Scariest Mario enemy is the Eerie. Just think about it: The whole Cap Kingdom is Eeries and we become acquainted with their powers to possess almost anything... and what if Cappy was controlling Mario the whole time???

Piano is the only correct answer

[Evil Yoshi Toes]

The piano definitely. The eels from Mario 64 terrified me as well.

It's just a theory... a GAME theory.

I'd say Count Blek cause that guy has some serious relationship problems.

The only one that legitimately scared me was the piano

+1 to the piano. Nothing else scared me in a Mario game before or since.

The sudden jump when it becomes alive, paired with the creepy eyeless teeth (this enemy is a Mario enemy and has no eyes; in context that's even creepier than the hills *having* eyes), and worst of all, the horrible piano noises grating on your ears until you leave the room or turn off your N64 or the TV.

[Fun With Despair]

Everyone who says the Piano is the worst never played Luigi's Mansion when it came out, or if they have, they never fought Bogmire or got to the blackout.

Bogmire in hindsight isn't that bad, but is extremely creepy as a kid because of the way he casts these super long, dark shadows everywhere and how completely abstract and different he is from most other Mario enemies, but the blackout...

Oh boy the blackout.

When you were playing this game on an old CRT, it got extremely dark, and the blackout single-handed undid everything you spent the game doing, while simultaneously cloaking the entire house in darkness, spawning ghosts EVERYWHERE. Every enemy in Luigi's Mansion became terrifying beyond what the Piano was the second those lights go out, because not only do they jumpscare you, they're everywhere.

DO NOT under estimate this lakitu to much or it will be the end of that life (note: do not over estimate him either).

That did not make me want to p*** my pants as a child. That Piano on the otherhand did.

After reading this, I am excited to play Luigis Mansion for 3ds. Just picked it up. Should be funnnnn!!!

What about the big shadowy manta ray from Super Mario Sunshine?

I thought Bogmire was more cool than scary. And while the blackout was a scary situation to be in, it was still all the same enemies which in and of themselves weren't particularly scary. The whole ordeal with more annoying than scary.

The piano was scary because it was a jump scare paired with an unsettling anthropomorphism of an unlikely object. The banging keys just kicked it up another level.

excellent s*** post, my man

in all seriousness, hot foot from mario bros. 3 is the only mario enemy to ever viscerally scare me. it's basically a walking flame, and fire which takes the shape of a human is something that terrifies me. for example, there is a boss in final fantasy 5 called liquid flame which is a magma puddle which shapeshifts, beginning as a human-shape, which legitimately gave me nightmares.

The scariest enemy: his actual face is so scary he uses a mask to hide it.
