History NightmareFuel / PaperMario

** Speaking of enemies turning to ash, this happens ''any time you score the finishing blow with a fire-themed sticker.''

* Immediately following the already Wham-y Chapter 6, in the aftermath [[spoiler: Dimentio appears and actually ''murders the playable cast.'' Of course, they turn out to be okay but it's plain chilling.]]

* World 5-3, [[spoiler: [[HauntedHouse The Engimansion.]] While it later gets quirky and relaxed, when you first enter the house, it's COMPLETELY SILENT. [[NothingIsScarier Nothing is heard, absolutely nothing...]] [[HellIsThatNoise Well, all except for that creepy sound that sounds like screaming.]] ]]

* The Shadow Queen is nothing less than pure evil. In the prologue destroys an entire city. If it weren't for the four heroes, she would have probably gone on to conquer the entire Mushroom Kingdom. [[spoiler:You later have to go through her palace, which gets more and more disturbing the longer you go through it. And then Grodus releases her unaware of just how horrible she is...]]

* [[spoiler: [[HauntedHouse The Engimansion.]] While it later gets quirky and relaxed, when you first enter the house, it's COMPLETELY SILENT. [[NothingIsScarier Nothing is heard, absolutely nothing...]] [[HellIsThatNoise Well, all except for that creepy sound that sounds like screaming.]] ]]

*** [[spoiler: That darned painting scared this troper half to death. Why, Nintendo, why?!]]

* After you defeat Kamek for the final time, he begins [[MadnessMantra shouting that Bowser will destroy you]], before being cut-off in mid-sentence ''by turning to ash.''

The ''Paper Mario'' series is filled with many quirky characters and vibrant locations. That doesn't stop it from having [[NightmareFuel it's moments.]]

* [[spoiler: Chapter 3: In the Glitz Pit, you quickly get sucked into a mystery about the strange things that happen in the ring, and keep receiving mysterious emails from someone simply called "X". At one point, a Koopa who befriends you called King K tells you he's retiring and you see nothing more of him. Also, a character called Bandy Andy who tells you about the urban legends of the ring also stops appearing. You don't pay it much thought at first, until you're instructed to go into the storage room and find a secret staircase. When you enter the locked room at the top of the stairs and destroy the box in there, ''you find King K and Bandy Andy, lying unnmoving on the floor with a fly buzzing around them.'' King K manages to weakly acknowledge Mario, and Bandy Andy tells him not to go to the ring at night. Then, they just stop responding to you. They get better after you defeat the boss, but it's seriously creepy. You can only imagine what would have happened if you never found them...]]

* Mimi chasing you in Chapter 2. It doesn't ''sound'' scary, but when that text box pops up with "Mimimimimimi..." and she just appears out of ''nowhere'', it's FREAKY.
