Monsters, [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinLullaby demons]], [[VideoGame/WednesdaysInfidelity angels]], [[VideoGame/FunkinAtFreddys freaks]]. So, [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse how's about we make a deal]]?

| 7 | ''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/359554 Friday Night Funkin': Mario's Madness]]'' is a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod based on a set of ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' horror media and parodies. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | One day, Boyfriend and Girlfriend are hanging out as usual until they receive a package containing a strange ''Super Mario Bros.'' cartridge. After BF starts playing it, the game crashes before he suddenly gets dragged into the game by gloved hands, along with Girlfriend. Once they enter the game, they discover that there's another person with them: Super Horror Mario, who challenges Boyfriend to a rap battle. And they might meet other creepy urban legends of the Mario franchise along the way... |

| 11 | Compare with ''VideoGame/VsSonicExe'', a fellow {{Creepypasta}}-flavoured mod that is to ''Sonic'' horror what this mod is to ''Mario'' horror, ''VideoGame/MarioFNFPort'', another Mario Creepypasta mod with some extra horrors within it, and ''VideoGame/MariosMondayNightMassacre'', another Mario Creepypasta mod which has a similar cast of characters, but with several other unique opponents. |

| 107 | ---- |
| 108 | !This mod provides examples of: |
| 109 | * AdaptationalContextChange: A handful of lines from ''Luigi's Day Out'' have their context refitted for the song "Day Out". Daisy's lines are spoken by Girlfriend instead, as the latter takes the former's place in the gang, and Mario calls Luigi a "dumbass geek" for joining in the song instead of him having pissed himself. |
| 110 | * AdaptationNameChange: The Warp Whistle is referred to in this mod as the Magic Flute. |
| 111 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Boyfriend and Girlfriend mostly stray away from their canon FearlessFool attitudes, having more average intelligence and taking situations more seriously. Girlfriend especially borders on a non-verbal DeadpanSnarker on occasion. |
| 112 | * AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: A variation. In the last phase of "All-Stars", Super Horror Mario will call in the previous voices of the foes from the pasts zones [[InterfaceSpoiler and a foe that will appear in the future]] to aid agaisnt Boyfriend's crusade of beating him for good. While he does uses the differents voices to gain the upper edge, he won't use any of the individual gimmicks that each foe had in their respective battle, [[ShooOutTheClowns as well that he doesn't use any of the foes from Irregularity Isles and the vast mayority of Content Cosmos.]]]] |
| 113 | * AdaptedOut: ''Luigi’s Day Out'' Waluigi and Daisy are missing from “Day Out”, with their roles being taken by Boyfriend and Girlfriend respectively. |
| 114 | * AndThenWhat: [[spoiler:The mod's credits theme implies that everything M ultimately worked towards only ended in being back where he started, with no clue as to where he's going to go or what he'll be doing next.]] |
| 115 | * AntiFrustrationFeatures: If you're struggling on a particular song in Version 2, a Luigi icon will appear in the HUD, indicating that you have the option to summon I HATE YOU Luigi from the pause menu to tackle the song for you and help you continue your progress. To set a score record, though, you still need to beat said song legit. |
| 116 | * AntiPoopSocking: [[spoiler:Amongst his GameOver quotes in "All-Stars", Ultra M briefly breaks the fourth wall and informs the player to step back from their computer and take a break if they need to.]] |
| 117 | -->[[spoiler:'''Ultra M:''' Come now, take a step away from the computer if you need to take a break.]] |
| 118 | * ArtEvolution: All of the V1 opponents (except [[spoiler:Racist Mario]]) all have updated sprites along with remastered songs in V2. |
| 119 | * ArtShift: |
| 120 | ** GB and Boyfriend in "Golden Land" are drawn in pixel art reminiscent of VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins. |
| 121 | ** [[spoiler:Race Traitors has Boyfriend and Girlfriend in the style of a [[WebAnimation/FlashGitzAnimation FlashGitz]] animation.]] |
| 122 | ** In version 2.0, “Day Out” features an art style that emulates to Creator/MaxGilardi’s work as he is the creator of ''Luigi’s Day Out''. |
| 123 | ** "Nourishing Blood" redraws BF in the style of a "bootleg" caveman version of himself, set on the original bootleg's title screen. Midway through the song it goes through another art shift and places everything on an 8-bit recreation of the game's actual 8-bit gameplay, then shifts back for the ending. |
| 124 | ** "MARIO SING AND GAME RYTHM 9" is set in the 8-bit style of the original Somari. |
| 125 | ** "DICTATOR" is done in the style of the Secret Histories videos. |
| 126 | ** While BF and DJ Hallyboo are drawn normally in "No Party", the level is set up in portrait mode as if it were a DS game being emulated, with the arrows being redone as if they were buttons on the DS touch screen. |
| 127 | ** "The End" is entirely in monochrome; The final stretch of the song is drawn as pure black with white outlines. |
| 128 | ** [[spoiler:The final act of "All-Stars" uses a lineless art style in contrast to the black outlines used in most of the rest of the mod, down to the character health icons.]] |
| 129 | ** [[spoiler:Unbeatable is rendered entirely in a mimicry of the commercial it apes, with BF and GF both having CGI models for the song. Instead of showing both the opponent and BF at the same time, it switches between the two throughout the song, so that the singing character stays as the focal point of the screen like how the original commercial was rendered.]] |
| 130 | * AutobotsRockOut: After GB drops his disguise in "Golden Land", the song shifts from an 8-bit tune to fast paced rock music. |
| 131 | * BadassBoast: |
| 132 | ** "This is '''MY''' world." |
| 133 | ** “Welcome to [[VideoGame/WarioWorld Wario World!]]” |
| 134 | ** "[[spoiler:[[{{Superboss}} YOU CANNOT BEAT US]]]]" |
| 135 | * BadassNormal: |
| 136 | ** For V1: Unlike SHM, GB, IHU Luigi, MX, or [[spoiler:Racist Mario]], the Wario Apparition lacks any gimmicks, but can still be rather challenging. |
| 137 | ** Regarding the characters themselves, [[spoiler:Racist Mario isn't an EldritchAbomination like the rest, but his [[AxCrazy unhinged nature]] and his clever use of items still makes him a dangerous opponent]]. |
| 138 | * BaitAndSwitch: |
| 139 | ** [[spoiler: At the end of Irregularity Isle, you come across a giant Special Ring. This being a horror mod, you may think you're going to go up against [[VideoGame/SonicExe a particular demon wearing a hedgehog suit]]... But nope, it's actually just Somari.]] |
| 140 | ** The final song of the mod starts with [[spoiler: Boyfriend and Girlfriend battling as a team against Ultra M, so you think GF's gonna join in for the grand finale. Then she gets kidnapped in Act 2. Then [[WhamShot her disemboweled corpse shows up in Act 3.]]]] |
| 141 | * BattleInTheRain: While “battle” is pushing it, Beta Luigi is encountered during a thunderstorm. |
| 142 | * ButtMonkey: No Mario characters get off easy in this mod, but terrible things happening to versions of Luigi are an especially persistent theme. Being more specific: |
| 143 | ** Beta Luigi failed to save his brother from King Boo and is in a state of barely functional despair. |
| 144 | ** L is Real Luigi is trapped beneath the infamous courtyard fountain from ''Super Mario 64'' with a gigantic predator swimming nearby. |
| 145 | ** I HATE YOU Luigi gets dunked in lava ''twice,'' the first time by his hated brother Mario and the second time by Boyfriend, who's usually outmatched by his opponents in terms of brawn. |
| 146 | ** Luigi's Day Out Luigi is a timid {{Manchild}} whose delinquent brother clearly has nothing but contempt for him. |
| 147 | ** Power Star Luigi was murdered by his Boo-possessed brother. |
| 148 | ** Lucas from ''Mario '85'', who's stuck in a version of Luigi's body, is shown as a head on a spike. |
| 149 | ** Classified Luigi [[spoiler: is nothing but a dead body being puppeted by an extremely conflicted AI.]] |
| 150 | ** Even Mr. L, who's a full-fledged creepypasta monster, still gets thwarted by Pico [[spoiler:and Mario's ghost]] and [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu gets called an asshole by his would-be victim]] as he scurries away. |
| 151 | * BrickJoke: In the [=FunkKast=] trailer for the mod, GB tried to proclaim that [[TemptingFate the mod was never going to be coming out, in part due to a lack of teasers]]. In the art seen in the credits, he swallows his pride after seeing he was proven wrong after all, [[IMeantToDoThat albeit with the reasoning]] that he "roasted their asses in front of one thousand people". |
| 152 | * BrutalBonusLevel: The only bonus song after completing the story is [[spoiler: "Unbeatable", a 10-minute long gauntlet of a song that also has a sprinkling of mechanics, including a "missing a note instantly kills you" mechanic at Level 1 of the song, that make beating it all the more difficult.]] It's much more difficult compared to the final song of the story, [[spoiler: which only lasts about 8 minutes and has no gimmicks whatsoever.]] |
| 153 | * TheCameo: |
| 154 | ** A crewmate from ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' delivered the package with the corrupted Mario cartridge. |
| 155 | ** The V2 build has Monster, [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinLullaby Hypno]], [[VideoGame/WednesdaysInfidelity Mickey]], and [[VideoGame/FunkinAtFreddys Springtrap]] brought up by Horror Mario. |
| 156 | ** In "So Cool", WebVideo/VibingLeaf, Creator/JackBlack and Saster can be sighted amongst the participants in the livestream's chat, along with various members of the mod's team. The eagle-eyed can also catch sight of several of the mod's opponents taking their part in the chat, [[EarlyBirdCameo long before Boyfriend and Girlfriend encounter them proper in the Overworld]]. Even [[VisualNovel/DayshiftAtFreddys Dave Miller from DSAF]] makes an appearance. |
| 157 | --> Good fuckin stream, old sport. |
| 158 | * CentralTheme: Every world has its songs grouped together based on a main theme. |
| 159 | ** Irregularity Isle is based around popular memes in the Mario fandom, mainly ones that are imitations of Mario or bootlegs. |
| 160 | ** Woodland of Lies is unique from the others in that it has two. The first is [[UrbanLegendOfZelda hoaxes]] and unused content from official games ([[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Beta Luigi]], [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 L is Real Luigi, the Wario Apparition]]), while the second is creepypastas based on Super Mario World (IHY Luigi, Turmoil, Coronation Day Peach). |
| 161 | ** Content Cosmos is themed around [=YouTube=] fan animations that depict Mario as either a {{Jerkass}} or an [[AdaptationalVillainy outright villain]]. |
| 162 | ** Hellish Heights is based around more modern Mario creepypastas, mainly ones based on 8-Bit games. |
| 163 | ** Classified Castle is entirely based around WebVideo/SuperMario64Classified. |
| 164 | * CerebusRollercoaster: The mod's zones go from the goofy Irregularity Isle to the creepy Woodland of Lies to the crudely humorous Content Cosmos, but after [[WebAnimation/PowerStar "No Hope"]], the tone takes a nosedive into constant horror. |
| 165 | * ClimaxBoss: Each map ends in an encounter that's noticeably harder than the rest. |
| 166 | ** Irregularity Isle has Somari, who has a fast-paced song with a damage mechanic similar to Sonic's rings - Miss a note without a ring, and you die. |
| 167 | ** Woodland of Lies has Coronation Day Peach, another fast-paced song that keeps a constant pressure on the player and fills the screen with visual noise. |
| 168 | ** Content Cosmos has Devil Mario, who has a slightly more consistent tone, but takes frequent and quick swipes at you with his sword to knock half your health off per swing if not dodged. |
| 169 | ** Hellish Heights has MX, who has a ''two-song'' face-off and highlights just how dire the stakes are. |
| 170 | ** Classified Castle has Costume Mario, whose song is dripping in grim and oppressive atmosphere and is the only opponent of Classified Castle that actively wants to harm you. |
| 171 | * ChaseScene: |
| 172 | ** The entirety of "Apparition" is one, with Boyfriend running from the Wario Apparition. |
| 173 | ** The entirety of Demise is the same thing, only this time, Boyfriend is running from MX instead. |
| 174 | ** The climax of Overdue is one as well, though in this case, it's Pico running from Mr. L. |
| 175 | * CompositeCharacter: Somewhat. M's normal form is based on the Mario.exe fangame by [=CoolRash=], and the famous "Super Mario Horror" (or Mario's going to get you next time) image. His appearance and the knife he holds are taken from the image, but the Poison Mushrooms used during both versions of "It's-a-Me" are taken from the game. |
| 176 | * DarkerAndEdgier: V2 to V1, by virtue of having a bigger cast of creeps and a more defined narrative [[spoiler: where the main villain mutilates and ultimately kills our protagonists in gruesome fashion]]. Ironically, [[DenserAndWackier it also adds a lot more jokey characters]] to the main game where V1 only had one as a bonus character. |
| 177 | * DarkReprise: In V1 exclusively, a slowed melancholy version of the Warp Whistle theme and the Warp Zone theme plays once the player obtains the Magic Flute from a chest, and, by extension, beating GB. |
| 178 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the original Mario '85, Lucas manages to escape MX (outside of a GameOver). Here, you can see his decapitated (yet [[SlasherSmile smiling]]) head placed on a stake in the background for Power Down. |
| 179 | * DespairEventHorizon: Beta Luigi appears to have long passed this by the time Boyfriend reaches him. |
| 180 | * DevelopersForesight: |
| 181 | ** In [=V2=], when playing a song for the first time, and if it's done in windowed mode, the window bar will completely conceal the song's name and composers until they appear in the game itself. |
| 182 | ** Partway into "Bad Day", Mario knocks Boyfriend's arrows down by spin-jumping on each one. If you're playing on downscroll, Mario instead jumps into them from below to knock them upwards. |
| 183 | * DescentIntoDarknessSong: [[spoiler: "All-Stars" becomes darker as the situation worsens. Act 1 is bombastic and hopeful ([[HopeSpot helping on giving the impression that, like in almost any horror situations before, Boyfriend and Girlfriend will beat Ultra M despite the odds]]), Act 2 keeps a similar tone while adding a more frantic feel (as Boyfriend is fighting Omega and his trio to rescue Girlfriend), Act 3 is dramatic and melancholic (Girlfriend has been murdered and assimilated by Ultra M, Boyfriend irreversibly hit the DespairEventHorizon, and it becomes clear there won't be a happy ending in sight), and Act 4, while intense like the first two acts, has a more brooding, "mournful" tone in comparison (Boyfriend ultimately can't win against Ultra M, [[DefiantToTheEnd but he will go down trying]]).]] |
| 184 | * DigitalPiracyIsEvil: |
| 185 | ** Losing to the Wario Apparition in Version 1 cuts to an anti-piracy screen with a creepy-looking Mario on it. |
| 186 | ** "No party" is naturally centered around this, given that it's based on [[WebVideo/MarioPartyDSAntiPiracy a series featuring the trope.]] |
| 187 | * DownerEnding: |
| 188 | ** "Alone" takes place in an alternate timeline where Luigi failed to save Mario in the events of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion''. |
| 189 | ** The background in "Power Down" shows that it takes place after the GameOver in ''VideoGame/MarioEightyFive'', where the 8 year old protagonist, Lucas (in the body of Luigi), couldn't escape from MX, [[DeathOfAChild and was decapitated and with his head impaled on a stake, without being able to see his family ever again]]. |
| 190 | ** [[spoiler:"All-Stars", and thus the entire mod, ends with absolutely no one happy. Both Boyfriend and Girlfriend are KilledOffForReal, Pico finds their corpses and still has no way of escaping, and even Ultra M [[AntagonistInMourning finds his victory extremely hollow]].]] |
| 191 | * DrivenToSuicide: Boyfriend’s shadow can be seen hanging in "Alone", which serves as a reference to the infamous shadow glitch from ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' that caused some people to theorize that Luigi was DeadAllAlong in the game. |
| 192 | * TheEeyore: Beta Luigi is perpetually sad-looking. Most notably, in [=V1=], he doesn't even have an icon for losing like the rest and his music is fittingly [[SadBattleMusic depressing]]. |
| 193 | * EldritchLocation: The NES cartridge that contains Super Horror Mario and every other opponent you face clearly holds far more than just what you expect of an NES Mario game, given that the majority of the opponents that you face against either reside in worlds that come from future consoles, animated works that definitely came after the NES, or even pull stuff from RealLife, as seen with "So Cool" and "Bad Day". The Warp Zone is also fashioned after ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', even though the SNES came after the NES. |
| 194 | * EvilCounterpart: Following the Sonic.exe formula, the main antagonist is an evil version of Mario. |
| 195 | * EvilerThanThou: |
| 196 | ** Super Horror Mario finds himself in a brief spat with Super Horror Peach and Yoshi during Starman Slaughter, with Yoshi knocking him into the lava below to make room for Peach. Mario ends up retaliating by slicing Peach in half and slamming his cleaver into Yoshi's head for trying to usurp him. |
| 197 | ** When GB reveals his true colors, a portly outline hanging in the background implies he's killed Wario and strung him up in front of the castle by a noose. |
| 198 | * EyeObscuringHat: |
| 199 | ** GB's hat covers his eyes unless he's hitting notes in his true form. |
| 200 | ** M’s hat also obscures his eyes in his down pose. |
| 201 | ** [[spoiler:Ultra M]] plays with this trope: His hat seems to shadow his eyes; however, [[spoiler:since he's based on Super Mario Odyssey, he now has eyes ''on'' his hat reminiscent of Cappy.]] |
| 202 | * FinalBossNewDimension: [[spoiler:The final two acts of "All-Stars" take place in a dark void and a more distorted space between worlds respectively.]] |
| 203 | * FlippingTheBird: GB does this in his right pose during the second half of Golden Land. |
| 204 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Plenty towards [[spoiler: Ultra M's victory]]. |
| 205 | ** In ''Dark Forest'', [[spoiler:Coronation Day Peach proclaims herself the "[[SheIsTheKing king]]" of the forest, instead of the [[AGodAmI god]] she claims to be in the original hack]]. This incongruity hints at [[spoiler:the fact that Coronation Day Peach, along with the rest of the mod's opponents, are [[AmbiguousSituation either]] possessed by Ultra M or are just M in disguise]]. |
| 206 | ** In "Dictator", the reason Secret History Mario is trying to execute Boyfriend is that the latter apparently broke a deal the two had. [[spoiler: Now who else in the mod could be put in Secret History Mario's shoes?]] [[spoiler: "Dictator" also ends with Secret History Mario successfully executing Boyfriend and Girlfriend, just like how Ultra M kills Boyfriend and Girlfriend.]] |
| 207 | ** In "No Hope", Devil Mario says this: "Your struggling is pointless. We have already won." [[spoiler: Were the Boos or Horror Mario speaking through Devil Mario?]] |
| 208 | ** Mr. Virtual and MX are incredibly blatant with their foreshadowing. |
| 209 | ** Costume Mario [[HostageSituation holding Girlfriend hostage]]. |
| 210 | * TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: |
| 211 | ** InUniverse. M reaches through the screen of his game to grab Boyfriend and Girlfriend. |
| 212 | ** MX talks to the player about how the current games are over for now. However, there’s more to come, and he and the player will be together soon enough. |
| 213 | ** Mr. Virtual's main mechanic involves him forcing the game's resolution to windowed mode, and then dragging it around the screen, and he maintains a constant, unbroken stare towards the camera no matter what pose he takes or who he addresses. [[spoiler: When he takes on the form of Girlfriend, he proceeds to make the desktop itself the background of the arena.]] |
| 214 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Daddy Dearest. As revealed in the Funk Kast [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L1T978GrTo trailer]], his betrayal of M and imprisoning him in a cartridge drove M into desiring revenge by killing Boyfriend and Girlfriend. |
| 215 | * HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Whether you win or lose in [[spoiler: the final story song, "All-Stars",]] the end result, [[spoiler: Boyfriend dying by Ultra M's hands]], will end up happening. |
| 216 | * HopeSpringsEternal: [[spoiler:Though All-Stars ends with Boyfriend and Girlfriend dying and GF's soul being added to M's chorus, it's been stated that Boyfriend's has evaded him somehow. In addition, albeit unarmed, Pico still survives his encounter with Mr. L and is wandering the cartridge for a way out.]] |
| 217 | * InterfaceSpoiler: [[spoiler:In the middle of the final round of All-Stars, Ultra M summons the voices of the other characters within his control, and an icon of that character pops up next to M's on the health bar. Out of those voices and icons, all of which you have fought against, he picks a strange one that has never been heard before, along with an unfamiliar icon. This is the voice of Mr. [=SyS=], one of the main opponents of Unbeatable, a song you can only play once you beat All-Stars.]] |
| 218 | * JustToyingWithThem: It's made clear in the first cutscene that the only real reason why Boyfriend and Girlfriend hadn't been killed by M instantly is simply because he wants to sing with them. |
| 219 | * LackOfEmpathy: Pretty much everyone, barring Beta Luigi. Special mention goes to Secret History Mario and [[spoiler:Racist Mario]]. |
| 220 | * LargeHam: The Wario Apparition is a Wario, so this should be a shock to nobody. |
| 221 | ** [[spoiler:Racist Mario]] is also one. He even starts his song with a TitleScream! |
| 222 | * TheManyDeathsOfYou: |
| 223 | ** Losing "It's A Me" or "Starman Slaughter" has Super Horror Mario embed his knife into Boyfriend's skull. |
| 224 | ** Losing "So Cool" has Boyfriend’s stream get a copyright claim from Nintendo, as audio of Chris Pratt discussing his role as Mario plays in the background. |
| 225 | ** Losing "Nourishing Blood" has Boyfriend… [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext turn into a Swedish Fish]], alongside the crude drawing of a smiley face and a dick from [[Creator/{{Vinesauce}} Joel]]'s ''Windows XP Destruction'' stream. |
| 226 | ** Losing "Mario Sing and Game Rhythm 9" has Pikafriend fall out of view in the Sonic death animation. |
| 227 | ** Lose "Alone", and Boyfriend and Girlfriend's ghosts fade from existence, followed by ''Luigi's Mansion'''s famous "Good Night!" game over quote. |
| 228 | ** "OH GOD NO"'s game over screen is a twisted version of ''Super Mario World'''s ending screen (and also a swapped version of the IHY game's ending screen which is also a creepy version SMW's ending screen): Bowser replaces Peach, Luigi has an evil smile on his face, and Mario is the one who got burned/mutilated in the lava. |
| 229 | ** Failing "I HATE YOU" has Luigi knock Boyfriend into the lava, with retrying having his arm emerge… which is just as mutilated as Luigi is. |
| 230 | ** "Thalassophobia" has Boyfriend pass out, with Bowser's face-shaped sigil providing an IrisOut, just like in ''Super Mario 64''. |
| 231 | ** Losing "Apparition" has the Wario Apparition EatTheCamera, followed by Boyfriend falling into his mouth and the former's jaws slamming shut. |
| 232 | ** "Last Course" has Turmoil chow down of Boyfriend, followed by a SmashToBlack… followed by a shot of Boyfriend's corpse, his guts spelling out Retry. |
| 233 | ** Losing "Dark Forest" has a long SmashToBlack, followed by a shot of Boyfriend surrounded by glitchy assets like what happens if the player escapes Peach in VideoGame/{{The}}. Restarting has Boyfriend turn around, revealing GlowingEyesOfDoom. |
| 234 | ** Losing "Bad Day" has Super Bad Mario spin jump onto Boyfriend's mic and [[GroinAttack his balls.]] Ouch. |
| 235 | ** While losing in "Day Out" with Boyfriend has him go through the normal game over, if Day Out Luigi is the one to lose, he falls off screen while the words "Game over, [[EmbarrassingNickname Scrote!]]" appear. |
| 236 | ** Losing "Dictator" has Secret History Mario shoot a Banzai Bill at Boyfriend and Girlfriend, blowing them both up. |
| 237 | ** Losing "Race Traitors" shows a screenshot taken in VideoGame/GarrysMod, with a Girlfriend ragdoll laying face first on the floor next to a crashed car on gm_construct. |
| 238 | ** Losing "No Hope" has Devil Mario [[OffWithHisHead slash Boyfriend’s head off]], with glowing red eyes in the background, with him telling Boyfriend taunting voice lines, including one that [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadows]] [[spoiler:Girlfriend’s fate, asking if there’s anything more painful than watching your true love die]]. |
| 239 | ** Losing "Golden Land" has the screen SmashToBlack, and slowly fades in Boyfriend’s corpse with GB overlooking him, as a distorted version of the Super Mario Land 2 Overworld theme plays. |
| 240 | ** Losing "No Party" results in a direct homage to the original "Piracy is No Party" image (which in itself was taken from a shot from ''Mario Party DS'''s intro cutscene), with Boyfriend, Girlfriend and Pico locked in jail. |
| 241 | ** Losing "Paranoia" has a timer count down from 20 seconds, as Mr. Virtual provides a random voice line. The last few seconds on the timer also has Boyfriend screaming with a NightmareFace. |
| 242 | ** Losing "Overdue" has Mr. L run at Pico and bite his head off, with Pico’s blood spelling out retry. |
| 243 | ** Losing "Powerdown" has MX grow to his true size and [[FinishingStomp stomp Boyfriend into a bloody pulp]], his guts forming the word RETRY as MX lifts his foot. |
| 244 | ** Losing "Demise" has Boyfriend trip and fall, with MX [[TrampledUnderfoot squashing him flat]] as he runs past. |
| 245 | ** Losing "Promotion" has Stanley slowly fade into view from a black void, as [[MadnessMantra a voice repeats "number 9" over and over]], before Stanley turns to face the camera. |
| 246 | ** [[spoiler:Losing "All-Stars" has Ultra M impale Boyfriend through the head with a metal spear, providing taunting voice lines that often reference previous song names and if Girlfriend is the one singing when losing, she gets impaled through the chest with a spear.]] |
| 247 | ** [[spoiler:Losing "Unbeatable" has the TV’s connection cut out, as the No signal sign flashes between “no signal”, “game over”, and “[[CharacterCatchphrase you cannot beat us]]”.]] |
| 248 | * MonochromaticImpactShot: [[spoiler:"All-Stars" ends with a red-and-black shot of Boyfriend's impaled corpse.]] |
| 249 | * MoodWhiplash: The first island the player can go to once they reach the overworld is Irregularity Isle, meaning the fairly serious "Starman Slaughter" is immediately followed by a joke song against Creator/ChrisPratt. |
| 250 | * MythologyGag: [[MythologyGag/FridayNightFunkinMariosMadness Wouldn’t be an FNF Creepypasta mod without them!]] |
| 251 | * NoIndoorVoice: [[spoiler:Racist Mario]] starts his song with a TitleScream, and his vocals in V1 are sampled from various Mario screams. |
| 252 | ** The Wario Apparition’s no slouch either. Forbidden Star starts with “WELCOME TO [[VideoGame/WarioWorld WARIO WORLD!]]” and his vocals are sampled from [[LargeHam Wario himself]]. |
| 253 | * OminousLatinChanting: The song "No hope" includes this. |
| 254 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 255 | ** To make it clear just how much of a threat M and MX are, Girlfriend is shown to be scared of them despite being an extremely FearlessFool in canon. She also seems to look rather disturbed by Beta Luigi and is shocked by [[spoiler:Racist Mario's TitleScream (though she quickly gets back to normal)]]. |
| 256 | ** Boyfriend himself is terrified of the Wario Apparition, and spends the entire song trying to run away from it. |
| 257 | * OriginalGeneration: |
| 258 | ** Unlike everybody else in V1, GB is an original character created by the main developer. |
| 259 | ** In V2, [[spoiler:Ultra M, the final form of M/Horror Mario, is an original design for the mod.]] |
| 260 | * PoisonMushroom: Literally in “It’s A Me” and “Golden Land”, where they deal damage upon being hit. |
| 261 | * TheQuietOne: Beta Luigi sadly mumbles, unlike the others' more bombastic tones. |
| 262 | ** GB is also pretty quiet before he reveals his true colors. |
| 263 | * {{Retraux}}: The first 40 seconds of "Golden Land" is entirely 8-Bit, complete with the song's starting part being a rendition of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins''[='=]s main theme. |
| 264 | * SequentialBoss: |
| 265 | ** [[spoiler:"All-Stars" takes place in four "Acts", with Act 1 being Ultra M's first section, Act 2 featuring Omega M and mutilated forms of Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi, Act 3 seeing Ultra M use Girlfriend's corpse as a puppet, and Act 4 having Ultra M sing himself again.]] |
| 266 | ** Similarly, [[spoiler:"Unbeatable" is divided into four "Levels", each with a different opponent. Level 1 has the representative, Mr. [=SyS=], Level 2 has the [[VideoGame/DuckHunt Duck Hunt Dog]], Level 3 has [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 SMB1 Bowser]], and level 4 has all three]]. |
| 267 | * SexyWhateverOutfit: During "I HATE YOU" and "Dark Forest", Girlfriend is inexplicably wearing a Mario outfit that shows her legs. |
| 268 | * ShooOutTheClowns: The only characters [[spoiler:Ultra M doesn't use the chromatics of in "All-Stars" Act 4]] are the few taken much less seriously than the others (those being Super Bad Mario, LDO Mario, Racist Mario, and the cast of Irregularity Isle). |
| 269 | * ShoutOut: If you pause the game, then wait for a bit, "Creative Exercise" from VideoGame/MarioPaint starts playing in the background. |
| 270 | * SolemnEndingTheme: The song that plays over the credits of the game is "[[https://youtu.be/6P-s8FBDIxA?si=bKAda9JriyG3J2W5 A Mad World Without You]]", a song sung by M that suggests that even after [[spoiler: killing Boyfriend and Girlfriend and getting his revenge against Daddy Dearest, he does regret doing so, in some capacity.]] |
| 271 | * SoundtrackDissonance: The first half of "Golden Land" is a rendition of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins''[='=]s main theme, fitting for the {{Retraux}} aesthetic… until GB shows his face, at which point it shifts into ''[[AutobotsRockOut heavy metal music]]'' for seemingly no other reason than RuleOfCool. |
| 272 | * StuffBlowingUp: [[spoiler:Racist Mario uses Bob-Ombs. The stuff blowing up in this situation is Boyfriend.]] |
| 273 | * SummonBackupDancers: During "I HATE YOU", three eyeless boos and later two drowned Mario corpses appear to bob their heads to the beat of the song. |
| 274 | * TakeThatAudience: IHY!Luigi delivers quite the type during the [=FunkKast=] trailer, clearly frustrated by several recent trends in the FNF community. |
| 275 | -->"You do realise the team members are doing this for free and for fun, right-a? They are actual people with lives and schedules that aren't entirely dedicated to making Friday Night Funkin' mods! Those-a Twitter people don't care about the mod; they probably won't even play it themselves! You (GB) have a LOT of nerve to be saying all of this to me!" |
| 276 | * TitleScream: [[spoiler:Racist Mario]] shouts the name of his song at the beginning of "Race Traitors". |
| 277 | -->'''[[spoiler:Racist Mario]]''': You're not Nintendo! You're… You're [=PREtendo!=] You're all… '''RACE TRAITORS!''' |
| 278 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Compared to all of the other opponents in the mod, Beta Luigi doesn't seem to have any bad intentions and his song is by far the slowest and easiest in the entire mod. |
| 279 | * WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:The cast of "Unbeatable" and "All-Stars", since the mod (for the most part) hides them and their songs until you’ve beaten the other songs.]] |
| 280 | * WhamShot: |
| 281 | ** A meta example for those who caught up with the development of the mod. During the mod’s development, one of the characters featured was a Super Mario Bros 3 EXE, who was scrapped during development due to being leaked. [[spoiler:At the start of "All-Stars" Act 2, the player sees two eyes staring at them, and [[RefittedForSequel guess who shows up once the charting starts?]]]] |
| 282 | ** [[spoiler:Right at the end of "All-Stars", just as it seems Boyfriend might end the song victorious, [[SuddenDownerEnding a large spike pops out behind him and skewers him through the heart]].]] |
| 283 | * WhyTheFandomCantHaveNiceThings: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in the [=FunkKast=] trailer, when IHY!Luigi voices his frustrations over [[TakeThatAudience the audience's drama on Twitter/X/whatever over the fact the staff doesn't waste their entire lives on FNF mods causing the cancelation of]] [[VideoGame/VsSonicExe several other]] [[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinLullaby creepypasta-themed mods]]. |
| 284 | * WouldHitAGirl: |
| 285 | ** M slices Super Horror Peach in half mid-"Starman Slaughter" after she and Yoshi.exe knocks him into the lava and steal his show. |
| 286 | ** [[spoiler: Girlfriend isn't immune from any damage at all: she's torn in half by MX during "POWERDOWN", impaled through the chest by Ultra M if failing in "All-Stars", and she's ultimately disembowelled and used by the latter as a new husk along with Boyfriend. And since it's implied that every Mario character are all just Horror Mario's husks, that means that M kills Girlfriend ''twice''.]] |
| 287 | * YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler: Girlfriend is kidnapped by Ultra M at the start of "All-Stars" Act 2, but by the time Boyfriend deals with the act's opponents and reaches Act 3, she was already murdered and he is forced to fight her puppeteered corpse.]] |
| 288 | -->[[spoiler: "''YOU TRIED AND YET YOU FAILED TO SAVE HER.''"]] |
| 289 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: According to the backstory in the [=FunkKast=] trailer, Daddy Dearest made a deal with a hive mind in the video game market known simply as [[OneLetterName M]], and earned millions of dollars of years through the partnership with Nintendo. After having earned enough money from the collaboration, however, Dearest betrayed M and sealed him in the cartridge that Boyfriend would later receive. |
