There's something about Mario 64 that's just...unsettling...
There's just a very dark presence in this game. I legitimately feel compelled to pray in the name of Jesus Christ when I walk through certain areas of the castle. And certain areas of the painting worlds too, such as the cabin on Cool Cool Mountain, or the entirety of Wet Dry World which just has a ominous and malevolent aura.
And the way Bowser looks is just... disturbing and horrific.
And the way the toads are transparent, ghostly apparitions until you walk close to them, it's always freaked me out.
There's surprisingly dark lore surrounding the evil looking fire face on the painting for Lethal Lava Land.
And the painting of Peach which then morphs into a painting of Bowser when you get close...gives me chills every time.
And the way that time stops Tick Tock Clock sometimes...
I could go on. There's just something very foreboding and dare I say demonic about Mario 64.

it's weird to think all of those DEEPEST LORE and iceberg shitpost threads here would domino into this bullshit
Also fucked over the ROM hacking community now that half of the new releases are shitty beta horror hacks

why does /v/ act like the uncanny valley doesn't exist.

That's the only scary part of the game, yet I never see it brought up in these UNSETTLING zoomer essays. It's always muh wet dry world or muh liminal hallways for some fucking reason

Uncanny valley exists, but this game isn't it. Games only recently started having realistic enough graphics to be uncanny valley. That ugly bitch from Horizon Zero Dawn is the first time I felt uncanny valley from a video game.
