The MARIO ARG/Creepypasta Fully Explained

  • čas přidán 1. 08. 2023
  • Over the course of a month and more, I have delved head-first into the mystery of the MARIO creepypasta of years yonder. What I didn't expect to find is that this rabbit hole would go down deep for 15+ years, involving several different rom hack copies of Mario World, scattershot internet references and web pages, and so much more.
    What I found was a full-blown ARG, and one of the first of its kind - a video game alternate reality game.
    I documented my process through 2 previous uploads you can watch right here:
    Part 1: • M A R I O - The Unsolv...
    Part 2: • The Mario ARG Has Fina...
    This video is simply me putting the both of them together, either for people who've yet to see either videos, or those who would prefer the experience to be consumed in 1 video. Enjoy!

    Somehow M A R I O having homestuck gifs from 2011/2012 on his profile is understandable looking at the entire ARG they did. Same for My little pony gary's mod. Definately the type of individual to come up with this whole story.

    So in recap: A troll kid who really hated mlp (ironic cause he admits to be a brony) and TBBT, made a romhack for fun and started to make stuff up on the track; the entire story makes no sense, and was made to keep the attention of the ARG alive until he got bored and ditched the project entirely. For what it looks like, the romhack and the creator are now infamous around the forums from where it came out, if we tell by that pic depicting them as an idiot (or maybe it was just an angry anon, who knows).

    The “icecreammonkeyfan” video is part of a separate arg by ChainmailChasers. I have seen multiple channels including blameitonjorge use this video as evidence when it’s just a horror project/arg that has nothing to do with the original. Just wanted to let you know.

    Hey Peter, I'm halfway through this, and I think this would be an apt time to mention that the line "20 percent cooler" is a reference to one of Rainbow Dash's more infamous quotes from My Little Pony. You mentioned this main guy posting MLP pictures in gmod, right.. I suggest you take a look at those, since he's now made a direct reference to that in the midst of the mayhem.

    watching this reminds me of the godzilla NES Creepypasta, I remember first being introduced to it on a gmod roleplay server. Our friend convinced us to watch the full hour long reading and we all set up our couchs and other "chairs". That today is probably still my favorite Creepypasta, aswell as one of my favorite online memories.

  • @DomsDumpster
    @DomsDumpster Před 9 měsíci +33

    the hey peter monologue bridge at 30 mins really stalls the entire video. just for constructive criticism, if you ever merge two videos again, you should cut something like that out and just seamlessly blend the two essays; a second video introduction in the middle of the video that we've already been watching for 30+ mins is not necessary. your viewers don't need to be reminded what they're watching and why it's so important that we continue to watch - we've been paying attention if we made it that far.
    all in all this is a good video though and you've done well keeping up with this ARG! im glad to finally see it laid to rest. good reporting, mate, keep it up.

      EXACTLY! Creepypasta is not just any scary thing. It's an internet horror story made to be spread. I'm reluctant to even call r/no_sleep posts and two-sentence horror stories creepypastas, even though those are the closest surviving equivalents. Creepypastas don't really seem to exist in a major way now, the internet has changed so much since those days that spreading a horror story like that is pretty difficult.

      ​@@mothgardener9735It's a mod for Super Mario 64 that sets you in a randomly layed out castle with I believe around 400 rooms and levels. It tries to replicate the style of early versions of the game with sound effects and textures from said early versions. It's very eerie since alot of the rooms and levels are pretty empty or "liminal"
      It also has a whole bunch of easter eggs, with some being horror related.

    when he said i wanted to investigate a creepypastas from his childhood, that reminded me of a couple stories and creepypastas that i tried to find but i cant find but ik are real and i watched, one was about a weird farm games and its name or the game play was about theses cows that made weird star milk or something, in that video their were 2 other stories but i cant remember them, another one was called the mario death whistle. the short of it was that when the guy would play it at time mario would be kill and hooked i think after hearing a whistle, another one was about a kid who kept going from foster home to foster home and to choose the military or the McDonald foster home or something after sometime weird things started to happen and i cant really remember. what i do remember is that at the end the kid (teenager) was in an empty city and was raining and he was telling his story from a laptop he found sitting somewhere. the last one and the one i really wanna find is about this guy whos world started to get over run by this McDonald like company. what would happen is that people would eat the food that was described as looking like gross flesh and organs, and everyone loved it but not the narrator. the narrator said that they refused to eat it, as time when on people who kept eating it for some time would become so fat and big that their heads would come off and float and i think the body would explode. there was this whole thing about him going to the factory where they made the food but i dont really remember. at the end of the story the said that all of the food in the world become this flesh thing and that even in his house that was all that was left and he tried it and he said that it was the best thing he ever ate and it ends.

    if im gonna be honest, as a kid i always thought the MARIO rom was made by a serial killer with a good level of coding and rom making, and basically admitted to killing victim #1 (assuming victim #1 was a real person) and that this was basically his way of admitting / taunting the fact he committed murder and that he was still out there on the run

      Oldroot is technically done, as the creator said that it has a complete story and ending, but that he has no hope for the ARG to be solved, as the codes and puzzles became extremely hard to finish, so he stepped out of the project entirely, prefering that it never gets concluded over needing to explain it himself.

    I took this post from the creepypasta wiki so make of it as you will
    MARIO theory: The player character Mario and the Mario commiting the murders aren't the same
    1st: Mario gets reffered to in 3rd person by the narrator and Yoshi.
    The narrator reffers to Mario in 3rd person. while this might have other reasons, Yoshi introduces themselves to you like you never knew them and reffers to Mario in 3rd person too.
    2nd: Luigi is also different
    While the creepypasta never adresses Luigi, if you play the rom hack in 2 player mode instead of Luigi's sprite having a slight alter unlike Mario's, He's completely different.

    Trolls are such losers. Spending all this time out of hate and disdain is wild. Trolls are the most dangerous because their idealogoy is " its just a prank bro" but taken to nefarious and downright malicous or just well written horror. But its annoying. This was a 14 year old sure but its common nowadays. Lol.

    Something wasn't adding up when "never had a friend like me" started playing. Probably the biggest clue to this being a huge prank, lol.

    why'd, you make one whole video for both? just make a playlist or something. feels like you needed to put something out for views especially since the solved video is like a month old
