The fact Peach starts staring at the screen after losing the boss fight just makes me think whatever force that’s controlling the game is giving a passive aggressive “how did you lose”

[dazza-nh]

The fact wario *Failed* to kill peach just makes me think:
What exactly is she?
She stated ‘It’s afraid of me, I sense it.’
She’s the only one so far to damage it.
She managed to hide from it.
So what is she?
Is she even a princess?
Is she even human?
Time will tell.

It’s interesting how there’s two or three (I think) mysterious entities and not just one. It’s crazy how Peach survived Wario’s attack. I really like Peach’s designs and that they’re based on Coronation Day.

[MysteriousBurns]

Don't know why, but seeing Wario jump back in response to Peach jumping twice kinda unnerved me.

[waalew]

Well, now we know the name of our protagonist: "Andrew".
Let's hope fate serves him well.

[kezkriune]

God, Andrew is HORRIBLE at dodging easy to dodge projectiles. Peach looks great with brown hair, btw

[Casio_Cain]

Wario: some kind of evil line of code or spirit in the game
Luigi: some form of consciousness or another spirit
Peach: my speculation is a literal firewall trying to prevent wario's chaos. A form of consciousness made to help Andrew and protect people who didn't know they weren't supposed to play the game.

Small details with Peach that were quite interesting. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

Edit: I'm going through these posts I made to correct myself. The Entity is not called The Entity, his name is actually Buggy.

-Her hair becomes a burned brown after Wario's fire attack, that she somehow survives unscathed.
-The gibberish text she starts speaking gradually begins to spell out the word Hello with each attempt.
-Both her arm gloves and crown become a darker colour or just outright black after she drops into the lower levels of the castle.
-Because she tries to contact the player directly this seems to attract the entity's attention, and it is most likely the one who responded to her question.
-Her question is also weird because it sort of suggests she doesn't know who she is...
-While she becomes some sort of powerful creature herself it's likely Wario keeps her contained in the castle. He knows he can't harm her but he CAN keep her in one place.
-"He cannot know that you know." What does that mean exactly?
-Her dialogue suggests she's been tortured and tormented by The Entity for some time.

Peach appears to be herself, but after The entity torments her it seems to change her physically and mentally, potentially turning her into something like The Entity itself, or better yet, it has her realise these powers. While she's still reliant on the player's help she regards him as a servant, also knowing their name. It's Andrew, the person who has Luigi as their avatar. I'm expecting her to have a much bigger role in things to come.

Peach's transformation with Giygas soundtrack is just the right amount of creepy. And with Coronation Day on top, oooh boy, we're in for some interesting action.

[captleek]

During peaches little monologue when wario rushed at her, it appeared like she was able to control the save and load function

[WaderMelom]

5:48 The way greenlight made the long slender arms move is just terrifying.

[romanortiz]

this isn't just a creepypasta
its a really well made mario game

[ChiknNuggitJr]

Don't know why, but seeing Wario laugh a Peach is HILARIOUS

[gameboytree]

At about 2:00 i was impressed that it wasn’t just a screamer and an actual boss fight you’d see in one of the older mario games

[LennyWhatever]

I like how Wario seems to be the antagonist in this series rather than someone you’d expect like Bowser

[SmokeTheHorsehog]

Imagine an actually fun boss fight in a horror fan game like this
AND imagine what could have happened if Peach didn't lose to Buggy the first time around

[peacefulpanda]

i love how peachs sprite turns into the mario 2 peach colours when the castle gets set on fire

[SwaggyG_]

I like how the "Boss Fight" with Wario is a mixture of both Knuckles fight with Sonic.exe and the Omega Flowey boss fight.

[ChillyAndCS]

I like the idea of using RatherNoiceArt's Wario sprites which perfectly fits for the series like this.
The series has a great potentional, ngl. Hopefully it gets popular one day.
