Horror Mario
“Enough! You two are annoying me! I'll take care of this myself. I know you're watching this, little rat! And I know you've been waiting for me. Do not fret, cuz I'm closer than you think! We will settle this once and for ALL! Mario will get you next time.”
― Ultra M, telling the audience that V2 is around the corner., Funk Kast trailer
Super Horror Mario,[1] or simply Horror Mario, is the main antagonist of the mod. He originates from an art piece on DeviantArt made by Shadow-Shana.
In Mario's Madness, Horror Mario was an expert in the video game market and partnered with Dearest in the 90s. When Dearest made a lot of money, he betrayed Horror Mario and locked him in a Super Mario Bros. cartridge. After 30 years trapped, Horror Mario discovered the Dearest's family, especially his daughter and son-in-law, and he went to get revenge on Dearest through them by locking them in his world of madness.[5] He is the opponent of the song It's-A-Me and Starman Slaughter, and is the first and last opponent in All-Stars.
Appearance
Horror Mario appears similar to his standard counterpart, but with darker colors. He has blood leaking down his eyes and mouth, the former of which is an empty void with small red pupils, and the latter being fanged. He wields a sharp cleaver knife in his blood-stained hand, and is also taller and paler than normal. His face contorts during his poses and when he laughs. Almost halfway through It's-A-Me, Horror Mario goes crazy, his face starts to melt, and his eyes turn completely black.
In Starman Slaughter, Horror Mario resumes his standard appearance (while snapping) until Yoshi.EXE makes him fall off the platform he's standing on by ground pounding on the background POW Block. After returning, he is shown with a melted body, damaged clothes, his right arm missing, and an expression of anger. During the cutscene after Starman Slaughter, Horror Mario regenerates and returns to normal.
In All-Stars, Horror Mario turns into Ultra M and takes on a more tetric and deformed aspect of original Mario. He now has a very tall and almost skeletal body, four arms (where his gloves are now fused with his hands), black shoes with red details, and dark tentacles protruding from behind his body. Ultra M's eyes are not on his face; instead, they're on his hat, similar to Cappy (as seen in the beginning sequence of All-Stars, where his eyes are visible on most characters seen in the mod). In the third and fourth acts of All-Stars, Ultra M is gigantic in size.
In the main menu, his look resembles that of Mario in old media, most notably his animated iteration (both the Mario OVA and Super Show specifically) with red overalls, a blue shirt, and black hair.
Trivia
- The original artist of Super Horror Mario, Shadow-Shana, is OK with their art being used as long as credit is given. However, it sadly often isn't.
- The original Super Horror Mario artwork was inspired by one of Mario's quotes from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! ("Okey-dokey! Mario will get you next time!").
- Oddly, he wields a cleaver in this mod rather than a kitchen knife like in the original artwork.
- In Metatera's interview, an early version of Horror Mario was revealed where he holds a kitchen knife.
- Since the creation of Horror Mario, Shanna has created other variations including Horror Peach and Horror Daisy. She was also thinking about a Horror Luigi, but he wouldn't be created until a month and a half after V2's release.
- Horror Mario's beta normal icon resembles Speedrunner Mario.
- The creator of Horror Mario has acknowledged the mod.[6]
- This is the fifth major mod where an opponent actually kills BF at the end of the song, with the fourth being Stephanie from Friday Night Funkin': Baddies, the third being Fluttershy from Elements Of Insanity, the second being Shadow from Tails Gets Trolled, and the first being Red from VS. Impostor.
- Horror Mario is one of the three opponents in the mod who has more than one song, the other two being MX and I HATE YOU Luigi.
- Although the name Horror Mario is known, he still calls himself Mario.
- According to an conversation between y0ucannotbeatus on Twitter and Marco, Ultra M is mostly just Super Horror Mario fused with the other characters from the mod because they belong to him, with Marco comparing the way he morphs to "how the gems from Steven Universe do so".[4]
- None of the other characters in the fusion die, but they're still slaves to Mario.[4]
- It is not known if the characters not present in the opening cutscene of All-Stars are also part of Ultra M, but its most likely that they are.
- In that same conversation between y0ucannotbeatus on Twitter and Marco, it was revealed that the only soul Horror Mario managed to collect was GF's, but according to Marco, "that's a story for another day".[4]
- Mario seems to know what's going on in the real world, whether the game is on, off, disconnected, it doesn't matter.
- We can see this when he references Monster, Hypno, Suicide Mouse, and Springtrap. He also somehow knows when Pico arrives at Boyfriend's house despite Pico not interfering with the cartridge or console whatsoever.
- In the old concept as Ultra M, Mario's color scheme is taken from his sprite from the original Super Mario Bros. He also didn't have his eyes on his hat akin to Cappy, but instead on his face according to his icon.
- Outside of appearance, Horror Mario's major inspiration is the CoolRash Mario.EXE.

Horror Peach
“Lovely Princess”
― Super Horror Princess Peach
Super Horror Peach is a horrific version of Peach originating from another art piece by Shadow-Shana, serving as a counterpart to Super Horror Mario. She appears during the middle of Starman Slaughter alongside Yoshi.EXE, temporarily taking Horror Mario's place.
In Mario's Madness, Horror Peach is one of the many creatures that inhabit the Horror Mario cartridge. Along with Yoshi.EXE, she sabotaged and burned Horror Mario to take on BF and GF, both of whom were killed after a few turns of singing by Super Horror Mario. Horror Peach's soul was used to form Ultra M.

In Mario's Madness, Yoshi.EXE is one of the many creatures that inhabit the Horror Mario cartridge. Yoshi.EXE, allied with Horror Peach, betrayed Horror Mario by throwing him into the fire to confront Boyfriend, however, they were killed by Mario. Yoshi.EXE's soul was used to form Ultra M.
Appearance
Yoshi.EXE resembles Yoshi's original appearance, but with darker skin, black eyes with glowing red pupils, sharp white teeth, three slashes across his chest and a more realistic lizard tongue that's always sticking out. He is also covered in blood; moreso then Horror Mario and Peach.
Trivia

Omega
“GYAAAAAH!”
― Omega, All-Stars
Omega[7] is an EXE based on Tanooki Mario created by Sandi and co-owned by Marco Antonio. He was created by Ultra M to distract BF.[8] He appears in Act 2 of All-Stars.
Appearance
Omega is a large and creepy version of Raccoon Mario from Super Mario Bros. 3, with a slim body, a raccoon tail, raccoon ears that are attached to his head, and the same outfit as Mario's sprite in Super Mario Bros. 3 (red shirt, shoes, and hat and black overalls), though his buttons are four-pointed stars instead of circles and his hat has the Omega symbol on it instead of Mario's usual emblem. He has a creepy smile that reveals his teeth and hides the upper part of his face, showing only his eyes, which can change turning into a single eye or become static. Close to his gloves are tufts of black hair that run up his arms.
Trivia
- Sandi has revealed that Omega has a more "showman-esque" personality, with them citing Caine from The Amazing Digital Circus as an example. They also stated that Omega can be a little goofy some times.[9]
- It is unknown what happened to Omega after fulfilling his objective, though it's most likely he was assimilated by Ultra M as his icon appears in All-Stars Act 4.
- Omega is possibly a demon, as it was revealed that he is an "offshoot" belonging to Horror Mario, a demonic entity.

Trivia
- Interestingly enough, Y0SH is the only one of Omega's three creations that has two eyes, as LG and W4R both only sport one.
- His placeholder idle turns him into a bouncing image of a fat Yoshi from Super Mario RPG.

Chris Pratt
“It's-a me... A-Mario. That's not the voice, you'll have to wait to hear the voice.”
― Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt is a famous Hollywood actor known for roles such as Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy and Owen Grady from the Jurassic World films. His appearance in this mod is based on his role as Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, specifically the reveal of said role in the 9.23.2021 Nintendo Direct that was met with utter shock and disbelief across the internet. He is the opponent of the song So Cool.
Appearance
Chris Pratt appears as a headshot of himself in a grayscale tone, much like how it appeared in the Direct that announced the Mario Movie. He holds a dark microphone on his right hand outside the box. Whenever he says Mario's line, he pops out of the box with Mario's nose, hat, and moustache over his nose. His old appearance is less detailed, as noted by having longer white eyes and a different style with thicker lines.

Grand Dad
“I'm confused. Why do people always comment "Grand Dad" on my uploads? Are they trying to tag their grandfathers? That's not how it works.”
― SiIvaGunner, Twitter
Want to know more about Grand Dad?
Looking for another Grand Dad? Check out 7 GRAND DAD (disambiguation).
7 GRAND DAD is a bootleg NES title that is a reskin of the game The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy that replaces Fred Flintstone's head with Mario's head. It became a wildly popular meme due to Vinesauce Joel's shocked reaction to its bizarre title screen, and is also an iconic fixture of SiIvaGunner's high-quality rips, as well as a character in the Weegee lore. The Mario seen on said title screen (itself a reskin of another bootleg Mario named Fortran), often just called Grand Dad, is also a character in the mod, being the opponent in the song Nourishing Blood.
Appearance
7 Grand Dad appears as a recolored Mario with pale white skin, blue outlines, hair and pupils, red teeth and a darker red inner shirt under peach colored overalls. His hat is of the same color as his shirt but has a blue colored "wáng" (王) on the center. He lastly wields a white microphone. In his poses, he sometimes swings a brown club and has Fred Flinstone in a star beside him.
In the pixel section, he becomes akin to the actual bootleg, appearing as Fred Flintstone with Mario's head. He wields both a mic and club of the same color that he occasionally slams down.
Trivia
- Grand Dad has multiple iterations.
- In the Weegee Lore, Grand Dad is actually a clone of Fortran (from Dian Shi Ma Li).
- In the SiIvaGunner lore, he's the hero of Grandiose City and the top meme.
- In the RED-FIRE continuity, he's an alien who rebelled against his fellow aliens to protect Earth.
- The official music video of "Nourishing Blood" appears on SiIvaGunner's "Liked videos" playlist.
- Grand Dad's up pose is a reference to his appearance in the title screen. This pose is often used by SiIvaGunner.
- His down pose resembles how attacking in the original Flintstones game has Fred slam down his club. Oddly enough, it swaps with his right pose in the pixel section.
- Each pixel sprite references a quirk seen in the original bootleg.
- The up pose now has a beard-like line that indicates Fred's mouth area. The same quirk is seen when he jumps.
- The right pose has him look straight ahead rather than slightly down. The same case occurs when attacking in the bootleg.
- The down pose has him look at the player. The same thing happens when you crouch in the game.
- All of the background cameos in Nourishing Blood reference a different aspect of Grand Dad:
- Bonzi and Protegent reference the Windows Destruction streams by Joel.
- The Super Ghostbusters logo is a nod to Joel's own album.
- Kermit the Frog references Joel's impersonations of his dad.
- While not directly related, Skelethor could be a nod to how Joel's full username is Vargskelethor Joel.
- Kung Fu Mari (Super Bros 10.), Adventure Mario (Super Bros. 11), and Samurai Mario (Super Mario 14) were also featured in the same cartridge as Grand Dad.
- Smol Nozomi and Loud Nigra are the other two memes that kickstarted SiIvaGunner alongside Grand Dad.

Somari
“So I guess it's okay to be in Sonic's world, but you don't speak Mario's name. That's not Mario, that's Somari: The adventurer! Show some respect, remember the name!”
― Spacehamster, BOOTLEG MARIO GAMES on the Famicom/NES
Somari is a combination of Mario and Sonic who starred in the infamously bad bootleg NES game of the same name. He is the opponent of the song MARIO SING AND GAME RYTHM 9.
Appearance
Somari appears similar to Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3, except his clothes are a lighter color than normal, he wears Sonic-styled shoes, and his body shape lines up more with Sonic's appearance.
In the cover style, he looks exactly like the normal Mario.
Trivia
- The name of MARIO SING AND GAME RYTHM 9 is based on the bizarre, nonsensical titles of various bootleg games similar to Somari, which often use poor grammar and big numbers as if they were sequels to official games.
- Strangely, Somari has miss poses, an animation of him getting shot, and him in beach attire in his sprite sheet, all of which go unused in the mod.
- Somari's poses are references to ones Sonic does in certain pieces of promotional artwork.
- His left pose references this piece of artwork from the Sonic Channel.
- His down pose references the box art for Sonic Adventure. He also does the pose in the Freeplay artwork for in MARIO SING AND GAME RYTHM 9.
- His up pose references the box arts for the original Sonic the Hedgehog.
- His right poses references Sonic's character render from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

Beta Luigi
“MARIOOOOOO!”
― Luigi yelling for Mario, Luigi's Mansion
Beta Luigi is Luigi's appearance in the Game Over screen for the beta version of Luigi's Mansion, where he fails to save Mario and falls into a depressive episode. He is the opponent of the song Alone.
Appearance
Beta Luigi has incredibly pale skin, soulless white eyes with dark bags, and a depressed look on his face. In the beginning of "Alone", he appears sitting down, holding a small white flower in his hand. After he stands up, his posture is quite awkward, with his legs being crossed at all times. His old look has his face less baggy and round.
Trivia
- When thunder rumbles during the song, Boyfriend's shadow appears to be hanging from a noose. This is a reference to a lighting error in the original Luigi's Mansion that made Luigi look like his shadow was hanging itself.
- This led some to believe Luigi was dead during the events of the game, but this has since been disproven.
- The flower he's holding references a piece of official artwork for Luigi's Mansion, showing him holding the same flower while sitting down, miserable.

Beta Mario
“Luigi... Where did you go?
I'm stranded... Lost and alone...
Luigi... Where did you go?Luigi: Oh... Mario...”
― Beta Mario, Alone
Beta Mario is a depiction of Mario after his fate was sealed by King Boo. He's a figment of Beta Luigi's depressive imagination, being a dramatization of the green plumber's brother's misfortune caused by King Boo.[13]
Appearance
Beta Mario has pale skin, blank white eyes surrounded by black shadow, and faded clothing. He's encased in a faded brown framed portrait with a dark blue glow surrounding it.
Trivia
- Beta Mario is one of the many characters to have lyrics mid-song.
- His appearance is strongly based on the painting where Mario was captured by King Boo, as well as simulating a ghost with his ghost eyes and tail.

I HATE YOU Luigi
“You thought Koopa worked alone?”
― Luigi revealing himself, OH GOD NO
I HATE YOU Luigi is a character created by Slimebeast for the I HATE YOU creepypasta. In the original creepypasta, Luigi develops a hatred for Mario and joins Bowser's side in order to kill him. However, Mario ends up killing Luigi by knocking him into lava, turning him into a living corpse. He is the opponent of the songs Oh God No and I Hate You.
Appearance
In Oh God No, Luigi appears like he did in Super Mario World's "THE END" screen, but with an expression of anger and envy on his face. In I HATE YOU, Luigi is charred beyond recognition. His hat is tarnished, having a large hole on its side. His skin is burned off as a result of him falling into lava, revealing his red, burnt flesh. His face is beyond unrecognizable, having only one sunken eyeball and no nose or lips. However, his moustache has somehow remained intact, only being somewhat unkempt. His overalls and shirt have slash marks, revealing more of his charred flesh.
In the "Call Luigi" prompt, he wears the builder outfit from Mario Maker 2.
Trivia
- The ROM hack based on the story became incredibly popular, far surpassing the audience of the original creepypasta. However, it should be made clear that the ROM hack is not the original version of I HATE YOU.
- The original creepypasta was written to make fun of other pastas by overusing tropes, but it ended up being more popular than the author expected.
- Unlike his original appearance, in which he lost his right eye, here Luigi loses his left eye after burning alive.
- The lava that appears during I Hate You is a reference to Luigi's fate in the creepypasta, in which he got knocked into the lava by Mario.
- As the song progresses, eyeless Boos and drowned Mario corpses appear in the background. These are enemies that appear in the I HATE YOU creepypasta and ROM hack.
- The "I HATE YOU!" text on the walls is also a reference to the original creepypasta.
- Slimebeast has seen the mod and made a sequel to I HATE YOU in response to its new-found popularity, written by an AI. He even states in the video’s title "AKA That Mario creepypasta from Friday Night Funkin'".[14]
- During Oh God No, a mushroom note can be found, and hitting it will cause a jumpscare. This is a reference to the EXE version of the game, where touching a mushroom before Luigi's boss fight will cause multiple jumpscares to appear.
- IHY Luigi's jumpscare is actually an audio of a Hispanic youtuber, Luisardo, shouting "CAUSA".
- If a player loses in Oh God No and backs out to the overworld from the retry screen or after retrying, it will cause the Woodland of Lies to change, having a different overworld track and red water. The latter is a reference to the ROM hack based on the creepypasta, where the mushroom before the Luigi fight would kill Mario and change the overworld to have a complete, blood red hue, while the water was saturated to look like blood.
- His death in I HATE YOU is parallel to his death in the ROM Hack, ranging from falling to his knees in defeat to being knocked into the lava by Boyfriend using the Cape Feather.
- However, it's implied that Mario killed him the same way after OH GOD NO as he had a cape in the cutscene.
- This variant of IHY Luigi seems be a fan of Friday Night Funkin', serving as the game's botplay and also defending the mod's devs in the mod's final teaser.
- The usage of this Luigi in Botplay could be a reference to the Super Guide seen in NSMBWii, NSMBU, and Mario Maker 2; where a computer-controlled Luigi beats the level.

L is Real
“Eternal Star”
― Another (lesser known) supposed message found at the Castle Courtyard's Statue
Want to know more about L is Real?
L is Real is a character based on a long-standing urban legend surrounding Super Mario 64. The L is Real rumors center mainly around the text on the fountain in the Castle Courtyard, which many interpreted as "L is Real 2401". This lead many to believe there was a way to unlock Luigi in some fashion. With the rise in popularity of the "Mario 64 is Personalized" rumors, more horrific versions of the L is Real rumor were since created. He is the opponent of the song Thalassophobia and the scrapped song Drowned.
Appearance
L is Real resembles Luigi with a couple of differences, such as vines holding him down and his eyes covered by darkness. Blood leaks from his mouth as he gasps for air, trying to escape the depths of the fountain.
Trivia
- Luigi's scrapped model was found nearly 24 years and 1 month after the original game's release, coincidentally lining up with the fountain's supposed message.
- L is Real's idle is mostly hidden from the player.
- Years later, a Super Mario 64 DS was released, a new version of the original game for the Nintendo 64. This version includes Luigi along with Wario and Yoshi.
- Curiously, there was a rumor that Waluigi could be unlocked in the same game, a rumor similar to L is Real.

Wario Apparition
“Obey Wario… DESTROY MARIO!”
― Wario hypnotizing the viewer, Super Mario Land 2 Commercial
Want to know more about the Wario Apparition?
The Wario Apparition is a floating apparition of Wario's head. It initially appeared during Nintendo's "Focused on Fun" segment in E3 1995, preparing the audience for Nintendo's main presentation. Many years later, it was popularized by the Mario 64 horror community due to a creepypasta based on the theory that every copy of the original Super Mario 64 is personalized, and that there exists a cursed beta version of the game from July 29, 1995. Allegedly, the Wario Apparition materialized in Mario 64 out of people’s desires to see Wario in the game, and it caused horrific mental trauma upon those who saw it. He is the opponent of the song Apparition and the now used Forbidden Star in the Legacy section in Freeplay.
Appearance
The Wario Apparition is a vision of Wario's giant, floating, disembodied head. He has brown hair, white manic eyes, blue accents to the sides of his eyes, a pink nose, a zigzagging black moustache, and wears a yellow hat with a blue W on it. In his left pose, his eyes turn into green hypnotic spirals. This also goes for when he starts speaking.
Trivia
- Despite being created in a serious creepypasta, the Wario Apparition is more so remembered as a meme nowadays.
- Wario Apparition's left pose is a reference to a commercial for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, where he tries to hypnotize the viewer to destroy Mario. The same reference is used in his artwork and the Endless Stairs reference.
- This also coincidentally happens to be another official appearance of Wario's disembodied head, way before E3 1995, as well as being Wario's debut in Mario Bros. franchise.

Turmoil
“Oh, Luigi. There's no need to worry. I can assure you I have no interest in what you have to offer. My only interest is in those who choose to wrong me.”
― Turmoil
Turmoil is an EXE created by ScrubbDubb. He used to be Mario until he accidentally ingested a mushroom containing Yoshi's code. He has since turned into a blind beast who feeds upon his enemies. He is the opponent of the song Last Course.
Appearance
Turmoil appears as a small version of Mario with large beady eyes, yellow teeth, and dark gray gloves. He looks similar to Mario in Super Mario World, but has no overalls button or emblem on his hat. He also has a long Yoshi-like tongue that he sticks out to catch his prey and eat them.
Trivia
- The Last Course selection icon shows Turmoil wearing the Magic Cape as a hood, revealing only his teeth and one eye. His other appearance with the magic cape is in the cinematic during the beginning of All-Stars.
- This version of Turmoil was retconned. His current version is a yōkai who uses Mario's form.[16]

Coronation Day Peach
“I believe I am the god of this forest. Are you looking for me?”
― Coronation Peach, 'the
Coronation Day Peach is the main antagonist of the popular ROM hack 'the, also known as Coronation Day. One day, Peach wandered into a forest, where she either killed herself or was killed by a mysterious entity. She, or an entity of unknown origin, now inhabits the forest. She is the opponent of the song Dark Forest.
Appearance
Coronation Day Peach looks similar to the original Peach, only with black eyes and a wide smile. She also appears pretty demonic, with curved horns, a tattered dress, and growing plants in place of her arms. She also floats in the air. In the final seconds of Dark Forest, Peach begins to glitch.
Trivia
- It's unknown whether Coronation Day Peach is Princess Peach herself or another entity that inhabited the forest in her image (or perhaps took her body).
- Some evidence that suggests it isn't Peach is when Coronation Day Peach refers to himself as the "KING OF THIS FOREST!" She also refer to herself as the "God of the Forest" prior to the chase.
- Notably, numerous pieces of dialogue from the original hack refer to a male entity in bold red text as "HE", otherwise known as the "king". It's heavily implied that this is the being that has taken over Peach's body somehow, though the specifics are unclear.
- Some evidence that suggests it isn't Peach is when Coronation Day Peach refers to himself as the "KING OF THIS FOREST!" She also refer to herself as the "God of the Forest" prior to the chase.
- Coronation Day Peach's appearance in this mod is based on the unused "Pink Forest" sequence in 'the, where she floats above a pit right before the game crashes.
- Unlike her appearance in that level, her size in the mod is much closer to those of her other appearances in the ROM hack.
- In the Dark Forest scenario files, you can find an image from Redroomer's channel with the name "claramente tu debes estar aqui", which translates as "clearly you must be here".
- This suggests that somehow Coronation Day Peach was included in the mod since Redbroomer has videos talking about Coronation Day. If this is true, it would be a similar case to Mr. Virtual.

Super Bad Mario
“Yeah! Hah-hah hah!”
― Mario, Super Bad Mario - Episode 1
Super Bad Mario is a version of Mario from the titular YouTube series by Pastek, in which Mario is edited over various fail videos to make it seem like he caused them. He is the opponent of the song Bad Day.
Appearance
Super Bad Mario directly uses Mario's Super Mario World sprites.
Trivia
- There were only two official episodes of Super Bad Mario.
- As such, Luigi's appearance in Episode 2 makes him the only other character to appear in the series.

- Towards the end of Bad Day, Mario does a dance taken straight from a well-known GIF animation.
- His sprite sheet features a sprite of him as BBG Sans.
- His gimmick of moving the player's arrows and getting rid of the health bar changes depending on your scroll.
- If you play upscroll, he'll spin jump on the arrow from above, moving them down before he spin jumps off the health bar, knocking it down in the process.
- If you play downscroll, he'll jump and hit the arrows from below, moving them upwards before knocking the health bar down by kicking a Koopa Shell at it.
- Originally, the Poison Mushroom he throws would've changed the player's keybinds if hit.
- This was scrapped since the devs felt it was too unfair.

Luigi's Day Out Mario
“The plans of a young rebellious Mario were thwarted when his mother asked him to take his brother with him, being quite childish and gullible, barely in his 30s. Now he is forced to hang out with his friends accompanied by his unbearable geek brother.”
― Pause menu, Day Out
Luigi's Day Out Mario is one of the main characters of the 2014 YouTube animation Luigi's Day Out, by hotdiggedydemon. In the video, Mario is a rebellious manchild who dresses and acts like a teenager and is forced by his mother to take his brother, Luigi, to "save Peach from Bowser". However, he instead decides to trick Luigi into dying in various ways for his own amusement. He is the opponent of the song Day Out.

― Bowser speaking on Mario’s actions in an interview, Secret History of Super Mario Bros
Secret History Mario is a version of Mario originating from the Mashed video Secret History of Super Mario Bros. He is a cold-hearted dictator who rules the Mushroom Kingdom with an iron fist, having killed hundreds of innocents, enslaved thousands, paved over the natural lands and ruined countless people’s lives... Of course, Nintendo's PR covers this all up.
In Mario's Madness, he presumably forced Boyfriend and Girlfriend to sabotage their own game's Kickstarter to avoid competition for the Super Mario games, but captures them when he finds out the game still has merchandise. He is the opponent in the song DICTATOR.
Appearance
Unlike how Mario usually appears to the public, Secret History Mario wears a dark blue suit with a red tie and his eyes have a yellow hue to them. He's usually seen with a cigar.
Trivia
- His voice is deeper here in comparison to his original appearance.
- In the Harry Potter episode, the titular character transformed an unknown person into this particular Mario.
- With this, it's unknown if Secret History Mario's actions are on purpose, if he's manipulated by the same wizards who manipulated him, or if he's even the real Mario.

Racist Mario
Racist Mario is the titular villain of the 2014 YouTube animation Racist Mario by Flashgitz. In the video, he has grown sick of non-Nintendo characters appearing in Mario Kart, and tries to murder them (and eventually everybody else) out of irrational hatred comparable to racism. He is the opponent of the song Race-Traitors.“23 years of jumping barrels, 23 FUCKING YEARS!!”
― Mario, before shoving a banana up Donkey Kong’s ass, Racist Mario
Appearance
Racist Mario has an absolutely furious facial expression. He drives the Standard Kart as it appears in Mario Kart 8, complete with his emblem on it.
Trivia
- Racist Mario's old vocals are sourced from various voice clips in Super Mario Sunshine. They are now from the animation in V2.
- Racist Mario shows up in Console Wars - NINTENDO vs SEGA's thumbnail (or at least in the same art style), but not in the video itself.
- Racist Mario is the only V1 character who didn't get redesigned in V2.
- The reason for this is because of Marco Antonio losing the FLA files related to his redesign.
- Kratos shows up at the end of the song and kills Racist Mario (and maybe even Boyfriend and Girlfriend) off-screen.

GB
“But the trailer says October 2022.”
― GB, GB telling IHY Luigi about the previous release date, moments before engaging into a brawl.
GB is an EXE made by Marco Antonio. He is based off of Mario's appearance in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. He is specifically from a bootleg pirate copy of Super Mario Land, but his true origins are unknown. He likes to play with his victims who dare play his game. He can even manifest in his players' heads and come into the real world. However, mostly chooses not to, as he believes limiting himself makes things more fun. He is the opponent of the song Golden Land.
Appearance
GB looks similar to the original Mario, albeit grayscale and pixelated. However, he has a shadow covering his eyes.
In his true form, GB has a massive, disgusting smile and blood leaking from his mouth, making a pose with his right hand on his hip and his microphone has been moved from his right hand to his left hand. His eyes appear as empty sockets with realistic eyes sitting within them. His mustache also curls more aggressively and extends all the way up to his cap. In his right pose, he lacks teeth, with fleshy tendrils connecting the top and bottom of his mouth.
Trivia
- GB didn't exist before Mario's Madness.[23]
- It was once thought that GB stood for Game Boy, but it's since been confirmed that it is just GB, like how MX is just MX.[24]
- GB was made because Marco Antonio wanted to make an EXE based on his favorite Mario game. He also comments that "GB was created while i was shitting lol".[25]
- GB and Horror Mario used to be the same person, but that has since changed, and he is his own character.[26]
- GB can travel to other Mario games and corrupt them.[27]
- GB can even go to newer Mario games.[28]
- GB used to be more powerful than Horror Mario.[29] However, this was reversed in Mario's Madness V2 with Ultra M taking control of him in All-Stars.
- His eye in the 4th outdated remaster was removed because Marco hated it.[30]
- Ironically, his All-Stars icon bears a resemblance to that remaster as the eye placement is identical to it.
- Interestingly, his legacy icon set only has a losing state for his revealed form. However, this was flipped around in his modern icon set which now only has a losing state for his disguised form.
- Before V2.0.1, his idle wasn't set to loop properly. This made his idle not as smooth as it is now.
- GB seems to hate the mod for some reason, saying the mod is never coming out and trashing the devs in the final teaser.
- Even after release he is shown to double down on his statement, saying that it only released because he "Roasted their asses in front of one thousand people".
- It's most likely he acts this way because he was originally going to have a full week and was gonna be the opponent of the final song before said full week was scrapped and Ultra M replaced him in the final song which became All Stars.
- Even after release he is shown to double down on his statement, saying that it only released because he "Roasted their asses in front of one thousand people".
- Marco Antonio made a new set of designs for GB on Mar10 Day, which are meant for a rewrite of Black and White. The new designs have nicknames for his different forms.[31]

DJ Hallyboo
“Ladies and gentlemen! Let's give a warm welcome... To the fool who thought they were above the law.”
― DJ Hallyboo, Host Hoedown WITH LYRICS
DJ Hallyboo is the main antagonist of Joey Perleoni's Mario Party DS Anti Piracy series. As the normally unseen host of Mario Party DS (and a strange offshoot of MC Ballyhoo from Mario Party 8), he resides in pirated copies of the game as a secret impossible boss in order to teach pirates a painful lesson. He is the opponent of the song No Party.
Appearance
DJ Hallyboo looks similar to Ballyhoo, but has many differences. He has black hands, a light blue cylinder-shaped head with a round nose and orange lips, and small glowing red eyes that usually hide underneath his top hat (which, unlike Big Top, has a sinister smiling face). He wears a dark indigo shirt with a red necktie, black and white-striped sleeves, and emerald cufflinks with gold trims.
Trivia
- His creation and origin are unknown, but he is far too powerful to be a simple anti-piracy program.
- DJ Hallyboo's voice actor, Juno Songs, originally voiced the character in a fanmade lyrical video before becoming his actual voice actor in the series proper.
- Juno Songs reprises his role in the mod itself[33], voicing DJ Hallyboo's game over quotes.
- The name of his hat is Tigbop.[34]

Mr. Virtual
“What's the matter, boy...? Don't you recognize your own GIRLFRIEND?”
― Mr. Virtual taunting BF during Paranoia
Want to know more about Mr. Virtual?
Mr. Virtual is a Mario horrorbrew created by Stupendous Snart, and the antagonist of the upcoming horror series Curse of the Crimson Phantom. Once a human serial killer simply known as V, he was gunned down by Detective Thomas Anderson near a display stand for the Virtual Boy at E3 1995. His spirit now haunts the Virtual Boy his blood spilled on; waiting for unsuspecting victims to play the console so he can mentally torture them and use their skin as a vessel with which to kill Detective Anderson. He is the opponent of Paranoia.
Appearance
Mr. Virtual is a gangly, entirely red-and-black version of Mario with various horrific features, including realistic eyes that can detach from their sockets, a wide smile showcasing his pearly whites and incredibly flexible, skinny limbs. His cap has a "V" on it instead of an "M" like Mario's cap. He also has long black hair, which isn't present in the mod due to that detail being added after the mod's release. His mustache in the mod is also more well kempt then in his current design, where it seems to be burnt at the ends.
During the middle of Paranoia, he transforms into a form resembling Girlfriend, albeit with messier hair and his eyes, mouth and red-and-black color scheme.
Trivia
- If it wasn't for Redbromer's Mr. Virtual FNF concept video, he wouldn't be in this mod.[35]
- His old Girlfriend transformation spritesheet has the message "Como la spritesheet es re larga, aquí se supone que hucezam a la GF" (translating to "Since the sprite sheet is long, here we are supposed to focus on the GF") during the last few frames, likely because the camera pans away from him at this point in the animation.
- No such message is present in his V2 spritesheet.
- His old design as been nicknamed "Albert", and all the content that used this design is no longer canon.
- Mr. V is officially in a group with MX and Executable M/the All-Father named "the Men in Red".[36]

Mr. L
“After being mistakenly thrown into a pit of lava by his own brother, Luigi's vengeful spirit has returned. With his omnipotence and reality bending powers he wreaks havoc on the Mushroom Kingdom and it's inhabitants. After killing Mario in the same way he was killed, he plans on giving you the same treatment.”
― Pause menu, Overdue
Mr. L is the main antagonist of Too Late.exe, an EXE game created by Mr. Pixel. After Luigi was accidentally killed by Mario in a lava pit, he became a horrific, demented spirit and tormented his brother with strange and grotesque visions, eventually knocking him into the same lava pit Luigi died in long ago. He is the opponent of the song Overdue.
Appearance
Mr. L's faker form looks almost like Luigi's appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3, only his limbs appear slightly longer and his colors are muted. His true form resembles Luigi in appearance, but with notable differences. He's larger, his limbs are very elongated, and the buttons on his overalls and the emblem of his cap are red. He has only two dots for eyes and his mouth is exaggeratedly large.
Trivia
- It was once theorized that the story of Too Late.exe is related to the creepypasta I HATE YOU due to Luigi's death in the lava.
- However Mr. Pixel has confirmed the story of Too Late.exe is unrelated to I HATE YOU.
- The alias "Mr. L" is the same one used by Luigi during Super Paper Mario while being brainwashed.
- Interestingly, both times Luigi went by that name he served as an antagonist.
- Mr. L seems to be aware that he is in a video game.
- Originally, the devs stated that Mr. L wasn't going to be the mod, wanting to keep his inclusion a surprise.
- They were forced to reveal him early after old gameplay of Overdue was leaked.
- He is the only character in the mod that doesn't fight Boyfriend.

MX
“LUCAS...”
― MX, Mario '85 demo
MX is the main antagonist of Mario '85, a new take on the concept of Mario.EXE heavily inspired by Sonic (PC PORT). Sitting within an abandoned copy of Super Mario Bros., MX takes the souls of those who play the game so that he can "play" with them for all eternity. He is the opponent of the songs Powerdown and Demise.
Appearance
In his False Hero form, MX looks almost like how Mario appeared in the original "Super Mario Bros.", albeit with a few differences; his clothes are of a darker shade and he has blank, empty eyes and no buttons on his overalls. After his transformation, MX is now taller, wider, and bulkier, his outfit now consisting of a black shirt, dark brown shoes, and dark red overalls and hat with a pixelated emblem over. He also now sports white skin, black hair and moustache, big, blocky teeth, and pitch black pupiless eyes, making him look almost skeletal.
Prior to V2 (now in Legacy), the colors of his shirt and overalls were swapped, he had buttons on his overalls, wore gloves, and small white pupils could sometimes be seen in his eye sockets. He was also way shorter and stouter in appearance compared to V2.
In the first half of Vessel, MX is in his False Hero form, appearing more like Mario with the colors of the Mario '85 sprites, his cap covers his sockets, and his mustache is tousled. In his real form, he doesn't change much in his representation in Mario's Madness V1, with the only noticeable difference being that the colors of his outfit are in the correct places.
Trivia
- MX's left pose is a reference to Mario's skidding sprite in Super Mario Bros.
- Additionally, all of his poses in Demise are identical to his poses in SMB Funk Mix: Game Over when he chases BF after transforming into his true form.
- The reason why Frazz made Marco fix MX's color (as well as why he wears a black shirt and red overalls) was to avoid making his sprite blend in with the black sky.[45]
- When MX isn't trying to kill someone, he adopts Mario's mannerisms around others. So while he wouldn't be invested in a relationship, he would definitely be a gentleman.[46]
- In fanon, RazzDazzleDoo supports Powerforest, which ships MX with Coronation Day Peach. [47]
- MX's clothes are flesh infused.[48]
- MX doesn't wear gloves, but Frazzdude doesn't say anything about it because most fanart depicting MX with gloves "[looks] cool anyway".[49]
- MX's "WAHOOOOO!" originates from the chase scene in Level 1-1 of Mario '85. When he falls into a pit, the game stops, leading the player to believe he died within the pit. However, MX then jumps out of the pit and continues chasing Lucas, screaming said phrase.
- He does something similar during Powerdown; towards the end of the song, the music quiets down and fades to black as he says "INNOCENCE DOESN'T GET YOU FAR." before he shouts "WAHOOOOO!" once more and enters the final part of the song.
- In the current demo, he doesn't say the innocence line to Lucas. Instead, he gives a hint to the Warp Pipe that appears at the beginning of 1-1.
- He does something similar during Powerdown; towards the end of the song, the music quiets down and fades to black as he says "INNOCENCE DOESN'T GET YOU FAR." before he shouts "WAHOOOOO!" once more and enters the final part of the song.
- MX can use power-ups despite them being of little to no use.[50]
- McDonald's Sprite is one of MX's greatest weaknesses.[51][52]
- MX staring at the screen towards the end of Powerdown references the moment in Mario '85 where he talks to Lucas after the player reaches the end of the level.
- MX is not an EXE, contrary to popular belief.[53]
- MX's False Hero form used to look exactly like Mario, but became distorted after having been used for too long.
- Mario's Madness is the official MX mod.
- Despite replacing Mario in the cartridge, MX follows enemy palette rules, hence why he turns blue in the Underground section of Demise.
- MX is officially in a group with Mr. V. and Executable M/the All-Father named "the Men in Red".[54]

Promotion Mario
“choo choo”
― Mario, The music video thumbnail
Mario, also know as Promotion Mario, is the host of the supposedly cancelled show Nintendo Mania in Super Mario 64: CLASSIFIED's universe. He is the first opponent of the song Promotion.
Appearance
Promotion Mario appears as a 3D render of Mario behind a desk hosting the first episode of Nintendo Mania. He has the same attributes from his original appearance aside from having a bigger moustache and a very friendly look on his face as he holds a mic up in the air. When Luigi's drowned body appears in the TV, he stops smiling and instead stands still with an unchanging (yet seemingly depressed) blank stare.
Trivia
- The reason as to why Promotion Mario's model from the pre-Promotion cutscene doesn't get used (as well as BF and GF's models from said cutscene) is because the cutscene was made long after the development on the song was done with. The team just thought the cutscene would be a fun addition.
Stanley
“I can go away. I want to go. Please.”
― Stanley, SM64 Classified, Epilogue
The artificial intelligence of CLASSIFIED, created under the name auto_enhance,[57] also known under the self-named Stanley,[58] is the main anti-villain of Annielogue's Super Mario 64: CLASSIFIED series, a series of videos based on the "Every Copy of Super Mario 64 is Personalized" creepypasta. He is the second opponent of the song Promotion.
Unlike other interpretations of the personalization A.I. from the original story, Stanley is a cynical, suicidally depressed intelligence acutely aware that he is being used to harm humans with a power that he cannot control. Though CLASSIFIED initially appears to be a story about Stanley searching for a player to shut himself down and thus prevent this power from being unleashed upon the world, the ending reveals his threat was neutralized near the beginning of the story by a man named Jim that had previously been coerced into awakening him. However, Jim began to grow obsessed with Stanley's powers out of repressed trauma and guilt, forcing Stanley to spend over a year in a state of constant pain and isolation while also trying to convince Jim to let go of his burdens and allow Stanley himself to pass on.
Appearance
Stanley's default appearance is the textureless Mario Anomaly, a version of Mario's model in Super Mario 64 without his eyes, emblem, buttons, and m0ustache. Owing to the analog horror nature of CLASSIFIED, he often appears oversaturated or with heavy amounts of chromatic aberration. While not used in Promotion proper, this appearance is used in during the pre-Abandoned cutscene and the Game Over screen for the Classified Castle songs.
Stanley also has the ability to use other models of Mario as vessels when necessary. His most common secondary appearance is an SGI model of Mario that resembles those used in marketing material for Super Mario 64, which shrouds itself (and its eyes) in darkness and/or deforms based on his emotional state.
Trivia
- Stanley is seemingly haunted by the remains of an intelligence that once inhabited L is Real Luigi and was destroyed in an accident involving his powers. Though Stanley interred most of its data in the castle fountain as the titular monument, an incident in 1997 reveals its presence still lingers outside of the fountain.
- Stanley's code is integrated into the default level geometry of Super Mario 64 and its gameplay, meaning that the only way to harm him is to bind a vital function to a destructible object (and is thus also why he cannot shut himself off without human assistance).
- Presumably, this is why the series treats his L is Real Luigi as a real person that died, as Luigi drowning would take the intelligence inhabiting his model with him.
- Stanley never says his name explicitly in the series. His name comes from the end of the episode "Aftermath," where a single frame of a deformed Mario model appears with the text "my name is," followed by an animation of various presses on the "B" and "A" buttons on a N64 controller. These button presses translates to "STANLEY" when interpreted as a Bacon's cipher.
- In "Epilogue," Stanley's file name is revealed to be "auto_enhance," since he is referred as "Automatic enhancer" in-universe.
- L is Real Luigi, the Wario Apparition, and Stanley are the only characters in the mod to have a pre-established connection to each other outside of Mario's Madness.
- In Luigi's case, CLASSIFIED is implied to be set in an alternate reality where Nintendo killed off Luigi in franchise canon, which Stanley retells as a running subplot involving his death and Mario's reaction. The Eternal Star monument is what remains of L is Real Luigi's data after Nintendo's decisions, and the narrative told by Stanley mirrors (to a point) what is happening to him and Jim in the real world.
- In the Apparition's case, it is a defective creation of Stanley that is so graphically demanding it cannot actually interact with players who encounter it. At one point in CLASSIFIED, the Apparition attempts to block an exit from one of Stanley's creations, but he quickly despawns it and tells the player "it's not real" in a futile attempt to get them to head for the door.
- His poses reference from his appearance on Promo Show.
- Greenio/Annielogue would later publish a post clarifying that the crushed Mario was actually Promotion Mario and not Stanley.

Classified Luigi
“HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
― Luigi, Abandoned
Classified Luigi is from the Super Mario 64 : CLASSIFIED horror web series. He only appears in the episode "09.02.97", where he is easily missed by a lot of people due to only appearing for a split second. He appears in Wet-Dry World in the abandoned "Downtown" area where he floats in front of the central plaza. He is the opponent of the song Abandoned.
Appearance
Classified Luigi appears as a floating soulless model of him with no eyes, blood across his body and clothes, and lacking the signature L on his hat, instead replaced with a dark void. He has a different moustache than Luigi as his is straighter and longer. He also lacks a mouth.
In the 3D section, he transforms into his Nintendo 64 model, which possesses the same attributes except for the face, which has more darkened sides.
Trivia
- While Luigi is obviously deceased in the copy of Super Mario 64 that Stanley resides in, both episodes of Nintendo Mania seen in "Promo Show" and "Epilogue", as well as the fact that Stanley has long since been relocated before the series began, seem to heavily imply that Nintendo decided to ultimately kill off Luigi in the alternate universe the series takes place in.
- Most likely, classified Luigi finally died once Stanley was destroyed at the end of the series.
- Classified Luigi appears to be a re-interpretation of L is Real.
- He could also be Promotion's Luigi both on TV and in the latter parts of the song.

Costume
“WAH-HOOOOO!”
― Costume, The End
Costume is an anomalous costume with a mysterious backstory. Just when Boyfriend and Girlfriend think they've reached the end, they take a small picture to celebrate! However... is that costume moving on its own?! He is the opponent of the song The End.
Appearance
Costume's appearance mimics the original Mario, albeit grayscale and with his eyes obscured by shadow. His moustache appears messier, his overalls are gray, while his shirt is pitch black. During the 3rd half of the song, he wields a blood-stained knife.
Trivia
- While he originates from Super Mario 64: CLASSIFIED in one small scene at the end of 09.02.97, based on the knife he pulls out in the final section of The End, Costume might also take inspiration from the creepypasta Mario Bros Asesino, in which a man called Mike Robertson participates in a game show to win a Nintendo 64 with Super Mario 64, but is betrayed and mocked by the host of the show, later murdering the host's family with a knife in a Mario costume as revenge. However, the knife could have simply been a creative addition to Costume's depiction in the mod, making the connection ultimately unconfirmed.
- According to Annielogue, Costume was meant to be a part of a plot point in the series, only for it to be scrapped early on. Costume now exists solely for a creepy visual.[59]

Mr. SyS
“WE ARE NINTENDO. ULTIMATE TV GAME SYSTEM. WE CHALLENGE ALL PLAYERS. YOU CANNOT BEAT US.”
― Mr. SyS, You Cannot Beat Us
Mr. Steal Your Soul,[62] also known as Mr. SyS, is the main star of the Nintendo Australia commercial and an opponent of Unbeatable (Level 1 and 4).
Appearance
Mr. SyS has an oddly shaped, gray polygonal chest with a red streak going down it (presumably a tie). He holds a gray polygonal microphone in his right hand and has brown hair.
Trivia
- Mr. SyS only ever appeared in this commercial.
- Therefore, he is kind of trapped here, only seen as a footnote of his time. However, it is worth noting that his color palette may imply he is the embodiment of the NES itself, as noticed by y0ucannotbeatus on Twitter.
- Mr. SyS' name is a reference to Nostalgia Critic, where he says "Are you stealing my soul while I'm watching?" in the episode "Rise of the Commercials - Nostalgia Critic."[63]
- This is also a reference to the description of a YouTube video, which calls him "Mr. Creepy McStealyoursoul".
- There are actually two lesser known ads featuring Mr. SyS (as a disembodied voice) where kids are seen beating Super Mario Bros. and Kung-Fu Master, with Mr. SyS getting more audibly angry when they do so and screwing with the kids, even maniacally giggling at one point.
- Although Unbeatable is only unlocked after beating All-Stars, Mr. Sys still makes an appearance in All-Stars Act 4, as well as during Ultra M's transformation sequence at the beginning of the song.
- This is because, according to a conversation between y0ucannotbeatus on Twitter and Marco, All-Stars Act 4 and Unbeatable were getting finished up around the same time, and the devs thought it would be funny to add him.[4]

You Cannot Beat Us Duck Hunt Dog
“
YOU CANNOT BEAT US.”
― Duck Hunt Dog, You Cannot Beat Us
The Duck Hunt Dog is a character originating from the classic NES video game, Duck Hunt. He is the opponent in Level 2 of Unbeatable.
Appearance
The Duck Hunt Dog looks how he normally is in the original game, but in the commercial and the mod, although he retains the same appearance, he appears more polygonal rather than being 2D.
Trivia
- In the arcade version of Duck Hunt (known as Vs. Duck Hunt), the player is able to shoot the dog, but he just gets a bunch of gunpowder on his face, holds up a crutch, and tells the player to shoot the birds instead of him. Plus, Duck Hunt is practically a game that keeps going forever anyways, even to the unwinnable kill screen.
- So technically, the commercial wasn't lying; the player really cannot beat him.

You Cannot Beat Us Bowser
“
YOU CANNOT BEAT US.”
― Bowser, You Cannot Beat Us
King Bowser Koopa is a character originating from the classic NES video game, Super Mario Bros. He is the opponent in Level 3 of Unbeatable.
Appearance
Bowser appears to look more like a 3D version of his NES sprite, being dark green with a green and white shell and brown nubs for arms. He also has no eyebrows.
Trivia
- For such an important character in the Mario series, this is strangely enough one of Bowser's only two appearances in the mod (not counting the scrapped Inkbowser). His other appearances are the real Bowser in the Game Over screen of Oh God No where he appears next to IHY Luigi and is gloating over Mario's death and the silhouette of his face in Thalassophobia.
- When Bowser is first introduced in Unbeatable, Mr. SyS says "DISCOVER NEW WORLDS" just like in the commercial. However in the final section of the song, this phrase for swapped for "SCORE ONE MILLION", which was used for Lakitu in the commercial.
- After almost finishing Act 3 of Unbeatable, Koopa Clown Car will appear flying.

Mark
“Hello. My name is Mark. Would you like to touch my shiny bald head? C'mon, Mark with me!”
― Mark, Start of Mr. Alopeica
Mr. Alopecia, or Mark as he is famously known as, is character based on a photoshopped image of Mario with no hair, and also a character combined with Mr. Clean, a famous character in adverts. Mark himself is an upcoming appearing in his titular song, Mr. Alopecia.
Appearance
Mark's appearance is akin the the original Mario, with the only difference being he has no moustache or hair.
Trivia
- Mark's song was posted on April Fools, but FriedFrick, one of the song's composers, said "yes its official" in the video's description, meaning Mark was likely coming to the mod, but was originally claimed to be a joke since he was not in the mod.
- That is, until the devs themselves stated on Penkaru's thrid Karu Kause stream that Mark would be added in the mod, just not in V2, so it's likely that he's gonna be added in the Hotfix Update as one of the non-canon songs.
- When Mr. Alopecia released back in April 2023, Mark's page was moved around in the wiki between upcoming and others.
