To me the scariest part of of Mario galaxy is just looking off into space and wondering what’s out there and what really happens when Mario falls, or drifts or floats to his doom

What always scared me as a kid in this game and still does to this day are the black holes, just the sound of being sucked in and watching Mario go into his doom

Black holes are probably the scariest deaths Mario has ever experienced.

Surprised the ending wasn't mentioned, with all the Lumas sacraficing themselves , and Rosalina saying that that's is how it's supposed to be

I think the Black Hole is the scariest way to die in the Mario series as a whole. Especially if you imagine what ACTUALLY happens when you jump into one.

I just have to mention that I loved how you pulled the two games out and effortlessly displayed them nicely beside each other, very pleasant

i'm surprised nico didn't cover the worst part about the black hole, experiencing spaghettification where your body is twisted and mangled due to the high pressure in a black hole

Nico can make the most innocent part of a Mario game scary.

this video makes me really happy since it's so true tho! when i first played this game around the age of 6, everything about this game was was just so eerie looking as well as unnatural. not to mention, outer space in general is just so confusing and strange. - the UFO that that just starts buzzing right before grabbing the whole castle; it used to scare me a lot. and, during the last opening cutscene where peach's castle ends up in space, and then Kamek appears, starts talking gibberish, and then laughs very loudly as he blasts Mario away. that's a traumatizing experience for a 6 year old who just liked playing baseball on Wii Sports or trying to pass out of bounds in Mario Kart Wii cuz i wanted to pretend that i was one of the shoppers in Coconut Mall lol (yes i was a wii kid) -y'know that one golden pipe from Good Egg Galaxy? at the (bottom darker side) first planet that you land on, that pipe leads to an area where you have to collect the music notes to gain a 1-up mushroom. that may seem nice, but the music playing in the background is just so creepy. go back and listen to it, there was a reason why i skipped the pipe through my second playthrough lol - oh i was terrified of Megaleg. the face looks like a fly with its buggy eyes...i despise flies. King Fin was scary because of the fact that you have to keep swimming, but you don't know if he'll appear behind you or not. not to mention all of those annoying turpedo shark things that are trying to kill you at the same time. Megaleg and King Fin still scare me to this day. and for Petey Piranha, tbh i felt really bad for forcing him to come out of his shell the first time i played it. he's really cute walking with half of his shell on top of him. however, after hitting him the second time and he becomes all red from anger, that's when i start getting a little freaked out. but ya, seems unfair to Petey so, i wouldn't disagree if someone were to say that 'Mario is not a hero' *cough* -those moving boulders with the red stone that u have to hit for it to get destroyed. ya, as a kid, i thought that that red stone was jam. and so why would some giant boulder have jam in it? it seems so unnatural which is why i hated them so much. -i used to explore the dark areas of the Rosalina's observatory where you couldn't exactly go to those levels yet until you get another grand star. and then i'd get lost. and then i'd start to panic. and then i'd be forced to restart the game cuz i couldn't find a way back to the open areas. not exactly scary, but i might as well this in too. - because of how a lot of these galaxies are very unsettling, i only used to play Super Mario Galaxy just to repeat galaxies i've already played which seemed more inviting e.g. Honeyhive, Loopdeeloop, and Sweet Sweet galaxy were the 3 main ones that i really enjoyed playing :) so uhh ya sorry for the long comment lol

Sounds like Nico's telling a ghost story and I genuinely LOVE it

You know? The blackhole in Mario Galaxy will not work as intended. The mass of one single thing would exceed the mass of Jupiter and they'll suck up the entire stage like a New Yorker.

This game scared the crap outta me as a kid. I could never even get through the opening scene without crying. Never made it past honey hive galaxy until I came back to it when I was a bit older

If you look into the lore a bit, Lumas transforming into launch stars, Planets, or even galaxies is entirely normal for them. It’s like a Pokémon evolution for them

"remember SM64 episode? yeah, here's the sequel" - Nicobbq basically.

I can’t remember to name of the galaxy, it might be Matter Splatter, but this one gave me a nightmare as a kid. The level went from green and misty into solid void that only had its platforms existing occasionally. Watching Mario fall into space or a black hole was fine to me I guess. But watching him fall into that blackness was too much for me.

6:45 When Mario Galaxy was first brought to Gamestop, the automated phone call they made to the customers who pre-ordered it incorrectly stated that the game was rated M.

Finally! People think that the black holes are scary! I’m not alone!

Rated M for Mario

There are some eerie discoveries in the Super Mario Galaxy series indeed, it totally gives me a whole new outlook on the Galactic Mario adventures I've gotten so used to in the past 15 Years. Fun fact: I am currently playing through Super Mario Galaxy 2 right now and made a story about the Hell Valley Sky Trees that goes even deeper in their origins and what exactly they are! I once also had a dream the other night that in Yoshi's Island DS, the Podoboos (the fireballs that hop out of the lava) were labelled as "Hell Podoboos" (I am not kidding you). 0:47 Also, 131 Stars in SMG1! How did you do it?! :O

Dino Piranha is adorable, and the Eel looks like a nerd who was bullied in school. It's every Luma's life goal to become a Planet.

The scariest part of this all is that we're in space right now. Literally everything is in space.

I think the only scary thing about this game are the rolling ball galaxies levels, it’s scary because you slowly go insane after doing it 25 times, and going insane is something we consider scary.

3:51 They're also in ghostly galaxy

Whats really scary is walking around the unactivated megaleg glitch, just walk into his eyes and SHEESH!!

Oh yeah it's spooktober again, time for another spooky video about a Mario game :D Keep up the great work Nico :D

Out of all the Mario games, the Mario Galaxy games have the most darkest moments of all. The story, brutal deaths, scary enemies, and scary bosses. I agree, the games must be rated M. Also shouldn’t the Slurple be in the "scary enemies" category

The darkness lingers! Be careful who you trust!

I never thought that SMG is really scary, but so hard like i couldn't even beat the megaleg fight as a kid

Lumalee is cute but can be a little menacing Ooohh! Fresh meat for the grinder! There’s no escape! Only hope is death! Nothing but you and the void!

Hungry lumas don’t die,Hungry lumas just transform temporarily.

Even though im not a kid anymore, some stuff in this game can still scare me, because of what the great soundtrack can do, it can relax you or scare tf out of you. But the scariest thing is def the ghost mario race challenge

You guys know what happens when Mario falls into a black hole? Spaghettification.

Love the thousand year door music in the background

For me, the scariest things in this game are those GIANT FUCKING EELS and bonefin Galaxy!

Mario galaxy nightmare fuel... having the camera look at mario from bone fins mouth. The amount of black holes and how they kill. The random matter that disintegrates mario upon contact. Or the fact that you fly thru space to fight a giant spider in a solitary web like planet.

Having too much food and dieing?! That makes me worry about the gordos in slime rancher...

Now I what a Mario galaxy horror hack

3:45 I've been playing this game since 2007 and NEVER noticed that before. I'll never be able to look at that galaxy the same way ever again. That is actually Super creepy!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised you didn't mention the characters that k#ll you when you fail their challenge.

I thought this was gonna be video about a scary coin based challenge. Still a good video

Ah yes, the “hell valley sky trees” my favorite reoccurring characters. My favorite appearance was in wario ware get it together in the windmill microgame. They’re so creepy out of context but once you know them there just fun lil guys

In Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the galaxy half fire half ice, before the boss of the mission, as a child I always zoomed in space and saw a black figure on a mountain. Since then that galaxy has become a nightmare

The scariest thing in the game when I was littler was the part where the UFO cutted around Peach's castle

I thought at the beginning that this video was going to be a bit far fetched, but I actually really enjoyed watching it! Well done!

The dark matter was the only scary thing to me as a kid

This video would not be complete without talking about the shiver burn demons that are above us🤣

As a kid and there was one thing that I was very scared of by this game. it’s very different from all the other reasons that you guys have suggested. it’s not something looking scary. Instead it’s something sounding scary. I have sensory triggers to different noises. some noises if they feel unnatural or have a certain pitch I just don’t like them and get unsettled. and what scared me so much was is the sound effect that played when Mario fell in the purple poison goo. It triggered me The most out of any sound I’ve ever heard in my life. I still loved The game and still do but I would always avoid levels with that poison.

*ok I actually didn’t know about the whole spirit ghosts in the kingfin boss’s galaxy ngl.*

The Wii was my first ever console and I got it with Galaxy 2, I never saw a "scary" side when I was a kid but hell I was scared with shadow mario levels, such a great game, I still have hopes for a 3rd game one day.

The space riffs are actually called dark matter,since the title is called bowsers dark matter plant and most of the parts are in the galaxy.

Scariest part is the black hole i always hated seeing those red holes cus there's no existence after getting sucked into one :(

also, why does MARIO DIE over losing a minigame? Does it mean the minigame host kill mario or is mario such a bad loser that he commits... SUICIDE?!

What is the scariest nintendo game you've ever played?

Wait I just realized: why don't the galaxies themselves get sucked into the black holes??? 🤔

Those weird clouds might be souls or ghosts😬

8:54 I never knew they had mouths.

Fun Fact: The Hell Valley sky trees are huge, and only look so small because of the distance…

Wait, lumas die? I thought they were basically baby stars and when they grow up they transform into their own world populated with many cool creatures. And if you go back you can see a smaller version of them.

“These light blue balls…” 🤨 Great video lol

When my first time playing super galaxy after playing galaxy 2 I saw Mario die to the dark matter and desegregating out of existence it really creeped me out for minutes and after I stopped playing it and didn’t start back playing after 5 years later.

The Valley Sky Trees look like shrooms a bit, from the Mario and Luigi partners in time. At least I think so XD

I refuse to believe this is nicobbq because he was collecting coins at the beginning

never actually noticed how many scary things there actually is in super mario galaxy before so spoopy

But it becomes much less creepier as you get more Stars. Cheerier, too.

When I think of Mario galaxy I think of A dome with levels coins and goombas.. and Mario of course!

What about the Jellyfish?

Nothing is scary except Mario 64

Nice Halloween special bro I hope i can sleep tonight

You forgot about the ending cutscene, I thought that was terrifying

Love the thousand year door music

Just because video games have scary or much violent moments doesn’t mean it should be M rated!

the scariest part are the metacritic reviews

I was scared of the game over screen as a child😂

Happy Halloween Nico!

Mario galaxy isn’t as scary as 64 but it’s still is also you forgot Mario sunshine that game had some pretty disturbing things as well such as the Fanta manta I bet that scared a lot of people who played the game

this was very atmospheric, nice job on the narration! i especially love the bgmusic choices

wow im literally shaking in my seat this is pretty terrifying!

Bro Tries to make us scared this Ain’t Scary Bro

Trust me, the original Mario 64 is a lot scarier. I especially remember the following things: - The sound effect when you try opening a locked door, and Bowser laughs after a dark jingle. - Going through a Star Door and seeing what's behind it. Especially the second Star Door with Dire Dire Docks behind, and the third door with Tick Tock Clock always gave me insane creeps when I was younger. - Dying. This is the first Mario game, where Mario actually has a death animation at 0 HP. And all these animations look so evil and scary... - On the topic of Bowser, let's talk about the Bowser stages. All of them look very scary, the first one being very dark, the second one filled with lava, the third one floating in dark purple skies. But the eeriness wouldn't be complete without the Bowser stage music. - Or what about several normal courses and their portals... Best examples being Hazy Maze Cave, Lethal Lava Land, Shifting Sand Land, Tick Tock Clock, but the most terrifying is probably Dire Dire Docks. Seriously, these levels have spooked me as a kid. - Oh, and don't get me started on the Game Over screen. Usually in games, the Game Over screen is straightforward, with a sad tune to it, a Game Over message, and a continue or exit option. In Mario 64, if you run out of lives, you first end up on a black screen, then all of a sudden, the infamous Red Screen of Death with Game Over lettering appears in a star shape, VERY spooky music begins to play, and a totally dizzy and defeated Mario says "Game Over!". Jeez, if I had gotten this screen as a kid, I never would have played the game ever again... Which is why even today, almost 20 years later, I always make sure I have enough lives, because I don't want to get this screen ever again. If you compare this with the DS Version of Mario 64, you can pretty much tell that the entire game, save for the Game Over music, looks a lot more child-friendly and innocent. Which actually is why I prefer the DS Version over the original, not just because of the additional amount of stars, characters and other content we got.

2:44 that’s in Galaxy 2

I was going to say first but I then i gained a brain cell.

"Black emptiness"? Have you ever look at the beautiful background and seen all the shining stars lighting up your surroundings?

Where would you even go to the bathroom on the comet observatory?

Kind of like Mario 64 is scary but the Mario galaxy games are way scarier

Happy Halloween i boo doesn't attack you when your sleeping😂😂😂

I feel nostalgia for super Mario galaxy and this is just pure nonsense tbh

I think super mario 64 is much more scary than mario galaxy

I don’t care what people say, Super Mario Galaxy is godlike.

That intro could work just as well for the Kirby series, honestly.

Me watching this at midnight:

none of those things scare me, except the black holes, so don't try to make me think otherwise about my favorite mario games in existence

How do you feel about nathaniel bandy giving coins to mario ?

This game ruined my childhood

Honestly the whole alien tree thing made me laugh when I first heard of it

Thank you Nico I will probably never see this game the same ever again!

the world 4-4 ghost is another thing watching you. wait 30 seconds at the flagpole in 4-4 in super mario 3D land and it'll appear.

Plus, when you give certains Lumas the right amount of Star Bits, they turn into mushrooms for you to get to get an extra life or upgrade your health. This could imply that you basically ate or consumed the Luma after it turning into a mushroom 🍄. Pretty creepy 😱🙀.

6:16

all of these are completely normal NOW THE REAL SCARY THING is the anti-piracy screen in Mario galaxy
