Spoopy Maryo is an Atari 2600 styled survival minigame developed by HylianDev shortly after his promotion to Global Moderator. HylianDev developed the game in a very short amount of time with low standards, because he did not intend for the fangame to be accepted onto the mainsite, and was in fact, simply a joke to the Site Staff. After its being accepted onto the Mainsite, it was excessively bashed for its lazy game design, and barely fitting the definition of a video game.

Plot
Mario is being chased by a ghost, and he must run as fast as he can to escape.
Gameplay
Mario is controlled by rapidly tapping A. The more rapidly the key is pressed, the more momentum will be built up. It is not, however, possible to "win" the game because the ghost moves substantially faster than Mario is capable of. Upon colliding with the ghost, the game will abruptly end, with Mario fallen over and bleeding out across the ground.
Reception
Spoopy Maryo was generally proclaimed as an abomination of a fangame, and had no merits whatsoever (with the exception of the few who found the graphic style unique). So strong was the negative reaction to the game, that it was removed from the mainsite within one week of its acceptance. Many players determined that it was not actually a game, as there was no material goal and very little atmosphere, though this conclusion was found very questionable by others.
It was later revealed that HylianDev did not actually intend for the game to be accepted by the Quality Control, as it was simply a joke for the Site Staff. DJ Coco stated that she had in fact, not played it as she assumed that a member of the Site Staff would not submit something if it was not of sound quality. It has been theorized that Vinny Video was the second person to accept it onto the mainsite, as he has a history of being quite lenient on what can be accepted. This information did not, however, alleviate the consistently negative reviews the game had been given.
