== Description ==

The video, created using [[wikipedia:Windows Movie Maker|Windows Movie Maker]], begins with a remix of the Underground theme from ''[[wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' playing at a low volume level as the background music. During this, text on a default blue background appears, reading: "For years, Mario has been a favorite of video game players around the world. But what people don't know is that there was a subliminal message in one of the levels." A cover art of ''[[wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]'' is then shown for a few seconds, before some more text appears, reading: “Specifically, the game was Super Mario World in the very first level. Here’s a screenshot of the level, try and see if you can see it.” Then, a screenshot from the level Yoshi's Island 1 is shown for a few seconds. Also shown on this screenshot is an incoherent vertical bar which looks similar to a cigarette, on the bottom left corner. Finally, an image of a bloody mask pops up afterwards, accompanied by a distorted scream. The image contains a link to a domain: frightprops.com.

The description of the video on YouTube prompts the viewer to look closely in the bottom left corner for the subliminal message. Also included below is a link to another video from the same channel, titled "Watcha Say?".
