The Nancy Drew games used to creep me out a little when I was younger…but maybe they were supposed to be a little scary lol.
THIS!!!!!!The summer spiders and scorpions in ac wild world lmao. I was like 11 back then? Really creeped me out
If NSMB2 has 1,000,000 fans, I am one of them.This might require a lot of explanation considering I’m probably one of the only people in the world who likes this game, so it’s going to be kind of long.

In New Super Mario Bros 2, there’s an enemy called Boohemoth that appears in the Ghost Houses of World 2 and World Flower. In the World 2 one, you enter a room and then he appears out of nowhere. Imagine that you’re an 6/7 year old kid and you walk into a room in your Mario game and see this Boo appear out of nowhere, that’s so big that it takes up a third of the screen. I’m pretty sure it can hurt you, so it’s basically a glorified autoscroller that you can stop if you look at it and damages you, but this was still terrifying as a kid. I never beat the stage in my own because of that, so I just got a kid that I knew (I still know him today) that also liked Mario and was a year older than me to beat the stage.
In World Flower, it’s a little different. In World 2 it appears in the second room of the stage, which is very early on. In World Flower, the Ghost House has an interesting gimmick where you climb up the stage like a normal vertical level, until you get to the top where there’s a Super Star, and when you touch it, not only do you turn invincible, but all the floor turns into coins. If you stick to the right side of the screen as much as you can, you’ll land on a platform that you can follow to get to the third Star Coin and a secret exit that lets you play a different level to take you to the castle. If you don’t, I learned the hard way that you’ll end up on a new path that you couldn’t access before and it has the Boo on it. I tried to get that kid I was talking about earlier to help me beat the stage the through the normal path, but even he was too scared (despite… the fact that the Boo doesn’t look different at all in this stage compared to the other one). So until I got a new cartridge a few years later after I lost the old one, I never beat the stage the normal way, I never got the second Star Coin which requires taking that path, and I never got to play the other World Flower stages.
Thanks Nintendo
Lmao I still think about that ending from time to time, that was genuinely really unsettling for such a cutesy game lol.Despite the fact that most of Klonoa's bosses are cutesy, Baladium, Nahatomb and Cursed Leorina gave me the CREEPS. Especially Leorina, now that I know the context. now her boss fight is scary AND sad.
Thanks Namco, for emotionally scarring me with a cutesy platformer! (Putting Klonoa 1's ending in a game made for children is a CRIME)
