2* AntiClimaxBoss: The Iggy's Castle level seems to be building up something incredibly horrifying and scary... Only to reveal that the boss level is the generic fight with Iggy.
3* MoralEventHorizon: Whatever Mario did before the start of this hack, we'll probably never know -- and probably don't wanna know, for that matter.
4* NightmareFuel:
5** The Victim #1 message.
6--->''Victim #1. Eyeballs were unable to be found. The victim was found lying on her carpet. Causes of death unknown, handmarks with unidentifiable fingerprints were found all over the corpse.''
7** The NightmareFace itself, which can take up the background of your computer according to the pasta. It eventually became infamous as one of a number of mysterious Creepypasta images of no discernible origin, along with Literature/SmileDog and Literature/JeffTheKiller. Up until the source was finally discovered in 2023, there was even speculation that it was a still from an actual gore video.
8** This is one of the more uniquely disturbing pastas out there for two reasons. One, the Narrator has proof that it exists. Two, the ''MARIO'' hack was already released before anyone even thought of posting a pasta about it. Had the narrator not been intrigued to take a look, the hack could've had a very obscure existence, being played only by very few people out there.
9* NightmareRetardant: In 2023, the "Victim #1" image was finally discovered to be a [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/videogaming/images/0/0c/Victim_1_unedited_photo.png highly edited image]] of an Main/{{Emo}} doing a Music/DirEnGrey cosplay. For an image that once tormented the Internet and was even speculated to portray actual gore, it's much harder to take seriously anymore.
