** A few days after the series officially ended, Greenio [[https://twitter.com/Greenio64/status/1291105490190184450 judged all nine tapes using a tier list]]. 03.11.97 is considered as being so utterly low in quality compared to the other tapes that it has its own section, most likely due to it merely consisting of "trying to unlock Luigi but Mario dies instead" and nothing else.

** A good chunk of memes uploaded to Greenio's Twitter following the series's conclusion, which play the circumstances of the tapes for laughs (including several images where [[spoiler: the AI, using its Textureless Mario Anomaly avatar]] is depicted as an aloof goofball that Mario and Luigi poke fun at rather than its more serious situation in the tapes), were at least partially out of their MagnumOpusDissonance for the series.
** The [[spoiler: reintroduction of the AI in season 2]] despite [[LyingCreator initial claims]] that season 2 represented a GenreShift from horror to realism was the result of caving into popular demand and the [[SacredCow inability for the community to remove itself from the iceberg or react well to criticizing it]], something Greenio has frequently mentioned negatively impacting her outlook on the tapes as part of her ArtistDisillusionment and MagnumOpusDissonance.

** A white Mario model representing Stanley watching the previous episodes and grovelling in despair.



** "Promo show" almost had an ending similar to 11.15.95 and the retconned ending of 07.29.95 in which the AI would speak using a text-to-speech program (specifically SAM, aka "Mortis.") It was cut for the same reason 07.29.95's monologue was removed, being an info dump that runs contrary to the theme of mystery present in the tapes.

** Greenio has stated that due to the fandom's tendency to demand additional playability from them (with precedent from the mixed reception to the release of ''VideoGame/BreakingTheBarrier'''s assets), the sets for each individual video (sans the fourth floor from 07.29.95) will not be released, as they are not meant to be "playable" in a conventional sense.

* ArtistDisillusionment: Greenio has condemned the target audience for the tapes (followers of the "iceberg" rumors), citing said following undergoing severe decay in the production of related videos [[ItsPopularNowItSucks after the rumors took off]], barring the LighterAndSofter series ''Breaking the Barrier'' by [=Marionova64=].
* CreatorBacklash:
** A few days after the series officially ended, Greenio [[https://twitter.com/Greenio64/status/1291105490190184450 judged all nine tapes using a tier list]]. 03.11.97 is considered as being so utterly low in quality compared to the other tapes that it has its own section, most likely due to it merely consisting of "trying to unlock Luigi but Mario dies instead" and nothing else.
** The same list also considers 11.05.96 and 11.15.95 to be boring at best, the former likely due to focusing on the Wario Apparition, a DiscreditedMeme outside of parody edits, and the latter due to its main twist being mostly plain exposition.

* {{Defictionalization}}: The maps used for 07.29.95 are available for download ([[spoiler:mentally-damaged AI]] guiding the player not included), and can be patched into level [=IDs=] 06 and 26 on the real game's ROM with the appropriate program.
* MagnumOpusDissonance: Greenio has admitted they don't consider the tapes nearly as much of one as the fans do, mostly due to the circumstances of its creation [[FollowTheLeader involving a bandwagon with the 7/29/1995 build rumors]].
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** 11.15.95 was meant to have a more smooth transition to TheReveal near the end, but was scrapped in favor of the HostileShowTakeover used in the current tape. Likewise, it originally consisted of rough storyboards along with the incomplete promo tape footage. [[CreatorBacklash Greenio quickly grew to hate the end result,]] and replaced this version with one consisting of script images.
** 12.20.95 was meant to be the sixth tape, but was pulled ahead to June 23rd, 2020 - [[MeaningfulReleaseDate the anniversary]] of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.
*** Similarly, [[https://twitter.com/Greenio64/status/1287685312353841153 as documented]] [[https://twitter.com/Greenio64/status/1287851661118132225 on]] [[https://twitter.com/Greenio64/status/1288559032802975747 their Twitter,]] 07.29.95 had [[TroubledProduction such a hard time in production]] that it missed its intended release date of [[MeaningfulReleaseDate July 29th, 2020]].
** "Beta Bob-omb Battlefield" went through two separate revisions before becoming the final version currently uploaded on [=YouTube=]. Both had completely different narratives for the mission depicted in the footage independent of previous events, with the second being a much shorter AttractMode reel, but still ended with the yellow switch being pressed, the game crashing, and [[spoiler:the FreezeFrameBonus of the Textureless Mario Anomaly]]. The final version instead opts for a subtle CallBack to the events of 09.02.97.
** "Promo show" almost had an ending similar to 11.15.95 and the retconned ending of 07.29.95 in which the AI would speak using a text-to-speech program (specifically SAM, aka "Mortis.") It was cut for the same reason 07.29.95's monologue was removed, being an info dump that runs contrary to the theme of mystery present in the tapes.
* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings:
** The comments section for 09.02.97 was disabled due to complaints about the ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' sound effects in the end dragging on for too long.
** Greenio has stated that due to the fandom's tendency to demand additional playability from them (with precedent from the mixed reception to the release of ''VideoGame/BreakingTheBarrier'''s assets), the sets for each individual video (sans the fourth floor from 07.29.95) will not be released, as they are not meant to be "playable" in a conventional sense.
