History NightmareFuel / Mother

* In the Lost Underworld, Ego Orbs can be this, especially on first sight. They move really fast, much faster than [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs the Chomposaur or Wetnosaur]]. Like most enemies, they can also detect you if they're even partially on-screen, catching careless players off guard, [[JumpScare as well as giving them a nasty surprise]]. Lastly, there's their faces, which easily fall into UncannyValley territory and make them suddenly darting toward your position from off-screen all the startling. How would one react when [[https://wikibound.info/wiki/File:EgoOrb.gif THIS]] makes a beeline for you?
* The final area of the game, the Cave of the Past, an eerie and melancholic place with a gray fog covering all the place. You find [[BossInMookClothing powerful enemies]] that easily can [[OneHitKill one-shot]] half of your party, then you find the cave where the Devil's Machine lies, at the end of a [[WombLevel fleshy, intestine-like]] [[BossCorridor corridor]], and the whole thing seems to be breathing and pulsating with life. The eerie, ominous music doesn't help at all.
** How do Ness and his friends get there? In the words of Dr. Andonuts himself, life is demolished in the process of time travelling, which is the reason why he transfers their "brain programs" to robotic bodies so they can travel, while their bodies stay behind, without any warrant that their spirits would come back to their bodies; this thought can be very terrifying because this means Ness and company are doing the greatest sacrifice by renouncing their human bodies, and go around in robotic bodies unable to feel pain or anything, and even if they manage to win and come back to the present, they still might be stuck in their robotic bodies forever. Fortunately, it doesn't happen. Upon Giygas' defeat, their spirits go back to their human bodies.
** The Cave of the Past in and of itself is pretty much NothingIsScarier. The area itself is devoid of color and features, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiUmTUSbq0w music]] is extremely minimal, and (besides the enemies, all of which are represented by diamond-shaped objects instead of the normal, unique enemy sprites you've seen throughout most of the game) there aren't any characters and only one recharge station, way at the beginning of the area.

* Desert Wolves cause a lot of FridgeHorror. Not only do their battle sprites show them constantly drooling despite living in a desert, but they can attack with poisonous fangs even though wolves aren’t venomous. The only sensible conclusion is that they’re rabid.

It may look like another innocent series made by Creator/{{Nintendo}}... But it's far worse than the outside implies, and delving deep into its subconscious may end up driving you mad. Case in point and putting it short, it might just be the darkest Nintendo series to date. And that's saying a lot.

* Poo's Mu Training. You're controlling an unfamiliar character who is told to go attend a training session. The training initiates a battle, where an outline of a stylized Chinese-ancestor head appears. It then proceeds to (all in text, mind you) break your legs, tear off your arms, cut off your ears, and take away your eyes. Worst of all, before each step, it asks for confirmation. After each step, your health drops. When you lose your ears, the music cuts off. And when your eyes are gone, the whole screen goes blank. The final step reminds the player that all they have remaining to them is their mind--which they are then asked to give up as well.

** And how do Ness and his friends get there? In the words of Dr. Andonuts himself, life is demolished in the process of time travelling, which is the reason why he transfers their "brain programs" to robotic bodies so they can travel, while their bodies stay behind, without any warrant that their spirits would come back to their bodies; this thought can be very terrifying because this means Ness and company are doing the greatest sacrifice by renouncing their human bodies, and go around in robotic bodies unable to feel pain or anything, and even if they manage to win and come back to the present, they still might be stuck in their robotic bodies forever. Fortunately, it doesn't happen. Upon Giygas' defeat, their spirits go back to their human bodies.

* Last but certainly not least is the one that [[SignatureScene everyone knows about]] - '''''Giygas.''''' Put simply, he is generally agreed to be the single most terrifying Nintendo villain in all of the company's history- which, considering [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Nintendo's track record]], says ''quite'' a bit. He is, of course, the most terrifying part of the game, not to mention the most memorable. After having spent the entire game fighting cartoonish monsters with baseball bats and frying pans, Ness and his friends are now fighting an EldritchAbomination with a terrifying, amorphous visage that looks like a demonic, ghostly hurricane with a warped, screaming face. The creepy, amorphous, jarring background music (and the dialogue inspired by the creator's trauma of catching a glimpse of a murder scene, which he thought was a rape scene, in [[Film/TheMilitaryPolicemanAndTheDismemberedBeauty a movie]] as a young child) only adds to this. The fact that most of the rest of the game is so childlike and cartoonish only makes this more frightening, because it seems ''so out of place.''
** Listen to his dialogue. He claims to be happy among his irrational babbling.

** And of course, this bit...
--> '''Giygas:''' It's not right...not right...not right...

** Giygas gets ''even worse'' if you've played or are familiar with MOTHER[=/=]Earthbound Origins. He was once an alien creature whose race was the origin of PSI powers who was adopted by a human who he genuinely loved. However, his conflicting loyalty to his species who sought revenge for humanity stealing the secret of PSI from them and his love for his adoptive mother caused him to undergo catastrophic SanitySlippage. The Giygas American players are more familiar with is the end result of Giygas' incredible PSI powers collapsing in on themselves due to his mental conflict until an [[EldritchAbomination amorphous]] AlmightyIdiot was all that remained. With that being said, his "It's not right" line might just be the last rational part of Giygas [[AndIMustScream horrified at what he'd become,]] [[MadnessMantra provided it isn't just his madness echoing it endlessly, no longer knowing what it means.]]

* The Ultimate Chimera. After the duel with the Almost-Mecha Lion in the Chimera Laboratory, your fellow Pigmask co-worker alerts you to pretty much [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere get the hell out of a room]] if you see it, and for good reason: running into it kills you, no ifs, ands, or battles. If that warning doesn't scare you, the next part will: the creepy music will cut out, replaced with background sounds of other Pigmasks fleeing for their lives only to get devoured by that thing. Can you confidently traverse from one room to another knowing that such a powerful creature is loose inside the lab? And this is ''when it's safe and the Chimera isn't around''. When the music returns, ''then'' you have much more reason to worry about your own safety.

** Even worse: after you escape the Chimera Lab unscathed, there is a giant, gaping hole on the building to the left of the entrance and an injured Pigmask, implying that [[ParanoiaFuel the Ultimate Chimera escaped containment and is now out in the wild.]][[note]]Thankfully, you don't encounter it again during normal gameplay until late in Chapter 8.[[/note]] And if the whiteboard in the lab is to be believed, the Pigmasks understandably have no intention of getting it back.

* How about Chimeras in general? Even the ones that aren't robotic had to undergo a LOT of pain to be converted into a chimera. The idea of mixing up random body parts of different animals is really disturbing in itself but it becomes much more worse if you imagine what kind of pain these animals must've endured through the process with their bodies being horribly mutilated and brought back to life with different body parts attached, maybe even having died in the process and becoming empty shells of their former selves, much like the Mecha-Drago.
** It's even more disturbing if you consider or think about what the Pigmasks say about Butch's place once being a farm, mentioning that there used to be pigs and cows there before it became a Pigmask training faculty. Also, if you walk back up to Alec's cabin, none of the animals that were there before are no longer there. Remember those cute friendly pigs, cows or chickens you spoke to in chapters 1-3? [[FridgeHorror It's possible they became part of the Chimera experiment and have become those Cattlesnakes or Pigtunias or Slitherhens you were just battling!]]

*** The Muttshroom or Dogfish enemies may have silly appearances, but it soon becomes FridgeHorror if you consider that these dogs were probably someone's lost pet. You don't see any other dogs that look like like them rather than the generic stray dogs you see wandering around, looking more akin to Boney in appearance, so most likely these were someone's pets. If one takes into account how in RealLife some people actually do in fact take peoples pets or steal them and ship them to research institutions for animal testing and experimenting makes it much more scarier.
*** After taking into account of how painful the animal mutilations probably were, one can only imagine how painful the procedures the victim involved in the making of a human Chimera - or rather, the Masked Man - had to undergo. There's even an unused sprite showing the process of how the Masked Man was created... it's really unsettling, needless to say....

*** If you have a fear of spiders or deathly terrified of anything spider-like, then the Horsantula is truly the scariest thing you'll come across. [[https://ssl-forum-files.fobby.net/forum_attachments/0030/0609/Horsantula.png Just look at it.]] Someone hacked off a horse's head and stitched it on top of a gigantic freaking spider's head (not helping matters is that the horse's head looks as if its in pain either), they also killed other horses nearby and ripped off their legs and stitching those to the spider after they had ripped off all eight of the spider's own legs. And then there's also those four big yellow spider eyes staring straight back at you. Shudder.

** By the end of Chapter 7, everyone is gone as they have moved to New Pork City. All the doors are locked, and the only people left behind are complaining about their lot. The town is still there, but its soul is sucked away bit... by bit... by bit until everyone's gone. Shudder.
* [[MushroomSamba Tanetane Island]]. You have to eat the funky-looking mushrooms, which send you into a trippy world of pink trees and creepy music, plus the occasional mailbox (see page quote). Oh, yes - and all the enemies look like people you know most notably your father and your allegedly dead brother, one of them even takes up the form of Violet, Kumatora's alter-ego during the time she worked at Club Titiboo. They spout insane dialogue ranging from funny ("I'm going to lick you all up, ice cream!"), to threatening ("I'm gonna beat you, boy. Daddy's gonna beat you."), to ''batshit insane'': "Touch my heart. See how it beats in and out? Lucas! There's noooothing to worry about now."

** During the trip, the party can enter an incredibly inviting looking hot spring... but when they enter it, Boney, the only one who ''didn't'' eat the mushrooms, will stand outside of the spring and whimper. Come back when the trip's over, and the reason Boney refused to enter is because it was a pool of stagnant pond water surrounded by garbage and hazardous waste, ew.
** The script for this was rewritten, because the original terrified its creator too much. We don't know what was in the original script, but some fans have posited an interesting possibility; we are told the hallucinations tear at the victims' emotional scars and weaknesses by taking the forms of their loved ones, present or otherwise...but in the final version of the game, ''[[MissingMom Hinawa]] [[FridgeHorror never shows up...]]''
* After defeating Miracle Fassad and coming back to the streets of New Pork City, you find that there are now even more people than when you first arrived, which is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by one of the NPCS. If you attempt to talk to these people their dialogue will be non-sensical, often limited to only two words, or just repeating the same word twice, not to mention that they always stand the on the spot all the time, sometimes even blocking some streets and entrances , thus forcing you to make a detour, and they don't even look at you when you talk to them. Their zombie-like behavior just comes off as creepy and unsettling and just keeps on telling you what you already know: Nothing in New Pork City is as perfect as it seems.

* If you've seen the unused sprites, you can pretty much tell what happened between the prologue and chapter 1. As seen in this vid [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDNtHp5prPA&feature=related here]]. To make matters worse, this happens BEFORE the twins were found in the river WHILE they were still with [[AdultFear Hinawa.]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS_5Wj_AUiI final battle theme]] for the Masked Man/Claus is ''incredibly'' creepy. It's basically a giant mess of weird sounds, pianos, drums, and at one point, :the ''Love Theme''.

* The horrible change that occurs to your hometown. In the beginning it was a peaceful rural town, no one locked their doors, there was no crime, and almost everyone helped one another if the need arose... there was no concept of 'money'. It is only when Fassad introduces the concept of money to Tazmily that the greed starts to spread among the villagers (with Butch being the first victim of this, slowly spreading it to the rest of the neighbours one by one). Then, [[TimeSkip three years later]], it has become much more akin to a modern town, but crime has arisen seeing how there are now police officers in Tazmily who are shocked at the fact that there used to be no police officers before, and the villagers themselves have become much more colder and greedy, treating those who refuse to embrace change like outcasts (some people, like Pusher and Elmore, outright tell Lucas that they hate him).

*** If you have a fear of spiders or deathly terrified of anything spider-like, then the Horsantula is truly the most scariest thing you'll come across. [[https://ssl-forum-files.fobby.net/forum_attachments/0030/0609/Horsantula.png Just look at it.]] Someone hacked off a horse's head and stitched it on top of a gigantic freaking spider's head (not helping matters is that the horse's head looks as if its in pain either), they also killed other horses nearby and ripped off their legs and stitching those to the spider after they had ripped off all eight of the spider's own legs. And then there's also those four big yellow spider eyes staring straight back at you. Shudder.

** And how do Ness and his friends get there? In the words of Dr. Andonuts himself, life is demolished in the process of time travelling, which is the reason why he transfers their "brain programs" to robotic bodies so they can travel, while their bodies stay behind, without any warrant that their spirits would come back to their bodies; this thought can be very terrifying because this means Ness and company are doing the greatest sacrifice by renouncing to their human bodies, and go around in robotic bodies unable to feel pain or anything, and even if they manage to win and come back to the present, they still might be stuck in their robotic bodies forever. Fortunately, it doesn't happen. Upon Giygas' defeat, their spirits go back to their human bodies.

'''Moment Pages are Administrivia/SpoilersOff. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

* NightmareFuel/EarthBoundBeginnings

* Really, there are some pretty unnerving tunes in this game. Most of it has to do with creating an otherwordly-effect on the atmosphere of certain parts; a good example would be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53IZJDOANGM/ Alien Invasion]].

** Not to mention think of the people in the town, they are in a town that is always night, zombies are roaming around, people with Jack-o-lanterns for heads are causing trouble, living dummies pop out from nowhere and chase you, and everyone is literally trapped there. Threed is a living Hell.

* The final level of the game, the Cave of the Past, an eerie and melancholic place with a gray fog covering all the place. You find [[BossInMookClothing powerful enemies]] that easily can [[OneHitKill one-shot]] half of your party, then you find the cave where the Devil's Machine lies, at the end of a [[WombLevel fleshy, intestine-like]] [[BossCorridor corridor]], and the whole thing seems to be breathing and pulsating with life.

** The present-day version of the cave has a bit of creepiness of its own. After exploring the Lost Underworld, you walk in to this strange cave where you can't do anything, and the only thing that keeps you company is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy3s4Yaabfs&t=75s this creepy, discordant, almost mocking "song"]]. It's more unsettling than outright scary, especially since it's possible to wander in here earlier than you're meant to.

* Giygas. That is all. Just... '''''Giygas.''''' Put simply, he is generally agreed to be the single most terrifying Nintendo villain in all of the company's history- which, considering [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Nintendo's track record]], says ''quite'' a bit. He is, of course, the most terrifying part of the game, not to mention the most memorable. After having spent the entire game fighting cartoonish monsters with baseball bats and frying pans, Ness and his friends are now fighting an EldritchAbomination with a terrifying, amorphous visage that looks like a demonic, ghostly hurricane with a warped, screaming face. The creepy, amourphous, jarring background music (and the dialogue inspired by the creator's trauma of catching a glimpse of a murder scene, which he thought was a rape scene, in [[Film/KenpeiToBarabaraShibijin a movie]] as a young child) only adds to this. The fact that most of the rest of the game is so childlike and cartoonish only makes this more frightening, because it seems ''so out of place.''

*** You ever wondered what it would be like if you could actually HEAR Giygas say those lines? Well, wonder no more! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws_zY5vkiis Enjoy the nightmares!]]

* Lucas gaining access to his PSI abilities by having his head shoved underwater and ''held there'' in a hot spring by Ionia, one of the Magypsies. While we aren't shown the actual act, Ionia's dialogue (as well as what occurs afterwards, with Lucas emerging out of the water) makes it obvious as to what they did to him...

* [[TearJerker Flint's breakdown after learning of Hinawa's death.]] Not so bad for a kid, [[AdultFear home-hittingly scary for those who are older]].

* The rather horrific changes that Fassad undergoes. It may look funny to some, but he's been turned into a cyborg who can't even speak anymore because they've replaced his mouth with trumpets. The second time around is even worse.
* The horrible change that occurs to your hometown. In the beginning, no one locked their doors, there was no crime, and everyone helped one another if the need arose... there was no concept of 'money'.
** By Chapter 7, everyone is gone. All the doors are locked, and the only people left behind are complaining about their lot. The town is still there, but its soul is sucked away bit... by bit... by bit until everyone's gone. Shudder.

* The PeopleJars in the Empire Porky Building. Made all the more disturbing by the fact that you can talk to them, and they're all quite 'happy' being there. There's even a cow, who will say [[LetsMeetTheMeat he's going to become a wonderful steak]]. Yeesh.

** The script for this was rewritten, because the original terrified its creator too much.
