Mario games are known for their colorful aesthetic and bouncy, cartoony atmosphere. But imagine if this wasn't the case. What if Mario games were creepy and DeliberatelyMonochrome, with ambient music in the background? This is that kind of game. Eyeless is a bizarre, horror-themed ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' ROMHack centered around blindness. In it, Mario has lost his eyes for a reason that's never explained. Mario is then instructed to "Get [his] eyes back" by an unknown force. Thus, Mario decides to look for them in a bizarre, DeliberatelyMonochrome EldritchLocation filled with all sorts of strange enemies. Unlike the official Mario games, ''Eyeless'' is more centered around puzzles than platforming and has a much darker, almost eldritch tone.
!!Get your tropes back!:
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Mario never finds his eyes, even after all those puzzles and platforming sections]].
* BigBoosHaunt: The game's only level follows several similar design philosophies to the haunted house levels in mainline Mario games. Though it's much, much creepier.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Much creepier than any official Mario game.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The only thing in the game that isn't black and white is Mario. And by black and white, we don't mean grayscale. We mean black and white only.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Mario jumps into a pipe, only for a voice to explain that "Eyes cannot be retrieved". After that, Mario enters a door leading to complete nothingness]].
* EldritchLocation: The location Mario walks through is a bizarre, DeliberatelyMonochrome hellscape filled with creepy variants of common enemies. Though it's implied that Mario only sees it like this due to his blindness.
* EyelessFace: Mario lacks his eyes in this game. It's never explained how he lost them.
* EyeScream: Mario has lost his eyes somewhere before this game. Though it's never explained how.
* GameMod: It's a ROM hack of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. Though it's much creepier than it's parent.
* MinimalistCast: Mario is the only character in the game, outside of (possibly) the narrator and the various enemies you encounter.
* MooksButNoBosses: There are many enemies in the game, but the game simply ends with [[spoiler:Mario learning that his eyes cannot be retrieved, and then walking through a door into nothingness]].
* NoAntagonist: The game lacks any form of BigBad, with the {{Mooks}} you encounter being of unknown origin.
* NothingIsScarier: The game lacks any form of jumpscare, but makes up for that with the creepy atmosphere and ambient music. [[spoiler:The ending also has Mario enter a door, which leads you to a blank screen with some creepy ambient sound effects playing]].
* PuzzlePlatformer: The game mixes platformer physics with mind-bending puzzles.
* RecycledSoundtrack: The soundtrack is the Cave of the Past theme from ''VideoGame/Earthbound1994''.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:The game ends with Mario entering a door, only to be met with a blank screen. This is a reference to the infamous ending of the ''Fanfic/MARIOByMARIO'' ROMHack]].
* UnendingEndCard: A particularly [[NothingIsScarier scary]] example. [[spoiler:At the end, Mario enters a door which leads to a blank screen. It stays like that until you quit the game]].
