* [[CruelTwistEnding The endings, just, the endings]]. [[EarnYourHappyEnding Most of them, at any rate]]. The worst one of all has to be ''"Tragedy"'' ending which shows [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt exactly what entails should she be freed with the way she is now]].

** In the Insane Route, it is possible to kill him at different points of the story which can affect the story to an extent. By far, however, the worst way to kill him is by unknowingly giving him a flask of holy water when he needs something to drink. As a demon, it burns him terribly, so he decides to make it stop by snatching Mario's knife…and repeatedly driving it into the side of his head, howling and screaming in agony all the way until he drops dead from it, shocking a poor Mario who had to watch it all. He may be able to come back from the experience as an immortal demon, but it is still a very painful way to go.

** Also, look at Mario closely when the door kills him: both of his hands are free. The lantern is very likely smashed into him. Yeesh...

* If Mario tries heading toward the garden area through the left wing by himself, [[HellIsThatNoise a distant, demented voice]] will prompt Mario to hide in a crate. As it's prowling about, Mario can choose to sneak a peek at it; doing so will let him catch a brief glimpse of it, [[EvilLaugh not hearing its laughter while he's at it]]. In the original, Mario is greeted with a pale spirit with [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow]] and {{black eyes of crazy}} while the remastered version instead has the head maid Marie who's become a [[FleshEatingZombie cannibal]], both saying "Heeheeheehee… I found you!" as they stare ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou dead at the screen]].'' What the original spirit [[NothingIsScarier did to Mario was left unseen as he gags]] but Marie proceeds to [[EatenAlive have Mario as a feast]] which is no less horrifying. Both of these spirits together provide the page picture up above.

* The right wing has yet another nasty surprise. A door up north will lead to a room with one of the two music sheets needed for Aria and a spirit girl named Beatrice [[ShearMenace holding a pair of scissors]]. If Mario doesn't bust the door open in time or if he walks up to her, he'll be forced up against the door, frantically telling Beatrice to keep away. She asks the man if he's her daddy, telling him how much she missed him and begging him to never leave her alone again. He's about to tell her that he's not her father until she gets him.
* Mario needs to have gotten a key from Aria (after getting two music sheets in rooms where spirits tried to kill Mario) to get to the kitchen. If Mario inspects the freezer room, he'll find it completely functioning, much to his surprise. Something shuts the freezer door on him, leaving him to die freezing to death. The man can't even cry because of how cold it is, and a child's spirit approaches the man, telling him to accept his fate.

* Later, Luigi will encounter a painting or phantom of Mario and if Luigi fails to fight off the phantom, he'll die by either a break to the neck or strangulation. This death can actually occur twice, depending on the location in where Luigi is at. The second time, Luigi is hung by the phantom by a noose.
* If Luigi never picked up a picture of Rosa, and goes into the bathroom, a ghost named Alfred will attack and kill Luigi if he gets too close. A bit later, if Luigi gave the picture to Alfred, he will still try to kill Luigi in a different scene.

** Two, if Mario stays behind, he can offer to give the light to Riba. Riba states that he doesn't need it, to which Mario counters that he isn't going anywhere. Riba takes the light, but shortly after Mario feels bad about letting him go alone and follows him. Mario enters the hallway to see a spirit feasting upon Riba's body. Once the spirit finishes, she realizes that Mario is nearby and holds him down so that she can eat him too.
** Finally, if Mario keeps the light and lets Riba go on his own, if Riba encounters the same spirit as before, the same death scene will play out, but with a slight difference. It's revealed that Riba did in fact initially survive, but the spirit quickly realizes this and finishes him off.

** Should Riba choose to jump out of the cabinet (which is also the right option), he will try and strangle Mario. Should Riba fail on the first or second attempt, the spirit possessing Mario will regain power and she will kill Riba.
** Finally, should Riba successfully choke Mario twice, Mario will plead for his life. If Riba keeps on choking him, he'll say that he's lost all control wanting to get rid of the spirit possessing Mario, and kills Mario in the process. Riba shows great remorse and shame while he can hear the spirit laugh at him.

** Mario will pull out a knife and not know where it came from. Riba can choose to lie to Mario or tell the truth. If he tells the truth, the spirit that was haunting Mario will control him again. Riba states that Mario was chasing him and that he had to strangle Mario. The spirit will then attack Riba, with Riba accidentally dropping his glasses and the spirit putting the knife up to Riba's eye. Riba tries to plead with Mario to no avail.
** Should Riba lie, he is then prompted whether or not to tell Mario about Luigi. Telling the truth here results in two different, very sad, death scenes. Mario will become concerned about Luigi and go to find him, against Riba's knowledge and advice. Mario will find Luigi in the cellar where he was last left off. Luigi will believe Mario is another phantom and attempt to strangle him, resulting in Mario choosing to plead to Luigi or trying to find a weapon.

*** If Mario pleads to Luigi, he will fail to get through and Luigi will strangle and kill him. Although Mario can't see, he can hear Luigi's cries. Mario tries to comfort Luigi, but to no avail. Luigi then bashes himself over the head as Mario hears a large crash and no longer hears Luigi's voice, hinting that Luigi killed himself. Mario's hearing starts to fade as he pleads that this all be a nightmare.
* After Riba talks with Mario, the two head back to the chasm and cross it, only for Mario to be so exhausted that he can't move. Riba decides to go ahead and see if there is something for Mario to eat. This section holds two deaths.

** Second, Riba comes across a small cave full of mushrooms in hopes of giving Mario a boost to go on, being provided many different choices to give Mario. However, only the classic red Super Mushroom itself buried in the dirt will do anything for Mario which ''still'' isn't much given the man's sheer exhaustion (and Riba is lucky to have found it since it is said to be very rare outside of growing in the Mushroom Kingdom), and everything else will either be no good or—worse—kill him. Any purple mushroom—including the infamous skull-capped Poison Mushroom itself—will cause Mario start to spaz out and vomit up blood before he bites it; given how the Super Mushroom only barely allows Mario to keep going, the Poison Mushroom killing him so horribly is not a pretty sight. The one dark red mushroom (which looks similar to a classic Super Mushroom) will make Mario's neck melt from the inside out and cause his head to fly off his shoulders as blood sprays out from his neck. The ghostly white mushrooms are parasitoids of the cordyceps type that cause more of them to grow inside the host until the host themselves becomes nothing but a pile of these mushrooms, and Mario ends up collapsing into Riba's arms before turning into a pile of these mushrooms.

* Once Mario picks up a medallion half, he hears a crash and notes that the pain is getting worse. Then he notices a picture of Princess Peach on the wall in front of him. Already knowing it's out of place, Mario then sees the normal face of Princess Peach change into a sinister smile one after claiming the ringing in his head is getting louder. A spirit beckons Mario to turn around, and Mario notes the spirit is holding a poisonous syringe in her hand. Mario attempts to run around to find a way to escape the spirit, but if he gets caught and fails to escape her, the poison will be injected into his body, slowly killing him. Once again, the remastered version changes this into a portrait of Mercy before the spirit tries to poison Mario herself while disguised as Peach.

*** Presenting only Alfred's letter will result in Rosa's spirit not being put to rest, but thanking Luigi for his help. Again, Luigi loses consciousness and wakes up to a bloody Mario. Luigi then looks at his hands to see them covered with blood and holding a large stone. Luigi then remembers that he brutally killed Mario with it by bashing him to death (once again a victim of Rosa's possession) and apologizes for what he did.
*** If Luigi presents only the engagement ring, he'll try to calm Rosa's spirit by telling her that Alfred is waiting for her. Rosa will then get angry with Luigi for trying to set her up with Alfred, claiming he was a horrible man. For this attempt, Rosa will throw Mario's body all around as revenge against Luigi and eventually kill Mario. Luigi, feeling guilty about causing his brother's death, will state that he can't go on anymore, and presumably kill himself.

** After putting Rosa's spirit to peace, and sprinkling the mix onto Mario, the spirit possessing Mario will flee to the rooftop, resulting in the showdown between Mario and the spirit Alice. If Mario fails to escape Alice after her grip tightens (by failing to escape Alice the first time), his head will be severed off of his body, and he realizes he failed to save everyone. The remastered version replaces this with a fare more brutal death should Alice deplete Mario's health before her health is depleted; it is an exercise in pure sadism as Alice has Mario held up by dark tendrils, slowly pulling him apart at the legs despite his pleas to stop, and she finally rips one of his legs off with cruel laughter. Alice has every reason to kill Mario immediately, but here she is taking her sweet time picking him apart piece by piece for her own sick amusement, showing just how much hate she has for the world and everyone around her. To make it worse, we hear Mario let out an excruciating scream recorded by the Youtuber Slick Frame as his leg gets ripped off his body and he gets torn apart.

* At one point, Luigi comes across a shrine of sorts with Riba standing right in front of an unconscious Mario. Luigi asks Riba what he's doing with Mario, only for Riba to laugh maniacally and to state that Luigi is still alive, despite Alice's attempts. Riba will then attempt to kill Luigi himself, and should Luigi fail to fight Riba off, Riba will stab him repeatedly and kill Luigi. Then he will resume the ritual, leaving no distractions behind.
* Finally, during a final confrontation with Alice, who is almost done usurping Mario for her own, should Luigi be unable to fight off Alice for the third time, he'll die through some unknown means.

** One of the first deaths in the ARC Expansion is getting locked into a gas chamber with no way out unless you have the gas mask with you. The insane route is still horrible (having Mario ceaselessly hack up blood), but the sane route is worse where Mario eventually succumbs before collapsing, only to wake up to the feeling of being stabbed over and over and over while he can't do anything about it; the revamped demo reveals the culprit to be what looks like ''Peach'' doing the deed.

** Ever thought how weird it was to not run into any animals out to get you too? Evangeline fixes that as well, throwing in a [[CreepyCrows literal murder of crows]] picking Mario apart if you bother the birds enough, [[SpidersAreScary giant spiders]] commanded by Aurora that will eat you alive if you don't evade them, (nevermind Aurora herself when [[SpiderPeople she transforms]]), a [[SavageWolves pack of wolves]] that will devour Mario in the forests if you aren't careful, and lastly being cornered by a big-ass ''[[BearsAreBadNews bear]]'' that will rip Mario to pieces if you take too many wrong turns in a certain part of the woods.

** Running into Luciano is never a good thing on either route (although he can be pacified on the Sane Route), but on the Insane Route where he would normally chase you, he is now on ''fire'' when he chases you down. Similarly, several doors are blockaded with flames when trying to escape Luciano's vengeful ghost, and should you fail to escape him he will burn you alive much like how he had suffered in the past at Marchionne's hand.

*** If Mario chooses to try to find a weapon, he will see the knife he had and stab Luigi with it. Luigi will let Mario go and turn his expression from fear into happiness. Luigi apologizes for not being a better brother and Mario apologizes for stabbing him, knowing he shouldn't have. Luigi compliments his brother on how Mario is more important to the Mushroom Kingdom than he is, with Mario saying that Luigi is important to the Mushroom Kingdom. Luigi states he was only a shadow to Mario, a shadow that doesn't need to exist anymore. With Luigi close to death, he states that he will always love him and thanks Mario for ending his life. Mario tries to tell Luigi to not leave him and that he loves him , but Luigi dies before he can finish his sentence. Mario, grief-stricken by what he had done, plunges the knife into his own chest, ending his own life. He then realizes that Riba was right, that he shouldn't have gone looking for him.

** After putting Rosa's spirit to peace, and sprinkling the mix onto Mario, the spirit possessing Mario will flee to the rooftop, resulting in the showdown between Mario and the spirit Alice. If Mario fails to escape Alice after her grip tightens (by failing to escape Alice the first time), his head will be severed off of his body, and he realizes he failed to save everyone. The remastered version replaces this with a fare more brutal death should Alice deplete Mario's health before her health is depleted; it is an exercise in pure sadism as Alice has Mario held up by dark tendrils, slowly pulling him apart at the legs despite his pleas to stop, and she finally rips one of his legs off with cruel laughter. Alice has every reason to kill Mario immediately, but here she is taking her sweet time picking him apart piece by piece for her own sick amusement, showing just how much hate she has for the world and everyone around her. To make it worse, we hear Mario let out an agonizing scream as his leg is ripped off, scream recorded by the Youtuber Slick Frame.

* When entering the aforementioned forest, Mario will come across a sign that says "Forest of Suicide" and Luigi reads that "Those who get lost will end up losing their minds from the darkness of this forest. Proceed with caution." The next sign they come across reads, "If you get lost, you will end up committing suicide. So don't get lost." Obviously, going the wrong way here will result in Mario and Luigi being separated, and Luigi hanging himself. After Mario finds him, he sees halls of trees with Luigi hanging on them. Mario will then fall unconscious and when he wakes up, his possessed body will hang himself, painfully killing him.

* [[KnightTemplar Marchione]] turned his town into a military dictatorship and ruled it with an iron fist. Just imagine what it must have been to live under such a paranoid and homicidal HangingJudge.

* When Team Ari announced they'd be remastering the first game to coincide with the art-style and story building of the ''ARC Expansion'', [[UpToEleven you'd know they'd make changes to make the original even scarier]]. And they did.

'''Administrivia/SpoilersOff applies to Moments pages.'''

[[WordOfGod The creator admitted to creating]] [[NauseaFuel this gruesome horror game]] to [[CreatorBreakdown help deal with their personal health issues]]... and IT REALLY SHOWS.

** Only one classic Mario enemy makes an appearance here, and it is Boos. Much like the hostile spirits in Evangeline, they will harm you should you come into contact with them, and if Mario takes too many hits, they will corner him right in front of a ditch likely lined with spikes waiting for him below. Seeing a classic Mario enemy in Evangeline at all even if they are ghosts, capable of getting Mario brutally killed, just feels inherently ''wrong'', and it makes one wonder what they are doing there in the first place.

* Mario and Luigi can crawl into a small crevice when exploring the mines, and Mario will find the remains of Alice with a photo of her and Riba's wedding. When Mario attempts to leave, we are treated to the nasty surprise of Alice herself seemingly springing to life with blood pouring down her head where Riba struck her dead. Armed with a pickaxe, Alice will drive it through Mario's head if he fails to escape her. Really, though, the scariest part is how quickly Alice ditched Mario's body to jump back into hers and try kill him, and if he does manage to escape her, she goes right back to inhabiting his body. Just that quick, she would have been able to leave and destroy the world all because Mario got curious and stumbled upon her remains.

*** If you thought Mercy impersonating Peach and trying to poison Mario was bad, whatever ''this'' "Peach" is proves to be far more brutal. Many additional deaths feature Mario either not being able to find a hiding place in time only to be confronted or picks a poor hiding spot before he is found and murdered, but it is the one where he does not hide in time and the smaller cabinet that he stays in that ''really'' stand out in the revamped demo. In these cases, we are treated to a shot of "Peach's" smiling face right before Mario is murdered—one of the most disturbing {{game face}} that will haunt you. It ''might'' be better if you watched the intro and saw the face for yourself to lessen the shock of it later, but seriously, '''do not''' look at these at night—you have been warned.

** Second, Riba comes across a small cave full of mushrooms in hopes of giving Mario a boost to go on, being provided many different choices to give Mario. However, only the classic red Super Mushroom itself buried in the dirt will do anything for Mario which ''still'' isn't much given the man's sheer exhaustion (and Riba is lucky to have found it since it is said to be very rare outside of growing in the Mushroom Kingdom), and everything else will either be no good or—worse—kill him. two mushrooms, one red and one purple. Any purple mushroom—including the infamous skull-capped Poison Mushroom itself—will cause Mario start to spaz out and vomit up blood before he bites it; given how the Super Mushroom only barely allows Mario to keep going, the Poison Mushroom killing him so horribly is not a pretty sight. The one dark red mushroom (which looks similar to a classic Super Mushroom) will make Mario's neck melt from the inside out and cause his head to fly off his shoulders as blood sprays out from his neck. The ghostly white mushrooms are parasitoids of the cordyceps type that cause more of them to grow inside the host until the host themselves becomes nothing but a pile of these mushrooms, and Mario ends up collapsing into Riba's arms before turning into a pile of these mushrooms.

* The seemingly one-shot spirit Beatrice, the one who kills Mario with scissors if he does not escape her, turns out to be the one who gave Anna the idea to kill Serina and spare her from the ritual, goading her by playing on her hatred of Serina getting preferential treatment from Alice over Anna and telling her that it was for Serina's own good.

** Second, Riba comes across two mushrooms, one red and one purple. As a nod to Mario games, the red mushroom cures Mario. However, should Riba feed Mario the purple mushroom, Mario will start to spaz out as he asks what Riba fed him. Riba says that he doesn't know, and Mario dies shortly after.

* When Mario finds a bookshelf with blood splattered all over it, he can choose to read Diary Entry 6/7. Doing so will reveal that someone has killed more children and feels very remorseful. After this, Mario will be unable to move or speak, and blood is dripping out of his nose. Then, three shadowy children's souls (presumably all female) engulf Mario in pure darkness. Mario hears cries of pain as he can't fight against the darkness, and wanders in the darkness for the rest of his life.
* Once Mario picks up a medallion half, he hears a crash and notes that the pain is getting worse. Then he notices a picture of Princess Peach on the wall in front of him. Already knowing it's out of place, Mario then sees the normal face of Princess Peach change into a demonic-looking one after claiming the ringing in his head is getting louder. A spirit beckons Mario to turn around, and Mario notes the spirit is holding a poisonous syringe in her hand. Mario attempts to run around to find a way to escape the spirit, but if he gets caught and fails to escape her, the poison will be injected into his body, slowly killing him.

** The next section involves Mario being possessed by the spirit again, after finding Luigi. This section holds five separate deaths.
*** First, the possessed Mario will tell Luigi to enter a room. If Luigi accepts, he will be locked in the room for three days, starving and thirsting the whole time, while looking for something to eat and pleading that Mario opens the door. He will then state that he brutally hates Mario, and then states that he can only think of one thing left to do. He'll then, in a burst of dark comedy, state that he doesn't need his arm anyways.

*** Saying Alfred's name only results in someone knocking Luigi out and hanging Mario. When Luigi comes to, he sees Mario on the noose, and tries to resuscitate him to no avail. What Luigi says next implies that Mario hung himself, meaning Rosa didn't help out and let Mario remain possessed. The other possibility is that Rosa knocked out Luigi and hung Mario herself.
*** Presenting only Alfred's letter will result in Rosa's spirit not being put to rest, but thanking Luigi for his help. Luigi again loses consciousness and wakes up to a bloody Mario. Luigi then looks at his hands to see them covered with blood and holding a large stone. Luigi then remembers that he brutally killed Mario, and apologizes for what he did. It's possible that Rosa possessed Luigi to enact revenge not on Mario, but on the spirit possessing Mario for causing her to kill herself.

*** Finally, once Luigi gets the engagement ring, Alfred will try to kill Luigi. If Luigi fails to escape, he will wake up in a coffin next to Mario's already deceased body. Luigi, guessing Mario suffocated due to panicking, holds on to Mario's hand as he states that he will join him soon.
** After putting Rosa's spirit to peace, and sprinkling the mix onto Mario, the spirit possessing Mario will flee to the rooftop, resulting in the showdown between Mario and the spirit Alice. If Mario fails to escape Alice after her grip tightens (by failing to escape Alice the first time), his head will be severed off of his body, and he realizes he failed to save everyone.

* If Mario enters the same room that the girl with scissors was in earlier, the girl will kill Mario. Then when Luigi enters, she will kill him too, all while saying how much fun it is to kill people.
* If Mario checks the furnace that he didn't want to check earlier, he will find a key to the forest gate. However, a spirit will try to drag Mario into the furnace and kill him. Luigi will appear in a possessed state, being unable to help Mario. If Mario fails to escape the spirit himself, the spirit will burn Mario alive.

** Once Mario gets to Evangeline, he finds that Alice's aura of dread will not save him from some of the spirits who are more than happy to kill Mario in place of the Aduraice Mansion's spirits who would bolt the second they realize she's there even on the Insane Route. In fact, after dealing with Toadstone, you can be murdered by hostile spirits roaming the dilapidated streets out to kill the living on sight.

* The garden area has a large gap that Mario can try to jump over (he'll note that it doesn't seem safe to do so, tipping the player off). You'd expect his legendary jumping prowess to pull him through this one, don't you? Well... ''[[SubvertedTrope it doesn't]]'', and unlike the 3D ''Mario'' games, he doesn't [[FallingDamage just take fall damage once he touches down]], [[DisneyVillainDeath he dies from it]].

* The right wing has yet another nasty surprise. A door up north will lead to a room with one of the two music sheets needed for Aria and a spirit girl [[ShearMenace holding a pair of scissors]]. If Mario doesn't bust the door open in time or if he walks up to the girl, he'll be forced up against the door, frantically telling the spirit to keep away. She asks the man if he's her daddy, telling him how much she missed him and begging him to never leave her alone again. He's about to tell her that he's not her father until she gets him.

** In the Insane Route, it is possible to kill him at different points of the story which can affect the story to an extent. By far, however, the worst way to kill him is by unknowingly give him a bottle of holy water when he needs something to drink. As a demon, it burns him terribly, so he decides to make it stop by snatching Mario's knife…and repeatedly driving it into the side of his head, howling and screaming in agony all the way until he drops dead from it, shocking a poor Mario who had to watch it all. He may be able to come back from the experience as an immortal demon, but it is still a very painful way to go.

* Riba in the Sane Route, he turns on the brothers for no clearly defined reason and just spends the route doing his level best to ''[[AxCrazy kill]]'' them, the FinalBoss battle against him and the ''Absent'' ending are by far the worst though.

* [[CruelTwistEnding The endings, just, the endings]]. [[EarnYourHappyEnding Most of them, at any rate]].

* The [[ForWantOfANail disparity]] shown between the [[TheFettered Sane]] and [[SanitySlippage Insane]] routes is jarring—all it takes to send Mario spiraling into madness is witnessing Alice taking his own hands and murdering his beloved Princess Peach (and even if it was not the real Peach, it is a highlight of Alice's wrath). Things in that route continue to go downhill for him

* '''[[NightmareFuelStationAttendant LEN]] [[TheSociopath ALWENA]] [[TheSpook FOSKA]]'''. ''Everything about her!!'' But since this type of entries should be more specific, let's list a few reasons why [[CatsAreMean this kitty]] is one of the scariest characters in Internet Gaming, shall we?

** While [[MaskOfSanity it's relatively well hidden]], she's an absolutely AxCrazy [[TheSociopath psychopath]]. While these qualities aren't evident in her normal mannerisms, the absolutely '''brutal''' deaths she gives Mario in her HopelessBossFight show she's just as blood-crazed as the spirits she corrupted, if not more.
** [[InvincibleVillain She cannot be defeated in any way]], [[InvincibleBoogeymen She can't even be]] ''[[InvincibleBoogeymen FOUGHT]]''. This does make sense considering what [[AllegoricalCharacter she embodies and represents]] but it doesn't make her any less scary, quite the opposite in fact.
** [[NothingIsScarier Nothing is revealed about her]]. We don't know what she wants, where she came from, just how old she is or even ''what'' she is exactly. Nor do we know much about her connections to other characters.

* The game is loaded with death traps after you get the music box: a whopping ''forty-seven'' different ways to die. For those who don't want descriptions, how's about we link you to a video instead? Here it is, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfy3kyX8djc all forty-seven game overs in their glory]]. Sweet dreams.

** She is the story's GreaterScopeVillain. All (or at least, ''most'') of the horror that has happened is a direct or indirect result of her machinations.
** While [[MaskOfSanity it's relatively well hidden]], she's an absolutely AxCrazy [[TheSociopath psychopath]].

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/81.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Hello there. This is your friendly neighborhood spirit leaving you with a helpful reminder: '''[[EverythingTryingToKillYou YOU.]] [[HaveANiceDeath AREN'T.]] [[NothingIsScarier SAFE.]] ''[[ParanoiaFuel ANYWHERE...]]''' '']]

* If Mario tries heading toward the garden area through the left wing by himself, [[HellIsThatNoise a distant, demented voice]] will prompt Mario to hide in a crate. As it's prowling about, Mario can choose to sneak a peek at it; doing so will let him catch a brief glimpse of it, [[EvilLaugh not hearing its laughter while he's at it]]. It suddenly sticks a hand in the crack while peering inside with its {{black eyes of crazy}} ([[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou dead at the screen too]]), saying "Heeheeheehee... I found you!" The spirit happens to be the one up at the top of the page, providing you with the page picture.

* The forest area past the first floor's right hallway has a pond. Investigating it will let Mario and the player know that [[GrimyWater it's still and has lost its natural color]]. As if they needed another red flag, a sign nearby says "PLEASE DO___ SWIM IN THE WATER" ("PLEASE ''DON'T'' SWIM IN THE WATER" much?). If Mario decides to swim through it anyway, he makes it across, unlike the above death, but he's slowly trudging on before coming to a stop. His face is shadowed and he comments on how something in his body is burning. That's the last we hear him say before he collapses, dead. Please take note of how Mario literally just jumped in and jumped out after about a ''second''. ''That's'' how fast it kills him.

** [[NothingIsScarier Nothing is revealed about her]]. We don't know whhat she wants, where she came from, just how old she is or even ''what'' she is exactly. Nor do we know much about her connections to other characters.

* When Mario finally makes it into the only lit room in the mansion, we get to clearly see some of the damage of time: busted and clawed furniture, more holes in the ground, dust and cobwebs, and a ''fresh puddle of blood'' right on the ground in front of the [[BlatantLies innocuous little music box]] which is winding up completely by itself (which Mario touched to find that part out). Not long after touching the music box, a small roar/screeching sound is heard. Cue a glass shattering sound, the light going out, and a lantern mysteriously appearing next to Mario. The lantern itself goes on to become the only light source available throughout the entire game (and it's noted that it's unknown what keeps it lit). Leaving the room afterward to finally explore more of the place, we see ''large blood spills on the floor and walls that were literally not there seconds ago'', including a message saying ''"Take the exit"''. Before leaving the hallway, wee see text saying "It's going to be mine. It's mine!".

* The earliest death you can get in the game is also the most abrupt and the least expected, considering that there's no such warning beforehand. Mario inspects the middle door on the second floor in the foyer, finding it to be a painted-on door. As he's going over how out of place it is and wondering why it's there, ''[[DoorSlamsYou BAM!]]'' [[KilledMidSentence He's dead.]] The door does not do this before Mario has gotten the music box, nor when Luigi's around.

** First, Riba can talk to a female spirit and after some dialogue, she asks if he decided to figure out the truth. If Riba says yes, a possessed Mario will appear from behind a pillar as the spirit states that there is something she wants to say first, the same thing Riba kept telling her. Riba realizes that Mario is behind him as Mario continuously says: "Kill more..." The possessed Mario asks Riba if he remembers those words and then states that ''he'' killed off everyone in the home, and that the ritual that was to merge Riba's soul and the spirit together, with Riba asking what Mario is talking about. The possessed Mario then kills Riba by stabbing him repeatedly.
