Luigi has made a name for himself as a ghostbuster, but why does Mario have to miss out on the fun? Never fear, because there's now a new "Super Mario 64 inspired horror experience" made by developer 'CM9_Animation'. In this game, players embark on Mario's scariest adventure yet!
In Another Princess Is In Our Castle, you are "impersonating Mario" - the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. You apparently decided to return to Peach's castle a few years after her death only to discover something isn't right...she's now a ghost! You'll now have to collect the Super Mario 64 statues in order to unravel the mystery.
As you can see in the alpha demo above, the game takes place within the castle and grounds of Super Mario 64. To avoid the ghost of Peach, you'll have to hide in chests or run away using the stamina wheel. Just be careful not to get cornered while collecting the eight statues in this early build of the game.
What do you think of this unique first-person horror version of Super Mario 64? Leave a comment below.

That first jump scare actually got me pretty good.
"Stop it! Don't open that door!"

Aww, I hoped this was a romhack. I love playing stuff like this on official hardware, Star Fox Survival is my current N64 obsession.
it's like the Ghost of Princess Peach is staring right at my soul. (and probably wants to eat me.) XD
pretty cool fan game though.
@tamantayoshi Hahah, same here. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be scary considering the source material and the character models used, but I thought wrong.
Not going to lie though: Even in the regular game, I found Peach's castle to have a creepy vibe to it at times due to its emptiness.
Pretty clever idea. I think Mario 64's kind of always had this unsettling undercurrent anyway, the vast emptiness of the castle has a way of making you expect something to suddenly pop out from around the corner.
The fact that actually DOES happen a couple of times with MIPS probably helps with that feeling.
Reminds me of The Count Lucanor but in 3D, looks great
@calbeau @Lizuka Yeah, exactly. The fact that the castle is normally so empty and lonely puts you on edge and makes the couple of times you find something new there unsettling. When I was a kid and that Boo appeared in the back hall for the first time, I literally turned off the N64 and ran and hid under my bed.
Hopefully Nintendo will issue them a deceased & desist letter.
And here I thought Mario is Missing was scary...
Peach's ghost model reminds me of the ghosts from Sonic Adventure.
@sikthvash This pun is under-appreciated
I love whoever made this
(how did peach die???)
I will never understand how people find SM64 scary.
