Fan theories are always an interesting path to dive down, and its important to remember
that they're just theories.
Now lets get into today's video of the Top 10 Scariest Mario Fan Theories
#10 The Truman Show (show photo https://bit.ly/2wcZaX9)
The Truman show was about a man named Truman Burbank that lived his entire life not knowing
that he was actually part of a massive TV set which was being live broadcasted around
the world.
Theres a similar Mario fan theory that suggests all of the characters are simply actors in
a big stage performance.
This is a widely known fan theory and its downright terrifying when you dig into the
details.
In several of the Mario games there is a camera crew.
There is very little continuity with the games with many of the character switching from
good to evil with no rhyme or reason.
The creator of Super Mario even confirmed that this theory actually has some truth to
it as well.

#9 Wario is A In the world of Mario, hes a huge celebrity.
As in real life where there is celebrities there will be . That's where this creepy fan
theory comes in placing Wario in the super Mario fanboy category.
Mario is well known for saving the Princess and even the Mushroom Kingdom a number of
different times.
Support for this fan theory has been right infront of us the entire time as well.
If you look closely Wario wears the exact same outfit as his celebrity crush, just with
different colors.
I bet he even changed his name to be similar to Marios.
Plus in the giant castle where Wario lives there is an even bigger statue of Mario.
For what purpose other than to be closer to his idol.
#8 Demons in Super Mario That's right you heard me, there are DEMONS
haunting the game Super Mario Galaxy 2.
In the game ontop of a cliff with the only light coming from the stars and the moon you
can make out a group of shadowy figures on the ledge.
Although the game never directly interacts with the characters they are referenced.
The game refers to the mysterious demons as Hell Valley Sky Tree.
As the fan theory goes those creatures are demons from an alternate dimension who have
come to Mario's world to invade it.
As the game progresses the creatures actually get closer to Mario.
Another one of them even appeared in World 4-4 of Super Mario 3D Land.
The fan who came up with this theory believes that these demons are inching closer because
theyre out to get us.
#7 The Luigi The game Luigis Mansion was released back
in 2001 and since its release many fans have speculated on the mysterious shadow that appears
after the flash of lightning.
All of the shadows in the game are dynamic and from the light of Luigi's flashlight the
shadows act accordingly.
However when Luigi answers a phone call, the lightning flash shows a shadow of Luigi floating.
This scary fan theory suggests that the shadow is actually a sign that Luigi committed once.
Others believe that the shadow could also be Bowser because of the way the fortune teller
in the game makes us believe Bowser is deceased.
In our opinion it looks too much like Luigi to be anything else.
#6 Killer Kong Now we all know and love Mario, but most of
us don't ever think about the fact that Mario probably has parents.
This theory dives deep into the lore of Mario and the details are quite disturbing.
In the Donkey Kong games there is a character by the name of Jumpman who looks very similar
to Mario.
That's because Jumpman is actually Mario and Luigis father.
In the final events of Donkey Kong Junior, Mario's father becomes the antagonist of the
game and ultimately dies at the hands of Donkey Kong.
Its been decades of gameplay since this happened, but Mario has never tried to get revenge.
Does he know?
Or is he more of a let bygones be bygones kinda guy.
#5 The Shy Guy Mutation
Not much is known about the Shy Guy characters other than the fact that admittedly they're
a little weird.
There really isn't anything else like them in the games which could suggest that theyre
actually not from the Mario Universe at all.
There's a game in Japan called Doki Doki Panic where the character actually originated from.
A fan theory suggests that these little creatures never remove their masks because of a mutation.
Its possible that they're actually victims of an experiment that left the poor Shy Guys
disfigured to the point where they must now hide behind white masks and big robes.
Or possibly the most disturbing theory is that they have no faces at all.
#4 Mario The Villain A Reddit user seems to take issue with the
way that all of the Mario games are told from the perspective of Mario himself.
It makes the narrative much easier to see him as the good guy and Bowser as the cause
for all of his woes.
The Reddit user says and I quote - Well it is obvious that Mario is a racist pro-human
. In Super Mario Bros 3 its clear that the Princess is married to Bowser.- Going along
with that train of thought this scary fan theory suggests that Mario has a strong disdain
for humans to commingle with the reptiles.
The fan believes a treaty between the two species had been made to gain further knowledge
of also becoming animals.
However Mario now seeks to keep humanity pure and decides to try and kill Bowser along with
his entire family to put the humans back in control.
#3 Collecting Souls This is one of those fan theories that have
been around as well for quite some time and honestly when you think about it, its scary
how much sense it makes.
When you collect coins in the game they ultimately give you extra lives, but why?
Well its believed that the coins you collect are actually lost souls.
Ready to hear the details supporting it?
Okay, you'll never unlearn this.
Turns out the instruction manual for Super Mario Bros 1 says that the people who lived
in the Mushroom Kingdom were turned into bricks, yes the same ones that you smash on your journey.
Turns out the coins that drop out from the bricks are actually the Mushroom Kingdom residents
souls.
#2 Mario The Communist If it felt like a big stretch to believe that
Mario is actually a villain, this one will freak you out even more.
There's a fan theory that believes Mario is actually a Russian Communist.
Yes, plumbers of the world rise up!
Game Theory even did a twelve minute video explaining this whole things.
Ill give you the tea though.
In Super Mario Bros, Mario is rocking a red and black outfit, similar to that of the communist
flag colors.
Even his hat and mustache are eerily similar to that of Joseph Stalin.
Plus whenever he captures a new castle, he lowers their flag and raises one that appears
to have the Communist star on it.

#1 Luigi Is A Traumatized Baby I'm sure most of you are wondering if Luigi
and Mario are brothers how is Mario so much more powerful than Luigi?
Well a little bit of background story for this was shown in Super Mario 2 Yoshi's Island.
Baby Luigi is captured and imprisoned for the majority of the game making him the weaker
and most vulnerable of the brothers from the get-go.
Because of this Mario must act in the face of adversity and even though hes a baby himself
he has to show a brave face.
This game shows how the weak personality of Luigi was developed and perhaps why he depends
on Mario so much.
And that has been the Top 10 Scariest Mario Fan Theories.
