* '''[[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Unagis]] are back''', and in full unholy HD. That is all that should be needed to be said.

* '''The giant eel from Jolly Roger Bay is back.''' That is all that should be needed to be said.

** [[NightmareRetardant Unless, of course, they're wearing a hat of their own]]. [[WeaksauceWeakness Then it doesn't work.]]

* Mario's Capture ability lets him possess just about anything and anyone, even inanimate objects. If someone evil got their hands on it ''nothing would be safe''.

* Okay, so Bowser crushing Mario's hat isn't very nightmare-fuely. But the fact that said hat is now sentient ''makes'' it nightmare-fuely. Let's hope Bowser crushed the cap before Cappy started living there...

* Just in case you thought [[VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker the Mud Troopers and Mummy Mes]] weren't scary enough, this game introduces Chinchos, who share similarities to those two enemies. They appear to be mummified spiritual beings like the Mummy Mes. For the Mud Troopers, they share their slow pace as they home in on you with their arms outstretched, with sad eyes that can be as heartbreaking as they are terrifying. What better pick for the Day of the Dead apparently being celebrated here at Tostarena? They provide the page image, amigos.

*** What if it's the mysterious [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 Shiverburn]] figures? or, one of them at least... like that makes it any better...

This is the first mainstream Mario game to get an E10+ rating. This will be darker than your average Mario game.

* Mario's Capture ability lets him possess just about anything, even inanimate objects. If someone evil got their hands on it ''nothing would be safe''.
** The cruelty potential of Mario's power is immense. You could murder someone, and then frame the person you controlled as the murderer. You could do a low risk robbery by taking over one of the guards that transport the money in and out of the bank. Hell, you could take over the mind of a rich person and have them transfer a portion of their money to your bank account. The possibilities really could go on and on.
*** Thankfully, you can't possess anyone already wearing a hat.
** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/6lf3o5/nintendo_says_there_are_no_game_overs_ever_in/djtmuvy/ This Reddit post]] really sums up the inherent FridgeHorror of the Capture ability. "There are no more {{Game Over}}s", indeed.

An interesting theory made by [=GameXPlain=] is that these are the ghosts of the ancestors of the individual Tostarenan citizens...though said citizens' terrified reaction of their presence and the fact that they hurt you makes one question things.

* This takes place in an area called the Deep Woods, which is terrifying itself. It's dark and moody, shadows obscuring everything until you actually get near it. The area also has absolutely no music, only ambient noises, which adds to the creep factor. Oh yeah, and there's a ''Tyrannosaurus rex living down there.'' We don't blame Mario for shaking in his boots during his IdleAnimation.
