Luigi’s Mansion is beloved for its fun gameplay and the fact that it shines a light on Mario’s beloved brother, Luigi. But one theory believes that the entire Luigi’s Mansion series may be more than a solo outing and could actually be the epilogue to the entire Mario franchise.

Fan Theory Suggests Luigi’s Mansion is the End of Super Mario Bros.

The Luigi’s Mansion games always established Luigi’s story and how he’s forced to eventually combat ghosts that include the deadly King Boo. However, it wasn’t until Luigi’s Mansion 3 that we saw Mario and the others as they tried to enjoy a road trip vacation. Of course, this led to them being captured in a haunted hotel and Luigi saving the day. But it also lacked one character in all three games: Bowser.

Nintendo’s Mario universe is one that’s anything but linear. With stories and narratives going in many different directions, it’s hard to say what the main storyline could be. As a result, many theories posit ideas to make sense of the stranger parts of the franchise, like the theory that believes there are actually two Paper Marios.

Could There Be Two Paper Marios?

We all love the Super Mario Brothers just as much as we love their baby versions. However, the Paper Mario franchise has also provided a version of the character that is just as fun and possibly even more creative. With many titles in the series, it’s clear this iteration is just as important as any other Mario, but according to one Reddit theory, this is because the series explores two types of Paper Marios.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space was always known as the strangest cult classic that ’80s horror had to offer. But Illfonic’s new game Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game lets you feel the horror firsthand as you try and find a way to put the Klowns down for good, which isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: Tips for Killing Klowns

In the movie, the only way that the Klowns could be killed was by shooting or stabbing their big red noses. Not only is this also used in the game, but there are also other methods to ensure you can nail a killing blow. The reason why killing them is so important, aside from the obvious, is that it takes that player out of commission for 45 seconds, offering enough time to strategize and escape. That said, taking out their noses is the best bet and also one of the most difficult aspects of playing as a Human.

Star Wars: Hunters is a new third-person arena shooter with a collection of new characters of varying classes, game modes to mix up the fun, and unique weapons for each character that’s coming to mobile platforms. Though this tier list could shift upon the game’s release, some Star Wars: Hunters characters will naturally be better than others, whether it’s due to look, weapons, or natural ability.

S-Tier

While many Star Wars: Hunters characters have the same role, what separates them is the way they achieve their goals and the weapons they use to do so.

The world of Fallout continues to hide mysteries of both an informative and downright terrifying kind. While many may immediately think of the terrible experiments done in the Vaults, some theories also allude to topics such as the Great War and a Lovecraftian reason for it happening in the first place.

The Great War Was Started to Save Humanity From the Dark Gods

When factoring in all of the moving parts in the world before the Great War, it’s hard to know how or what caused the bombs to start dropping. Some could argue it was a global conflict that reached a fever pitch, while other outlets, like the Fallout TV show, showed that the secret cause was Vault-Tec and other companies starting the war to protect their assets. However, the real cause may be more supernatural than anticipated.

The Fallout universe is filled with all manner of irradiated creatures and individuals. But what you may not realize is that one of the deadliest creatures, the Trogs, were the product of a company that sold an iconic everyday cleaning item before the Great War.

What Are Trogs in Fallout?

Commonly found in The Pitt in Fallout 3 and Fallout 76, Trogs are what you might call a twisted mix of a zombie and Gollum from The Lord of the Rings. They are individuals who suffer from the Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion (TDC), which is a mixture of ambient radiation exposure and industrial toxins. While it’s not contagious, those who are affected by TDC rarely get a chance to be cured.

When it comes to the Fallout franchise, everyone has a first game. For those of you who have been there since Day 1, Fallout (1997) was probably your first. But for newcomers, Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 was likely the one that kickstarted it all. This was also the era of amazing fan theories that include Fallout 4‘s Sole Survivor being a synth.

Fallout Theory: The Sole Survivor Is a Synth

In Fallout 4, you play as the Sole Survivor, a war veteran looking to live their life in peace with their spouse and infant son, Shaun. However, when the bombs start dropping, you’re immediately scuttled to Vault 111, which, like so many others, had a secret plan to test the cryogenic effects on humans. Sadly, this resulted in you watching raiders steal your son and kill your spouse. When you finally get out, you’re forced to enter the Wasteland to find your child.

Senua’s Mythic Journey Thus Far

Gun Interactive’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre took every great aspect of Friday the 13th: The Game and turned the dial to 11. But rather than rely solely on the characters from the movies, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has chosen to develop and expand the franchise lore by introducing new characters like the mysterious new addition, Hands.

Who Is Hands in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

In the world of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you won’t be surprised that the only consistent member of the cannibal family in question has been Leatherface. This is because, depending on the movie, Leatherface’s family could be the Hewitts, Sawyers, or the Slaughters. In the game, the only family members from the movies that you can play are the Cook and the Hitchhiker. As a result, the addition of Hands is no surprise.
