Well paisanos! That's all ya get! That's it! Check my other videos! [NO!]
...Ahem, now that a week has past for you guys to easter egg hunt. How 'bout some trivia? It's a LOOOOONG read. This might get edited a couple of times for corrections so take a read if you're waiting for smthn or want to hang this on a wiki for XPGlitz' entity.

-The video itself took about 5 months(?) to develop, but including breaks, the entire development took us an entire YEAR. Good gosh was I surprised when I heard that. This is the second time a vid of mine (half of it) has gone through as much trouble, the first being the YTP "SpringBoob Squirepin's Final Sale of [GELATIN]".
-The idea for these covers are older than you think, in-fact, before Type-NES, it wasn't going to be in the NES at all! Previous versions had it be in the SNES, which wouldn't make sense since LOGM fended off Mario as to not get foiled by him to searched for Luigi. And of course, thematic oddities.
-The intro dialogue itself used to be much, much longer. The full lore dump dialogue will be in my BlueSky later.
-The map scenes were the first thing I did, already gave me trouble. I tried using the Real-Time Corruptor Vanguard to get actual corruptions for the NES, but for some reason the emulator it uses is not showing anything, I tried getting help in different Discord servers. Nobody answered me and I got an insult to my hard-working PC, and it's cried. If that person is reading this, please apologize to it now.
-Originally Blur was meant to also make visuals for Demise, but they didn't look great, especially cuz L-Type-NES was a single running sprite.
-The reason for the previous is that before progress started, he sent me 2 different crude sprites, one of which is of a run. I did both sprites, but I didn't make a 3-frame cycle, one of the reasons why is how the heck do you make someone with 6 legs run??? In retrospect, I should've tried long ago before I got the mantle of making Demise.
-Eventually both his and my problem led to additional animated segments getting cut.
-The strange Bootleg M you see is Derpio. A dum mayro who seemly appeared after Bootleg M's death. No one in-universe knows if he existed before or after the bootleg heroes' death.
-Mario was meant to be screaming in panic for the first few lines of Demise. It was otherwise a really good take, but I don't want to repeatedly ask BlueK to do another take. It sounds painful and that's after the point where we got tired. (Plus, Blue was getting burnout around that time.)
-The BG of World 2-2 is the only one with static because I couldn't get it to loop correctly. Didn't want to spend hours rearranging the tiles either.
-The chase has occasional people on the foreground because nothing else was going on besides running, so something had to photobomb them. Unlike Overdue where enemies were not present at all, because I don't think they're important besides a shell.
-Also Derpio is in Demise too cuz Blur wanted me to add him. He was once filler till I decided the first 2 Luigis need to get their attacks from somewhere. He escapes too, don't worry.
-I tasked Blur's part to be the scene before the part where MX would scream, but he instead did that part, I ended up having to do the intended one. There needed to be an explanation on how Mario got the idea to use the Luigis against LOGM in LICV2.
-The projectile that hits Yoshi & Mario was supposed to be a hand or garbage data, but it became a Luigi, like LOGM's move "Get out of my mouth" in M.U.G.E.N. (We both decided that before I can even mention the move, haha.)
-L-Type-NES' fall damages are inspired by 2 or 3 gifs by somebody. Don't know who made them, but XPGlitz reposted them in my server. If you can see mine without the 3-color limit, the stick limbs are black like those gifs.
-The shot of Mario mourning over Yoshi by his eggshells is derived from an idea Blur told me that I didn't use fully. In his own words, it was for "a post-credits scene where Mario tries to jump on a block but to no avail, to which he cries and kicks only to have the remains fall directly on his face. Referencing the Kick Buttowski episode "Switching Gears" where when Gordon loses the race, he does the same thing until a Funnel Cake falls on his face." First off, the ending was already decided so I don't have time to add an extra scene. Second, I have never seen Kick Buttouski in my life. (Ok, just 1. but that was back in middle school.) Third, I don't think Mario is like that, I would usually base some of his acts off of Super Mario Adventures and/or Super Smash Bros. Dealing with a monstrous Luigi is new to him. Fourth. Would that mean the entire Yoshi population mysteriously disappeared in the SNES after? In my mind, Mario can always hatch another! ...without all the memories he made.
-Speaking of Adventures, that might've been where I got the "pipe from the sky" bit, either that or the SMW Cartoons.
-The narration was a repurposed idea of mine for something unrelated to this. But the idea itself was entirely different when it was pitched to me. It would've been an informal woman telling the story to an audience, how she knows? Mario described the events to her. Unlike the beta tester, she slips off the attempt formal tone and often makes sassy remarks, and by the end of Demise, it would've been revealed to been Princess Daisy. The only other remnants of that idea is the crowd audio in the warning where she would've told them they don't care about the warnings (where it was written how I usually wrote them instead of formally) and where Mario on the NES map turned around to see how far he is, there was meant to be dialogue there.
-Thing is, Blur already recruited the VA before I can give an answer or provide the one I end up using, good thing I'm a Daisy enjoyer, guess we gotta use the VA. right?... no we got absolutely exhausted by September. The scenes didn't get made, but as far as I know, dialogue was written, and I know cuz I wrote the intro for that!
-I actually tried getting the Daisy VA to voice the Beta Tester, but even if she kindly understood why her part is getting cut, she passed out on the idea cuz she doesn't know the example I provided. So, I ended up voicing the Beta Tester, they were not assigned a gender. I swear I sound better in my head.
-In the same end scene as the Daisy one, there would've a bit with DaBoyfriend and Girlfriend waiting... for nothing? Yes, BF n GF would've been in here for some reason. This is after Daisy said her thanks for making to the end to a bunch of SMW enemies, BF N GF leave after they ask if they were supposed to stay. While this fits into the MVERSE and a huge mod idea that I don't have the mentality for, I don't know the point of it, maybe cuz I didn't make it to get what the funny is. 2 lines were recorded, but likewise, the scene didn't get made.
-I didn't want to add many fun easter eggs because it's been noted this is supposed to be a more serious and emotional video, so the jokes are minimal. Yes, I'm Derpy Sponge and I like to use [GELATIN], but I gotta make something not silly every once in a while, at least, that's what I've been wanting to do.
-As stated by Flowey in my previous upload, this was meant to be done on Mario's 40th anniversary, but it needed more time.
-Again, as stated in community posts, the lore that was setup in this vid and the playlist was XPGlitz' doing, not mine, I just modified it a little.
-Blur had this idea where the Green Quartet would've had their own speaking voices too, I finally know what a KentuckyMario is, they would've been selected for Beta Luigi and SMM2 Luigi. But there wasn't an opportunity to have them speak at all.
-I guess in the same topic as the previous, you might notice Green Mario and SMM2 Luigi use the same voices, to regulate this: Green M does most of the speaking while SMM2 Luigi only speaks in the 64 era quotes.
-Originally in LICV2, the thumbnail was going to be hand drawn, but because it was close to Halloween, that never happened. It was meant to be repurposed for this too, but Blur lacked interest, plus college was coming up.
-If there's gonna be someone taking on the Funky Forest tracks, it's gonna be me. Obviously now, I won't, perhaps never. I'll lose myself again. Don't take my job and don't ask for anymore. @_@
-This video costed my sleep, but I'm persistent. Hit a record that day...yeah vid almost became another SMW like LICV2, thankfully not on the exact day it was meant to be uploaded. There should be no Luigi minions with pupils this time. (Excluding silhouettes & illusionary fakes.)

...but really, if y'all like this and secondary interests include YTPs, M.U.G.E.N and/or VG mod stuff. Check out the rest of my channel! It's about to be 10 years since its first upload too!
...and as of this edit in 3/7/2026, it's passed. If you had a good read and understand what I had to go through, support me here. https://ko-fi.com/derpysponge43

Who put analog horror lore in my FNF cover?

My favorite part 8:34

This entire series was beautiful to be honest, you guys out did yourselves for real👏

Now the lore is completed

Mama Mia! This turned out pretty cool. Thanks for having me on.

I really want this video to be a playable mod
So I'm going to take this whole day to program the mod

I know it’s hard thinking about the punishment but it’s like ripping off a bandage, you just gotta do it

10:40 why do i feel like that, after hearing the MIM start sound, i have a feeling that this is not Mario that came out of the pipe but PS135

Very much like the lore bit
Adds pazza to everything overall

11:02 I’m gonna take a guess and say that this part is what leads into Luigi’s identity crisis?
