History NightmareFuel / MegaMan8BitDeathmatch

* The Evil Robot is made of this.
** While the camera is panning around the Evil Robot during the cutscene after the second Wily map, [[JumpScare it suddenly cuts to a close up of his sprite complete with a loud sound effect]]. Doesn't help that there was no music playing until then.
** When he's being used as a skin and bot, he gains an ominous arua around his sprite whenever he moves around, but the worst part is his lines when being used as a bot, saying things like "Another planet ripe for the glory of evil." and "You will let me in. In the end, they always do.". ''Brrrrr.''
* The postgame cutscene in Version 5D:

** You then collapse, and when you wake up, you become surrounded by strings of code and skull shapes, while the room begins to distort. All the while, the voice speaks to you in disembodied purple lines of text, mocking you and tempting you to turn against humans. Eventually, the screen turns purple and a silhouette of the Evil Robot appears before you. ''You've been infected with Roboenza.''
** The silhouette and distortion then disappears, but something pries the doors of the elevator open. It's four rows of robots all with the appearance of the default skin, some with no eyes, some with cracks on their bodies, ''and some with body parts missing.'' You then lower your buster and look at your hands, trembling as ''your skin melts off of them.''
** After this, you wake back up with your screen tinted purple... [[AndIMustScream and you can't move]]. But your body certainly can, and it speaks in unison with the voice that Roboenza has put in your head. You walk up behind Roll, watching as Dr. Light repairs her brother, and shoot her in the back. Galaxy Man and Plug Man jump to her aid, but you knock them aside in short order and notice Dr. Light is just on the other side of the glass, alone and helpless. Roll struggles to her feet and stands between you and her father, but you smack her back to the floor as you line up your buster. It's only the intervention of Duo arriving to purge you of the Roboenza that stops the virus from [[ForcedToWatch making you watch as you destroy everyone you've fought to protect.]]

%%** Really, just how omnicidal the Stardroids are, ''especially'' Terra; this is a group of robots not programmed by Wily who want to destroy Earth and everything on it by awakening Sunstar, and they harvest the energy of the Evil Robot to do that. Keep in mind that it's known for the creation of Roboenza, mirroring a level of insanity that not even Sigma displayed in the X series until the later games.

!! Core Game

** First of all, you're playing a normal deathmatch game inside Wily Tower against all of the Robot Masters from ''VideoGame/MegaMan8''. Seems normal, but then the game appears to freeze and then... the ceiling ''suddenly'' explodes without warning and the Evil Robot comes descending down. It's pretty jarring when the other bosses in the game showed the results screen for the previous botmatch before fighting them.
** And then while the camera is panning around the Evil Robot during the cutscene, [[JumpScare it suddenly cuts to a close up of his sprite complete with a loud sound effect]]. Doesn't help that there was no music playing until then.

** The screen then fades to white, before fading back in with a purple tint. You repeat the voice's claim that destruction was all you were made for, and walk into the basement (which now has a dark sky where the walls used to be) without any input. Without any hesitation, you attack Roll, Galaxy Man, and Plug Man, with Galaxy Man and Plug Man dropping debris as they collapse, meaning you've probably hurt them badly. You then walk over to the room where Dr. Light is working on Mega Man and Proto Man, smacking Roll to the side when she gets up to try and stop you. [[BigDamnHeroes Had Duo not showed up to stop you in your tracks,]] ''you likely would have killed Dr. Light.''
* The realization you reach when you fight Quint, who in this game isn't an alternate Mega Man - rather, ''he is the same Mega Man that you interact with.'' Thanks to your existence as Maestro, Mega Man has virtually been cast aside, reduced to a side character in his own series, fated to die fighting you as Quint. ''[[PlayerPunch You have completely demolished his life into a tragic shell of what it was meant to be just by existing.]]''

* The finale of version 6:
** So you just defeated the Wily Robo Iron Golem, the final boss of the [=MM10=] chapter. Duo and King are about to negotiate things with Wily for all the damage he's caused. And then [[MoodWhiplash Terra appears]]. Duo attempts to fight him, but Terra doesn't flinch. [[HeroKiller Duo doesn't survive Terra's onslaught]].
** Really, just how omnicidal the Stardroids are, ''especially'' Terra; this is a group of robots not programmed by Wily who want to destroy Earth and everything on it by awakening Sunstar, and they harvest the energy of the Evil Robot to do that. Keep in mind that it's known for the creation of Roboenza, mirroring a level of insanity that not even Sigma displayed in the X series until the later games.
** Just after beating the three Killer stages on the Wily Star, a short cutscene plays showing the Stardroids contemplating what to do with the player. They all agree that they need Sunstar to be resurrected... no matter the cost. [[FromBadToWorse Mars then blows up a canister of Roboenza, allowing them to be infected]].
** Later on, you have your fight with Sunstar. After he is defeated, he has his HeelFaceTurn moment like in the original, but then, [[NotQuiteDead the head of the Evil Energy Robot]] appears and [[DemonicPossession latches onto Sunstar's face]], [[BodyHorror corrupting his body into a warped fusion of his body and the Evil Robot's original body]]! The "third" phase begins, but [[HopelessBossFight nothing's harming him]]. [[EscapeSequence Your only option is to run]] as he begins to have meltdown and infect the entire Wily Star!
** The escape itself is fairly unnerving as well, with ceilings beginning to slowly cave in as numerous damaging tendrils sprout from the floor. Part of the escape leads back through the [=MMVDW1=] deathmatch map, as the chaotic destruction continues to erupt around you.
** Terra's last moments. Revealing to still be (barely) alive, Terra mocks your attempts to flee as the Evil Energy takes full control of both Sunstar and the Wily Star, laughing as he sees your despair just before being crushed by debris.
--->'''Terra:''' ...Ha... There's no running from it. The Sun God's true powers... has been unleashed... It will come for your world... All worlds... ...And as one final reward... I get to see your despair... ''Knowing that there's nothing you can do to stop it!'' ''[[LaughingMad AHAHAHAHA!]]''
* The end result of this terrifying union, as Sunstar's runaway cataclysmic power corrupted by the Evil Energy Robot seeps into the Wily Star, enabling him to merge with ''it''. It descends from the sky, the entire world darkening over with an unnatural black-and-red coloration with its mere presence, the entity surrounded by an eerie, lightless aura. The Wily Star shows itself to be overtaken by a pulsing, ''breathing'' organic-looking, ''tumorous'' purple mass. The mass then grows limbs, with the half-melting face of the Evil Energy Robot emerging from the top. This-- is the EldritchAbomination called '''Eclipse'''.
** The name of its boss theme does nothing to help matters: "Thy World Consumed". It's practically a declaration that it's ''already won.''
* Just the implication[[note]]How Ra Moon is one of the very few characters who ''isn't'' introduced as MyNameIsQuestionMarks meaning Maestro already knows him, how the trophy for beating Ra Devil is labeled "Origins", how King notes that Maestro was somehow inexplicably compatible with Duo's energy, how Maestro somehow knew how to unseal the gate to the ruins, how Ra Moon claims that its "doomsday test" was a ''success'' after you ''beat'' it...[[/note]] that [[VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman Ra Moon]] had a hand in Maestro's creation is terrifying.
!! Game Mods
* The boss mod ''Unholy Bosses'' has a number of creepy moments.
** First, we have the Hellbots, a series of Napalm Men with BlackEyesOfEvil and the Darkman 4 shoulder-pads (as well as the Darkman 1 busters) that have large amounts of health and can unleash multiple attacks with just one press of the fire button. While Shin Hellbot isn't so frightening aside from the aforementioned lack of eyes and the rage message being "There is no escape...", his big brother Hellbot is far more sinister. His color scheme is RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver, his appearance darkens the entire level, and he has a starting health value of [[NumberOfTheBeast 6,666]]. In addition, his theme is the second phase of the [[VideoGame/EarthBound Giygas]] fight.
*** If you get killed by Hellbot, you receive a JumpScare featuring the face from [[FanFic/MARIOByMARIO MARIO]], along with a loud unsettling scream. If you get the [[SelfDestructMechanism Give Up Hope Unit]], you can use it to automatically trigger the jumpscare yourself, dealing great damage to any unfortunate soul that happens to be next to you and causing them to be jumpscared as well.
** If you defeat Hellbot before the timer by his health counter ends, you get to fight the third and final Hellbot, [[BonusBoss Zankokuna Hellbot]]. Like Shin Hellbot, he's not too frightening, but apart from having a whopping '''30,000''' HP, his rage is to darken the map while replacing the current music theme with an ominous theme (pulled from the music from the Cave of the Past in [[VideoGame/EarthBound EarthBound]], "The Place"). If Zankokuna isn't attacked within a few seconds, ''every player character except him is promptly killed off with a loud explosion sound''. This can also happen if 6 minutes have passed when fighting other bosses, and there's no way to avoid it.
-->'''AND THEN... [[KillEmAll THERE WERE NONE]].'''
** The Super Give Up Hope Unit [[WhyAmITicking causes your character to be surrounded by red skulls]] as the Drowning music from the ''Videogame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series plays, muting the music of the stage when you activate it. Once that timer runs dry, your character ''erupts'' into an enormous explosion while the screens of the user and anyone unlucky enough to get blasted by it get plastered by the "[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Fun is Infinite]]" screen while the scream from the above-mentioned MARIO jumpscare plays. Like Zankokuna Hellbot's rage, if 6 minutes have passed when fighting bosses, this is forced upon every player.
** Sampi, the FinalBoss. Like Zankokuna, he has 30,000 HP and a very wide array of ways he can pull a CurbStompBattle on every survivor, including a dash attack activated via alt-fire that is implied via it's kill message to be strong enough to ''shatter or remove someone's skull''. And if you somehow manage to damage him enough, he'll use one of two rages (the use of them depend on what fire button is pressed): A sequence of explosive thunder strikes or a meteor shower with just as destructive blood-red meteors, including a giant meteor. Die to either of those rages? '''Enjoy the jumpscare'''.
** Final Faggasso, the strongest of the Faggasso bosses. He takes the appearance of Faggasso DX, but '''blood red'''. Coming with him is high HP and strong attacks, all of which jumpscare any unfortunate victim. Most notable is his rage, ''ASP Doomsday'', which drops a giant [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black meteor]] down upon the map, instantly killing anyone within radius. Think about the attack's name for a second.
** The Wish Star item. While it normally kills all the other players for an instant win or resets the match thanks to a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Celebi]], there is a rare chance you can accidentally summon [[VideoGame/SonicExe Sonic.exe]], who cues in creepy and unsettling music before he starts flying into you while the screen turns red. You can shoot him, turn the camera, and taunt all you want- he's ''not'' going to stop. And if you thought you were safe from him if you don't get the Wish Star, Sonic.exe is also one of the three results for the clock running out. Oh. and there's one Sonic.exe for ''every player''.
---> '''[=YoU=] shOuLDN't haVe [=ComE=] heRE...'''
** The kill message of Skullman's rage. It implies that the victim was never seen again, which means that Skullman ''erased them from existence''.
** The lose screen, pictured above, is Hellbot staring right into your soul with the text "'''HELL AWAITS...'''" plastered on a blood red wireframe while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy5SZ3zcskc this]] song plays. The [[http://imgur.com/YkDURut original version]] of the screen is possibly even ''more'' terrifying, with Hellbot (or at least an early version of him) standing alone in a foreboding hellish atmosphere.
* In ''Classes-Based Modification'', when someone is killed by Dust Man or Junk Man, they leave behind junk that can be used to fill the ammo bar of the aforementioned classes. Essentially, Dust Man and Junk Man ''use the dismembered corpses of their enemies as ammo.'' Think about that for a moment. What's worse, certain classes (Pirate Man, Fake Man, and Mercury) are able to steal (or in Fake Man's case, "confiscate") most items, ''including the aforementioned junk.''

** Really, just how omnicidal the Stardroids are, ''especially'' Terra; this is a group of robots not programmed by Wily who want to destroy Earth and everything on it by awakening Sunstar, and they harvest the energy of the Evil Robot to do that; which is known for the creation of Roboenza, mirroring a level of insanity that not even Sigma displayed until later on.

** Really, just how omnicidal the Stardroids are, ''especially'' Terra; for the first time, there is a group of robots in MM8BDM not programmed by Wily who want to destroy Earth and everything on it by awakening Sunstar. And what do they do? They harvest the energy of the Evil Robot, which was known for being the creation of Roboenza, mirroring a level of insanity not seen since Sigma from the X series.

* Really, just how omnicidal the Stardroids are, ''especially'' Terra; for the first time, there is a group of robots not programmed by Wily who want to destroy Earth and everything on it. And what do they do? They harvest the energy of the Evil Robot, which was known for being the creation of Roboenza, and are willing to infect ''themselves'' just to destroy Maestro and Dr. Wily, mirroring a level of insanity not seen since Sigma from the X series.

* When you begin the first stage of a new chapter, you're treated to the featured game's "Stage Start" theme along with a visual based on the chapter. This is not the case with Chapter 13- instead, you're treated to [[NothingIsScarier dead silence]] instead of ''Mega Man V''[='s=] stage start music.

--->'''Terra:''' ...Ha... There's no running from it. The Sun God's true powers... has been unleashed... It will come for your world... All worlds... ...And as one final reward... I get to see your despair... ''Knowing that there's nothing you can do to stop it!'' ''AHAHAHAHA!''

* Eclipse, just... Eclipse. An EldritchAbomination formed from the Wily Star being infected with Evil Energy.
* Just the implication[[note]]How Ra Moon is one of the very few characters who ''isn't'' introduced as MyNameIsQuestionMarks, how the trophy for beating Ra Devil is labeled "Origins", how Ra Moon claims that its "doomsday test" was a ''success'' after you beat it...[[/note]] that [[VideoGame/SuperAdventureRockman Ra Moon]] had a hand in Maestro's creation is terrifying.
