So, here are a handful of enemies from the series that seemed a little too much on the terrifying side despite existing in games of wonder, joy, and head-stomping jumps. Not that Super Mario 3D All Stars or any of the games in the series lean into horror very hard (beyond the occasional ghost house), but in a world where so many things want to kill you, there’s bound to be some element of fear involved.

The world of Mario is kind of…dangerous, right? For something so bright and cheery, there sure are a lot of things that can bring Mario’s life to a quick end. And the dozens of nasty turtles, biting mushrooms, and bloodthirsty flowers that mean to do him in. And the various mechanisms and machines that aim to crush him to paste. Super Mario 3D All Stars is out and reintroducing new generations to the delights of grabbing stars and shines, as well as the charming depths of the hundreds of yawning pitfalls looking to swallow Mario whole.
