Another Princess is in our Castle

Judging from the demo things look totally fine but once you play it you see where the issues are.

The N64 graphics match the old school feeling and the night texture makes me wish that there was a mod for Mario 64 where EVERY level took place at night.

The presentation with Peach being the one after Mario is interesting even though she is a idiot.

The ambience sounds nice even though it doesn't fit with the N64 sound effects.

The gameplay however is flawed. Not that finding objects around the castle is necessarily bad but the mechanics do hamper it.

Hiding in chests obscures your vision because of the lock and there is no way to move a little inside of a chest to see around the lock. (Mario must be really fat if that is the case)

Peach is kind of hard to predict as sometimes you can't tell where she is going. Namely because she silently moves through the castle and does not even make a single noise when she goes through doors.

Mario himself is also way too slow! I mean Jesus if he moved this slow in the actual games Bowser would have probably married Peach by the time he left the 2nd world. True you can run but that stamina blows through pretty quickly. Not to mention you can't fall off ledges. You have to waste time finding stairs. Why? Super Mario 64 let you fall off ledges! In this game it feels like a invisible wall was put just to stop you from falling off ledges. Maybe that's why Mario can't jump?

Overall this game is good for the first playthrough but nothing more after that.

So I did not played the game and all because Im kinda too scared for play horror game lol So im watching video of the horror game and stuff instead

My thought of the "Update" ((I don't know if it's an april fools or not) of the game- Great even if it's short for one single reason to me that I could be totally wrong about it- Is that this update is part of the lore than happens before the main game and here why I think that

First of, instead of playing Mario we play someone else. I know that because first, we don't start outside like the main game, and 2nd because at the end the "princess" kill us

Who I think it is it's that we probably play for sure a Toad.

So if I should make like a description that would be only all about that mini game that's what I would write :

---------------------------------------------------------------

It would be a nice day as usual in the Mushroom Kingdom. You play as a Toad and one day, when it was slowy getting dark, you would want to go outside to go back home but for some reason, you see Peach standing outside in front of the door. Suddenly, as you were approching to her the door suddenly close and you hear a evil female laugh. When you turn around you see again Peach but somehow she was a Ghost even if you saw her just a second ago. You decide to follow Peach but then you found out Multiple note that "Peach" leads you to.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE ?"

"I DID WHAT I HAVE TO"

"STAY SAFE, HIDE"

"NOT WHAT I WANTED"

"IT IS BETTER TO KEEP SOME THINGS UNTOLD"

Then, in the last room as you get to the final note, the painting of Peach because more bloody in background with the princess turning white with Red eyes and you found one last note that was written :

"HELP HER"

---------------------------------------------------------------

As Toad read all of the note and considering what he saw as no one is inside the castle, he decide to get to Mario, the "Hero" of the Mushroom Kingdom to find a way to help "Peach" but before he even get out of the room, a more sinister, whited ghost looking like Peach appear from the floor and attack Toad, which would probably lead to killing him.

The begginings and the end are of course my own Theory about the thing since we don't know the full lore yet. About the one that has written the note, we can know it isn't Toad that had written this since Toad grab the note that "Peach" lead him to. With a previous Theory that I think I saw on a video and that apparently was pretty close to the true lore confirmed by the creator, the note could have been written by Mario. Which would explain some stuff about the trailer with the unknown person that talk to Mario in the Trailer. However the thing that confuse me more is that the note are not really fully written as there are some missing words and the most confusing thing to me is the "STAY SAFE, HIDE" and "HELP HER". Who would Mario talk to in the "STAY SAFE, HIDE" and "HELP HER" ? Currently I don't have any idea except if we get more lore but it could also be someone else than Mario. Also understand that to me this mini game of before the main game actually happen at the very begginings of when it all started, or at least, a little after when it all started.

I don't have any other idea of what to say about that mini game and all but hey.

It's just a Theory. a GAME Theory ((Sorry I had to do it lol))

Never thought I'd properly scream at a super mario horror game, but I (shamefully) did! 9/10 for creativity! (gonna be a 10 outa 10 when it gets finished lol)

Found a secret. Already subscribed tho

can't wait for the basement chapter, BTW this game is really fun and a nice time-killer. i did actually get a couple scares especially while playing the mini mushroom difficulty (which took me way too long to beat but i got it eventually). but all things aside this game is awesome. keep up the great work man. :)
