Hey Guys, welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I am NOT your host Kelly Paoli, between you
and me, I slayed her Tomb Raider style, took her job, took her life...call me Kelly.
In all seriousness I’m filling in for Kelly for the next little bit while she’s off
directing a show.
Some of you may know me from previous gaming live streams we’ve done, and for those of
you that don’t, I’m Lucy McPhee.
SO now the introductions are out of the way let's jump in.
Creepypastas have been around for a while, I mean who doesn’t love a creepy story that
is hell-bent on ruining your childhood and the games and characters you love.
Well, in this video we’re going to list off some of the creepiest theories surrounding
nintendo, and warning, this list gets disturbing.
Really disturbing.
Mario will die, multiple times.
Ok?
Good?
In that case, let’s jump into our list of the Top 10 Nintendo Creepypastas.
10 Majora’s Mask To kick things off we have arguably one of
the most famous Nintendo Creepypastas coming from Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask.
A gamer named Jadusable was building his Nintendo 64 collection and at a garage sale came across
a cartridge that had one word written on it “Majora”.
The seller said it had originally belonged to someone who no longer lived there and gave
it to our author for free.
How sweet.
He went home, excited, of course, and booted up the game, but discovered there was already
a save file labeled “BEN” not wanting to disrespect the original owner he kept the
file but was forced to delete it when characters in his game began to refer to him as Ben.
Those assholes.
After removing the file the characters stopped calling him Ben, but also wouldn't call him
by any name at all.
Odd.
He continued on, he began working on the Snowhead Temple and wanted to alot himself an extra
day of time over the usual three days, so he executed the four day glitch which had
become widely known across the gaming community.
A note then popped up on his screen “Go to the lair of temple’s boss?
Yes/No”.
He hit yes after discovering the game wouldn’t allow him to hit no.
The author then found himself back in Clock Town only this time there were no people,
and missing textures that made him look as though he was floating.
Pretty cool, but this is a creepypasta so stay with me.The Song of Healing was also
playing, but in reverse, he attempted to warp out but the game wouldn’t let him, so he
instead try to kill his character in hopes that he would respawn somewhere else.
He began running towards Laundry Pool, planning on drowning his character, but before he could
get there Link appeared grabbing the characters head, and a flash on the screen quickly displayed
the Happy Mask Salesman smiling with the Skull Kid’s scream playing in the background.The
screen the returned, but he was now staring at the Link Statue which began to follow him
wherever he went.He then spawned to Clock Tower, standing in front of Skull Kid with
the Stone Tower Temple playing in reverse.
He attempted to attack him but everytime he would get lifted in the air and set on fire.
However, on his last attempt the screen went black and his cartridge began to make noise,
as through processing a lot of information.
When the screen game to he saw Link dead on the ground with Skull Kid floating about his
lifeless body.
He tried to click away, put he was forced to watch until the game finally shut off.
9 Pokemon Lost Silver We have a short creepypasta here coming in
from an unknown users.
He begins his story by discussing how he wanted to revisit one of his favourite childhood
games, Pokemon Silver.
His mum had thrown his old version out so he was forced to go to a GameStop to buy a
used copy.
As most of us who have purchased use games, you will often find old save files from previous
owners that haven’t been deleted.
This was the case for our author, although this one is slightly different.
He clicks on the save file which is name “...” and sees that the user had accumulated a very
humble 999 hrs of playtime.
Good for him.
It gets weirder though.
The character is constantly changing parties throughout the game, and mostly consists of
Unknowns, a Pokemon whose symbol makes up a fictional language.
Of course our author knows this language, otherwise our creepypasta would end here.
As he continues on with his game, amongst the glitches and symbols the game begins to
document the tragic story of what really happened to the previous owner.
8 Lavender Town Syndrome This creepypasta focuses on Pokemon Green,
a very popular game from the late 90’s.
During this time a high number of suicides and illnesses were reported in Japan in children
aged between 7-12.
Odd right?
What’s the connection?
Well apparently those who played Pokemon Green and visited an area of the map called Lavender
Town would be subjected to music with a frequency that would drive those who listened to it
to suicide.
Nintendo eventually changed the music, and made it as difficult as possible to track
down the original.
Do you dare listen to it?
7 MARIO Author unknown, this creepypasta begins with
our user scrolling through hacks online, and stumbling across one labelled “MARIO”,
just that.
Mario.
In large capital letters.
The description of the hack was odd, it read as follows “As you play the role of Super
Mario plumber, verify that you are beautiful” followed by a ridiculously long words that
makes zero sense, but lets process, “Bowser kidnapped the evil king, it is your job to
save her.
This hack includes six levels of very long”.
Great, cool, perfect.
6 levels of very long is all I need in life.
The user dismissed it as a joke but, as it does to us all, curiosity got the better of
him and he downloaded it.
He was then greeted by 2 files, a text file and an IPS file, simply named MARIO.
He opened the text file which had nothing but symbols and letters which didn’t seem
to make any sense.
Amongst the text however were a handful of english words which read “find me find me
find me”.
Creepy.
He proceeded to patch the game and jumped in, but nothing was quite as it seemed.
Yoshi’s Island was now labeled Yoshi’s House, and the palette of the level had been
turned on its head.
It was now a rotting brown colour and the vegetation was no longer present.
He then recieved a number of text blocks that didn’t make much sense, such as “There’s
no way out of here” and “Don’t you think you’ve caused enough trouble.”.
The creepypasta goes on for about 6, but felt like 16 paragraphs more, before the author
finally comes to the conclusion that Mario is in his own version of hell, trapped in
a vicious loop and atoning for his sins.
Classic.
6 KiyoshisNES This creepypasta kicks off with 2 brothers
playing Earthbound, a game made for the NES in the late 80’s.
They booted the game up for the first time but were immediately taken to the final dungeon
of the game, right before the final boss.
Everything seems normal until text appears, which seems to be Kiyoshi communicating with
the players directly.
The last pieces of text reveals that Kiyoishi is actually the players fathers, and the reason
for them playing the game was because, I quotes, “reminded them of their mother”.
The players brother states that he lied about his mother's death and leaves.
After the player smashes the game cartridge with a bat the mother then returns home, alive
and well, knowing personal details about the player which she shouldn’t know.
The player then goes to bed, only to be woken in the night to the sound of an explosion
and his mother saying “What was that noise?
Ness, you don’t seem scared.”
What does that even mean?!
5 The Nintendo Switch We have a short but sweet one here from a
redditer named GloryBust, who describes getting a Switch for his birthday.
Great, right?
He immediately plugged it in and booted it up, but instead of seeing the home screen,
he saw static and 3 words “you will die”.
No thank you.
His parents said they saw nothing but he was positive he did.
He went to bed, trying to forget what he saw, but when he woke up he saw blood dripping
from the fan above him, he went downstairs screaming for help, but something stopped
him, his parents, tied up on the floor with apples in the mouths.
Yikes.
4 Luigi Is Dead Now this is more of a theory, and a popular
one at that, but bare with me.
So for this theory we jump over to Luigi’s Mansion, an innocent enough game, but upon
closer inspection not so much.
In the attic of the mansion a few players noticed something rather spooky reflected
on the wall, a shadow, Luigi’s shadow, Luigi’s shadow with a noose around his neck.
Yeah.
Not so innocent now.
Now some have assumed it’s a glitch in the game but others aren’t so sure, some believe
Luigi’s mansion is in fact purgatory and he has actually been dead for the entire game.
Childhood ruined yet?
3 Super Mario 128 So, during the gamecube era, Nintendo attempted
to go through a switch, inviting more violent and mature themes into their games.
Mario gunning down Luigi?
Not so into it.
Our author describes accessing a beta versions of Super Mario 128.
It begins with Bowser saying, I quote, “Mario, I have taken Princess Peach and she will not
live to see the sun rise tomorrow unless you take her place.
You know what to do and where to go.
Do no try to stop me unless you want to hasten her death”, end quote.
FUN.
The characters in game appear much darker and more realistic, giving Mario angry expressions
along his journey.
During his first encounter with Bowser he appears far more grotesque than in previous
games, and during a battle stabs Mario with his claws and eats him.
Yikes.
The game then ends with simply one words on a tombstone, “Innocence”.
2 The Red GameCube Now this creepypasta comes from a now deleted
creepypasta wiki page.
It describes a game who saw an ad for a red game cube, but in this ad game cube was all
one word.
Weird, right?
Our author thought so too, who wrote, I quote, “ special edition game cube, only 20 dollars!
- I began to wonder why the ad would disrespect in a name like that, but I simply clicked
the ad and was brought to the “order now” button.”
end quote.
Our author then goes on to explain how four weeks later the console arrived, being delivered
by a man with no uniform, if the name wasn’t a red flag, this certainly was.
The author accepted it, though tentatively, and unboxed his new console, which surprisingly
had no wires and wasn’t in a box.
Red flag number 2.
He grabbed cords he had laying around the house and plugged it in, he grabbed Tony Hawk’s
Pro Skater 3 and booted up the system.
The main menu appeared, only displaying one mode though, “Story Mode”, red flag number
3.
He selected it anyway, and through the words red flashes began to appear and a voice that
said just one word “HERE”.
*shudder*.
Eventually a skateboarder appeared, holding a board that isn’t unlockable until 3 games
later.
DUDE turn off the game and through it in the bin right now!
A note eventually appeared on the screen, “DO THE BIG RED” followed by “HE CAN
SEE YOU”.
But the icing on the cake was when the game displayed a name, his name, “Thomas” and
“DO NOT PLAY”.
Thomas immediately shut off the system and walked away, only to hear another knock on
his door, it was the same man who delivered the GameCube, he said just one thing, “Something
must be simple.
Isn’t you yet?
Who?
I think it’s you, of course.
Better watch out”.
CREEPY.
1 Godzilla on NES Some of you may remember Godzilla from your
childhood, and had a lot of fun with the action game that requires you to move Kaiju around
a chess board taking on iconic movie monsters in a side-scrolling style action sequence.
Fun stuff, right?
Apparently not, for some a new ink cartridge has surfaced that presents something a little
more diabolical, and Kaiju’s descent into a deep dark void of hellish terror, that includes
new monsters that were cut from the original game for very obvious reasons, check it out!
