has been built up, as if that was in the first place, given how you see these shocking moments and just return to normal commentary as if nothing had happened? No "I couldn't shake the feeling of what exactly was going on in this romhack", just "welp onto the next part of this totally normal game"? Nothing about this feels coherent, it just feels like some random bits and pieces thrown together in an attempt to make a scary story when half the time you seem to not even be trying to do that. The only thing that has actually changed in the game as of what I've watched so far was the "infinite" grassy field. And sure, the cinematics are well made, but the whiplash from those into the "back to normal gameplay" bit I mentioned earlier really doesn't scare me, if that was even the point of this.

[@theftking]

It's not really a romhack. It's a recomp

[@nurfgal]

@@theftking So the claim in the video and in the description of it being a romhack like no other is false because it isn't a romhack which breaks the illusion further. It's also still jarring to go from the cinematics to you casually describing the next parts of the game. And obviously the standout montage breaks the flow way too much.

"Infinite prisons... and they're all exactly the same." Holy shit. I think the implication being made is that, everytime Mario dies, the result isn't the clock being rewound to before you entered the level so you can try again - it's Mario getting thrown out into a different universe where he hasn't died yet. Even getting a Game Over just returns you, the player, back to the menu; once you return to the game, nothing has changed. No matter how many times Mario dies, there's no escaping the Super Mario 64 multiverse. He's stuck there forever. That is some dark shit.

[@BallinLikeTime]

the term "infinite" is exaggerated by some, infinite but not quite. beyond is infinite but intended to be "not" infinite, when you look at a void of "nothing" there's something in there. when you look there's nothing, but in another way there's something. our mind cannot comprehend what's there and that terrifies us, the worst thing tho is knowing there's something there. sometimes the "void" is the "life without a life", that means that the life we know it has no life beyond it. as you look up in the sky you see a void, but beyond that void is something. and that something is nothing. "a life without a life"

[@darkness3981]

Understanding the concepts of infinity, nothingness, and the void can be formidable due to their inherent complexity. However, one can approach these ideas from an alternative perspective to gain a deeper understanding: Infinity: Although the term "infinity" is often misused, rigorous mathematical and philosophical frameworks have provided precise definitions for it. These definitions serve as essential tools for comprehending concepts that transcend our immediate experience. Nothingness: According to modern physics, true "nothingness" may not actually exist. Seemingly empty space is pervaded by quantum fluctuations and fields, challenging our conventional notions of emptiness. Comprehension: While these concepts may be difficult to grasp intuitively, human understanding of the nature of the universe has made significant progress through scientific and mathematical endeavors. Our minds, albeit limited, have demonstrated remarkable adaptability in grasping abstract ideas. Life and meaning: The belief that life lacks meaning without continuation is a philosophical position rather than a universal truth. Many individuals find profound meaning in finite existence, emphasizing the quality and impact of life rather than its duration. The unknown: The vastness of the cosmos can be daunting; yet, it has also sparked curiosity, exploration, and scientific progress. Instead of being solely a source of fear, the unknown can also serve as a source of motivation and fascination.
