10 Creepy Video Game Details That Will Give You Chills

6: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Spooky Cliff Figures

Most of these creepy video game details have some kind of reasonable explanation behind then, this is one that doesn't, and somehow that makes it all the more unsettling.

In Shiverburn Galaxy and a section of the Grandmaster Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2 you can spot some ghostly figures peering down at you from a cliff. The black figures have weird hollow eyes and can’t be accessed as they are part of the game’s sky model.

The texture is named HellValleySkyTree. It’s been speculated that ‘hell’ may be referring to heat, specifically lava, as Shiverburn Galaxy is called Frozen Lava galaxy in the game’s final Japanese release.

Suffice it to say, the figures are particularly freaky, especially in the whimsical modern classic platformer, and Nintendo has never discussed them publicly, so your guess is as good as mine here.
