* ''Fanfic/MegamiNoHanabira:'' Take the characters from the SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}-y GirlsLove VisualNovel series ''Sono Hanabira Ni Kuchizuke Wo'' (A Kiss for the Petals) and drop a ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor''-style demon outbreak on them and what do you get? [[DownplayedTrope A surprisingly upbeat]] ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' story, but that's only because that series has a very low bar to clear. It's still leagues of magnitude darker than anything you'd see in [=SonoHana=], with plenty of [[BreakTheCutie trauma and despair]] to go around.

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** ''WebAnimation/MarioBrothers'' takes the concept of the first ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' game--Koopa kidnapping the Princess--and plays it deadly serious, giving the events epic scope and a tragic scale, especially by the ending where [[spoiler:everyone is dead]].
** ''FanFic/FallenKingdom'' (not to be confused with the ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' animation series of the same name) is a interesting tale taking place in a BadFuture where Bowser finally defeats Mario, with Luigi leading a resistance to take back the Mushroom World from the Koopa Empire. [[spoiler: That is until [[TheManBehindTheMan a secret organization is revealed to have been pulling the strings all along...]]]]
** ''Fanfic/WithBigShellsAndWings'' is an example both to the main Mario series and itself. It starts off rather light hearted, and then takes a descent into madness around the time [[KnightOfCerebus Trowzer]] is introduced.
** ''VideoGame/MarioTheMusicBox'' is outright said to be inspired by the ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'' series, and it shows. In it, Mario and Luigi find themselves in a haunted mansion- but unlike the more lighthearted ghosts from ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'', here the spirits are frightening and murderous, the GameOver scenes can get gruesome, the mansion and surrounding town has a horribly tragic backstory involving the [[BurnTheWitch medieval witch hunts]], and even the Mario brothers themselves turn out to have some heavy baggage in their hidden pasts.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' ROM hacks:
*** ''VideoGame/{{Eyeless}}'' is a bizarre hack where Mario has lost his eyes and must traverse a frightening monochrome maze full of strange enemies.
*** ''VideoGame/MariosMysteryMeat'' is a fanmade MilestoneCelebration for ''WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}'' that nevertheless contains a massive amount of SurrealHorror in which Sponge, the third Mario Brother, must escape the belly of an [[AnimalisticAbomination eldritch earthworm]].
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioDolor'' is a fangame where Mario must go through five levels to reach Bowser's Castle, but each level turns dark and haunted halfway through, the enemies become terrifying creatures, and the real plot concerns [[spoiler:Mario dealing with the grief of his brother's death]].

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' is a generally light-hearted series with characters from all across gaming history fight in a casual platform fighter and is rather light on lore. One of the darkest, if not, ''the darkest'', fanfics based on this is ''[[Fanfic/SuperSmashBrothersGuardiansArise Super Smash Bros.: Guardians Arise!]]''. To wit, Tabuu is a victorious EvilOverlord who [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enforces sadistic slavery]], endorses minions who commit genocide without whim, and is even implied to [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil have sexually assaulted people]]. The Smash Bros. roster spend nearly a century wallowing in their angst, and their Guardians aren't better either, sometimes being very, very antiheroic and jerkish. While it does have lighthearted moments, they stand out a lot due to how unfitting these moments are.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' is very far toward the idealistic side of the [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism sliding scale]], full of bright colors and empowering morals. But since almost none of the characters have any [[ParentalAbandonment living family]], the Exspheres that give the protagonists extra power are not only made from [[PoweredByAForsakenChild human souls]], but those souls are implied in some cases to be [[AndIMustScream still conscious]], and you have the option of [[spoiler:killing the HandsomeLech]], the canon seems practically ''designed'' to inspire Dark Fic.
