| “ | Hmm. You looking for someone? It seems you don't recognize me. Heh heh, It's-a-me, MARIO... almost. | „ |
| ~ Horror Mario meeting Boyfriend and Girlfriend. |
| “ | Well done. Very well done. I must say, I am impressed. You’re a long way from home, aren’t you? Tell me, why do you persist? No matter, all good things must come to an end. You broke our little deal, and I can’t let that slide. [chuckle] And, you fell right into my hands. Thinking your path was clear, the goalpost in sight, but no. Tell me, do you know what all of the creatures down there have in common? They're all in my game! They all. Belong. To me. YOU CANNOT UNDO WHAT HAS BEEN STARTED. YOUR FATE WAS SET IN MOTION THE MOMENT YOU LAID EYES ON THAT LITTLE CARTRIDGE. THE BOTH OF YOU ARE MY PLAYTHINGS NOW, AND WE’RE GONNA HAVE SO MUCH FUN! Come and face me, little rat. Your time has come. | „ |
| ~ Horror Mario’s speech to Boyfriend before All Stars. |
| “ | COME NOW, TAKE THE STEP, DON’T LOOK BACK, THERE’S NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU BEYOND THE VEIL. YOU’VE TRIED, AND YET, YOU FAILED TO SAVE HER. CLAWS UPON YOUR HEART RIP AND TEAR YOUR SOUL APART. YOU’VE LOST THE GAME, IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE A GOD! | „ |
| ~ Ultra M taunting Boyfriend by puppeteering Girlfriend’s corpse during Act 3 of All Stars. |
Super Horror Mario,[1][2] also known as M,[3] is the main antagonist of the Friday Night Funkin' mod, Mario's Madness.
He was a former business partner of Daddy Dearest who had worked with him to monopolize the gaming industry. After the latter made enough money, he trapped him in a cursed cartridge of Super Mario Bros. Imprisoned in the game for years, he eventually finds out about Dearest’s daughter and son-in-law, Girlfriend and Boyfriend, and seeks to imprison and kill them as means of getting revenge against the man who screwed him over.
He was voiced by RedTV53 as his regular form. As Ultra M, he was voiced by Scrumbo.
Appearance[]
Horror Mario appears largely very similar to his original counterpart, with blue overalls with yellow buttons, brown leather shoes, white gloves, a long brown moustache, and a red cap with the letter "M" on it. He is, however, much larger than his counterpart, towering above Boyfriend and Girlfriend, and his eye sockets bore no eyes spare for two small red glowing dots. Blood spills from his sockets and down into his mouth, which, like his eyes, are black and soulless, apart from two long rows of sharp teeth. He holds a bloody butcher's knife, with his white gloves also stained red.
Personality[]
Horror Mario strays from what you'd come to expect from original; rather than being heroic and humble, he is twisted and sadistic, and relishes in his murders by prolonging them, outright saying to Boyfriend and Girlfriend that he wants to have "fun" with them before killing them. This, combined with his immense power that is capable of tapping out GF's own, makes him arrogant and cocky as well. He's also very vindictive and spiteful, as his main motif for wanting Girlfriend, and Boyfriend to an extent, dead is out of revenge against her father for locking him away, despite the fact that neither of them have anything to do with their quarrel. Further adding to that, he later drags Pico in the game as well when he investigates the scene, who also had no involvement in his motifs.
Throughout the mod, it's evident that Horror Mario has a short temper, as he screams in frustration at the end of Starman Slaughter due to his inability to beat Boyfriend in their deal due to his injuries. It only grows worse when the latter and Girlfriend escape through the warp star instead of facing him in their third and final song, promising they'll "see [him] next time". Sure enough, M bites back hard by the time of All Stars by killing Girlfriend and controlling her corpse as means of breaking Boyfriend's spirit and succeeding in that matter.
M is also quite intelligent and strategic, knowing how to beat his enemies by hitting them where it hurts most. In this case, it's by killing Girlfriend, knowing full well how much she means to Daddy Dearest and Boyfriend alike. He's also able to keep the rapper at bay while he does the deed himself by sending Omega and his creations to keep him busy.
That being said, M does seem to have some amount of humanity within him. During Starman Slaughter, he's snapping his fingers to the beat of the music in a jovial manner and one of his death quotes in All Stars consists of him breaking the 4th wall to tell the player to take a break, showcasing some amount of silliness and humor. When first meeting Boyfriend, he's at first cordial and respective towards him, having heard stories about how he's faced opponents similar to that of himself and was willing to bargain for his and Girlfriend's survival. It's only when he backs down from their deal and runs that he wants him dead along with Girlfriend, implying that he actually would have upheld his end of said deal if they were to win against him. On that note, instead of being happy or prideful of his successful murder of Boyfriend and Girlfriend, it's anything but. After finally killing the two, he was left with no satisfaction. The lyrics of "A Mad World Without You" shows that their deaths have left him hollowed and empty inside, to the extent that M even ponders if this is what he truly wanted since the outcome was pyrrhic, resulting in him being all alone once again, as if to say Boyfriend and Girlfriend were the only ones to truly give him a purpose for the first time in 30 years ever since he was sealed away.
History[]
Before the mod[]
In the early 90s, 'M' and Daddy Dearest partnered up and had a monopoly in the videogame market, with the former earning a fortune thanks to Nintendo. However, after believing he had enough money, Daddy Dearest would seal 'M' away into a Super Mario Brothers Cartridge, where he would lie dormant for years. Eventually, 'M' learned that Daddy Dearest had a daughter, Girlfriend, and a son in law named Boyfriend. Desiring revenge against his former partner, 'M' decided he would take away what what Dearest valued most.[3]
During the mod[]
On a seemingly normal day at home. Boyfriend and Girlfriend are both playing on their phones, that is until the doorbell rings, and upon answering it are met with a mysterious yellow "crewmate" who has come to offer them a game cartridge for the Nintendo NES that is simply titled "MARIO" and is completely covered in blood. Rudely shutting the door on them, Boyfriend and Girlfriend decide to play the cartridge, which turns out to be a copy of the very first Mario game. Playing through the game as normal, Boyfriend winds up running into an enemy, which causes the game to start glitching out like mad along with the sound of a distorted scream being heard. Freaked out by the strange occurrence, he continues to try and play the game, only for a hand to come out of the TV and pulling him along with Girlfriend inside.
Waking up in a strange, distorted world, Boyfriend runs in Horror Mario, who introduces himself, before stating that he is not going to kill them "yet", wanting to have fun with his two newest subjects first. In response, Girlfriend intervenes and transforms into her demon self, attempting to use her powers on Horror Mario, only to fail, and to reveal that her powers were completely useless in this place, stating that this world was his and that she'll pay for what her father did to him years ago.
Turning his attention to Boyfriend, Horror Mario informs him that he has heard the tales of how he's has taken on many dangerous creatures similar to that of him. He then strikes up a deal, stating that if he could beat him in a duet of three songs, he would let him go, and if he lost, Boyfriend would perish by his hand, to which Boyfriend agrees to Girlfriend's complete bewilderment.
It's-A-Me[]
During the first song, titled "It's-A-Me", Horror Mario faces off against Boyfriend in a duet, he having a sadistic smirk on his face all the while. At a later point during the song, he behinds to laugh and his fasts begins to distort, causing Boyfriend to start becoming anxious.
Starman Slaughter[]
Following the conclusion of their first rap battle. Horror Mario begins to laugh once more, before rhetorically asking that they take things up a notch, before grabbing Boyfriend and Girlfriend, and throwing them into a nearby area in front of Bowser's castle that has been completely set ablaze. From there the next song titled "Starman Slaughter" begins. During a later point in the song, John Dick, one of Horror Mario minion, joins in on the rap battle, playing their trombone, fighting alongside him against Boyfriend.
While the two are facing off against each other, Yoshi.exe comes in from the background, landing on a POW block, causing Horror Mario to fall off the platform he was on, and for Super Horror Peach to take his place as the opponent for a short duration of the battle. Killing the both of them and returning with a now melted expression and clearly aggravated by their interruption, Horror Mario continues his fight with Boyfriend, who once more looks unnerved by the situation, before ending things off with a scream of frustration.
Warp Zone[]
Following the events of Starman Slaughter, Boyfriend begins to flee, seizing Girlfriend and running off of the platform he was battling on, leading them to falling into a Warp Star and "escaping" Horror Mario's grasp. However, he does not seem all that fazed by this, as a matter of fact, he's gleeful about it, as he knows that means that the two of them will run into the other distorted entities within his realm, before ending things off by saying that "Mario get them next time"
Overdue[]
While Boyfriend and Girlfriend were busy facing off against Horror Mario's gauntlet, Pico had come into their house, presumably to investigate their disappearance, before taking notice of their television being turned on, approaching the screen to take a closer look, he grabs Pico by the shirt and pulls him into the TV as well, forcing him to face off against Mr. L.
All-Stars[]
Prelude[]
After Boyfriend has managed to beat all of the opponents within the Warp Zone, Horror Mario begins to congratulate him, saying that even he was impressed with Boyfriend's persistence, though he goes on to state that all good things must come to an end eventually and adds he had broken their deal. Horror Mario then reveals that since the opponents the duo fought in the Warp Zone were all apart of his game, they all belonged to him. Dropping the Mario impression, he informs him that his fate was sealed the moment he laid eyes on the cartridge and he and Girlfriend were both his playthings now, insisting there were going to have "so much fun!" before challenging Boyfriend to come and face him one final time.
(Act 1)[]
Now in his new form fused with the other characters from the mod, Ultra M faces off against the duo of Boyfriend and Girlfriend in a city that has been completely destroyed. After a short back and fourth between the two sides, Ultra M captures Girlfriend as they transverse through the warp pipe and sends out Omega, alongside the latter's minions LG, W4R and YOSH to keep Boyfriend busy while he kills Girlfriend and makes her into one of his puppets, leading to Act 2 of the song.
(Act 3)[]
Having managed to mangle Girlfriend's corpse and turn her into one of his puppets, Ultra M has her face off against Boyfriend as a way to break his spirit, taunting him about how he failed to save her and that it was time for him to "take the step" and that there was no point in looking back due to there being nothing left, before transporting Boyfriend to the final act.
(Act 4)[]
Taunting Boyfriend about how he was now one soul stronger and that he was completely alone, before questioning what the point in trying even was, Ultra M commences the final act. Wanting to avenge his fallen partner, Boyfriend takes one last stand against Ultra M, despite the odds being very much stacked against him, singing his heart out through the tears, trying his best to show no fear.
In the end however, it would all prove a futile effort, as despite trying his best, Ultra M would manage to impale him from behind and right through the heart, killing him instantly and securing victory over the rapper. Despite having finally gotten revenge against his former business partner, M finds the triumph extremely hollow, empty and sadly realizes that, by killing Boyfriend and Girlfriend, he’s all alone once again. With nothing left to do, the demon expresses his melancholy by singing on a piano, wondering if it was worth getting revenge on Daddy Dearest and if this was what he truly wanted since he's anything but satisfied.

Trivia[]
- The original artist of Horror Mario (Shadow-Shana) is OK with their art being used, as long as credit is given. However, it sadly often isn't.
- Regardless, Shadow-Shana is glad that Horror Mario is in a project.[4]
- Super Horror Mario is most often interpreted as Mario.EXE due to Sonic.EXE's fame for its similarities, however, the art was released months before Sonic's infamous creepypasta and the motives for its creation were different, and his real name is Super Horror Mario.[1]
- Ironically, Marco Antonio has already called him Mario.EXE several times.[2]
- This take on Horror Mario actually has a definitive origin and backstory, as opposed to the original who is simply just a piece of art.
- This take is obviously based on the art of Super Horror Mario, but also Coolrash's Mario.EXE due to the poisonous mushrooms in It's-A-Me.
- A similar artpiece was made by the same artist called Super Horror Peach, more commonly dubbed Peach.EXE. It's likely she is a partner to Horror Mario, as the description reads "Every Super Horror Mario needs a Super Horror Princess Peach!"
- Shana also made a Super Horror Daisy, and a Super Horror Luigi.
- Originally, Horror Mario and GB were the same entity before Marco Antonio decided to change it.[5]
- Oddly, he wields a butcher knife in this mod rather than a kitchen knife like in the original artwork.
- He's one of the few Friday Night Funkin' villains who not only succeeds in killing Boyfriend and Girlfriend onscreen, but in breaking the former entirely.
- Furthermore, he's the only one who actually seems to regret doing so to some extent.
- Despite claiming the opponents in the mod are his "friends", they're nothing but slaves to M as confirmed by Marco Antonio.
- The eyes on his "hat" as Ultra M is an obvious reference to Cappy from Super Mario Odyssey.
- Marco Antonio confirmed that Horror Mario's Ultra M form is a fusion of all the mod's opponents, in Steven Universe style.
- This could explain why Ultra M has a different voice than Horror Mario.
- For some unknown reason, L is Real, John Dick, Racist Mario, Luigi's Day Out Mario, Super Bad Mario, Somari, Grand Dad, and Chris Pratt are not present in the Act 4 of All-Stars, which could mean they are not present in the fusion.
- Ironically Mr. SyS is present in the Act 4 even though his song is unlocked after All-Stars and is not canon.[6]
- This is because, according to a conversation between y0ucannotbeatus on Twitter and Marco, All-Stars Act 4 and Unbeatable were getting finished up around the same time, and the devs thought it would be funny to add him.
- Despite his immense power and capability, M doesn’t appear to be immortal despite being a demon. He at least appears to be vulnerable to fire, as seen by his melted appearance once he remerges after killing Super Horror Peach and Super Horror Yoshi for knocking him into the flames.
- However, this could very well be a visual ruse by M to intimidate BF, as he quickly reforms himself in seconds after BF runs away onto the Warp Star.
- Marco Antonio has stated on Discord that Horror Mario and Mr. Sys are partners and although they don't dislike each other, they aren't friends either.
