As with most forms of media, video games have since been a subject to parodies ever since they gained mainstream popularity in the early Eighties, with popular characters like [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], VideoGame/{{Sonic|the Hedgehog}} and the like getting their fair share of [[{{Expy}} expies]], or common gaming conventions such as [[AchievementSystem Achievement Systems]] and FirstPersonShooter mechanics being satirized or [[DeconstructionGame deconstructed]] either as a commentary on the industry, to simply poke fun at or pay homage to them or pop culture in general, or as a mere ShallowParody.

I don’t think the Luigi’s Mansion series was intended to be a parody of Survival Horror. They don’t parody or poke fun of Survival Horror tropes, they usually actually play a lot of the horror elements in those games mostly straight.

* ''VideoGame/MoonRemixRPGAdventure'' - Is almost, but not quite an example. The game heavily spoofs the genre conventions of [=JRPGs=], especially of [[UsefulNotes/The16bitEraOfConsoleVideoGames the 16-bit Era]], and even plays around with elements of {{Postmodernism}}, but as an AdventureGame in its own right, it is played perfectly straight.
