There are also entries in the main Video Game section detailing the horrors in other Nintendo games... which probably says a lot.

18%% In order for NightmareFuel tabs to survive, a new writing style is going to be used, nicknamed '''Example Lobotomy'''. Basic rules: just list facts as they are, don't just say "character X" or "the X scene" (such Zero Context Examples will be zapped), all spoilers are to be unmarked as Spoilers Off apples to all Moments pages, italics to be applied to works' names only and not to give emphasis on what tropers say. "X scared me" is already implied by the mere addition of that example by the troper.%%

23* The GameOver tune succeeds way too well at creating a chilling atmosphere with its ScareChord, all the more reason why players should not screw up.
24* In the second game, your character's trophy falls onto the floor in a darkened, grid-patterned with the announcer asking if you will continue. If you say "No", the screen quickly fades to black with the announcer saying "Game Over" alongside the aforementioned ScareChord and the accompanying text flashing up in demented font. It's even worse when [[OutOfContinues you don't have any coins left]]; since instead of having [[https://youtu.be/afmwH_gEwys the hopeful-but-sad music]] to build you up toward your choice, the trophy clatters to the floor with a lifeless silence, before [[JumpScare immediately jumping to the aforementioned loud noise and imagery]] out of nowhere. This continues in the third game's Adventure mode.
25* Master Hand can be rather creepy if not downright surreal; mainly that he's a [[GiantHandsOfDoom Giant Hand of Doom]] fighting you. Coupled with his haunting EvilLaugh and how much of a tough opponent he can be to beat on higher difficulties, he can prove to be rather imposing for some players.
26* Some star KO screams are disconcerting for how realistic they sound. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvT480vKedw?t=59s Zelda's star KO scream]] in ''Melee'', Pit's star KO from ''Smash 4'' (as well as Dark Pit) and [[https://twitter.com/The_Lucbomber/status/1093660732753735680 Roy's star KO scream]] in ''Ultimate'', as well as others like Fox's from ''Ultimate'' compared to other characters and even the same characters in other games. They sound genuinely terrified, in pain, or both, and it comes off as plain unnerving. Captain Falcon's sounds like he got [[GroinAttack a nasty kick in the nuts]]. In particular, Roy's English star KO scream is so blood-curling and realistic from his voice actor, Creator/RayChase, that it sounds like he's dying. [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct Kudos to him]].
27* In Stamina matches, when a character is defeated due to running out of HP, not only do they make their star KO scream, but they then collapse and remain motionless for the rest of the match if there are at least two more players remaining, [[BeatingADeadPlayer able to be knocked around]]. Given that the series is traditionally about knocking opponents off the stage, it can be pretty creepy having what's basically a ''dead body'' slumped over on the stage while the remaining combatants duke it out. Thankfully, ''Ultimate'' averts this.
