For the most part, but the final boss is pretty gruesome, and then there's the double fakeout ending
>oh yay, we got a princess!
>oh no she's a zombie and now Mark's dead
>oh yay it was just a bad dream
>oh Bert's back, and apparently he WASN'T a good monster

And even more hellish, the town market and the floating castle.
I know it aged a bit but fuck, it's brutal the first time.

This and Hyrule Castle Town scared me so much that as soon as I got a teleportation song I refused to leave the Temple of Time any way other than directly teleporting out so I wouldn't have to see this or run past the Redeads.

That time in Tony Hawk's underground 2 where after the retards of the jackass crew clown around one shark jumping moment after another in a crescendo the player is sent to hell and meets the devil.

Yoshi's island's entire 6th and last world replaces Yoshi's Island lush environments with the dull brown edgy land of skeletons and bandits.
And then out of nowhere in this kiddie game comes the most metal song ever in a Mario game

Having to kill your mutated girlfriend in Splatterhouse 1 fucked me up as a kid. Especially when she'd briefly detransform and beg you for help.

I thought the point was to chose when the game starts to go metal, not when it reaches maximum metal.

For me it's Area 5 from TMNT NES. Mostly dark overworld with helicopters constantly buzzing overhead trying to bomb you. No Foot ninjas or soldiers, just weird aliens and mutants. Creepy music all throughout.

Redeads spooked me so much as a kid that I wouldn't even get the Sun's Song and I'd never walk through the market, but I was able to play Doom in kindergarten just fine. I guess having a bunch of guns makes you less afraid of things.

I had more troubles in 5,6,7 than 8. The whole game is just training and when you get to 8 it is a cakewalk.

I didn't say it was interesting anon, I just said it looked metal. 7 was the one for me

[Anonymous No.10126670]

>>10117228
Yeah, it's too bad the other seven stages were pretty generic in comparison. A sewer, a cavern, an Egyptian stage, a lake, a haunted mansion, a tower, and a cloud stage. I guess if I'm being charitable at least some of those were slightly different on a structural level like the haunted mansion being a door maze and the tower being a vertical scroll instead of horizontal, but that's all I can really say. Not only did the first stage have the highlight of the game with the whole mood flip, but even before that part it looks more surreal and unique than the rest of the game. A mood change for every level would have just lessened the effect but they could have made the graphics a little weirder. At least the bosses remained weird throughout the whole game.
