I'm studying storytelling for my English class and this video is really good for studying. Analysis, sorry if I get some lthings wrong: So in the first version, there are birds chirping, a waterfall. it's atmospheric. But nothing is in the castle, there aren't even any stairs. Just an empty room with a door that leads to bob-omb battlefield. Bob-omb battlefield seems normal, but there are no enemies in bob-omb battlefield, and the music is slightly slower in tempo. You get a star, that's all. Something is off. When the game changes the first time however, the waterfall is suddenly gone. The outside starts to feel more empty. The castle is still the same. In bob-omb battlefield, nothing has really changed; the music is the same, still slower, layout is pretty much the same. But there's now a patch of yellow flowers surrounded by wooden signs with red arrows pointing downward, hinting that there's something beneath. But after attempts to getting under the patch of flowers, you collect a star. After the second change, now the outside is truly empty. No bird chirps, no waterfall. You're truly alone. The castle is still the same. Once you go through the door that leads to bob-omb battlefield, you turn around to make sure that you're safe before you enter bob-omb battlefield. Now, it looks different; the sky is jet black, the music is missing instruments. You get a message that says "objective". Huh? What does this mean? There's a sign with an arrow pointing right You go right. There's another sign pointing left, you go left. When you go right, however, there suddenly more signs that tell you to go left. You decide to ignore them. Then, there's that flower patch again. Now the flowers are glitched out; floating on top of the floor instead of stemming from it. After failed attempts to try to go downwards, like the arrows telling you to, you decide to go up the mountain that leads to the star. As you go up, there's arrows pointing backwards, telling you to go back. You refuse. You collect the star. The third change. There's no sky, just a white backdrop. The water is all dried. The trees are gone. The birds are possibly dead. The castle is still empty. When you get to the painting, you can see that the bob-ombs are gone. Once you enter the painting, it was the same as last time. You get a message: "Objective. Leave". You ignore. As you explore, you suddenly get a timer, ticking 30 seconds. You have 30 seconds to escape. You ignored...you screwed yourself. The area starts to get more dark and gains a red tint. Once the timer ends, you feel confused. Huh? What the? For a few seconds, you hear silence. Then, you start to hear faint static in the distance. It gets louder. Something is coming to get you. The static is a corrupt and inverted version of yourself. It's floating rapidly towards you. You get caught by it. You couldn't escape. The fourth change. Yeah, there was a logo, and now it's gone. You try to play the game. You're gone, but everything else is normal. The birds are chirping, there's a waterfall. Eerie music plays. You get a message... "Everything is better without you." You feel a sense of dread. This was not a normal copy of Mario 64. You should've listened.
Note also how the painting room gets longer each time... Also, did you notice that after the second change, the stained glass window on the front of the castle is missing? In fact, even the spot where it's supposed to be is gone after the third change... as well as the colors of the surrounding hills.
Denial: He stands there for a second in shock. Anger: Groundpounds in anger. Bargaining: Actually tries it even tho it won't work. Depression: Slows down. Acceptance: Waiting for the end. That's how I understood it.
@Tommy Holman Not trying to defend those types of stories, but how is this hack any more realistic than them? An actual Mario game would never play like this.
@@bubbythebear6891 Well, I think it has to do with immersion. Those hyper realistic blood tropes are so overdone for bad pastas that they kill immersion. This hack builds suspension and tension and gets you immersed waiting for something to happen - it’s very very unsettling because everything just feels SLIGHTLY off That’s what makes this hack great - it doesn’t try to be mind numbingly scary, it just tries to make you uncomfortable and paranoid
complaiiiin complain complain ggod thats all yt commenters know how to do "this is better than that FUCKINMG DOGSHIT KNOWN AS _____" is not the compliment you think it is

Error has occured 0x000000000000 0x026184729472 0x638264939274
the music at the end is haunting, this rom hack seriously gives a sense of hopelessness with the player and definitely represents the term “curiosity killed the cat” to great extent
this to me feels like what depression is like. youre doing more or less the same thing as everyone else, except theres just less life to it. the things that are making others excited arent there for you, and youre just going through the motions. and even in how you can, if you choose to, try to appreciate that at least that you can see the colours and hear the music and wander the landscape, even if the excitement and the finer details arent there, but is it necessarily good to be okay with that when you know how much more there is supposed to be?
I think, in order to see those greater details, you must find some contentment within those dull places. Most happiness, in the moment or long term, seems to come from acceptance of the current circumstances. Even with the overall weight of depression, which is ever present. We can still find a way to feel whole, to be here feeling it right now. It’s all there ever will be.
I love how most rom hacks try way too hard to be scary, but this one manages to be one of the creepiest rom hacks I’ve came across. There’s something about the eeriness and emptiness that makes it super unsettling
Whenever the sky first turned black, typical elements of the level felt ominous. In particular, running up the mountain and along those walls made it feel like you had a blind spot on the left side of your vision, and man, turning those corners was tense! Great suspense.
its funny that most of the horror from anything sm64 related has to do with the nostalgia of playing the original game because you just know something's off in the video
My interpretation is that an iteration of Mario during a previous gameplay remained within a pocket existence after the game has been turned off/reset by the player and because this Mario desired to fulfill the goal of completing the game, it attempted to continue having an adventure in a world that was slowly fading away. It all came to a head when the Mario tried one last time to climb the mountain of Bob-omb Battlefield, a timer began, and the Mario was approached by another glitchy Mario that represented the inevitable descent into oblivion; finally there to claim it so that the next iteration of Mario appear in it's place and start the whole process over again. The final message of "Everything is better off without you" is the game sticking it to the previous iteration of Mario for thinking that it was important enough to finish the adventure when it's time & place in existence was by definition, finite.
You can't keep running from your problems forever, Mario. Luigi, Toad, Peach, Bowser.... They all know it's pointless to keep running. Because your problems are always so much faster than you, Mario. So, what are you going to do? Will you keep running, jumping, kicking off walls, thinking that every time you do you'll be one step further from your problems? Or will you finally suck it up and accept the futility of your dillemma?
When I played this, the race startup music and timer started and the one thing in my head was: Na na na na na now We're completely fucked Completely fucked We're completely fucked
This is literally the most scary rom hack I've played. I'm not one to get scared easily, but going through the battlefield the last time and hearing the race sound start made me feel more terrified than any jumpscare ever could
I feel like the story that is being told here is that is that the glitch is running rampant, consuming everything in its wake. But it can ONLY when the player is there, that’s why the game is trying to get you to leave, since whenever you come back it consumes more. Then, the last time, the glitch finds you, and we can see it’s taken on the form of Mario, it leaps towards him and finally consumed him as well, in doing that, however, it deletes itself since it also deleted the only form it could take Finally we come back to the game and see that everything is back, but you, Mario. Only to then be told that everything is better off without you, since it’s because of you that the glitch existed, and it’s because of you that it consumed so much.
After watching this a few more times, I think I understand the message… The player repeatedly playing the game represents a person going through one day after another until the world around them start to be missing something it used to have; as if it’s coming to an end. Until the objective at the beginning of the level is no longer “Get to the top” but rather… nothing. Like there’s no point in being there. Once the player visits the level one last time, the objective is to “leave”. Not to leave the game, but leave the world. The player then encounters a distorted version of Mario, perhaps representing the player’s darker side and takes you to the complete version of the game saying “Everything is better off without you.” With that being said I believe the message here was showing the stages of depression/suicide. In this state of mind you actually believe that everything is better off without you and you’re removing one thing from the world that it used to have… However if you look in the background at the end, not just the waterfall is missing but the player as well. Everything is NOT better off without you. The world will be still be missing something, and that is *you.*
The way the camera is set up in Mario 64 makes this a lot more unsettling. Whenever you enter a room the camera faces Mario, and you have to walk forward into the room and wait for the camera to slowly turn around, which builds a ton of suspense and anticipation of what you might see.
I have a theory: The Mario that our player controls is actually not the real Mario, it is a kind of virus or entity that is slowly corrupting the game. The Mario that manages to trap us in the end is actually the real Mario but already corrupted so it also corrupts whatever is the faker "Mario" Getting to remove "Mario" from the game code That's why at the end of the game we are told "Everything is better without you.
it's like a car slowly breaking down. when one problem is fixed, two more arise, and soon enough the entire car becomes inoperable within weeks. only in this case the breakdown is condensed into 15 minutes of gameplay
Really awesome horror hack. I have been searching through different ROM hacks (Super Mario 64 is one of my childhood games) out of boredom. Either there is an over-use of blood, jump scares, etc. But this one is my favorite as it uses suspense and the environment to create an uneasy atmosphere. It legit frightened me the first time. I am doing a fan-art of this right now. That's how good it is 💜
I feel like creepypasta never really died, the stories have in fact increased in quality over time. Yeah, the early 2010's had some bangers-Ben Drowned is pretty good psychological horror and has a well-made romhack to back it up, and Funnymouth and Godzilla NES kept me up at night for weeks-but even a lot of the really iconic stories were just kind of meh. It feels like in recent years we've consistently gotten really, _really_ good creepypastas, and I feel like this is a shining example.
Me reading the title: Oh it's like a creepypasta. Me most of the video: oh, it actually was just the map on its different early versions. Me at the end: Oh it was like a creepypasta.
The beginning of the vid when they entered the castle and the inside was just empty gave a similar feeling to seeing the house you grew up in without furniture because you're moving away
This video feels like me desperately trying to remember all the Mario 64 romhack show cases and blooper videos I'd watch back in the day (I'm never finding those videos again bruh 😭)
I feel like the flowers with all the down arrow signs represent a safe haven where this unknown entity you meet in the final level can't interfere with Mario. That is where Mario has to flee towards within the 1 minute timer. This is all speculation though.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
"Every copy of mario 64 is perzonalised" My copy: 12 rooms, the castle walls are painted with white paint, there are some scratches in the walls, 3 rooms have paintings, one leads to wet-dry world, with it having the second bowser fight music, which makes it even stranger, no enemies, and when you go to the city, you can hear footsteps and some kicking on the doors, if you stay there for long you'll notice a black hole in a squared form in the gray house, when you enter it you'll find some stairs that lead to where the eternal star statue. Just a room with a brick texture with a rocks floor and the eternal star statue. There are no stars, only exit is in the eternal star room or exiting by pause menu. Next level: Bob-omb battlefield, or as the copy names it, bobomb field, its all empty, no chain chomp, the tree branch of the chain chomp is still there, bt nothing is attached to it, only 1 star, you can get it by the only 1 cannon and in the left side there is a red wing cap block, the top of the mountain is locked with brick walls, so you fly to the top of the brick walls and get in a hole that leads you to a new room where your gonna have to parkour to get to the star, when you get the star mario doesnt dance, and there is no winning song, after you exit the painting, which is just a photo of bob-omb battlefield, you cant enter it anymore, when you try to re-enter a text box will appear saying "i dont know what is in there now...... And you shouldn't know too... " The 3rd room has a painting that is just white and nothing more, when you enter it the name is "heaven?" This is the strangest one, BY A LOT, when you enter its just an infinite white space, its all white except for mario and the floor, which the floor is a little bit more grey to distinguish, the music is just like when you call on an old phone and there is interception, just at low volume, a REAL low volume, i explored there for 12 minutes and i found a wing cap box, when i used it i found a black island with a sign that only said "try to find an exit.... As fast as possible.... Dont go to the red door... .. " thats when i looked behind me and noticed a red door, i dont know why the sign said to not go there, so i used the wing cap to go there.... I will explain later.
I like the increasing amount of signs with arrows pointing anywhere but towards the star like the game itself is warning you to get out before its too late

I was thinking that a star would be there & grabbing it would lead to the usual "something changed" error screen, but afterwards you get transported into some weird acid trip world among the likes of Kidd Video or Revenge of the Sunfish.

I'm studying storytelling for my English class and this video is really good for studying.
Analysis, sorry if I get some lthings wrong:
So in the first version, there are birds chirping, a waterfall. it's atmospheric. But nothing is in the castle, there aren't even any stairs. Just an empty room with a door that leads to bob-omb battlefield. Bob-omb battlefield seems normal, but there are no enemies in bob-omb battlefield, and the music is slightly slower in tempo.

When the game changes the first time however, the waterfall is suddenly gone. The outside starts to feel more empty. The castle is still the same. In bob-omb battlefield, nothing has really changed; the music is the same, still slower, layout is pretty much the same. But there's now a patch of yellow flowers surrounded by wooden signs with red arrows pointing downward, hinting that there's something beneath. But after attempts to getting under the patch of flowers, you collect a star.
After the second change, now the outside is truly empty. No bird chirps, no waterfall. You're truly alone. The castle is still the same. Once you go through the door that leads to bob-omb battlefield, you turn around to make sure that you're safe before you enter bob-omb battlefield. Now, it looks different; the sky is jet black, the music is missing instruments. You get a message that says "objective". Huh? What does this mean?

You decide to ignore them. Then, there's that flower patch again. Now the flowers are glitched out; floating on top of the floor instead of stemming from it. After failed attempts to try to go downwards, like the arrows telling you to, you decide to go up the mountain that leads to the star. As you go up, there's arrows pointing backwards, telling you to go back. You refuse. You collect the star.
The third change. There's no sky, just a white backdrop. The water is all dried. The trees are gone. The birds are possibly dead. The castle is still empty. When you get to the painting, you can see that the bob-ombs are gone. Once you enter the painting, it was the same as last time. You get a message: "Objective. Leave". You ignore. As you explore, you suddenly get a timer, ticking 30 seconds. You have 30 seconds to escape. You ignored...you screwed yourself. The area starts to get more dark and gains a red tint. Once the timer ends, you feel confused. Huh? What the? For a few seconds, you hear silence. Then, you start to hear faint static in the distance. It gets louder. Something is coming to get you. The static is a corrupt and inverted version of yourself. It's floating rapidly towards you. You get caught by it. You couldn't escape.
The fourth change. Yeah, there was a logo, and now it's gone. You try to play the game. You're gone, but everything else is normal. The birds are chirping, there's a waterfall. Eerie music plays. You get a message...
"Everything is better without you."

Will you keep running, jumping, kicking off walls, thinking that every time you do you'll be one step further from your problems?
Or will you finally suck it up and accept the futility of your dillemma?

If this video makes it to 100K views, I will consider making a B3313 playthrough.
We have made it past 100k views congrats even though I'm a bit late.
That shit is WAY too long nevermind
Do it in parts?
This is fuckin' incredible!
Kept me on my toes from the moment it started and wow. Truly a wicked road to go down on
This romhack is fantastic
Man this was really tense, specially when the timer appeared
When I played this, the race startup music and timer started and the one thing in my head was:
Na na na na na now
We're completely fucked
Completely fucked
We're completely fucked
The 30 seconds timer made me freak out and I was afraid of what happens when time runs out.
This is literally the most scary rom hack I've played. I'm not one to get scared easily, but going through the battlefield the last time and hearing the race sound start made me feel more terrified than any jumpscare ever could
I feel like the story that is being told here is that is that the glitch is running rampant, consuming everything in its wake. But it can ONLY when the player is there, that’s why the game is trying to get you to leave, since whenever you come back it consumes more.
Then, the last time, the glitch finds you, and we can see it’s taken on the form of Mario, it leaps towards him and finally consumed him as well, in doing that, however, it deletes itself since it also deleted the only form it could take
Finally we come back to the game and see that everything is back, but you, Mario. Only to then be told that everything is better off without you, since it’s because of you that the glitch existed, and it’s because of you that it consumed so much.
just another anti-piracy measure 👍
Lmfao that damn Nintendo
@@Datenshi-Beats Yeah, like, damn. 💀
litteratly every single anti-piracy screen on youtube:
After watching this a few more times, I think I understand the message…
The player repeatedly playing the game represents a person going through one day after another until the world around them start to be missing something it used to have; as if it’s coming to an end. Until the objective at the beginning of the level is no longer “Get to the top” but rather… nothing. Like there’s no point in being there. Once the player visits the level one last time, the objective is to “leave”. Not to leave the game, but leave the world. The player then encounters a distorted version of Mario, perhaps representing the player’s darker side and takes you to the complete version of the game saying “Everything is better off without you.”
With that being said I believe the message here was showing the stages of depression/suicide. In this state of mind you actually believe that everything is better off without you and you’re removing one thing from the world that it used to have… However if you look in the background at the end, not just the waterfall is missing but the player as well.
Everything is NOT better off without you. The world will be still be missing something, and that is *you.*
Everything Will be Better without One thing, the dark side of yourself
(Or whatever you think should earth lose)

@@snowmaske :\
The song at the end... I dunno what it is, but...
*I feel like I've heard it before.*
Same bro
It kinda sounds like "Everywhere at the end of time" but with sm64 soundfont
this rom hack made me feel like someone suffering from dementia, where super mario 64 is an important memory slowly forgetting it
Ngl I thought it was a metaphor on how souless Nintendo has become
My memory of the exam questions:
I thought the logo at the beginning said "Sperm 64" for a moment...
Yeah my broken humor is starting to take a toll on my brain
The way the camera is set up in Mario 64 makes this a lot more unsettling. Whenever you enter a room the camera faces Mario, and you have to walk forward into the room and wait for the camera to slowly turn around, which builds a ton of suspense and anticipation of what you might see.
The timer sound effect was such a cool concept!
I have a theory:
The Mario that our player controls is actually not the real Mario, it is a kind of virus or entity that is slowly corrupting the game.
The Mario that manages to trap us in the end is actually the real Mario but already corrupted so it also corrupts whatever is the faker "Mario" Getting to remove "Mario" from the game code
That's why at the end of the game we are told "Everything is better without you.
I Use a translator to make this comment, excuse me if I am not understood correctly.
Don't worry, good theory
There is something so eerie about the game slowly losing its features.
it's like a car slowly breaking down. when one problem is fixed, two more arise, and soon enough the entire car becomes inoperable within weeks. only in this case the breakdown is condensed into 15 minutes of gameplay
0:50 that was so unnerving it gave me a slight fear response.
Really awesome horror hack. I have been searching through different ROM hacks (Super Mario 64 is one of my childhood games) out of boredom. Either there is an over-use of blood, jump scares, etc. But this one is my favorite as it uses suspense and the environment to create an uneasy atmosphere. It legit frightened me the first time.
I am doing a fan-art of this right now. That's how good it is 💜
Give me that art you made *NOW*
A 30 second timer has never scared me more
When you get chased by M, (the static mario) you have to run until you get to the flower patch. then duck under
¿What happens when you do that?
The flower patch with the signs isn’t there anymore (12:08)
I feel like creepypasta never really died, the stories have in fact increased in quality over time. Yeah, the early 2010's had some bangers-Ben Drowned is pretty good psychological horror and has a well-made romhack to back it up, and Funnymouth and Godzilla NES kept me up at night for weeks-but even a lot of the really iconic stories were just kind of meh. It feels like in recent years we've consistently gotten really, _really_ good creepypastas, and I feel like this is a shining example.
Oh look, sm64 video
*Immediately skips to the end to find the analog creepypasta demon*
Nah as soon as I saw 11:34 I would have closed the game lmao shit like that creeps me out
Me reading the title: Oh it's like a creepypasta.
Me most of the video: oh, it actually was just the map on its different early versions.
Me at the end: Oh it was like a creepypasta.
The beginning of the vid when they entered the castle and the inside was just empty gave a similar feeling to seeing the house you grew up in without furniture because you're moving away
This video feels like me desperately trying to remember all the Mario 64 romhack show cases and blooper videos I'd watch back in the day (I'm never finding those videos again bruh 😭)
This was disturbing on a whole new level. I'm seriously shaken by this.
I thought the beginning said "sperm mario 64"
Every Single Copy of Mario 64 Is Personalized
Everywhere at the end of Mario
Mario 64 but the bill collector came
I feel like the flowers with all the down arrow signs represent a safe haven where this unknown entity you meet in the final level can't interfere with Mario. That is where Mario has to flee towards within the 1 minute timer. This is all speculation though.
13:27 one of the hardest quotes of all time
This is the clear representation of "but I didn't give it importance"
13:17 “Mario is dead. You can quit the game now. Never return, monster.”
Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today
Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today

Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

"Everything is better off without you", lol my life
Super neat! I wasn't aware of this romhack before your video.
I wonder if you could get this running on the PC port of Mario 64.
10:16 I kinda want to study what’s causes dread in this image
Really?
I knew i wasn't crazy when i first noticed how longer the painting room was ar rhe first two times
"Every copy of mario 64 is perzonalised"
My copy: 12 rooms, the castle walls are painted with white paint, there are some scratches in the walls, 3 rooms have paintings, one leads to wet-dry world, with it having the second bowser fight music, which makes it even stranger, no enemies, and when you go to the city, you can hear footsteps and some kicking on the doors, if you stay there for long you'll notice a black hole in a squared form in the gray house, when you enter it you'll find some stairs that lead to where the eternal star statue. Just a room with a brick texture with a rocks floor and the eternal star statue. There are no stars, only exit is in the eternal star room or exiting by pause menu.
Next level: Bob-omb battlefield, or as the copy names it, bobomb field, its all empty, no chain chomp, the tree branch of the chain chomp is still there, bt nothing is attached to it, only 1 star, you can get it by the only 1 cannon and in the left side there is a red wing cap block, the top of the mountain is locked with brick walls, so you fly to the top of the brick walls and get in a hole that leads you to a new room where your gonna have to parkour to get to the star, when you get the star mario doesnt dance, and there is no winning song, after you exit the painting, which is just a photo of bob-omb battlefield, you cant enter it anymore, when you try to re-enter a text box will appear saying "i dont know what is in there now...... And you shouldn't know too... "
The 3rd room has a painting that is just white and nothing more, when you enter it the name is "heaven?"
This is the strangest one, BY A LOT, when you enter its just an infinite white space, its all white except for mario and the floor, which the floor is a little bit more grey to distinguish, the music is just like when you call on an old phone and there is interception, just at low volume, a REAL low volume, i explored there for 12 minutes and i found a wing cap box, when i used it i found a black island with a sign that only said "try to find an exit.... As fast as possible.... Dont go to the red door... .. " thats when i looked behind me and noticed a red door, i dont know why the sign said to not go there, so i used the wing cap to go there.... I will explain later.
0:11 I READ SPERMARIO64 LOL
WEIRD MARIO THING SENDS YOU TO BRAZIL
We can only hope our own imminent demise is as "yah!" and "wahoo!" filled as Mario's
I like the increasing amount of signs with arrows pointing anywhere but towards the star like the game itself is warning you to get out before its too late

Now the question is:
What happens if you reach the end of the mountain?
I wasn't able to do it, but some people say that there is no star and the glitch gets you
@@Rabbid4240 yeah i see 20 videos already about it xD
I was thinking that a star would be there & grabbing it would lead to the usual "something changed" error screen, but afterwards you get transported into some weird acid trip world among the likes of Kidd Video or Revenge of the Sunfish.

That endings deep.

it was terrifying.
