welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
halloween themed levels
[Music]
hmm
[Applause]
for this list we'll be looking at levels
from non-horror games that best
encapsulate the spirit of all hallows
eve
which level brings out your halloween
spirit let us know in the comments
number 10 nina's nightmare crash team
racing nitro fueled
to commemorate the spooky grand prix
this kart racing remaster introduced a
brand new track that screamed halloween
the track shines a spotlight on nina
cortex neocortex's gothic niece
or is she his daughter either way nina's
nightmare is a gateway into the
character's warped imagination
literally the race commences with a
levitating key unlocking a gate
sending racers on a petrifying path made
up of decrepit windmills
dark woods and a mansion modeled after
nina's twisted personality
also present is the pumpkin lord who
will squash you with his tree-like legs
if you're not careful
with the excitement of a roller coaster
and an appropriately spooky atmosphere
nina's nightmare delivers the thrills in
more ways than one
all that's missing is a hearse
easy number nine level seven the
simpsons hit and run
then people say i'm slow wait a minute
that was an insult i'm a lean mean
speed thingy whenever kang and kodo show
up
you know that the simpsons are in store
for a scare in the seventh and final
level of this game
springfield is given a treehouse of
horror makeover taking place on october
31st
homer must thwart the aliens while also
dealing with a zombie apocalypse
[Music]
as fun as the missions are the best part
of this level is simply exploring this
unique version of springfield
which has become littered with halloween
themed references and visual gags
krusty burger is now a zombie burger the
quick emart has been revamped as the
spooky mart
and on the house you can even find
graffiti reading no tv make homer go
crazy
it's every bit as memorable as homer's
last trip to the third dimension
mindless destruction this town is going
to pay for this
number eight ghostly garden pac-man
world
[Music]
ghosts have been a stable of the pac-man
franchise ever since his arcade days
so when the character made a leap to the
3d platformer genre it only made sense
for the game's final world to possess a
haunting vibe
while we could have singled out any of
the four levels that make up tockman's
mansion
ghostly garden is the most notably
halloweeny
[Music]
ghosts aren't the only obstacle that
pac-man has to worry about in this
graveyard-like setting
giant bats skeletons and floating
coffins are also scattered throughout
the falling leaves in the air also give
the level a genuine autumn feeling
while you won't find any candy you'll
come across plenty of fruit which
pac-man prefers to munch on anyway
number 7 pumpkin hill sonic adventure 2.
you can run but you can't hide from the
ghosts that occupy
pumpkin hill on his quest to collect the
master emerald's missing pieces
knuckles finds himself gliding through a
mountain range where the hilltops are
shaped like jack-o-lanterns
the setting sun in the background and
the illuminated pumpkin heads give the
level an atmosphere that's creepy yet
cool
[Music]
the same can be said about the level's
theme song a ghost's pumpkin suit
which complements knuckles fearless
attitude and the eerie sentiment
of halloween for whatever reason though
king boom boom doesn't attack knuckles
until later in the game
[Applause]
number six subcon forest a hat in time
this nostalgic gem recaptured the magic
of classic 3d platformers with several
themed worlds to explore
one of the areas that hat kid travels to
is subcon forest
which is crawling with creatures right
out of a campfire story
[Music]
the scene stealer is snatcher a
mysterious figure who always has a
contract ready
you'll have to make a few deals with
this devilish character to progress
requiring hat kid to do a variety of
tasks the creepiest of which
takes hat girl to queen vanessa's manor
where you'll be hiding under furniture
in fear
it all culminates in a boss battle
against the snatcher who should have
worn his thinking cap when he mess with
hat kid
number 5 creepy castle donkey kong 64.
[Applause]
second only to the dk rap creepy castle
is the most horrifying part of this
n64 game everything about creepy castle
has an old-school horror vibe to it
right down to the perpetual
dark and stormy night the level comes
complete with all of the hallmarks you'd
expect from a haunted castle
including a library with flying books a
ballroom with a giant chandelier
and a museum full of macabre items
[Music]
of course the best parts of donkey kong
games are always the mine cart rides and
this is where creepy castle
truly shines with gravestones popping up
and a giant crumbling demon trying to
snatch you around every turn
this challenge only amplifies everything
that makes a traditional minecart ride
great
[Music]
number 4 mad monster mansion
banjo-kazooie
before there was creepy castle developer
rare took us to mad
monster mansion considering that
gruntilda is a wicked witch
it makes sense that one of the worlds in
her lair would have a halloween theme
this haunted mansion is overrun with
strange creatures such as a slumbering
ghost
living gravestones and a ghostly hand
that plays the pipe organ
it's not all gloom and doom however
mumbo jumbo gets to try out arguably his
most adorable transformation spell
turning you into a pumpkin that's small
enough to flush down the toilet
pumpkin banjo kazooie would fit in well
with the pumpkin brothers from moody
maze marsh in ukulele
[Music]
[Laughter]
number three the lich yard shovel knight
shovel knight is a love letter to the
side scrolling platforms of the 8-bit
era
the lich yard level in particular feels
deeply indebted to castlevania on the
nes
instead of simon belmont's whip though
you use a shovel to fend off the ghosts
and ghouls that go bump in the night
this level is at its most intense
whenever shovel knight finds himself
shrouded in darkness
relying on flashes of lightning to guide
the way instead of menacing music the
lich yard features an electrifying track
that makes you want to charge
headfirst into an army of tadpole and
bone clangs to take on the spectronite
it's a level that really brings out the
fun side of being scared
number two halloweentown kingdom hearts
series
[Music]
of all the disney worlds in the first
kingdom hearts none stand out quite like
halloweentown
although halloweentown is computer
animated here the programmers capture
the stop-motion style of the 1993
animated feature
as sora donald and goofy team up with
jack skellington
they come across a few familiar locals
from halloween town square and dr
finkelstein's lab to the curly hill
all the while we're treated to a catchy
instrumental version of this is
halloween
plus there are two oogie boogie boss
battles one in his torture chamber and
another that sees him
fuse with his manner in kingdom hearts 2
we not only get to revisit halloweentown
but also
follow jack to christmas town bringing
together the best of both worlds

number one big boos haunt super mario
64.
[Music]
luigi may be the expert on haunted
mansions but mario was the first to
boldly venture into
big boo's haunt although mario games are
known for being colorful and
light-hearted
this level has an unexpected creep
factor to it the chilling music makes it
feel as if a ghost is hovering right
beside you whispering into your ear
the level is remembered for many things
such as the ghost hunt
the merry-go-round room and those giant
eyeballs that won't stop
staring at you yet there's one
particular element that secured big
boo's haunt on our top spot
the mad piano we'll never forget the
first time that seemingly ordinary piano
moved
breaking out those razor-sharp teeth
forget bowser
this is what terror looks like
