History YMMV / MariosMysteryMeat

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Despite only playing a minor role in the game in the grand scheme of things, the game's AnthropomorphicPersonification of WebSite/{{Twitch}} Chat became hugely popular, especially among Vinny's viewerbase (towards whom the hack was geared). In fact, the game's version of Chat caught on so well that the animation for them dancing was appropriated by Vinny as a BTTV Emote (with Eminus' blessing), and fanartists within the Vinesauce community have generally treated this take as definitive since the hack's release (after years of Chat's depictions DependingOnTheArtist).
* MoralEventHorizon: Meat crosses this when [[spoiler: it kills Princess Bleach when she was waiting for Sponge to rescue her and instead of eating her right away, Meat waited for Sponge to see Bleach's corpse before it swallows her whole]]. Yeow.

** The DisneyAcidSequence {{Vaporwave}} area before [[spoiler:vineRizon's Fortress]] has a range of difficulty issues, ranging from the awkward terrain (there are some sloped areas that could lead you to your death) to the strange enemies there-- many of them being invulnerable to a simple jump. In fact, if you happen to jump on the clowns there, they'll multiply! Thankfully, Yoshi and your Tear attacks can kill them. The Bullet Bills will blindside you from being fired out from blasters that blend in with the terrain (and they explode in flames too), and a lot of enemies pop out of absolutely nowhere. There are also flying [[Film/CreatingRemLezar Rem Lezars]] that are impossible to kill unless you brought Yoshi to eat them-- they can only be momentarily stunned when hit.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: No, really, the amount of crazy stuff in this hack would make ''anybody'' assume this to be the case.

* DemonicSpiders: The upside-down final level is full of them. Besides the fact you're upside-down, almost all of the enemies are rather large, are immune to jumping, and hide within the level. The Ball and Chains only go a certain direction (which are most likely to screw you over because of how they're positioned), and some slime girls blend in with the bushes and drip down on you at the worst of times.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The music choices for this game are generally quite good, including tunes from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', ''VideoGame/EarthBound'', ''VideoGame/UNSquadron'' and even some custom music! You can listen to the whole soundtrack [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upX2lG69Er4 here]].

** The [[VideoGame/EarthBound Earthbound style battle against]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} Mr. Dink]] due to the UnexpectedGameplayChange and the absurdity of it.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: In response to complaints from Vinny and other players that the hack's difficulty spiked up too heavily in the latter portions of the game, Eminus released an "easy mode" version with more reasonable difficulty balancing and the ability to toggle an unlimited Starman for Sponge on and off by pressing R.

** Daksu's Closet is a section of Meat that's almost entirely red, and it has the basement theme from ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' playing in the background. Making matters even worse is the section where you're chased by multiple Inyummes. Vinny himself felt Giygas vibes.

* PopCultureIsolation: Needless to say, the game is only really intended for play by people who are already fans of WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} and have a comprehensive knowledge of numerous in-jokes both old and new surrounding Vinny and the general community. Greener fans and non-fans, meanwhile, are more likely to be left confused at the otherwise incoherent mish-mash of ideas, characters, and concepts. To give an idea of how far back some of the in-game jokes go, the first level is a reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDubBmgZSoY a corruption stream from 2018]] that ''Vinny himself'' had forgotten about, one line in the "Mario and Luigi's Thoughts on CBT" section offhandedly references a gag that goes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YCfk1FZ7I8 as far back as]] 2012, and the opening gag of the game references [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akGp-Qqo-cI one of the earliest videos]] on Vinny's [=YouTube=] channel from ''2010''. Even the game's main protagonist and antagonist, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsO2QjbrUCA Sponge]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO8HpsURrsM Meat]], respectively, have a fair bit of history to them. This [[https://youtu.be/EILVzf_TKo4?list=PLlc94szfcNDEj-f9oVYy6dAU0iYOF1aZi&t=1229 gets lampshaded]] by Vinny almost a year after his own playthrough of the game, where he talks about a German TV show that supposedly played it in utter confusion the whole time.

* UnexpectedCharacter: The photoshopped "[[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/woll-smoth Woll Smoth]]" meme version of Will Smith appears in the background tiling when Smith takes over, which is unexpected since Vinesauce isn't exactly known for that meme.

* SignatureScene: The giant Meat rising from the ground at the end of the first level, to the point where it's a prominent part of the thumbnail for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzkGyf3ZRwE the official YouTube reupload]] of [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinny's]] stream of the hack.
