What game has the darkest theme?

Yeah, my vote goes for TTYD. I haven't played much of SPM, but so far Mario hasn't fought any demons or interacted with street gangs.
SPOILER ALERT Super Paper Mario, I mean, c'mon, Luigi is brainwashed into being a bad guy, the tragic love story of Lord Blumier/Count Bleck and Lady Timpani/Tippi, the whole Mario equivalent of Hell, etc. Not to mention the whole Count Bleck was going to commit mass, mass, mass genocide and destroy everything.
END SPOILERS
I didn't read whatever that spoiler was, but I'm assuming it totally PWNED me and my comment about SPM lacking demons and street gangs.

I agree with Sir Grodus... I watched people playing the game on YouTube (Becasuse I can't afford to buy the Wii and play it myself :P ) and the storyline does seem very dark... Darker than I'd expect from a Super Mario game...Sir Grodus said:

It's funny, but Cyrus from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl had pretty much the same plan as Count Bleck; destroy the universe and make a newer, better one. Of course, Cyrus was a misanthropic sociopath and Count Bleck was simply demented with grief. Still, Count Bleck's plan of destroying everything and killing an infinite number of people seems to make Super Paper Mario one of the darkest of the Mario games.

Super Paper Mario has such a dark theme... I love it; especially...
SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER!!!!!
How Bleck and Tippi were in love, how Bleck and Tippi were seperated, cruel and sinister Dimentio, the destruction of Sammer's Kingdom (come ON people, that is MASS MURDER!), the World of Nothing (SUUUPER spooky at night), and even the amazing, deep surprise ending of Chapter 7.

Though I must say, Partners in Time had the darkest theme. Reminded me of horror films... Especially the stuff about sucking the life out of Toads... Creepy...
The Thousand-Year Door never struck me as a dark game, but now that I think of it it is A dark game, but not very dark; there are some dark themes, yes, but the great humor and wackiness sort of nulls the darkness. Doopliss was dark and spooky, for example...until he's actually met, then he's never dark nor spooky again. Grubba was one dark dude, though.
So anyway, my vote goes to Partners in Time.

They didn't exactly suck the life out of Toads... "Vim" simply means "energy"... But that's creepy, too...

I pick Paper Mario thousand year door. 
In Super Paper Mario, all the worlds were ending; as in, all of existance would be wiped out and nothing will be left; several... some really, really, really huge number of people would die.Max2 said:
