The game does actually do something supernatural by addressing the player by name at the end


* {{Wangst}}: Bradley likes to whine about how miserable he is after playing a ''scary Mario ROM hack''. It's made more egregious by the fact that 1.) the narration was totally casual, immediately going up 10 notches verbose-wise once World 1 is completed, and 2.) there is nothing to indicate that the game is haunted or supernatural in any way, not even a MaybeMagicMaybeMundane moment. A few examples:
