Mairo the music box

About this script (Mario) The Music Box is a game created by Team Ari inspired from "Corpse Party", "Mad Father" and "The Witch's House" and is a horror/survival/puzzle game. As of 5/6/2019, the game's current version is 1.2. Due to many complaints about the difficulty with the button combination system during certain actions, as well as with a time limit, the current build has a new system where only the spacebar is required to be pressed rapidly to fill up a gauge and with the time limit being removed, making it easier to progress through the game. For more information of the game, see here.

Team Ari later announced an indirect sequel that takes place after (Mario) The Music Box. The sequel will have no connections to (Mario) The Music Box. Team Ari has later released (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-, which is an extension to (Mario) The Music Box that takes place during the "Missing Ending". As of 5/6/2019, the game's current is version 1.2. It was stated by Team Ari that since the Missing Ending was the easiest and shortest ending to achieve, -ARC- was to be created as a stand-alone extension.

PLOT\WHAT IS IT ABOUT:

Mario has heard rumors of a abandoned home that has been close to the Mushroom Kingdom over a century. That people who go inside it never come back. Mario and Princess Peach were supposed to investigate the strange place but Mario decided to go alone. Inside the home he finds a strange music box that was playing by itself. Little that he know that a "harmless" music box would of cause the home to try eat him alive.

Mario walks through a rainy road on his way to the mansion. He discovered that no one has ever told him exactly where the mansion was, and it was rumored to have been eating people alive. His purpose was not to investigate about the rumors, but find out what happened to the missing people.

When Mario enters the gates of the house, he must find something usable to pry the front door open. After entering the house, Mario will notice there is no sign of people and that the house has been abandoned. Upon inspecting the area, he notices only one room has a light open. Curious to find out some information, Mario heads toward that area and comes across a strange music box playing by itself. Wondering what its purpose was, Mario decides to take it with him on his journey. He then receives a message written in blood on the wall telling him to take the exit. Not understanding why, but when he decides to obey what the message has told him, he notices the front door has gone missing, leaving him to be trapped within the house. Mario now must find his way out before the house eats him alive.

As Mario investigates the house, he will come across diary pages written by residents of the house. Mario also comes equipped with a journal, in which, he writes a new entry after an event has occurred. The more diary pages he receives the closer he is to uncovering the truth behind the house.

Throughout the game, Mario is forced to go through dangerous situations he has never experienced before on his adventures. In order to progress, he has to take upon himself by searching through dark rooms with evil spirits lurking within, and making tough choices not to be consumed by those that pursue him.

The gameplay focuses heavily on exploration, puzzle-solving, and clue-gathering. You take control of Mario and search throughout various locations of the Mansion to find out the truth regarding the mansion. The player must be cautious when searching the mansion, due to the house having many places where they can be killed instantly (one of the more iconic traps being the fake painted door at the beginning of the game.)

LOCATIONS:

The main music box in Mario the Music Box is found early in the game within the abandoned mansion, specifically in a room down the hall from the top-left area of the foyer. Mario finds this haunted object after hearing it play by itself, which triggers the main events of the story.

The Mansion is the main location (Mario) The Music Box takes place. It is the home of Alice Aduraice, the main antagonist of the story, and the area where Mario investigates after hearing rumors from Princess Peach.

Abandoned Mineshaft:

Garden Area:

Initial Discovery: After using a crowbar to enter the mansion, head top-left in the foyer to locate the room with the music box. The Mansion: The entire game focuses on investigating the mansion rooms, as the box causes the structure to become a dangerous maze. Plot Significance: Mario takes the music box after a cutscene, which leads to receiving a map card and a lantern. Remastered/ARC: The story expands into areas like the Forest of Suicide and Wonderland, with multiple memory fragments to find, including one behind a wall in the east residence. The mansion was once a beautiful home inhabited by a rich family, with Alice being the current house owner. In it, was also employed by Alfred, the butler, and Rosa, the maid, who both took care of the residents and the household.

Present Time The mansion has been abandoned for over a century after an event had occurred within the family that caused all the residents to go missing. Its appearance now, is nothing but an abandoned house located deep within the woods. The front gates is constructed of metal, with two trees standing vertical to each other between the front gates. Within the gates, there's a fountain located in the middle, two statues built by the front steps, dead trees all over the front yard, along with tombstones. The Mansion is now inhabited by spirits of those who were once human that died living there. Their souls were unable to pass on to the afterlife and were trapped due to the mansion's curse. There are also spirits having no affiliation with the residents that lurk within the halls, possibly people who attempted to investigate the house but became victims that also went missing over the years. According to Riba, it is said that the mansion is known to shift rooms to different locations from time to time because of the curse. It explains why some doors that were suppose to lead to respective rooms, lead to a different location throughout the course of the game.

PLACE OF BIRTH Unknown an Italian plumber with brown hair and black eyebrows. His hair have three front locks, four back locks and a small sprout-like tuft on the top of his head. His eyes, originally blue with black pupils, turn green when Alice possesses him(Be possessed sometimes eyes glowing green). He has a large round nose and a black mustache. His choice of clothing consist of red shirt, blue overalls with gold buttons on it, a red hat with his signified M labeled on it, brown shoes and a pair of white gloves. Though he's the oldest of the two, he's shorter in height compared to Luigi. In the Wonderland update in Mario the music box Arc, Mario's attire drastically changes. He wears a white shirt with a blue vest, and he dons a small red top hat on the corner of his head. Additionally, Mario's blue eyes also have spades in them. Personality

As (Mario) The Music Box shifts away from the Mario universe, Mario's personality is similar to an average protagonist in a typical RPG-Horror Game. In addition to his official universe's counterpart, he gains the ability to speak. He will comment on any object he examines, and give positive or negative thoughts about them. For example, if Mario examines a pot of plants, he will comment that he hates artificial plants. He is also shown to be uncomfortable around dolls, teddy bears, and mirrors, should he come in contact with them. Mario also fears the spirits that lurk inside the house, and is deeply concerned about the choices he makes. However, this does not mean all spirits since Mario can befriend those who aren't hostile towards him, even going out of his way to help them. Mario is shown to be very curious, choosing to come to the mansion just to figure out why so many people have disappeared and never came back from visiting the mansion.

One strong aspect of Mario is he cares greatly for the well-being of both his brother and Peach. This is the reason why Mario chose to go to investigate the mansion alone, without them. A common trait of Mario seen throughout the series is he cares greatly about both of them, and losing either of them (whether in bad endings or death scenes) will make Mario fall apart mentally and emotionally. In the Insane Route of Mario the Music Box, he frequently expresses his guilt for killing both Princess Peach and Luigi.

Throughout Mario's life, he was stated to be a very well-known hero across the Mushroom Kingdom, and he demonstrates many characteristics of a hero. Mario shows bravery in the playthrough for the Omitted Memory ending when he fights Alice on his own after Luigi is knocked out and Riba is killed. Mario also shows to be full of hope and unwilling to give up, no matter how hopeless things seem. Regardless of numerous spirits through the main game and Arc, Alice, and even Marchionne telling him to give up and die, Mario will still persevere, refusing to give up. When Len questions why Mario continues to fight, he replies that hope is what drives him to live and to survive. Additionally, Mario is willing to risk his life for his loved ones and for the well-being of the world. In the main game, Mario will immediately run off to look for his brother without hesitation if Riba tells him Luigi came looking for him earlier. In the Omitted Memory ending, Mario sacrifices himself to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Alice's wrath. Mario is also shown to be compassionate and even forgiving to his enemies. For example, he forgives Anna for murdering her sister and also forgives Alice as well in the True Ending, understanding that she committed murders out of desperation and the fear of death. In Arc (in the Continuance 3 and 4 endings) Mario is even willing to forgive Riba for everything that he's done, coming to trust in him and believe that he's changed.

However while Mario demonstrates the qualities of a hero, these traits have their limits. Although Mario shows bravery when dealing with situations, he does later on admit to Luigi that he is truly scared and terrified on the inside. This trait carries on in Arc, where he tells Envy the same thing, revealing that he acts brave, strong, and confident for others, while on the inside he is truly scared and afraid. Additionally, while Mario say he never gives up hope, there are times where he has become hopeless and chose to give up. When Marchionne taunts and goads Mario into hanging himself, Mario chooses to obey (though this does ironically save his life, as choosing to not give up would just lead Mario to his death). Furthermore, in the Drown ending, Mario becomes extremely hopeless knowing that everyone he's known is dead and gone. After being pestered by voices of the dead, he chooses to attempt suicide by drowning.

While Mario generally shows the traits of a hero, Mario occasionally shows a much darker side of himself. In the Insane Route of Arc, Mario viciously attacks the silhouette figure of Luigi in blind rage, completely believing that the real Luigi is actually dead. This belief ends up later on leading him to unintentionally kill the real Luigi, also believing that he was a fake. When Mario is locked in the gas room, he will break out and immediately attack and kill the person that locked him in there, without hesitation (which turns out to be Riba). And furthermore, during the Insane Route, Mario has many options and chances to choose to betray and kill Riba. Mario also shows this dark side of him the Sane Route, during the Betrayal ending. After being betrayed and killed by Luigi, Mario will come back as a hostile ghost, angry that Luigi murdered him just as he was about to escape. Though Luigi explains himself and says sorry, Mario kills Luigi regardless. Weapons

Knife: This weapon is usually used by Alice, sometimes himself(normal/be possessed) also uses this weapon. Chainsaw: This weapon was found in the corpse room on Sane route, in ARC Revamped version, press the Z key to use the chainsaw. Cleaver: This weapon was found in the corpse room on Insane route, after Misery dies, this weapon will be dropped. Machete: In the Marchionne boss fight (while Riba was alive), he uses the machete to fight Marchionne. Powers and Abilities

Mario, while not anywhere as impressive as his official counterpart, has shown to be an extremely powerful force and much more impressive than a normal human. He's faced and overcame many of the dangerous spirits and entities in the game, including Alice, Riba, Marchionne, and even Len for a brief period of time (though it should be noted Len was holding back).

Superhuman Physique: Mario is much more physically capable than a regular human. He's demonstrated to be much physically stronger than a regular person, like when he fought and overpowered Alice on the rooftop of the mansion. He's also demonstrated impressive strength in the Insane Route of Arc, when he incapacitated Riba by catching him off guard and stabbing him repeatedly. He is somewhat faster than a normal human, and a good example of his speed is where he was forced to run through a long pathway away from Vittoria, while avoiding several different holes and traps, and escape, all within 30 seconds. He's also more agile than a human and able to leap and jump far distances, like he demonstrates in the Garden Area should the player chooses to attempt to jump over the pit (however this will lead to a game over since Mario grabs the ledge but slips off). He also shows to have much more endurance than a normal human, able to survive being stabbed right through the chest from Riba in the Sane Route, and can still even walk and move around after. Additionally, in some of his death scenes (among the main game, Arc, and Wonderland), Mario is even still able to stay conscious for a long period of time even despite receiving fatal injuries. An extreme example of this is shown in Wonderland, where Mario stays conscious for a brief moment after having a flower grow out of him; specifically the flower bloomed out of his eye while thorns were stabbing and growing through his entire body from the inside out.

Intellect and Quick Planning: Mario demonstrates to be quite intelligent in the game, being shown to solve numerous puzzles in the mansion and in Evangeline. As he walks around the house, finds clues, and takes notes in his journal, Mario eventually came to piece together the true story of what happened in the mansion. Mario is also a critical thinker when he's faced with confrontation and conflict, knowing whether to run or fight when dealing with spirits. Impressively, when in the midst of bad situations, he shows to be able to formulate quick plans, and even sometimes outsmart his opponents. There are many examples of this. After being attacked by Mercy, Mario immediately finds salt and uses it against her. In the boss fight with Riba, Mario drops a chandelier on him, knowing that killing him would release his hold on Luigi. When he is forced to fight Helena in her realm, Mario outsmarts her and uses all of her traps against her. He's also shown to be knowledgeable on certain spirits, such as in the Sane Route, where Mario shows to be aware of how hostile lanterns are to the living and deduced that he shouldn't let himself be seen by them. He also seems to know how to appease certain spirits and help put them to rest, like he does to Serina, Anna, Alice, Norma, and a few others. However, his greatest feat of intelligence is eventually coming to realize that the only way to truly best Len and free himself from her control is to just not save, and not tempt fate at all.

Determination and Willpower: Mario's greatest strength aside from his intellect is his sheer will and desire to not give up. Even in the midst of hopeless situations like being possessed by Alice and struggling to escape the mansion alive, he's shown that he wouldn't give up and continues persevering no matter what. Mario also demonstrates impressive willpower by being able to resist Alice's control for most of the game, since she only completely possesses him in certain events in the game. Despite the mental and emotional trauma he's gone through and having numerous spirits and enemies telling him to give up and just accept his fate, Mario has refused and continued to persevere, determined not to die in the mansion. In the Sane Route of Arc, Mario becomes determined to calm down and reason with his brother, as well as later save him from Riba's grasp, despite Luigi's former negative feelings towards him. In the Insane Route, Mario still shows this determination, telling Marchionne that he will live on for those that he lost. Even in the fight with his ancestor, Mario's willpower completely overpowers Marchionne's, allowing Mario to defeat him.

Combat Prowess: Despite mostly being shown evading and completely avoiding his enemies most of the time in the game, Mario has shown to be somewhat proficient in combat. In the main game, he fights and defeats Alice all by himself with just his bare hands and sheer will. In Arc, Mario takes this further and demonstrates to be very skilled when using a blade, despite presumably having never done so before (this could possibly be a trait that he's inherited from Marchionne). He's able to stand up to and slay numerous shadow figures and giant spiders in the Insane Route. He's even able to overcome other more skilled, more powerful, and highly experienced entities like Misery and even Marchionne himself, as well as Sündige Nacht in Wonderland.

Loading and Saving: It is hinted by Marchionne/Sündige Nacht in most of their death scenes (and later flat out revealed by Len), that Mario has the ability to load and save each time he dies, allowing him to learn from his previous mistakes and overcome them. It's unclear how many times Mario has canonically used this ability (considering the experience of playing Mario the Music Box obviously varies from person to person), but in the ending of Continuance 4, Len sends Mario into a pit full of all the others that came before him, indicating that Mario has died quite a lot.

Heightened Reflexes: Mario does occasionally show to have impressive reflexes and reaction speeds in the game, like during the Insane Route where he manages to avoid blasts of magical lightning, as well blasts of light, from Marchionne. In the Insane Route, if the player messes up the puzzle where they have to place the moon and lady statues down correctly, they'll trigger a trap with a wire moving across the room (which in the Sane Route, completely blitzed Mario and Luigi all under a second and swiftly killed both of them). However, upon seeing it coming, Mario can quickly jump over and avoid it, depending on the player's choice.

Stealth: Mario demonstrates to be capable of stealth throughout the game, as he frequently manages to successfully hide from dangerous beings and entities. In the Insane Route, he shows two instances of being able to quietly move past enemies. One is when he manages to quietly sneak past Norma as well as several sleeping wolves in the Silent Forest. He also sneaks past three horrifying manifestations of Alice's mother during the trial of wrath at the Church. Mario in both Routes has also been able to move past Lantern spirits without getting spotted.

ADVERTISEMENT History

Mario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom, centuries after the death of his previous life. He grew up with his younger brother, Luigi. Not much is particularly known about their past and childhood, however it is hinted throughout the games that Mario and Luigi are both heroes and that they've both gone on plenty of adventures. Mario in particular is very famous among the kingdom for his bravery, while Luigi lived under his shadow. Despite this, Mario greatly cares for his brother since he's the only family he has left (implying that their parents have either died or abandoned them).

At some point in time, Mario has heard rumors of a haunted mansion that no one has ever returned from and he became interested in investigating; not because of the rumors, but to find out why so many people have disappeared at the abandoned home. The princess told him where the mansion and they were supposed to investigate together, however Mario would ultimately decide to go alone, despite knowing he would regret it.

On the day that he had planned to go to the mansion, he had woken up very early. As Luigi woke up and questioned Mario on why he was up so early, Mario tells him about the abandoned house and teases his brother a bit about his fear of ghosts. Mario then tells his brother that he plans to go to the mansion by himself, much to Luigi's shock. Despite Luigi's attempts to make Mario reconsider, the red plumber is firm on his decision and he tells Luigi that he already told the princess no.)(Ailce /mailce ALIASES Lady Alice RELATIVES Evie (Mother) Isaac (step-father) Riba (Husband) Serina (Daughter) Anna (step-daughter) Mercy (Adopted sister) Leo (adoptive Nephew) Rae (adoptive Niece) Mario (adoptive father, Omitted Memory ending) AFFILIATION Mario (Vessel) BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION STATUS Deceased Reborn (Omitted Memory) PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AGE 28 SPECIES Human (Spirit) GENDER Female ORIENTATION Unknown EYE COLOR Green PLACE OF BIRTH Unknown LESS Trigger Warning: This article or section has mature content, such as: Violence, Discrimination, Murder, Blood view at your own risk.

-Alice to Alfred in the imaginary door.

Alice Aduraice is the main antagonist of (Mario) The Music Box and (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-. She possesses Mario Appearance

Alice is a slim and well-endowed 28-year-old woman (at least at the time of her death) with dirty blonde hair, green eyes, a blue column-off-the-shoulder dress, and blue high heels. As an entity, she has pale skin and black sclera with glowing green eyes.

ADVERTISEMENT Personality

Alice is introduced as malicious and megalomaniacal being to the extreme, going to great lengths to continue her massacre from long ago and resorting to all methods possible to do so such as stealing control of Mario's body. Over time, she is shown and described to be very extroverted and judgmental, unafraid and quite ready to voice her rock bottom opinion of others no matter who it is including other powerful beings such as Aurora, Marchionne, and her ex-husband Riba. She also displays nigh-unparalleled confidence in herself, possessing the belief that she is guaranteed to succeed in her goals against all others, although she is capable of recognizing when she is in real danger. Being selfish, turbulent, and hysterical as well to a fault, she often gives in to fits when things do not go her way and displays total disregard for the welfare of others en route to achieving her goal as seen with both Mario Brothers. Lastly, she possesses a strong sadistic streak and love of violence, relishing in being called a cold-blooded killer and taking strong pleasure in causing pain to others whether physical or psychological.

Exploring the ARC Expansion of (Mario) the Music Box, Alice is also given a misogynistic angle, revealed to be due to her abusive mother's treatment of her in her childhood. This misogyny has festered into a strong and hostile mistrust towards other women, particularly manifesting as murderous envy towards Riba's first wife, Elizabeth, when she learned of their relationship. Indeed, other interactions she has concerning other women are dismissive at best as seen when openly disparaging Rosa following the latter's suicide to Alfred's face.

Though she is oftentimes in the throes of hysteria, she is nonetheless highly attentive to who is responsible for the misfortunes that occur around her and is extremely indignant when anyone attempts to blame her for them. For example, in the insane route of Arc, when Mario loses his sanity, kills Luigi, and believes that it is Alice's doing, she objects and points out that she did absolutely nothing and continued to say that Luigi's death was solely Mario's fault. Another example is when Marchionne tells Mario that he blames his misfortunes on Alice and that Mario should do the same. Using Mario's body, Alice objects Marchionne and argues that he is the one at fault, stating that his selfishness and cruel indifference made her life a living hell. She then continues by pointing out that although Marchionne blames her for Luciano's death, he was the very person who betrayed and killed him.

Alice2 Alice, using Mario, cuts back at Marchionne's words. As seen throughout the game and in the trial of Wrath from the insane route of Arc, Alice is a vengeful ghost and filled to the brim with rage. Her anger for all the misfortunes inflicted upon her is so potent that Anna had to seal her away, claiming that if she were to go free, her wrath would destroy the entire world. Marchionne later claims this as well in the trail of Pride when Mario and Alice confront him. She hates Riba for the mental suffering he inflicted upon her, which is shown in the numerous death scenes where she kills him in the main game and in Arc. She also shows how much she loathes her mother, Evie, claiming that it's because of her that she holds a rather negative outlook on the world.

Alice is so malicious and immoral that her mere presence alone can scare away hostile ghosts. This is shown at the beginning of Arc in the Insane Route, where she scares away both the bathroom spirit as well as the random spirit inside of the treasure chest room (which only happens if the player lets the time run out). However, her aura does not have any effect on the hostile spirits haunting Evangeline.

Alice Alice preparing to murder Elizabeth. Prior to becoming a spirit, Alice was shown to be infatuated with Riba to the point of being completely obsessed with and dependent upon him. Even as a young girl, she wanted to grow up and marry him. Upon learning that he was married to Elizabeth and had a child named Anna, Alice became enraged. She was heartbroken and greatly upset at Riba betraying her. Envious and vengeful, Alice confronts Elizabeth and retaliates by killing her and burning down Riba's house. As the house starts to burn, Alice sees Riba's and Elizabeth's child, Anna, whom she hated upon sight and planned to let her die. Anna's existence only worsened Alice's feeling of betrayal. However, when Alice heard Riba come to see the burning house, she decided to save Anna, knowing that if she chooses not to spare her, Riba will become suspicious, which will not only ruin her chances of marrying him but will also put her in trouble with the law. Alice's love for Riba may also make her subconsciously and erroneously believe that either she is entitled to Riba, or believe that she was always in a romantic relationship with him. This is shown when Alice firmly believes that Riba cheated on her despite the fact that they never had an official romantic relationship prior to Riba marrying Elizabeth. Even Riba, who after logically explaining how he never cheated and still failing to change Alice's mind, comments, "There's really no way to get this through to you..."

Despite Alice's flaws, she proves herself to not be inherently evil. Excluding Evie, she has shown to greatly care about her family, especially her father, even though he was not her biological father. Although Anna was her adopted child, she grew to care about and love her prior to Serena's birth. However, when Alice contracted a serious disease, she became determined not to die. This desperation, along with Riba taking advantage of it, plunged her into madness and drove her to killing her entire family. Alice has shown that, despite her affection for her loved ones, she, like most humans, prioritizes her survival over everything and almost everyone else in the end.

Upon learning that Riba manipulated her to kill her family, Alice became livid and casted a curse upon him, making it so that Riba cannot ever leave the mansion (unless either Alice lifts the curse herself or Alice's spirit passes on). She promises to make Riba understand her pain and to do everything in her power to hurt him.

Despite being a vengeful spirit full of rage, Alice also has expressed sincere guilt and sadness for her sins and the outcome of her life. Before Riba murders her, she thinks about everyone she's killed or lost (including Anna). On the rooftop, Alice appears in the form of Mario and talks to Luigi, telling him about how her zealous affection for Riba destroyed her and even encouraging Luigi to not make the same mistakes that she did. Her sorrow is further expressed in the True Ending as well as in the Hallway of Pride during the Continuance 4 ending, where Alice says that all she wanted was to live again and desired to not be alone anymore. In the Continuance 4 ending, in the Hallway of Pride, where Riba expresses guilt for making her suffer, she tearfully confesses that she wishes they could go back and start over, showing that she has finally forgiven him weapon, knife)(riba ALIASES Riba Aduraice The Executioner Alice's lapdog RELATIVES Elizabeth (first wife) Alice (second wife) Serina (daughter) Anna (daughter) Evie (mother-in-law) Isaac (stepfather-in-law/adoptive father-in-law) Mercy (adoptive sister-in-law) Rae (adoptive niece) Leo (adoptive nephew) Grace (younger sister) AFFILIATION Mario (Companion, Love Interest (Continuance 3/Delirium) Marchionne (Former Overseer) Evangeline (Place) BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION STATUS Alive (Immortal) PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AGE Ageless SPECIES Human (formerly) Demon GENDER Male ORIENTATION Bisexual EYE COLOR Gray PLACE OF BIRTH Unknown Riba is a man who looks to be in his mid 20's. He has dirty blonde hair, light skin, and gray eyes. In the original game, his eyes had white highlights, but starting from ARC, his eyes now lack the highlights to depict his "soulless" personality. He wears a pair of glasses, and a brown business-like suit with a red tie. He has pointy ears, which he covers with his hair to hide the truth that he is a demon. Riba can be described as a calm and serious individual compared to Mario and Luigi. He doesn't show too much fear despite the situation. For example, he is capable of navigating through the halls without a need for a light source, even though it leaves him vulnerable. In some cases, he also seems to be somewhat afraid of Alice, which hints about the nature of his relationship with her. When being pursued by her, he will try his best to avoid any contact with Alice, such as locking doors or hiding, even though he can overpower the body she's possessing. Riba seems to greatly dislike human beings, which hints that he is not human himself. The reasons are currently unknown, but it could be because he either simply can't relate to one or he had a negative experience in his past involving them.

Riba's personality varies depending on the route chosen. In the True/Normal ending route, he is shown to be sadistic. His sadist side has mostly been shone towards Alice during the time she was going through an incurable disease. He offered her a chance at immortality in exchange for her entire family being sacrificed. This, however, was a lie, as he watched Alice murder her family members one-by-one in amusement.

In -ARC-, a little more of his personality is explained. Riba hides his true personality under his calm persona. He's an expert of false truth and will silence anyone that comes close to finding out the truth to be revealed should they be close to a conclusion, and remove the evidence. Much of this is shown in the Sane route where he is psychotic towards Mario and Luigi when he finally sees them.

He attempts to kill them then and there. In the Sane Route, his hatred towards Alice is shown, which is why he will do anything in his power to kill her and Mario in order to end this investigation. This point is proven in the Insane route where it is revealed that Riba was the one who locked the door once Mario had entered the gas room.

At his absolute worst, Riba will become so crazy and psychotic to the point of not even caring about his own well-being, as shown when he set the entire church on fire and having no regard for possibly setting himself on fire.

But in the Insane Route, Riba actually helps Mario, because he is somewhat worried for him. Mario strikes him down after getting out of the gas room but meets him later. Some time into the gameplay, Riba saves Mario from his attempted suicide, then instantly kills Aurora to rescue Mario and wake him from an unreal dream later in the gameplay. Most of the time, Riba's personality remains unchanged when he kills Mario after the game (Ie. continuance 1 and 2). If Mario gives him an apple, he will appear more docile.

As implied in the Insane route, Riba represents the sin of greed, only caring about himself and just using other people. He pretended to be friends with Marchionne and act nice to him and his family, only to ultimately betray them and kill them off. Riba will even do the same for anyone else that is no longer useful to him, as shown with Alice and Mario in some cases.

Riba has also shown to be utterly cruel, taking great pleasure in others pain and misery. An example of this is shown when he smiles and mocks Marchionne the night before his execution and reveals that he unintentionally killed his parents, or how he taunts Mario after killing Luigi right in front of him.

Despite all that he's done, Riba did legitimately care about and love his previous wife, Elizabeth. He was completely heartbroken when he found out she died. Upon Mario giving him Elizabeth's ribbon, Riba will explode in grief and anger, and immediately choke out Mario, thinking he's Alice. Riba also loved both of his daughters. Although it's implied in the main game that he favored Serina over Anna, he was angered when Alice killed her.

Machete–He may have brought his own weapon. The Truth Is Revealed

RibaMachete Riba is revealed to be the true antagonist. Beyond this point contains Spoilers. Read at your own cost!

It is confirmed that Riba's caring side was the result of memory loss due to his many deaths at the mansion. It is also revealed that Riba had been in a relationship with Alice in the past, which explains why she had some sort of connection with him throughout the course of the game.

When his true personality is revealed, he is a cruel and cold-hearted person who loved to see people suffer. In fact, Riba never even loved Alice to begin with, which explains why he was her sole target throughout the game. When Mario and Luigi discover an old family photo, Riba was in the picture. The house had been abandoned for decades, which meant that Riba wasn't human, due to looking the same throughout the timeline. When Riba met Alice in the past, the two had fallen in love and Riba had become a part of her family. Alice loved Riba dearly, but he didn't in return. He had a child named Serina, with Alice. Later at some point, she had an unknown disease that drastically shortened her lifespan (said disease is unknown). Alice was driven to insanity because she did not want to die at such a young age. When Riba discovered this, he used this as an advantage to make a deal with her. Alice was to sacrifice her whole family and anyone else that lived in her mansion so she could obtain immortality and live forever with Riba.

Much to his amusement, Riba had enjoyed watching as Alice slaughtered her entire family one-by-one. When the ritual was believed to be close to completion, with Serina supposedly being the final sacrifice, she was murdered by his daughter, Anna during that same time due to Anna's jealousy towards her taking its toll on her sanity, and buried her body near the abandoned mine shaft. When Alice found out, she became furious and killed Anna in cold blood. With Serina's corpse missing and Anna not being a suitable sacrifice due to her being an outsider to the family, Alice's ritual was incomplete.

Her skull was then bashed in with a crowbar at the hands of her lifelong lover as soon as she discovered Riba's true intentions. This led to her spirit haunting the halls of the mansion, waiting to get her revenge on him someday. However, she had already cursed the mansion before her death, trapping Riba within the mansion. He had seemingly forgotten Alice's true intentions by the time Mario and Luigi had came by to investigate.

When Mario was possessed by Alice's spirit, Riba used this as an advantage to make him into a sacrificial host for her. When Mario read Anna's note, he was close to uncovering the mystery behind the mansion, before Riba snatches the note and tears it to shreds. To gain Alice's trust again, he continued on with her wishes by trying to complete the ritual so she could be with him forever before possibly turning against her once again. However, Alice ends up betraying Riba during the ritual and slits his throat. Though, she literally stabs him in the back in the remastered version.)(luigi.

To find Mario... and bring him home. Luigi is slightly taller and thinner than Mario. And, as a twin, His choice of clothing is similar to his brother's with his hat and shirt being the exact opposite color (green instead of red), to distinguish himself from Mario. His hat has his trademark L labeled on it to represent his name. While Luigi has blue eyes like Mario, ARC revealed that he actually had green eyes and his blue eyes were due to contact lens. In the Revamped, Mario also revealed that Luigi hated his green eyes and wanted to have the same eyes as him. Since (Mario) The Music Box shifts away from the Mario Universe, Luigi is given some development on his character, while retaining some of his based on his actual in the Mario series.

Unlike Mario's brave and heroic personality, Luigi is the exact opposite, being easily frightened and afraid. He is most uncomfortable around ghosts. Despite being afraid of most things, Luigi tends to have the courage to overcome his fears and confront things he does not expect, but despite that he is just as optimistic and cheerful as his brother Luigi also is quite fond of plants, as shown when he examines one of them, he will comment that Mario dislikes them, but that doesn't mean that he (Luigi himself) can't. Luigi is also cautious about the choices he is about to make and knows never to look back when he escapes danger.

Luigi cares deeply for his brother, taking it upon himself to face through obstacles that may put his life at risk. It is possible that he had received information from Princess Peach on Mario's whereabouts, and knew where Mario had gone, which could explain why he was able to find out about the mansion in the first place. He believes Mario is important to the Mushroom Kingdom more than he does for himself, believing that he's only a mere shadow to his older brother, while everyone sees Mario as a true hero. He would do anything he can to bring his brother home in one peace.

Luigi is unaware of Mario's behavior, and Alice's control over him. He does some suspicion over Mario the fact that he seems to be hiding something from him, but Luigi tends to shrug it off. Unlike his brother, Luigi doesn't care about uncovering the truth. His sole purpose was to find Mario and bring him home. Much of this is shown when during some parts of the game when Mario makes choices on what to do. Luigi becomes concerned on almost every choice Mario makes and suggests he investigate no more so they can leave the house immediately. Sometimes his suggestions can even save Mario from being killed, as shown in a scene where he stops Mario from reading a diary page in the original game. He immediately tells Mario to place the diary back where it was found; if Luigi was not in the party by this point, Mario will read the diary and be devoured by spirits of unknown children, resulting in a game over. Because Mario's purpose for coming to the mansion in the first place was to uncover the truth, Mario does not intend to leave until his goal has been accomplished, leaving Luigi to put up with Mario's actions as long as the two make it out alive, and because Mario is the older brother, he seems to have a higher authority between the two.

It is shown that Luigi is heavily jealous of and envious of Mario due to him being very famous across the Kingdom, and he constantly feels that he's always left behind and buried in his shadow. This is further shown and expressed in the Insane Route of Arc as Envy takes the form of Luigi when dealing with Mario.

Luigi isn't as forgiving as Mario is, and in the True Ending of the original game, he questions Mario's decision on choosing to set Alice free despite the many horrible things she did. In Mario the Music Box Arc's Sane Route, despite coming in to the mansion with the determination to bring his brother out alive, Luigi will knock Mario down and tell him that he's cursed to die here due to the spirit possessing him, and he will abandon him to attempt to leave. In the Revamped version however, Luigi abandons Mario out of belief that his brother was not real because he kept ignoring him when he says they should go back home, though at this point, he already met Luciano's spirit, who was starting to plant the seeds of doubt through his desire of revenge towards his brother Marchionne by trying to pit Luigi against Mario, who he doesn't recognize as a separate person from Marchionne.

Later on, when Mario and Luigi try to escape after Riba dies, Luigi will betray and fatally stab Mario in the back to ensure Alice doesn't get free. )(Marchionne ALIASES The Witch of Rebirth RELATIVES Luciano (Brother) Mr. Evangelisti (Father) Mrs. Evangelisti (Mother) Luciano's Son (Nephew) AFFILIATION Evangeline (Place) Bad Omen (Curse) Riba (Former protégé/caretaker) Aurora (maid) Len (Overseer) Mario (Reincarnation) BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION STATUS Deceased Alive (Continuance 4) PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AGE Unknown SPECIES Human (Formerly) Witch

GENDER Male ORIENTATION AroAce EYE COLOR Blue PLACE OF BIRTH Unknown Appearance

Marchionne has a similar appearance to Mario, as he has the same mustache, hairstyle, hair color, body type and eye color as him. Unlike Mario, he wears a black suit and a black tie with a white shirt, doesn't have a hat on and is rarely seen in any other clothing. He often has a stoic expression on his face. His appearence was relatively unchanged in the Revamped version, though he now also wears a golden brooch shaped like a cross on his shirt The route you choose greatly affects how Marchionne treats the player. In the Sane Route, Marchionne becomes Mario's ally, and often assists him. For example, he comes to Mario's aid when Luigi attempts to kill him. However, in the Insane Route, Marchionne is shown to be cold and callous towards Mario, since he is disappointed to see his reincarnation give in to Alice's influence, and especially disappointed to see him repeat his role in killing his brother. He makes several attempts to kill Mario during the game.

During his life, he was often the complete opposite of his reincarnation: anxious, depressed, scared, and stern. Despite his outwardly cold nature, however, Marchionne cares deeply for the people close to him. In particular he cares greatly about his brother, to the extent of giving him a pocket watch that was a family treasure and originally belonged to his great-grandfather. Even as Luciano insisted he wasn't part of Marchionne's family, Marchionne always accepted him. Marchionne also cared greatly about Riba, particularly after he saved his life from a witch attack. Riba's friendship was one he valued immensely, due to his role as his sole companion for much of his life. Discovering Riba's ulterior motives and losing his supposed friendship hurt him deeply enough for him to attempt suicide.

Marchionne is very religious and believes in the word of God. He greatly despises non-believers and devil worshipers, including witches. This hatred motivates him to execute those he considers in opposition to his religious beliefs, regardless of their true guilt. However, he is not merciless, as he was willing to spare the witch Misery's life and hire her as his maid when she confessed that she never wanted to be a witch. His religious beliefs also damaged his relationship with Luciano, as he turns on him after discovering he had a son out of wedlock, which he considers a sin. Furthermore, when Marchionne spoke to Luciano the evening before his execution, he expressed disappointment in his brother for admitting that he didn't believe in God anymore because of how miserable his life turned out.

Marchionne's greatest weakness is how he deals with the dilemma of choosing between his loved ones or his responsibilities as town leader. He strongly believed that he was the only one capable of maintaining order in Evangeline, since his family founded the village. As a result, in most instances he chooses to value his responsibility to the town above all else. His commitment to the town is what led him to use Luciano as a scapegoat in the hopes of saving his own reputation and returning to his duties.

Even after years of being stuck as Len's puppet, Marchionne's love for the people close to him never faded. He still greatly cares for his brother, and this can be shown when he saves Mario from Luigi, as he doesn't use any magical abilities and instead sticks to physically holding him down to avoid hurting him.

ADVERTISEMENT History

Marchionne spent his childhood in solitude, locked inside and forced to read books. Every day he longed to go outside and play with the other children and make friends, but this was disallowed by his parents who feared he'd be recognized as Luciano's twin. He only encountered Luciano during childhood once, very briefly, which only served to further worry his parents.

As a young adult, he was put under the care of Riba, much to his dismay. Despite not wanting to be "babysat" by Riba initially, Marchionne eventually grew to view Riba as a close friend. Riba gifted Marchionne his cleaver. One day, while the two were out, the witch Dorothy attempted to assassinate Marchionne. Marchionne survived, thanks to Riba protecting him, and the encounter only strengthened Marchionne's prejudice towards witches.

During one witch hunt, Marchionne met a witch named Misery, who he spared and hired as his maid. In order to hide her origins as a witch, Marchionne gave her the name Aurora. Aurora eventually grew to love Marchionne, and while he cared for her deeply, he never reciprocated her romantic interest.

Marchionne eventually reconnected with Luciano when the two were adults. They developed a close bond, and Luciano allowed Marchionne to experience the things his sheltered childhood had denied him. While Luciano struggled to see himself as part of Marchionne's family, Marchionne accepted him wholeheartedly as an Evangelisti. To show Luciano that he belonged, Marchionne gifted him the Evangelisti heirloom pocket watch.

At some point, Marchionne evicted Isaac, Evie, and their daughter Alice from their home. Alice developed a bitter hatred towards Marchionne as a result and began plotting to get her revenge. She eventually discovers Marchionne's secret and tells Riba, who exposes it to the entire town so they'll turn on Marchionne.

Marchionne and Luciano's relationship was deeply strained upon discovering Luciano produced a child with Paisley before they were married. Marchionne grew furious and demanded his brother to leave, saying it was a sin to produce a bastard child. So strained, in fact, that when Luciano attempts to warn him that their secret's been revealed, Marchionne refuses to listen. Marchionne was knocked out after falling down a staircase, and, desperate to save his brother, Luciano attempted to escape with him while he's unconcious. Unfortunately the two were found, and upon waking up, Marchionne proclaims that Luciano was never really his brother, but a witch fooling them all with a spell. He sends Luciano to be burned at the stake, hoping it will put him back in the town's favor. Ultimately, this attempt fails, and Riba has Marchionne executed via guillotine for his many wrongdoings.

Leading up to his execution, Marchionne was overcome with guilt and grief over causing the death of his brother. Prior to his execution, he was approached by Len. Len gave him a brooch, telling him it would grant him one wish, in exchange for becoming a test subject for her studies of human nature. Despite knowing the use of magic would make him a witch, Marchionne accepts, becoming the Witch of Rebirth, and allowing himself, Luciano, and Aurora to be reincarnated as Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach.

In the Insane Route, when Mario arrives in the ruins of Evangeline, Marchionne repeatedly torments him. He's enraged at his reincarnation for giving in to Alice, as well as for killing Luigi, as he's essentially repeated what he did to Luciano all those years ago. He forces Mario to face his sins through the Sin Trials, then faces off against him in the final boss battle.

In the Continuance 4 ending, he takes over Mario's body following Mario's defeat by Len, and goes on to live a new life.

In the Sane Route, Marchionne's role is greatly reduced, aiding Mario as he explores Evangeline. He also reunites with Luciano, admitting his wrongdoings and apologizing profusely. Luciano accepts his apology, and their spirits are finally able to rest.

Cleaver–That weapon was given to him by Riba, but he has a hard time even carrying it, with Riba promising him to help train him and teach him how to use this weapon. After that, he will come with this weapon and use it.) 🖤Len🖤 Len Alwenia Foska, known as the Cheshire Cat in Wonderland, is the overarching antagonist of (Mario) The Music Box. She appears in both (Mario) The Music Box Remastered and (Mario) The Music Box: ARC and serves as both an enemy and an ally depending on how you play the game. She is a witch and the creator of Marchionne's Brooch, Aurora's necklace, Helena's ring, and the music box. Her origins are unknown, but due to her magical powers that can range from wish-granting to reality alteration, it is likely that she is some sort of divine entity, if not God herself. Marchionne even suggests this as a possibility in the Continuance #4 Ending. She can turn into the form of a cat, and it is revealed at one point in the Insane Route that she was one of the original cursed twins, probably with the other twin being Layla. Len's appearance differs between her different forms. As a human, she has white hair and white skin, and resembles a young girl, though she is much older than she seems. In her cat form, she has black fur. One striking similarity between the two forms is that she has different colored eyes, one is blue and the other is yellow. In her Wonderland version, she is a mix between both her human and cat forms. She does not have her hooded coat, which reveals white hair that has been tinted blue at the edges and a pair of blue cat ears. Whether she also has these ears under her hood in the main game or whether said ears are real and not artificial are currently unknown. She now wears a blue dress. She also has a gold earring with a long chain and a piece of jewelry at the end on her left cat ear. In Wonderland, she also seems to take on a vaguely more adult-like form. Since she rarely appears in the games and there is scarcely any information given regarding her past, Len is one of the more enigmatic characters in the game. She always wears a stoic expression on her face and rarely expresses her emotions, if at all, which only add to her mysterious aura. It is hinted that Len may look down on humans, as she once questions how the residents of Evangeline are foolish enough to believe that Marchionne's death would be beneficial to them. While Len may not be necessarily cruel, she, however, does not show compassion towards humans, as she had no qualms with sending Mario to what seems like Purgatory. She only perceives humans as simply objects that assist her in her research in human behavior. She may even sometimes see humans as toys, since she revives Mario after he dies in her boss battle simply because she thought his death was "boring" or "disappointing." Len may also be slightly pessimistic, as she states that hope is for fools. In Wonderland, she still maintains her goal to complete her research, but her personality has now changed noticeably. Instead of constantly wearing an expressionless face, she now has a more varied set of expressions, her most commonly seen expression being a sly smile. Len is shown to have a more sadistic personality, since she likes to watch the pointless suffering created from political feuds and smiles when she kills Sündige Nacht and manipulates Mario to wish for power, leading to his downfall. She also once removed Mario's voice and smiled cruelly, knowing fully well that it would put him in danger. She also states that she will relish every moment of Mario's repeated suffering in Wonderland. Thus, in a sense, Len's personality has become somewhat similar to Riba's initially cruel personality. Len has now been given new quirks as well. Len has no interest in political matters even though she has vast influence and power by just simply possessing the diamond suit. Len also prefers to avoid questions and is easily annoyed by them, to the point where she simply took away Mario's voice in order for him to stop pestering her. Len appears in (Mario) The Music Box Remastered as her cat form and serves as a way to block Mario from traveling up the stairs in the mansion at different points in the game. At first when Mario interacts with her, she only acts like a cat, but after Mario interacts with her enough times, she begins to speak. Mario can then do one of four things: ask her who she is, what she is, say nothing, or ask about the experiment. The first two listed options returns a one dialog box response that does not truly answer the question asked, and the third option returns nothing. The fourth option however, results in Len asking if Mario really wants to know about the experiment. If he answers yes, Len will kill him, stating how he is no longer needed and that she prefers her "subjects to be ignorant of the truth". In (Mario) The Music Box: ARC, Len's first appearance in the Insane Route is when you leave the Evangelisti's home after getting the Brooch Fragment hidden there. She assumes her cat form, and Mario notices that she has one of the Brooch Fragments in her mouth. She runs from him, and he gives chase. He follows her through the Silent Forest, and meets her again in the basement of the Unknown Residence that Riba is in in the 2nd District of Evangeline, where you can exchange the Dead Fish Mario found at the Memorial for the Brooch Fragment. Mario meets Len once again in the Old Aduraice Home when Marchionne takes Mario's spirit from his body in hopes to make him fade away. After finding the False Book on the second floor, she will appear in cat form once again and send Mario back to his body. After this, if you read the note Alice was looking at before the ordeal, it will trigger a flashback to Riba and Alice's wedding, where they receive the Music Box as a present from Len, who both of them do not know. If the player does not kill Riba after talking to him, showing the Green Headband and giving him the apple, Len will appear near the end, freezing time. She will assume her human form and reveal how she met Marchionne and gave him the Brooch that allowed him to be reborn as Mario. In exchange for him being reborn, he became her test subject, for the purpose of studying human behavior. She also tells Mario how she witnessed Marchionne's execution. She says how every time you load a save, you create a new iteration of Mario and the world around him. After this, Mario will break down and realize that this entire ordeal had nothing to do with Alice or the Music Box being cursed, and commences Len's boss battle. If the player decides to play through the game without saving once, Len appears in the Star Ending in her cat form, presumably because she is the one who restored Mario's old life. She says that since Mario decided to not save, it means that Mario does not rely on the saving system Len provided for him and thus does not need Len anymore to save him. By not using the saving system, Mario is free from the cycle Len put him in, and thus, Len does not need him anymore. Mario, back in his old life, is now able to live with freedom. In Wonderland, it seems that the letters Mario finds on the ground are written by Len, since the tone they are all written in aligns with Len's personality. Len then personally appears immediately after Mario activates the bridge. She disappears, then reappears later when Mario is captured and put in prison by the Queen of Hearts. After explaining to Mario how he can escape Wonderland, Mario continues to give her questions. Annoyed, she decides to take away Mario's voice so that he will not be able to bother her anymore. If Mario does not find his voice in time and is executed, Len will appear behind Sündige Nacht, who is lamenting about not being able to save Mario sooner. Len says that Sündige Nacht's efforts to save Mario and escape Wonderland are futile. Sündige Nacht is indignant, and says he only ever wanted to be reincarnated in his old world and not Wonderland. Len then kills him, saying that since Mario is deceased he is no longer needed. If Mario finds his voice and survives to defeat Sündige Nacht, Len will appear behind Mario. Mario, seemingly oblivious to her presence, is manipulated by Len into wishing for power instead of wishing to return home. Len smiles, thinking about how Mario still fails to break the cycle of suffering within Wonderland that he wanted to be so desperately free from. She wonders when one of the various iterations of Mario will come and finally break the cycle. She dismisses the thought, and says that she will relish in Mario's pain until the very end. For more information on these two endings from Wonderland, go to the Murder and Corruption endings on the page Endings. 🤍Layla🤍 Layla is a white cat appearing in Mario The Music Box remastered version. She first appears at the end of the extended demo, talking to Riba in his head and giving him advice to help Mario despite Riba's reluctance to talk to her. After Mario gets possessed by Alice, he goes into panic, but Riba calms Mario down by talking to him and then gives him a hug before he falls asleep. After Riba reads a ritual book about how to obtain immortality, Layla appears and greets him. Riba realizes that she is the voice that was in his head and asks who she is; Layla gives Riba her name and tells him that she is his guardian angel to which Riba coldly tells her that he doesn't need an angel. Riba then tells her to leave him alone and get out of his head, but Layla replies that he, in fact, does needs her because it was only through her that Riba was able to save a life, and she adds that she is glad that Riba helped Mario. Layla then asks Riba what he will do next to which Riba says he will do nothing and simply wait. Layla then reveals to Riba that he will die today. After that, the demo ends. In the secret scene of the Better Off Lost ending, Layla interrupts Riba's celebration of freedom after Alice passed on. She then traps Riba by bringing him to the forgotten town of Evangeline, and tells him that the people he hurt, including Marchionne, Luciano, and Misery, are disappointed and angry at him, as they get ready to kill him. The scene ends with Layla telling Riba to run away like a coward. Layla has a similar appearance to Len's cat form, although she is not black, but white, and her eye coloring mirrors Len's. Her human form is shown to be also similar in appearance to Len's human form, the differences being that she has black hair instead of white, with her eye coloring remaining the same as her cat form. Layla, like Len, can willingly switch between her cat and human form. Not much is known about her now, but it is suggested that Layla is Len's twin (since Len was one of the cursed twins). If this would be right, Layla would most likely be the twin with great power, while Len would the twin with great misfortune. Mercy Mercy is a character from (Mario) The Music Box. She is the mother of Leo and Rae, the younger adoptive sister of Alice, and one of the victims who disappear inside the Mansion before Mario's investigation. Mercy is initially hinted to be sadistic, since she giggles before chasing Mario and attempting to inject him with a lethal substance. After Mario stops her, however, Mercy is clearly shown to be far from being cruel. Rather, like the other spirits in the Mansion, she is pained, angry, and generally melancholy, because of Alice. She holds a grudge against her sister because Alice killed her son and daughter. She also holds a grudge against the living because she believes they are selfish, just like Alice. These two grudges are shown when she hopes Mario will die, just so Alice cannot escape the Mansion. Before the Events, Mercy was living in the Mansion. She was killed by Alice along with her two children. It can be assumed that Mercy and Alice had a generally good relationship before Alice started acquiring sacrifices for the immortality ritual. After Alice killed Rae and Leo, Mercy was pained and greatly loathed her. Leo and Rae Rae and Leo are the kids of Mercy. Rae is one of the victims that was murdered within the mansion. Her corpse was placed in a box and thrown into frozen storage past the kitchen. Unable to move on to the afterlife, her spirit was bound to the mansion's curse and she resides in the frozen storage. Rae only makes her appearance when Mario steps into the freezer. She will lock him in and prevent him from escaping. A cutscene will play hearing Rae's words in calling Mario a useless worm before receiving a Game Over. Leo is a minor character in (Mario) The Music Box. He is the son of Mercy, the sister of Rae, and the adoptive nephew of Alice and Riba. He is included as one of the victims that were murdered during Alice's scheme. His name is hinted in one of the diary pages Mario reads that reviews on his death, as well as his mother and sister. Leo doesn't have a big role like a few NPCs who are encountered. It is discovered later in the game when he was killed, his corpse was placed in a toy box hidden somewhere in the mansion. It is possible that the corpse Luigi discovered inside a chest in one of the F2 Rooms when he begins his adventure for the first time, is, in fact, Leo's corpse. In Luigi's perspective, he was most likely beaten to death and probably mutilated because Luigi was unable to recognize the face of his corpse (the scene might've also been quite disturbing, explaining why the CG was focused from inside the chest's view towards Luigi). Before picking a key left on Leo's hand, he appears briefly behind Luigi and gives him a vision on how he was killed. Leo referred to his murderer as "auntie" as he was being beaten to death. This "auntie" is will later be revealed to be Alice. Aria Aria is a young girl and a pianist who owns the piano in the location of the room. She lived in the mansion with the residents of Alice.Aria can be encountered when Mario plays the piano. Like Serina, she didn't remember much of her death. She asked Mario to find the missing piano pieces so that she will give a key to the library. While Aria is playing the piano one day, the room was blacked out (Possibly by Alice) and she couldn't see anything. It was possibly believed that Alice killed her at that moment not remembering her death. In (Mario) The Music Box Remastered, in one of the notes Alice wrote that can be found in the chest in the room where Mario encountered the scissor girl, it is revealed that when Aria was playing the piano, Alice crushed her skull into the piano and took her incomplete music sheet so she wouldn't remember her death. Serina Serina is the daughter of Riba and Alice, and younger half-sister of Anna. She is one of the victims rumored to have disappeared in the mansion prior to the events before Mario's investigation. Her corpse can be discovered buried near the entrance to the Abandoned Mineshaft. Serina was a young blonde haired (which she inherited from Alice) girl closely resembling Riba. She has gray eyes, wears a blue bow behind her hair and a brown sweater. When discovered as a spirit, her eyes are blank like the others, her skin is ghostly pale, her ribbon is missing, and she's covered in dirt. As Good entity/Glitter form, her hair and eyes are shining gold. Serina was born after Riba and Alice were married. Alice showered her only biological daughter in affection, while abusing and neglecting Anna, her stepdaughter from Riba's previous marriage. Anna, confused at her mother's cruel treatment of her and jealous of the love given to her younger sister, began to resent Serina. One day, she invited Serina to play deep in the woods, by the mineshaft. There, Anna revealed her jealousy, which confused Serina, as she'd never seen her mother treat Anna poorly. Enraged, Anna beat Serina to death with a shovel in the hopes that being rid of her would lead to Alice showing her more affection. Years later, Mario and Luigi discover her corpse buried by the Abandoned Mineshaft. Having no memory of her death, Serina doesn't understand why her spirit still remains in this world. When Mario asks her about her ribbon lying next to her grave and why she isn't wearing it, Serina doesn't recall if it even belongs to her. Mario then aides her in recovering her memory, revealing she was murdered & buried alive by her sister Anna. Upon remembering her death, Serina is filled with grief and sorrow for her sister. She realizes the reason her spirit was unable to pass on was because she wasn't able to apologize to her sister for allowing her to be put through so much pain and suffering. Her final request to Mario was to tell her sister how sorry she has been before passing on to the afterlife. Anna Aduraice Anna Addington (Later Anna Aduraice after being "adopted" by Alice) is the daughter of Elizabeth and Riba, the stepdaughter of Alice, and as well as the older half-sister of Serina. She is one of the victims rumored to have disappeared in the mansion prior to the events before Mario's investigation. Her corpse can be discovered buried inside the Abandoned Mineshaft. Anna was a young red-haired girl with blue eyes (which she inherited from her biological mother Elizabeth), wearing a pink dress, with a white collar and a mini handkerchief-like cloth hanging from the middle of her chest. As an Evil entity, Her dress is red instead of pink, her eyes glow red, and her hair is darker than her regular appearance. As a Good entity/in her Glitter form, her hair and eyes are shining gold. Anna was born to Elizabeth and Riba. However, Alice, who was in love with Riba, hated that he loved another woman and saw his marriage to Elizabeth as "cheating." In her anger, she killed Elizabeth and burned her house to the ground, planning to allow the infant Anna to burn as well. However, when Riba returns, Alice reluctantly saved Anna from the flames, knowing Riba would never love her if he found out that she killed his wife and daughter. Once Alice married Riba, she initally acted as though loved Anna dearly, likely to appease her new husband. After she gave birth to Serina, she no longer saw reason to feign affection for Anna and began neglecting and abusing her. Anna, confused at her mother's cruel treatment of her and jealous of the love given to her younger sister, began to resent Serina. One day, she invited Serina to play deep in the woods, by the mineshaft. There, Anna revealed her jealousy, which confused Serina, as she'd never seen her mother treat Anna poorly. Enraged, Anna beat Serina to death with a shovel in the hopes that being rid of her would lead to Alice showing her more affection. When Anna returned to the mansion, Alice immediately asks where Serina has gone. Alice grew furious with her, saying she ruined everything and that she should have left her to die with her mother years ago. She then reveals to Anna that she was the one who killed her biological mother Elizabeth, and that she only saved her so that Riba wouldn't suspect anything. She also reveals that the real reason she gave more love and attention to Serina was that she planned to use her as a sacrifice for her ritual. Anna, horrified at Alice's plans, calls her a monster and begs for her to stay away. Alice retorts that Anna has no business calling her a monster when she killed her sister in cold blood, before killing her. Alice then buried Anna's body within the abandoned mineshaft. Anna quickly grew to regret what she'd done to Serina, realizing Alice's abuse had never been her fault. Seeing Alice kill off everyone who once lived in the mansion, she seals Alice inside of the Music Box so that she won't escape and harm anyone else. Anna appears in several places in the Garden area, in front of the big gravestone, and the ballroom. Mario finds diary entries written by Anna, revealing her backstory. After Mario and Luigi find Serina's body, they are able to help the two sisters reunite and make amends. Anna and Serina will then work together to re-seal Alice in the music box in the Better Off Lost ending. If Mario and Luigi help Anna, but don't bring the sisters together, Anna will attempt to seal Alice on her own, but she makes a mistake and seals only half of Alice and half of Mario, allowing Alice to take control once again in the Puppet ending. In the insane route, Anna appears in one of the rooms in the basement. Mario first hears Anna's footsteps as he enters a room, paranoid, Mario stabs her in the head, though it doesn't harm her at all. The player then has to choose to either Calm Down or Snap. Choosing snap will lead to Anna showing Mario a vision of Luigi asking why Mario killed him, causing a grief-stricken Mario to bang his head till his death. In the sane route, Anna's role is filled instead by a fake Princess Peach. In both Insane & Sane routes, Anna was helping Mario to get the key symbol in order to get through the mansion at the Underground sewer. The Sane route ending reveals she sealed Alice's spirit in the music box on Riba's orders. Beatrice (Scissor Girl): She is a hostile spirit who once acted as the "imaginary friend" of Anna. Beatrice is revealed to be the scissor girl in (Mario) The Music Box Remastered, as the previous version she was unnamed. Beatrice is a young girl in appearance with brown hair. She is wearing a blue and white colored dress, with circular shaped patterns similar to a flower's petals near her neck and arms. Her most noticeable physical trait is her seemingly empty eye sockets, when in reality she really has eyes but they are all dark colored as a mean to be unsettling for the player. She also had a different clothing attire in the previous version. Alfred and Emi Watchmaker EMI: She is the sister of Alfred. Alfred: Alfred is a neutral character in (Mario) The Music Box. He is the butler of Alice's family and one of the victims rumored to have disappear inside the mansion prior to Mario's investigation. He is first encountered when Luigi gave him a photo of Rosa. He explains what happens to him the others. He somehow afterward turns hostile to Luigi in the Omitted Memory ending for getting an engagement ring to Rosa, and when he comforts him.

She also has a pair of two hair bands matching the color of her shirt on both the sides of her hair. As a spirit, Rosa can possess another being and have commit whichever act she desires while doing so; she demonstrates this ability twice in two different game over scenarios in the base game should Luigi fail to appease her spirit, either beating Mario to death or hanging him. She more prominently possesses telekinetic powers that allow her to twist and move any objects she desires; she demonstrates this in a third game over sequence in the base game where, upon having Luigi failing to appease her spirit, she takes levitates Mario's body and painfully thrashes it around in the hallway and contorting its shape in unnatural ways all the while. She also displays this in the ARC Expansion's revamped demo where she replaces an anonymous spirit whose role was to similarly murder Mario in this fashion. Rosa's full appearance is only encountered during the Omitted Memory route. She is found in second floor in the room before the bathroom where Luigi first meets Alfred. Rosa provides information to Luigi that Alice's is the reason why the house had been cursed. Rosa remembers that Alice had fallen in love with a man she cannot remember, and they had a child together. Alice was planning to use her daughter as a sacrifice so she can live forever with her beloved husband. Her purpose for possessing Mario was to use him as living body so she could continue her ritual. After being questioned by Luigi on how he can save Mario, Rosa gives him her doubts that it's already too late. If Mario has already lost most control of his body, the only option is by killing him to prevent to Alice from escaping. She requests Luigi to help her remember the man who once loved her and gives him a ??? Key. After Luigi takes on her request and finds the following items, he presents her with an Engagement Ring and a Letter left by Alfred. Rosa is filled with joy that Alfred was going to propose to her at some point and that he even left an apology letter for her. In return, she thanks Luigi by rewarding him with a bottle of Holy Water that will dispel Alice's curse over Mario for the time being and happily passes on to the afterlife.

She would prefer to follow his every command just to make him happy. Riba and Elizabeth had a great relationship with each other, they were both rarely seen upset together and would always be lovey-dovey. Although she didn't know the existence of Alice, she was very afraid of her during the attack. She didn't get to be with Anna very long, but regardless she loved Anna dearly.

She is a mischievous witch who enjoys toying with others as seen when she interacts with Mario in routes where Riba is not his ally, and she has been shown with a sadistic streak which is best exemplified when she kills her targets of interest. She does not appear to think much of others whether it be a fellow witch who was slain (Aurora/Misery), her targets (Mario and/or Riba), or the cult she works for. She does express a particular interest in her status within said cult, targeting Riba for the sake of being worshipped as a god within her cult should she kill him.

It is a manifestation of the concept of envy that appears during the Sin Trials. Envy is a shapeshifting concept that exists "out of spite." It has no regard for humans and takes pleasure in psychologically tormenting those it comes across. It appears to those who go through the Sin Trials as whoever is most envious of them, though it's true form is a slimy, black, slug-like monster. When Mario goes through the Sin Trials, Envy appears taking the form of Luigi, with butcher elements in reference to Elizabeth as a means of tormenting Alice's spirit within Mario. Envy attempts to kill Mario through various means, but is ultimately defeated when Mario confesses his own jealously towards Luigi. Dorothy Dorothy is a young women who is a resident of Evangeline who resembles Daisy. She is considered a witch. Dorothy almost resembles her descendant to the ruler of Sarasaland, Daisy. With the same eye shape and hair. The only difference is that she had a darker skin with a serious look on her face. She is wearing a dark pink dress with wearing a ponytail on her hair.

Issac Aduraice Isaac Aduraice is the stepfather/adoptive father of Alice, adopted father of Mercy and husband of Evie. Isaac has dark brown hair with green eyes. He wears a light brown suit with a red tie. He was the owner of the mining company which originally built the abandoned mineshaft.Not much is known about Isaac only that loved his daughters dearly and was a rags to riches person. His wife, Evie, was drying out his money and cheating on him (which results in Alice not being his biological daughter, as Evie confessed in a note). At some point in the past, Isaac worked alongside Riba. When Alice began pursuing Riba, he disapproved of the relationship, fearing she would not be treated well by him. Evie Aduraice Evie Aduraice is an antagonist in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-. She is the mother of Alice and wife of Isaac. She appears only in the Test of Wrath. She is also responsible for causing her daughter's villainy. When she was alive, she had blonde hair (same as Alice has), a big ponytail with a black hair tie, blue eyes, dark blue dress, earrings and a necklace with a blue water drop-like gem. She had married Isaac Aduraice, but she was using all his money for herself and cheated on him multiple times (so Alice is not his biological daughter). She always hated Alice, because she was begging for money and food and Evie didn't give her anything and Alice became a burden to her. When Alice grew up, she imprisoned Evie in a cell. Evie first didn't know why did Alice imprison her, but later she came and told her everything. After unknown period of time, Alice had a revenge and brutally killed Evie. She mutilated her face, cut her mouth open, gouged her eyes out and shoved them down the throat. Before Evie was imprisoned, she dried all of her husband's funds and stored them "somewhere, Alice will never find". After the mutilation, Evie is shown as a red spirit probably without a skin, with a big hole in her face, pink hair, massive hands, red shirt, black dress and three (or more) eyes with different colours on her forehead, neck and breasts (their origin is unknown). In the Test of Wrath, multiple spirits of Evie attempt to kill Alice/Mario, but she can't see him/her, because she hasn't got eyes. She also can't hear him/her unless he/she is making too much noise or opens a door out of the room. Even after her death, Alice is still bit worried about her, because she thought, that she got already rid of her. But she doesn't regret the murder, as she calls her a "vile, disgusting woman" and says that she "would gladly do it again". Vittoria Vittoria talking mask, and the Master of Drama. It is carried by an unknown girl with medium long blonde hair, light blue eyes without pupils visible and wearing red and white dress, who can't talk and is the mask's servant, so she must do everything the mask wants. The mask was made to keep it's creator in company, but it has (probably) killed it stabbing his throat. The mask is very violent, and describes it's victims' deaths as "beautiful". Vittoria is a white mask that covers half of it's host's face. It has a wide white smile with red lipstick, black and gold markings around it's eye, curly gold horns, and red feathers. Vittoria is encountered in an unknown residence in Evangeline in (Mario) The Music Box ARC, in which she attempts to kill Mario. If he manages to escape within 30 seconds and avoid all the traps in the hall, Vittoria will let him escape. Otherwise, Vittoria will kill Mario and stab him to death. Ted and Norma TED: Ted is a young girl who has risen as a benign blue spirit. Not much is known about her. She has long hair, wears a dress, and has a missing eye. She was likely a resident of Evangeline. Ted is said to be the older twin sister of Norma within concept art. How the two girls had died is currently not known, although given that they are same sex twins found near the districts of Evangeline, it is likely that they were killed to avoid having the bad omen affect the town of Evangeline. Unlike Norma, Ted is friendly to Mario and is very helpful to him. First, she places a mysterious plant near a tree for Mario to find it. This plant grants Mario the power to swim in poisoned water. She also saves Mario by preventing Norma from attacking him, saying to her that he found both of Norma's eyes. Norma then becomes a blue spirit. Later on, she meets Mario in another section of Evangeline. When Mario gives her bandages for her eye, she is pleasantly surprised and gives Mario two red herbs as a token of her gratitude. NORMA: Norma is a hostile eyeless spirit who haunts the Silent Forest after her death shown in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-, attacking humans who dare enter her vicinity which includes Mario during his trip to Evangeline. Her older twin sister is Ted as seen in concept artwork of the two (who herself is missing just one eye), possibly indicating that Ted and Norma were unfortunate victims of Evangeline's hatred against same-sex twins. As a spirit, she is shown to have long hair and wears a robe with a ribbon on it, although more specific details of her in-game are unknown due to her appearing as a hostile red spirit. Her most distinguishing feature is her lack of eyes. Once Norma's eyes are recovered by Mario, Norma attacks Mario, but Mario is narrowly saved by Ted who explains the situation to her younger twin. Ted places Norma's eyes back into her, and Norma transforms into a benign blue spirit just like her older twin. After this, Ted thanks Mario for retrieving Norma's eyes, and the two twin sisters depart. However, should Mario not have Norma's eyes and lose his health against her while traveling in the Silent Forest, Norma will pluck Mario's eyes out from him and insert them into her own empty sockets, satisfied with the eyes she had claimed from Mario; albeit remaining a red color (likely because they were not her own eyes) Toadson Toadston is a Toad who is a resident of the Mushroom Kingdom, and one of the Toads who works for Professor E. Gadd. Upon E. Gadd's request, he set out to explore a deserted town called Evangeline, where he was killed due to unknown circumstances (possibly spiders.) His soul is trapped in that town for eternity like other spirits that reside there. Like some Toad residents, Toadston is a yellow Toad who is the resident of the Mushroom Kingdom. He wears a light brown suit with a red tie and has a short mustache. He has blank eyes, possibly to depict how he felt empty after his soul is trapped for eternity. Toadston was a hopeless Toad who is trapped in the abandoned Evangeline almost an eternity. But he was considered helpful to Mario giving him contact lenses to see different sides of spirits with blue as good while the red is considered evil. He only helped Mario just to hope he'll survive so that he would tell his family that he is no longer here in the living world. TW9ub2Nocm9tZQ== (Monochrome) TW9ub2Nocm9tZQ== (Monochrome) is a boss who is only fought during the Valentine's Day update. Monochrome's appearance is a combination of traits from Marchionne's witch form and Len. Monochrome shares Marchionne's mustache, body type, and face, as well as Len's cat-like appearance, her tail, and most of her outfit. They are also wearing Marchionne's brooch and have Len's hands to serve as wings. All of their dialogue is encoded in base64. Monochrome serves as an Undertale inspired boss for (Mario)The Music Box -Arc-'s Valentines Day update. LOCATIONS: Evangeline:  Evangeline is the main setting of (Mario) the Music Box -ARC-. Centuries ago the town disappeared all together and became abandoned after all of his residents died which only their spirits remain around due to Marchionne's magic.Evangeline was a small town controlled by the deeply religious Evangelisti family. The people of Evangeline believed very strongly in the Bad Omen, leading to Birino and his wife Eva's panic after the birth of their twin sons, Marchionne and Luciano. As such, Luciano was handed off to the sister of William Watchmaker, and the two were exiled to avoid raising suspicion around Luciano's origin. Sometime during Marchionne's young adulthood, Birino hired Riba to watch over his son and aid in preparing him to take over his position as town leader. Over time, Marchionne and Riba developed an unsteady friendship, with Riba eventually gifting Marchionne his giant cleaver. One day, while the two were out, they were spotted by a witch, Misery, who fell deeply in love with Marchionne. When she told her cousin and close companion, Dorothy, about her newfound crush, however, the other witch was not pleased. Dorothy warned Misery that Marchionne and his family hated witches and would kill them without hesitation. Dorothy, fearing for Misery's life, attempted to kill Marchionne before he could harm her. Dorothy's attempt fails, and she's killed by Riba. This assassination attempt instilled a deep paranoia and hatred towards witches in Marchionne, driving him to become a fierce witch hunter. During a witch hunt, Marchionne once again encounters Misery, who pleads for her life. She tells Marchionne she never wanted to be a witch and that she wants to start a new life. Marchionne takes pity on her and allows her to live, hiring her as his maid and renaming her Aurora. Unbeknownst to Birino, Riba was plotting to take the position for himself, poisoning and killing Birino and Eva. He attempts to do the same to Marchionne, but Aurora uses her magic to heal him every time. At some point after becoming town leader, Marchionne reunites with Luciano, and the two quickly form a deep bond. When Marchionne discovers Riba was behind his parents' deaths and attempts suicide, it's Luciano who saves his life. Their relationship is strained when Luciano tells Marchionne about his life before returning to Evangeline and confesses to having had a child out of wedlock. Riba finally gets his chance to take down Marchionne thanks to a young Alice Aduraice, who, enraged at Marchionne for evicting her family from their home, tells Riba the town leader's deepest secret - he's a twin. Luciano gets word of their secret being revealed and attempts to escape with an unconcious Marchionne, but is caught. Marchionne awakens and upon realizing what's happened, proclaims that the rumor of him and Luciano being twins is a lie, hoping to save his own reputation. He accuses Luciano of being a witch and putting a curse on him to fool him into believing they were brothers. Luciano is burned at the stake for the accusation. Marchionne's attempt to save himself ultimately fails, and he's sent to the guillotine. Evidently, Evangeline survived for some years after the fall of the Evangelisti family, presumably under Riba's control. It is in Evangeline where Riba met and married his first wife, Elizabeth Addington, and where Elizabeth gave birth to her and Riba's daughter, Anna Addington. Alice, now an adult, fell madly in love with Riba and was enraged when she discovered his wife and daughter, percieving the relationship as Riba cheating on her. In a jealous rage, she stabs Elizabeth and burns her home, intending to leave baby Anna to burn in the fire. When Riba returns home earlier than expected, however, Alice rescues Anna to not arouse suspicion towards herself. The exact events leading to Evangeline's downfall and abandonment are unclear, though it is in a thoroughly decayed state by the time Mario (and in the Sane Route, Luigi) visit. A curse has been placed on the town causing all who died there to remain trapped within it's borders. Toadston is one such example, having been killed during an attempt to investigate the town's mysterious disappearance.

Sündige Nacht is an antagonist in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC- Wonderland Update. He is considered to be the true king of Wonderland. He has a crown, which grants one wish to those who get it.

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

Sündige Nacht's appearance is very unusual, since it is inspired by a fictional animal called wolpertinger, which appears in German mythology. He has two rabbit ears, two antlers, a pair of crow wings, a blue suit, and a red cloak. He has heterochromia (with his left eye blue and right eye yellow, exactly like Len's eyes). He carries all of the symbols (spade in his left eye and on his scythe, diamond in his right eye, heart on his left-hand sleeve, a club on his right-hand sleeve and these symbols all over this clothes The first time he is mentioned is in several notes left in the forests (most likely written by Len). Using the notes, it can be inferred that his real name was Marchionne. After Mario is executed by the Iron Maiden, Sündige Nacht comes to the courtroom only to find it empty. He was too late to save Mario. Sündige Nacht regrets not saving Mario sooner, since the former cannot escape Wonderland without the latter.

Len walks up to him and simply comments, "How sad." Then she questions why Sündige Nacht is not happy with the "perfect world" he created. Sündige Nacht indignantly responds to Len that he is obviously unhappy because she cursed him to live his life in a world he never wanted. She replies that Sündige Nacht would never escape even with Mario's help, and states that it's amusing for her to watch him pointlessly find a way to leave.

Len continues to state that his attempt to escape by faking his own death was the very thing that caused Mario to die. She says that interferance is useless, since no matter what he does, it will always lead to death. Sündige tells Len that he never wanted to be trapped in this world and states that he and everyone else do not deserve this kind of suffering.

Len then expressed mock sympathy and says that she should put him out of his misery. Then she impales him right through the chest. Sündige Nacht is shocked, and states that his death was never part of the deal, which indicates that at some point in time, Sündige Nacht or Marchionne made an agreement with Len. Len then says that the contract allows her to terminate the "experiment" as she pleases. Sündige Nacht then dies. Len gives his lifeless body an eerie smile, and mysteriously states that she will "see him soon," suggesting that Sündige Nacht will either be reincarnated or replaced by another Mario iteration.

ADVERTISEMENT Relationships

Mario

Initially seeming to care for Mario's safety, Sündige Nacht becomes his enemy when the former refuses to join the latter in his plans to defeat Len and escape, which can indicate that Sündige Nacht ultimately saw Mario as simply a tool to help him escape Wonderland.

Len Sündige Nacht loathes Len, since she is the very one who trapped him in Wonderland in the first place. He believes she is unjust since she is forcing him through an unnecessary vicious cycle of suffering.

As of 5/6/2019, the game's current version is 1.2. Due to many complaints about the difficulty with the button combination system during certain actions, as well as with a time limit, the current build has a new system where only the spacebar is required to be pressed rapidly to fill up a gauge and with the time limit being removed, making it easier to progress through the game. For more information of the game, see here.

Team Ari later announced an indirect sequel that takes place after (Mario) The Music Box. The sequel will have no connections to (Mario) The Music Box. Team Ari has later released (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-, which is an extension to (Mario) The Music Box that takes place during the "Missing Ending". As of 5/6/2019, the game's current is version 1.2. It was stated by Team Ari that since the Missing Ending was the easiest and shortest ending to achieve, -ARC- was to be created as a stand-alone extension.

PLOT\WHAT IS IT ABOUT:

Mario has heard rumors of a abandoned home that has been close to the Mushroom Kingdom over a century. That people who go inside it never come back. Mario and Princess Peach were supposed to investigate the strange place but Mario decided to go alone. Inside the home he finds a strange music box that was playing by itself. Little that he know that a "harmless" music box would of cause the home to try eat him alive.

Mario walks through a rainy road on his way to the mansion. He discovered that no one has ever told him exactly where the mansion was, and it was rumored to have been eating people alive. His purpose was not to investigate about the rumors, but find out what happened to the missing people.

When Mario enters the gates of the house, he must find something usable to pry the front door open. After entering the house, Mario will notice there is no sign of people and that the house has been abandoned. Upon inspecting the area, he notices only one room has a light open. Curious to find out some information, Mario heads toward that area and comes across a strange music box playing by itself. Wondering what its purpose was, Mario decides to take it with him on his journey. He then receives a message written in blood on the wall telling him to take the exit. Not understanding why, but when he decides to obey what the message has told him, he notices the front door has gone missing, leaving him to be trapped within the house. Mario now must find his way out before the house eats him alive.

As Mario investigates the house, he will come across diary pages written by residents of the house. Mario also comes equipped with a journal, in which, he writes a new entry after an event has occurred. The more diary pages he receives the closer he is to uncovering the truth behind the house.

Throughout the game, Mario is forced to go through dangerous situations he has never experienced before on his adventures. In order to progress, he has to take upon himself by searching through dark rooms with evil spirits lurking within, and making tough choices not to be consumed by those that pursue him.

The gameplay focuses heavily on exploration, puzzle-solving, and clue-gathering. You take control of Mario and search throughout various locations of the Mansion to find out the truth regarding the mansion. The player must be cautious when searching the mansion, due to the house having many places where they can be killed instantly (one of the more iconic traps being the fake painted door at the beginning of the game.)

LOCATIONS:

The main music box in Mario the Music Box is found early in the game within the abandoned mansion, specifically in a room down the hall from the top-left area of the foyer. Mario finds this haunted object after hearing it play by itself, which triggers the main events of the story.

The Mansion is the main location (Mario) The Music Box takes place. It is the home of Alice Aduraice, the main antagonist of the story, and the area where Mario investigates after hearing rumors from Princess Peach.

Abandoned Mineshaft:

Garden Area:

Initial Discovery: After using a crowbar to enter the mansion, head top-left in the foyer to locate the room with the music box. The Mansion: The entire game focuses on investigating the mansion rooms, as the box causes the structure to become a dangerous maze. Plot Significance: Mario takes the music box after a cutscene, which leads to receiving a map card and a lantern. Remastered/ARC: The story expands into areas like the Forest of Suicide and Wonderland, with multiple memory fragments to find, including one behind a wall in the east residence. The mansion was once a beautiful home inhabited by a rich family, with Alice being the current house owner. In it, was also employed by Alfred, the butler, and Rosa, the maid, who both took care of the residents and the household.

Present Time The mansion has been abandoned for over a century after an event had occurred within the family that caused all the residents to go missing. Its appearance now, is nothing but an abandoned house located deep within the woods. The front gates is constructed of metal, with two trees standing vertical to each other between the front gates. Within the gates, there's a fountain located in the middle, two statues built by the front steps, dead trees all over the front yard, along with tombstones. The Mansion is now inhabited by spirits of those who were once human that died living there. Their souls were unable to pass on to the afterlife and were trapped due to the mansion's curse. There are also spirits having no affiliation with the residents that lurk within the halls, possibly people who attempted to investigate the house but became victims that also went missing over the years. According to Riba, it is said that the mansion is known to shift rooms to different locations from time to time because of the curse. It explains why some doors that were suppose to lead to respective rooms, lead to a different location throughout the course of the game. CHARACTERS (IN THE RPG):

❤️Mario❤️

Mario is an Italian plumber with brown hair and black eyebrows. His hair have three front locks, four back locks and a small sprout-like tuft on the top of his head. His eyes, originally blue with black pupils, turn green when Alice possesses him(Be possessed sometimes eyes glowing green). He has a large round nose and a black mustache. His choice of clothing consist of red shirt, blue overalls with gold buttons on it, a red hat with his signified M labeled on it, brown shoes and a pair of white gloves. Though he's the oldest of the two, he's shorter in height compared to Luigi. In the Wonderland update in Mario the music box Arc, Mario's attire drastically changes. He wears a white shirt with a blue vest, and he dons a small red top hat on the corner of his head. Additionally, Mario's blue eyes also have spades in them. As (Mario) The Music Box shifts away from the Mario universe, Mario's personality is similar to an average protagonist in a typical RPG-Horror Game. In addition to his official universe's counterpart, he gains the ability to speak. He will comment on any object he examines, and give positive or negative thoughts about them. For example, if Mario examines a pot of plants, he will comment that he hates artificial plants. He is also shown to be uncomfortable around dolls, teddy bears, and mirrors, should he come in contact with them. Mario also fears the spirits that lurk inside the house, and is deeply concerned about the choices he makes. However, this does not mean all spirits since Mario can befriend those who aren't hostile towards him, even going out of his way to help them. Mario is shown to be very curious, choosing to come to the mansion just to figure out why so many people have disappeared and never came back from visiting the mansion. One strong aspect of Mario is he cares greatly for the well-being of both his brother and Peach. This is the reason why Mario chose to go to investigate the mansion alone, without them. A common trait of Mario seen throughout the series is he cares greatly about both of them, and losing either of them (whether in bad endings or death scenes) will make Mario fall apart mentally and emotionally. In the Insane Route of Mario the Music Box, he frequently expresses his guilt for killing both Princess Peach and Luigi.

Throughout Mario's life, he was stated to be a very well-known hero across the Mushroom Kingdom, and he demonstrates many characteristics of a hero. Mario shows bravery in the playthrough for the Omitted Memory ending when he fights Alice on his own after Luigi is knocked out and Riba is killed. Mario also shows to be full of hope and unwilling to give up, no matter how hopeless things seem. Regardless of numerous spirits through the main game and Arc, Alice, and even Marchionne telling him to give up and die, Mario will still persevere, refusing to give up. When Len questions why Mario continues to fight, he replies that hope is what drives him to live and to survive. Additionally, Mario is willing to risk his life for his loved ones and for the well-being of the world. In the main game, Mario will immediately run off to look for his brother without hesitation if Riba tells him Luigi came looking for him earlier. In the Omitted Memory ending, Mario sacrifices himself to save the Mushroom Kingdom from Alice's wrath. Mario is also shown to be compassionate and even forgiving to his enemies. For example, he forgives Anna for murdering her sister and also forgives Alice as well in the True Ending, understanding that she committed murders out of desperation and the fear of death. In Arc (in the Continuance 3 and 4 endings) Mario is even willing to forgive Riba for everything that he's done, coming to trust in him and believe that he's changed. However while Mario demonstrates the qualities of a hero, these traits have their limits. Although Mario shows bravery when dealing with situations, he does later on admit to Luigi that he is truly scared and terrified on the inside. This trait carries on in Arc, where he tells Envy the same thing, revealing that he acts brave, strong, and confident for others, while on the inside he is truly scared and afraid. Additionally, while Mario say he never gives up hope, there are times where he has become hopeless and chose to give up. When Marchionne taunts and goads Mario into hanging himself, Mario chooses to obey (though this does ironically save his life, as choosing to not give up would just lead Mario to his death). Furthermore, in the Drown ending, Mario becomes extremely hopeless knowing that everyone he's known is dead and gone. After being pestered by voices of the dead, he chooses to attempt suicide by drowning. While Mario generally shows the traits of a hero, Mario occasionally shows a much darker side of himself. In the Insane Route of Arc, Mario viciously attacks the silhouette figure of Luigi in blind rage, completely believing that the real Luigi is actually dead. This belief ends up later on leading him to unintentionally kill the real Luigi, also believing that he was a fake. When Mario is locked in the gas room, he will break out and immediately attack and kill the person that locked him in there, without hesitation (which turns out to be Riba). And furthermore, during the Insane Route, Mario has many options and chances to choose to betray and kill Riba. Mario also shows this dark side of him the Sane Route, during the Betrayal ending. After being betrayed and killed by Luigi, Mario will come back as a hostile ghost, angry that Luigi murdered him just as he was about to escape. Though Luigi explains himself and says sorry, Mario kills Luigi regardless.

Mario, while not anywhere as impressive as his official counterpart, has shown to be an extremely powerful force and much more impressive than a normal human. He's faced and overcame many of the dangerous spirits and entities in the game, including Alice, Riba, Marchionne, and even Len for a brief period of time (though it should be noted Len was holding back).

Superhuman Physique: Mario is much more physically capable than a regular human. He's demonstrated to be much physically stronger than a regular person, like when he fought and overpowered Alice on the rooftop of the mansion. He's also demonstrated impressive strength in the Insane Route of Arc, when he incapacitated Riba by catching him off guard and stabbing him repeatedly. He is somewhat faster than a normal human, and a good example of his speed is where he was forced to run through a long pathway away from Vittoria, while avoiding several different holes and traps, and escape, all within 30 seconds. He's also more agile than a human and able to leap and jump far distances, like he demonstrates in the Garden Area should the player chooses to attempt to jump over the pit (however this will lead to a game over since Mario grabs the ledge but slips off). He also shows to have much more endurance than a normal human, able to survive being stabbed right through the chest from Riba in the Sane Route, and can still even walk and move around after. Additionally, in some of his death scenes (among the main game, Arc, and Wonderland), Mario is even still able to stay conscious for a long period of time even despite receiving fatal injuries. An extreme example of this is shown in Wonderland, where Mario stays conscious for a brief moment after having a flower grow out of him; specifically the flower bloomed out of his eye while thorns were stabbing and growing through his entire body from the inside out.

Intellect and Quick Planning: Mario demonstrates to be quite intelligent in the game, being shown to solve numerous puzzles in the mansion and in Evangeline. As he walks around the house, finds clues, and takes notes in his journal, Mario eventually came to piece together the true story of what happened in the mansion. Mario is also a critical thinker when he's faced with confrontation and conflict, knowing whether to run or fight when dealing with spirits. Impressively, when in the midst of bad situations, he shows to be able to formulate quick plans, and even sometimes outsmart his opponents. There are many examples of this. After being attacked by Mercy, Mario immediately finds salt and uses it against her. In the boss fight with Riba, Mario drops a chandelier on him, knowing that killing him would release his hold on Luigi. When he is forced to fight Helena in her realm, Mario outsmarts her and uses all of her traps against her. He's also shown to be knowledgeable on certain spirits, such as in the Sane Route, where Mario shows to be aware of how hostile lanterns are to the living and deduced that he shouldn't let himself be seen by them. He also seems to know how to appease certain spirits and help put them to rest, like he does to Serina, Anna, Alice, Norma, and a few others. However, his greatest feat of intelligence is eventually coming to realize that the only way to truly best Len and free himself from her control is to just not save, and not tempt fate at all.

Determination and Willpower: Mario's greatest strength aside from his intellect is his sheer will and desire to not give up. Even in the midst of hopeless situations like being possessed by Alice and struggling to escape the mansion alive, he's shown that he wouldn't give up and continues persevering no matter what. Mario also demonstrates impressive willpower by being able to resist Alice's control for most of the game, since she only completely possesses him in certain events in the game. Despite the mental and emotional trauma he's gone through and having numerous spirits and enemies telling him to give up and just accept his fate, Mario has refused and continued to persevere, determined not to die in the mansion. In the Sane Route of Arc, Mario becomes determined to calm down and reason with his brother, as well as later save him from Riba's grasp, despite Luigi's former negative feelings towards him. In the Insane Route, Mario still shows this determination, telling Marchionne that he will live on for those that he lost. Even in the fight with his ancestor, Mario's willpower completely overpowers Marchionne's, allowing Mario to defeat him.

Combat Prowess: Despite mostly being shown evading and completely avoiding his enemies most of the time in the game, Mario has shown to be somewhat proficient in combat. In the main game, he fights and defeats Alice all by himself with just his bare hands and sheer will. In Arc, Mario takes this further and demonstrates to be very skilled when using a blade, despite presumably having never done so before (this could possibly be a trait that he's inherited from Marchionne). He's able to stand up to and slay numerous shadow figures and giant spiders in the Insane Route. He's even able to overcome other more skilled, more powerful, and highly experienced entities like Misery and even Marchionne himself, as well as Sündige Nacht in Wonderland.

Loading and Saving: It is hinted by Marchionne/Sündige Nacht in most of their death scenes (and later flat out revealed by Len), that Mario has the ability to load and save each time he dies, allowing him to learn from his previous mistakes and overcome them. It's unclear how many times Mario has canonically used this ability (considering the experience of playing Mario the Music Box obviously varies from person to person), but in the ending of Continuance 4, Len sends Mario into a pit full of all the others that came before him, indicating that Mario has died quite a lot.

Heightened Reflexes: Mario does occasionally show to have impressive reflexes and reaction speeds in the game, like during the Insane Route where he manages to avoid blasts of magical lightning, as well blasts of light, from Marchionne. In the Insane Route, if the player messes up the puzzle where they have to place the moon and lady statues down correctly, they'll trigger a trap with a wire moving across the room (which in the Sane Route, completely blitzed Mario and Luigi all under a second and swiftly killed both of them). However, upon seeing it coming, Mario can quickly jump over and avoid it, depending on the player's choice.

Stealth: Mario demonstrates to be capable of stealth throughout the game, as he frequently manages to successfully hide from dangerous beings and entities. In the Insane Route, he shows two instances of being able to quietly move past enemies. One is when he manages to quietly sneak past Norma as well as several sleeping wolves in the Silent Forest. He also sneaks past three horrifying manifestations of Alice's mother during the trial of wrath at the Church. Mario in both Routes has also been able to move past Lantern spirits without getting spotted.

💚Luigi💚

Luigi is the deuteragonist of (Mario) The Music Box and the younger twin brother of Mario. Luigi is slightly taller and thinner than Mario. And, as a twin, His choice of clothing is similar to his brother's with his hat and shirt being the exact opposite color (green instead of red), to distinguish himself from Mario. His hat has his trademark L labeled on it to represent his name. While Luigi has blue eyes like Mario, ARC revealed that he actually had green eyes and his blue eyes were due to contact lens. In the Revamped, Mario also revealed that Luigi hated his green eyes and wanted to have the same eyes as him. Luigi enters the Mansion in search of his brother. Not knowing where he is, Luigi decides to take the direction that leads to the second floor (although the player can attempt heading the direction that leads to Mario, but will be stopped due to a force field, which will leave Luigi in shock).

Since (Mario) The Music Box shifts away from the Mario Universe, Luigi is given some development on his character, while retaining some of his based on his actual in the Mario series.Unlike Mario's brave and heroic personality, Luigi is the exact opposite, being easily frightened and afraid. He is most uncomfortable around ghosts. Despite being afraid of most things, Luigi tends to have the courage to overcome his fears and confront things he does not expect, but despite that he is just as optimistic and cheerful as his brother Luigi also is quite fond of plants, as shown when he examines one of them, he will comment that Mario dislikes them, but that doesn't mean that he (Luigi himself) can't. Luigi is also cautious about the choices he is about to make and knows never to look back when he escapes danger.

Luigi cares deeply for his brother, taking it upon himself to face through obstacles that may put his life at risk. It is possible that he had received information from Princess Peach on Mario's whereabouts, and knew where Mario had gone, which could explain why he was able to find out about the mansion in the first place. He believes Mario is important to the Mushroom Kingdom more than he does for himself, believing that he's only a mere shadow to his older brother, while everyone sees Mario as a true hero. He would do anything he can to bring his brother home in one peace. Luigi is unaware of Mario's behavior, and Alice's control over him. He does some suspicion over Mario the fact that he seems to be hiding something from him, but Luigi tends to shrug it off. Unlike his brother, Luigi doesn't care about uncovering the truth. His sole purpose was to find Mario and bring him home. Much of this is shown when during some parts of the game when Mario makes choices on what to do. Luigi becomes concerned on almost every choice Mario makes and suggests he investigate no more so they can leave the house immediately. Sometimes his suggestions can even save Mario from being killed, as shown in a scene where he stops Mario from reading a diary page in the original game. He immediately tells Mario to place the diary back where it was found; if Luigi was not in the party by this point, Mario will read the diary and be devoured by spirits of unknown children, resulting in a game over. Because Mario's purpose for coming to the mansion in the first place was to uncover the truth, Mario does not intend to leave until his goal has been accomplished, leaving Luigi to put up with Mario's actions as long as the two make it out alive, and because Mario is the older brother, he seems to have a higher authority between the two. It is shown that Luigi is heavily jealous of and envious of Mario due to him being very famous across the Kingdom, and he constantly feels that he's always left behind and buried in his shadow. This is further shown and expressed in the Insane Route of Arc as Envy takes the form of Luigi when dealing with Mario. Luigi isn't as forgiving as Mario is, and in the True Ending of the original game, he questions Mario's decision on choosing to set Alice free despite the many horrible things she did. In Mario the Music Box Arc's Sane Route, despite coming in to the mansion with the determination to bring his brother out alive, Luigi will knock Mario down and tell him that he's cursed to die here due to the spirit possessing him, and he will abandon him to attempt to leave. In the Revamped version however, Luigi abandons Mario out of belief that his brother was not real because he kept ignoring him when he says they should go back home, though at this point, he already met Luciano's spirit, who was starting to plant the seeds of doubt through his desire of revenge towards his brother Marchionne by trying to pit Luigi against Mario, who he doesn't recognize as a separate person from Marchionne. Later on, when Mario and Luigi try to escape after Riba dies, Luigi will betray and fatally stab Mario in the back to ensure Alice doesn't get free.

While Luigi generally shows a cowardly and fearful demeanor when encountered by enemies, he is actually much more powerful than he seems. Luigi has shown to be able to match and overpower his older brother, both Mario himself and even when in control of Alice. In Mario the Music Box Arc, Luigi was so dangerous that Mario was forced to flee and run away from him (and it should be noted that choosing to fight back only leads to Luigi's death due to him being preoccupied by Marchionne's spirit).

Superhuman Physique: Luigi had demonstrated to be capable of incredible feats of physical power beyond that of a normal human. When push comes to shove, Luigi is capable of fighting off spirits. In both of his encounters with the Fake Mario, Luigi was able to fight him off. Even when Luigi was ambushed and had rope tied around his neck by the doppelganger in the original game, Luigi was able to fight him off and break free. Luigi has other feats of strength, like being able to break free from Alfred when he grabbed onto his leg, or being able to briefly hold Riba back long enough for Alice to wake up and finish him off (despite Riba being confirmed to be a demon). In the final boss fight with Alice (taking control of Mario's body), Luigi is able to overpower and weaken her enough to force her to leave his brother's body. However, his most impressive feat of strength is the few times he's been able to match and overcome Mario himself on certain occasions like in the death scenes where Mario goes to look for him and finds him in the basement. Luigi will start to choke Mario out with the red plumber being unable to push him off or fight back (if Mario doesn't choose to reach for the weapon, Luigi eventually will successfully kill him), and in Arc, he does the same thing to him in the Sane Route and nearly strangles him to death if he doesn't have the dispel charm. Still in the Sane Route, he manages to restrain Mario in a death scene long enough to kill him by slitting his throat, and in the boss fight with Riba, he will briefly hold him in place, leaving him vulnerable to being attacked by Riba. Even with the ghost of Marchionne holding him back, Luigi will break free eventually if the player doesn't leave the house in 30 seconds before killing Mario as well. Aside from his surprising amount of strength, Luigi also demonstrates to have an impressive amount of endurance. One instance of this is in the original game, where Luigi gets shoved down the stairs by the Fake Mario and gets up afterwards from it with no issue. Additionally, despite being fatally wounded by Alice, it's revealed in Arc that Luigi survived, and he was able to still get back up and move around.

Intellect: While not to the extent of his brother, Luigi is very intelligent in his own right. He is shown to be able to successfully put Rosa's soul to rest by giving her both the apology letter and engagement ring at the same time. Additionally in the secret room, if the player attempts to read the books from the bloody bookshelf, Luigi will tell Mario to stop as he knows doing so will lead to Mario's death.

Determination and Willpower: Luigi demonstrates to have incredible amounts of determination and willpower like his brother, Mario. Despite numerous enemies in the game telling him to give up and that he'll die just like his brother, Luigi himself doesn't give up at all and continues striving to safe his brother. Even after being temporarily brought in an extreme state of mental and emotional trauma upon seeing a fake dead Mario in the basement, Luigi eventually calms down later on and continues his search for his brother, holding out hope that he's still alive.

Combat Prowess (limited): While not at all to the same skill that his brother has displayed, and additionally not preferring to fight at all, Luigi does exhibit some form of combat prowess. Typically when he is forced in situations where he has to fight such as fighting Mario both when Alice was taking over his body and later when he himself was being influenced by Riba, Luigi resorts to using brute strength to overpower and hold down his enemy down. He demonstrates this in all the times he fights Mario/attempts to kill him.

😈🩶Riba🩶😈

Riba is first encountered during Luigi's route when he is in search of Mario. Upon meeting Luigi, he introduces himself and his purpose with the mansion. After Luigi questions him if he's come across Mario by any chance, Riba responds that the last time he's heard of him was seeing him repeatedly bang his head on the wall, and running off into the darkness. He then warns Luigi not to linger in the mansion for too long before taking his leave. Riba happened to bump into Mario once again and appears to be taking care of him while he is unconscious. When the two meet each other and explain their purpose of being at the mansion, Riba will join Mario's party temporarily and become playable for a short time in his absence.

Riba can be described as a calm and serious individual compared to Mario and Luigi. He doesn't show too much fear despite the situation. For example, he is capable of navigating through the halls without a need for a light source, even though it leaves him vulnerable. In some cases, he also seems to be somewhat afraid of Alice, which hints about the nature of his relationship with her. When being pursued by her, he will try his best to avoid any contact with Alice, such as locking doors or hiding, even though he can overpower the body she's possessing. Riba seems to greatly dislike human beings, which hints that he is not human himself. The reasons are currently unknown, but it could be because he either simply can't relate to one or he had a negative experience in his past involving them.Riba's personality varies depending on the route chosen. In the True/Normal ending route, he is shown to be sadistic. His sadist side has mostly been shone towards Alice during the time she was going through an incurable disease. He offered her a chance at immortality in exchange for her entire family being sacrificed. This, however, was a lie, as he watched Alice murder her family members one-by-one in amusement. In -ARC-, a little more of his personality is explained. Riba hides his true personality under his calm persona. He's an expert of false truth and will silence anyone that comes close to finding out the truth to be revealed should they be close to a conclusion, and remove the evidence. Much of this is shown in the Sane route where he is psychotic towards Mario and Luigi when he finally sees them.

He attempts to kill them then and there. In the Sane Route, his hatred towards Alice is shown, which is why he will do anything in his power to kill her and Mario in order to end this investigation. This point is proven in the Insane route where it is revealed that Riba was the one who locked the door once Mario had entered the gas room. At his absolute worst, Riba will become so crazy and psychotic to the point of not even caring about his own well-being, as shown when he set the entire church on fire and having no regard for possibly setting himself on fire. But in the Insane Route, Riba actually helps Mario, because he is somewhat worried for him. Mario strikes him down after getting out of the gas room but meets him later. Some time into the gameplay, Riba saves Mario from his attempted suicide, then instantly kills Aurora to rescue Mario and wake him from an unreal dream later in the gameplay. Most of the time, Riba's personality remains unchanged when he kills Mario after the game (Ie. continuance 1 and 2). If Mario gives him an apple, he will appear more docile. As implied in the Insane route, Riba represents the sin of greed, only caring about himself and just using other people. He pretended to be friends with Marchionne and act nice to him and his family, only to ultimately betray them and kill them off. Riba will even do the same for anyone else that is no longer useful to him, as shown with Alice and Mario in some cases.

Riba has also shown to be utterly cruel, taking great pleasure in others pain and misery. An example of this is shown when he smiles and mocks Marchionne the night before his execution and reveals that he unintentionally killed his parents, or how he taunts Mario after killing Luigi right in front of him. Despite all that he's done, Riba did legitimately care about and love his previous wife, Elizabeth. He was completely heartbroken when he found out she died. Upon Mario giving him Elizabeth's ribbon, Riba will explode in grief and anger, and immediately choke out Mario, thinking he's Alice. Riba also loved both of his daughters. Although it's implied in the main game that he favored Serina over Anna, he was angered when Alice killed her. Riba is the third playable character and one of the main antagonists in (Mario) The Music Box. He is also the main antagonist of the Sane route, and a minor protagonist of the Insane route in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-. His last name is hinted to be Aduraice from a diary page written about Alice, meaning his full name is Riba Aduraice. He is first encountered as an NPC and then a playable character for a short time.

Riba is a man who looks to be in his mid 20's. He has dirty blonde hair, light skin, and gray eyes. In the original game, his eyes had white highlights, but starting from ARC, his eyes now lack the highlights to depict his "soulless" personality. He wears a pair of glasses, and a brown business-like suit with a red tie. He has pointy ears, which he covers with his hair to hide the truth that he is a demon. He may have brought his own weapon, which is a Machete.

It is confirmed that Riba's caring side was the result of memory loss due to his many deaths at the mansion. It is also revealed that Riba had been in a relationship with Alice in the past, which explains why she had some sort of connection with him throughout the course of the game. When his true personality is revealed, he is a cruel and cold-hearted person who loved to see people suffer. In fact, Riba never even loved Alice to begin with, which explains why he was her sole target throughout the game. When Mario and Luigi discover an old family photo, Riba was in the picture. The house had been abandoned for decades, which meant that Riba wasn't human, due to looking the same throughout the timeline. When Riba met Alice in the past, the two had fallen in love and Riba had become a part of her family. Alice loved Riba dearly, but he didn't in return. He had a child named Serina, with Alice. Later at some point, she had an unknown disease that drastically shortened her lifespan (said disease is unknown). Alice was driven to insanity because she did not want to die at such a young age. When Riba discovered this, he used this as an advantage to make a deal with her. Alice was to sacrifice her whole family and anyone else that lived in her mansion so she could obtain immortality and live forever with Riba.

Much to his amusement, Riba had enjoyed watching as Alice slaughtered her entire family one-by-one. When the ritual was believed to be close to completion, with Serina supposedly being the final sacrifice, she was murdered by his daughter, Anna during that same time due to Anna's jealousy towards her taking its toll on her sanity, and buried her body near the abandoned mine shaft. When Alice found out, she became furious and killed Anna in cold blood. With Serina's corpse missing and Anna not being a suitable sacrifice due to her being an outsider to the family, Alice's ritual was incomplete. Her skull was then bashed in with a crowbar at the hands of her lifelong lover as soon as she discovered Riba's true intentions. This led to her spirit haunting the halls of the mansion, waiting to get her revenge on him someday. However, she had already cursed the mansion before her death, trapping Riba within the mansion. He had seemingly forgotten Alice's true intentions by the time Mario and Luigi had came by to investigate.

When Mario was possessed by Alice's spirit, Riba used this as an advantage to make him into a sacrificial host for her. When Mario read Anna's note, he was close to uncovering the mystery behind the mansion, before Riba snatches the note and tears it to shreds. To gain Alice's trust again, he continued on with her wishes by trying to complete the ritual so she could be with him forever before possibly turning against her once again. However, Alice ends up betraying Riba during the ritual and slits his throat. Though, she literally stabs him in the back in the remastered version. Being a demon in disguise of a human, Riba is an extremely powerful being. Much more powerful and dangerous than almost any of the cast. This is expressed in the true ending of the main game as well as the Sane route of Arc where Riba shows to be a highly dangerous threat to the brothers, if not more than any of the other threats in the game. In the Continuance 4 ending, Marchionne himself even states that Riba should have more power than him.

Demonic Physiology: As a demon, Riba is capable of incredible feats of physical strength and power that surpass any regular human being, including both Mario and Luigi. On multiple occasions, he demonstrated his ability to overpower Mario in terms of sheer strength, such as when he was able to choke him instead of actually beating him (when Alice possessed him and chased him through the hallway), and during the insane route where a flashback of Elizabeth and Anna causes him to attack Mario out of rage. Mario, despite his own superhuman strength and durability, is no match for Riba. Additionally, Riba, later on, overpowers Luigi after he interrupts the ritual, and the only thing that stopped him from finishing the younger man off was Alice waking up and gutting Riba like a fish. Aside from being capable of superhuman strength, Riba has feats of impressive endurance. He is able to take and endure harsh punishment. In the insane route, Mario ambushes and stabs him repeatedly with a knife. He survives the attack, claiming that it was merely a scratch, which meant he is capable of enhanced regeneration, as Mario notes that he has no visible wounds on him.

Immortality: After becoming a demon, Riba was granted a limited form of immortality. Riba doesn't appear to age at all, and he's been alive for over a century. He has maintained a long lifespan living in Evangeline, and later on, being trapped in the mansion for many years after. Additionally, Riba is unable to die at the hands of the humans, or at the very least, so easily, having survived Mario's attempts to strike him down (in the second Sane Route ending, it's shown that Riba has actually survived having his head crushed by a chandelier).

In the Insane Route, Mario doesn't kill Riba as it's stated that Riba had survived and simply played dead. If Mario tries to attack Riba in the church during the sin trials, he kills him almost instantly. The only thing that can kill him is either decapitation or getting crushed, or even a supernatural being of his caliber taking him out. Cold weather, at least, seems to affect him, as It's unknown if even poison would work on him.

Resurrection: Whenever Riba is killed, he comes back to life in a new body, as it is stated throughout his time being trapped in the mansion. Presumably, whenever he has died by any of the angered spirits in the mansion (or when he committed suicide in hopes of escaping), he only reawakens in the mansion. The process of resurrecting appears to take a long time, which is proven that if Riba dies at all in the Insane Route, he doesn't reappear for the rest of the run.

Each time he comes back, he loses a bit of his memory of his former life. When he resurrected after being killed by Marchionne in the forest, he struggled to remember everything that happened beforehand, and that he had failed to remember Mario (only gaining his memories of the plumber back after seeing his picture).

Pyrokinesis (limited): Riba has demonstrated to be capable of the creation and manipulation of fire, as shown in his boss battle in the Sane Route. Despite the fire in-game not being able to harm the player, in the cutscene following Riba's defeat, the flames burn down the church, probably in a final attempt at killing Mario and Luigi (if he lives).

Mind Control: Riba has the ability to gain control of someone's mind and influence them. In the Sane Route, he takes control of Luigi and orders him to kill Mario at the Church. Given that Alice shows sincere regret for her horrible actions and Riba mentioning how much he likes hurting people as well as his amusement at watching her kill her entire family, it is possible that Riba had used this ability on her when she did this, especially since Alice admits to caring greatly about her father.

And if this were true, it's also possible Riba's influence is dependent on the mental state of the victim. Alice was desperate to live, not wanting to die at a young age, and went insane, whereas Luigi was mentally taxed out from Marchionne making amends with Luciano finally making peace after hearing Mario apologize for everything.

Demonic Transformation: Riba has the ability to shed his human shell into his true form, as seen in the Sane Route Missing Ending B. Riba grows wings from his back, sharp teeth, horns, and a snake-like tongue. His skin also grows abnormally pale with black spots. In this form, he feasts upon the flesh and souls of humans. This demonic form is so terrifying that Mario, who previously was willing to accept his fate, had tried to run away and escape him. According to the design sheet for this form, Riba rarely ever transforms because it happens at random, meaning he has little to no control over it due to lack of experience.

Combat Prowess: In his past life before the events of Mario the Music Box, Riba initially served as Marchionne's overseer, protecting him from all types of dangerous threats, which included assassins and witches. It's revealed in a secret cutscene that Riba was the one that gave Marchionne his signature blade and taught him how to wield it in self-defense, indicating that Riba himself is quite skilled and formidable in combat.

Intellect and Quick Planning: Having lived for so long, Riba is intelligent and knowledgeable on a lot of things. He possesses certain knowledge on different types of spirits, as seen in the Insane Route where he quickly identifies the Lanterns by the sound of their bells, despite not being able to see them properly in the fog.

Riba knows exactly how to fend off and deal with spirits when confronted. Upon encountering the mysterious spirit while searching for a plank, Riba waits for it to make it's move and dodges before retreating. Upon hiding from Alice, Riba decides he will need to lash out and forcefully remove Alice's control over Mario. Riba has even shown to be capable of predicting and outsmarting his opponents on some occasions. When hiding from Riba in the sane route, (if the player is under the bed) he will drop his key on the ground to lure Mario out. When Mario attacks him upon escaping the gas room, he plays dead just to make him think he had died and reunites with him later on.

Expert Manipulator: Riba has shown to be an expert in manipulation, like his power of Mind Control. He is able to easily sway anyone and use them for his own purposes. In the game, and further emphasized from the sin of Greed trial at the church, he's manipulated Marchionne, Alice, and Mario for his whims. He used Marchionne to obtain all of his money and his power, Alice's love, along with her desperation to live, and him influencing her to massacre her family. Additionally, Riba manipulates Mario, using him as a means to an end so he can finally be rid of Alice and free himself from the curse that kept him bound within the mansion.

Night Vision: Riba can see in the dark, probably thanks to the fact he is a demon. He doesn't need a light source to see. This is also the reason why in Mario The Music Box Remastered, he chooses not to take Mario's lantern, even after Mario heavily suggests it to him.

Despite being a very powerful demon/human, Riba is not without weakness For instance, it is implied that Riba's deadly power can wane should he start to develop feelings. Throughout the Insane Route of Arc, Riba is shown to be significantly more vulnerable due to the fact that he (to an extent) cares about the well-being of Mario. Despite killing Mario in cold blood in Continuance 1 (as well as trying and failing to kill him in the Continuance 2 ending), Riba admits to Mario in a death scene during the Insane Route that he genuinely felt sorry for the plumber and was trying to keep him alive for as long as possible. In the Continuance 4 ending of Arc, Riba's feelings for Mario emotionally weakens him so that he's powerless before Marchionne. However in the Sane Route, Riba is shown to be much more powerful and threatening due to being purely evil and insane. Additionally, because of him being a demon within, Riba is highly susceptible to holy water. If the player chooses to give it to him, Riba will be burnt from the inside out. The immense pain drives him to snatch Mario's knife and stab himself to death. Riba is the husband of Alice Aduraice, and also her murderer. They had met when Alice was just a child, and Alice seemingly immediately developed feelings for him. Though, at the time, he saw her as just an annoyance without showing it outright. When Alice grew up, she "saved" Riba's daughter, Anna, from a house fire she started, tricking him into marrying her, and killing his previous wife. Riba has grown to clearly hate Alice, despite manipulating her into thinking he's still interested in her. The only present instance of Riba caring about Alice is when she disappears in ARC.

Depending on what route (or game) you play, Riba has a very different relationship with Mario. In most playthroughs, Riba deeply hates Mario and wants nothing more than to get rid of him in the form of murder. Riba loves to manipulate and use others, and Mario is no different. Although, in other routes, Riba grows to care for Mario and it is hinted at times that he develops feelings for him. It is unknown if it is friendly or romantic.

🔪Alice🔪

Alice Aduraice is the main antagonist of (Mario) The Music Box and (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-. She possesses Mario throughout both games. Alice has murdered many people when she was alive and has continued to do so as a spirit. Alice is a slim and well-endowed 26-year-old woman (at least at the time of her death) with dirty blonde hair, green eyes, a blue column-off-the-shoulder dress, and blue high heels. As an entity, she has pale skin and black sclera with glowing green eyes. Alice is introduced as malicious and megalomaniacal being to the extreme, going to great lengths to continue her massacre from long ago and resorting to all methods possible to do so such as stealing control of Mario's body. Over time, she is shown and described to be very extroverted and judgmental, unafraid and quite ready to voice her rock bottom opinion of others no matter who it is including other powerful beings such as Aurora, Marchionne, and her ex-husband Riba. She also displays nigh-unparalleled confidence in herself, possessing the belief that she is guaranteed to succeed in her goals against all others, although she is capable of recognizing when she is in real danger. Being selfish, turbulent, and hysterical as well to a fault, she often gives in to fits when things do not go her way and displays total disregard for the welfare of others en route to achieving her goal as seen with both Mario Brothers. Lastly, she possesses a strong sadistic streak and love of violence, relishing in being called a cold-blooded killer and taking strong pleasure in causing pain to others whether physical or psychological.

While possessing Mario, she becomes known as Malice, and initially resembles Mario identically, save for turning his blue eyes green. Once she fully assumes control, she swaps out of Mario’s standard plumber’s apparel for a wedding (Or Ritual) gown, as well as her eyelashes being more prominent.

Exploring the ARC Expansion of (Mario) the Music Box, Alice is also given a misogynistic angle, revealed to be due to her abusive mother's treatment of her in her childhood. This misogyny has festered into a strong and hostile mistrust towards other women, particularly manifesting as murderous envy towards Riba's first wife, Elizabeth, when she learned of their relationship. Indeed, other interactions she has concerning other women are dismissive at best as seen when openly disparaging Rosa following the latter's suicide to Alfred's face.

Though she is oftentimes in the throes of hysteria, she is nonetheless highly attentive to who is responsible for the misfortunes that occur around her and is extremely indignant when anyone attempts to blame her for them. For example, in the insane route of Arc, when Mario loses his sanity, kills Luigi, and believes that it is Alice's doing, she objects and points out that she did absolutely nothing and continued to say that Luigi's death was solely Mario's fault. Another example is when Marchionne tells Mario that he blames his misfortunes on Alice and that Mario should do the same. Using Mario's body, Alice objects Marchionne and argues that he is the one at fault, stating that his selfishness and cruel indifference made her life a living hell. She then continues by pointing out that although Marchionne blames her for Luciano's death, he was the very person who betrayed and killed him. As seen throughout the game and in the trial of Wrath from the insane route of Arc, Alice is a vengeful ghost and filled to the brim with rage. Her anger for all the misfortunes inflicted upon her is so potent that Anna had to seal her away, claiming that if she were to go free, her wrath would destroy the entire world. Marchionne later claims this as well in the trail of Pride when Mario and Alice confront him. She hates Riba for the mental suffering he inflicted upon her, which is shown in the numerous death scenes where she kills him in the main game and in Arc. She also shows how much she loathes her mother, Evie, claiming that it's because of her that she holds a rather negative outlook on the world.

Alice is so malicious and immoral that her mere presence alone can scare away hostile ghosts. This is shown at the beginning of Arc in the Insane Route, where she scares away both the bathroom spirit as well as the random spirit inside of the treasure chest room (which only happens if the player lets the time run out). However, her aura does not have any effect on the hostile spirits haunting Evangeline.

Prior to becoming a spirit, Alice was shown to be infatuated with Riba to the point of being completely obsessed with and dependent upon him. Even as a young girl, she wanted to grow up and marry him. Upon learning that he was married to Elizabeth and had a child named Anna, Alice became enraged. She was heartbroken and greatly upset at Riba betraying her. Envious and vengeful, Alice confronts Elizabeth and retaliates by killing her and burning down Riba's house. As the house starts to burn, Alice sees Riba's and Elizabeth's child, Anna, whom she hated upon sight and planned to let her die. Anna's existence only worsened Alice's feeling of betrayal. However, when Alice heard Riba come to see the burning house, she decided to save Anna, knowing that if she chooses not to spare her, Riba will become suspicious, which will not only ruin her chances of marrying him but will also put her in trouble with the law. Alice's love for Riba may also make her subconsciously and erroneously believe that either she is entitled to Riba, or believe that she was always in a romantic relationship with him. This is shown when Alice firmly believes that Riba cheated on her despite the fact that they never had an official romantic relationship prior to Riba marrying Elizabeth. Even Riba, who after logically explaining how he never cheated and still failing to change Alice's mind, comments, "There's really no way to get this through to you..."

Despite Alice's flaws, she proves herself to not be inherently evil. Excluding Evie, she has shown to greatly care about her family, especially her father, even though he was not her biological father. Although Anna was her adopted child, she grew to care about and love her prior to Serena's birth. However, when Alice contracted a serious disease, she became determined not to die. This desperation, along with Riba taking advantage of it, plunged her into madness and drove her to killing her entire family. Alice has shown that, despite her affection for her loved ones, she, like most humans, prioritizes her survival over everything and almost everyone else in the end.

Upon learning that Riba manipulated her to kill her family, Alice became livid and casted a curse upon him, making it so that Riba cannot ever leave the mansion (unless either Alice lifts the curse herself or Alice's spirit passes on). She promises to make Riba understand her pain and to do everything in her power to hurt him.

Despite being a vengeful spirit full of rage, Alice also has expressed sincere guilt and sadness for her sins and the outcome of her life. Before Riba murders her, she thinks about everyone she's killed or lost (including Anna). On the rooftop, Alice appears in the form of Mario and talks to Luigi, telling him about how her zealous affection for Riba destroyed her and even encouraging Luigi to not make the same mistakes that she did. Her sorrow is further expressed in the True Ending as well as in the Hallway of Pride during the Continuance 4 ending, where Alice says that all she wanted was to live again and desired to not be alone anymore. In the Continuance 4 ending, in the Hallway of Pride, where Riba expresses guilt for making her suffer, she tearfully confesses that she wishes they could go back and start over, showing that she has finally forgiven him. Her weapon is a knife, used by herself, Sometimes possessing Mario to use this weapon.

A long time ago, Alice had lived with her mother Evie and her stepfather Isaac, and the family was originally quite poor. Having an abusive mother such as Evie and with Isaac likely unaware of the abuse, Alice spent her childhood very hungry, sleep deprived, and always made to work to put food on the table and beg for money. Even after the family had become rich, Evie had drained Isaac of all his funds and decided to abandon Alice. One day, she met Riba in Evangeline who, after briefly speaking with her, enlisted her aid to dispose of Marchionne in order to bring power to Riba and wealth to her own family. At some unspecified time, Alice had secretly imprisoned her mother Evie for several days before confronting her mother and then killing her. Alice herself continued to spy on Marchionne and had an encounter with Luciano, antagonizing him briefly under the belief that he was a witch. After Marchionne's execution, Riba then took the position as the head clergy of Evangeline while Alice's family was able to live in their home again. He soon married a woman named Elizabeth, thus breaking his promise of marrying Alice when she grew up. When Alice became an adult, she went to visit Riba but found out that he had a child, Anna, with Elizabeth.

Alice, who still remembered the promise of marriage that Riba made to her as a child, became angry at him and jealous of Elizabeth. One day, she visited Riba's home while he was away where she confronted his wife Elizabeth and an infant Anna there. She murdered Elizabeth and started a fire in the house, planning to let Anna burn to death, but Riba came home early and saw his house ablaze. Alice knew that if she escaped by herself, Riba would think she was responsible for the arson and Elizabeth's death. To avoid suspicion, she decided to rescue Anna from the fire. She then comforted Riba who was in great sorrow after seeing his house and beloved wife disappear in an instant.

Little did Alice know, Riba already knew the truth and was already plotting of a way to get back at her for Elizabeth's death, starting with finally upholding his promise to marry her. Alice being none the wiser, she was susceptible to Riba's deceit when he proposed a ritual that would make her immortal with him. Alice had apparently hesitated for some time, but when she became terminally ill with no way to cure her disease, she desperately turned to the occult and black magic to begin the ritual and make herself immortal with Riba. Serina was to be the sacrifice, but Anna had murdered Serina prior to Alice being able to use Serina as a sacrifice. Infuriated that Anna had cost her the immortality she sought, she murdered Anna in retaliation and attempted to hide the evidence. Once again, however, Riba eventually learned of the truth and changed the ritual's requirements to include the rest of Alice's family and servants. Alice took to this second chance and began her infamous killing spree, murdering everyone she could left and right. In the end, however, she was left all alone once her work was done, lamenting all she had done, how her father must have been so disappointed in her, and that everything her family had done would die with her. Riba finally confronts Alice concerning her murder of Anna and Elizabeth to which Alice confessed but maintained that Riba had committed infidelity and thus she could not love Anna the way she loved Serina. Riba revealed his true colors to Alice, admitting having never loved her and having only used her for her potential power once she became immortal, although Alice ultimately failed in the end which Riba wasted no time calling her out for on failing everything. Infuriated that she was thoroughly used and giving in to sheer rage, Alice curses Riba so that once she dies, he will be trapped in the mansion, unable to leave unless he were to resurrect her. Going one last extra mile to spite the world she felt so cruel to her, Alice also cursed the rest of the land of the living, spreading destruction to everything that would come her way. Riba, fed up with Alice, finally ends her life by bashing her skull in with a crowbar, and he takes her body inside for Anna to trap her spirit inside the music box to prevent her leave and to keep her curse from spreading outside of the mansion to destroy everything. Although her mortal life ended, Alice eventually rose up as a vengeful spirit bent on world destruction, cursing the mansion to lure people to it so that she may yet again roam among the living (shot-lived living should she have her way), but thanks to Anna she was left to simply play the waiting game.

One day, a new prospect host for Alice's soul came to the mansion to inspect the rumors about the place eating travelers alive; Mario, after receiving a tip from Princess Peach, goes alone for her supposed safety (although he is more worried about himself), eventually making his way to the home and prying the front door open with a crowbar (the very same one Riba had used once upon a time). Because of Riba having vague familiarity of Mario and because Mario had felt different from the rest of those who entered the mansion, Anna had allowed him to roam free in the hopes that he would save them all—a grave error in judgment when the only room Mario ventures to happens to be the one with the music box which Alice was trapped inside. The moment Mario takes hold of the music box, Alice enters his body having found her new host to escape with. So close to having her freedom, she is denied when the exit to the front door to the mansion is removed, forcing her to wait until Mario's mind became weak enough for her to possess him and waiting for another exit to be found.

Once Mario falls asleep after Riba calms him down from the extreme stress the man had gone through, Alice finally meets with her new host face to face in a dream, eagerly looking forward to taking over his body completely. She once used Mario's body in an attempt to kill Riba, though she is temporarily thwarted by Riba's self-defense measures. Once Riba and Mario make it to the gardens, Alice more properly reintroduces herself to Riba and strikes a deal with him that the two of them would both benefit from: deliver Mario to the ritual room and finish what they started centuries ago so that both of them will be free to do as they pleased. Riba betrays Mario and attempts to abscond with his body, but he is temporarily stopped by Luigi who was tipped off about the man's true nature, abandoning Mario to flee Luigi for the time being. From here on out, Alice's fate depends on the various endings that are achieved.

Should the player undertake the Missing ending route, Alice's role continues into the -ARC- Expansion as she schemes always to take over Mario's body and be granted true freedom once more to curse the world.

🖤Len🖤

Len Alwenia Foska, known as the Cheshire Cat in Wonderland, is the overarching antagonist of (Mario) The Music Box. She appears in both (Mario) The Music Box Remastered and (Mario) The Music Box: ARC and serves as both an enemy and an ally depending on how you play the game. She is a witch and the creator of Marchionne's Brooch, Aurora's necklace, Helena's ring, and the music box. Her origins are unknown, but due to her magical powers that can range from wish-granting to reality alteration, it is likely that she is some sort of divine entity, if not God herself. Marchionne even suggests this as a possibility in the Continuance #4 Ending. She can turn into the form of a cat, and it is revealed at one point in the Insane Route that she was one of the original cursed twins, probably with the other twin being Layla.

Len's appearance differs between her different forms. As a human, she has white hair and white skin, and resembles a young girl, though she is much older than she seems. In her cat form, she has black fur. One striking similarity between the two forms is that she has different colored eyes, one is blue and the other is yellow.

In her Wonderland version, she is a mix between both her human and cat forms. She does not have her hooded coat, which reveals white hair that has been tinted blue at the edges and a pair of blue cat ears. Whether she also has these ears under her hood in the main game or whether said ears are real and not artificial are currently unknown. She now wears a blue dress. She also has a gold earring with a long chain and a piece of jewelry at the end on her left cat ear. In Wonderland, she also seems to take on a vaguely more adult-like form. Since she rarely appears in the games and there is scarcely any information given regarding her past, Len is one of the more enigmatic characters in the game. She always wears a stoic expression on her face and rarely expresses her emotions, if at all, which only add to her mysterious aura. It is hinted that Len may look down on humans, as she once questions how the residents of Evangeline are foolish enough to believe that Marchionne's death would be beneficial to them. While Len may not be necessarily cruel, she, however, does not show compassion towards humans, as she had no qualms with sending Mario to what seems like Purgatory. She only perceives humans as simply objects that assist her in her research in human behavior. She may even sometimes see humans as toys, since she revives Mario after he dies in her boss battle simply because she thought his death was "boring" or "disappointing." Len may also be slightly pessimistic, as she states that hope is for fools.

In Wonderland, she still maintains her goal to complete her research, but her personality has now changed noticeably. Instead of constantly wearing an expressionless face, she now has a more varied set of expressions, her most commonly seen expression being a sly smile. Len is shown to have a more sadistic personality, since she likes to watch the pointless suffering created from political feuds and smiles when she kills Sündige Nacht and manipulates Mario to wish for power, leading to his downfall. She also once removed Mario's voice and smiled cruelly, knowing fully well that it would put him in danger. She also states that she will relish every moment of Mario's repeated suffering in Wonderland. Thus, in a sense, Len's personality has become somewhat similar to Riba's initially cruel personality. Len has now been given new quirks as well. Len has no interest in political matters even though she has vast influence and power by just simply possessing the diamond suit. Len also prefers to avoid questions and is easily annoyed by them, to the point where she simply took away Mario's voice in order for him to stop pestering her. Len appears in (Mario) The Music Box Remastered as her cat form and serves as a way to block Mario from traveling up the stairs in the mansion at different points in the game. At first when Mario interacts with her, she only acts like a cat, but after Mario interacts with her enough times, she begins to speak. Mario can then do one of four things: ask her who she is, what she is, say nothing, or ask about the experiment. The first two listed options returns a one dialog box response that does not truly answer the question asked, and the third option returns nothing. The fourth option however, results in Len asking if Mario really wants to know about the experiment. If he answers yes, Len will kill him, stating how he is no longer needed and that she prefers her "subjects to be ignorant of the truth". In (Mario) The Music Box: ARC, Len's first appearance in the Insane Route is when you leave the Evangelisti's home after getting the Brooch Fragment hidden there. She assumes her cat form, and Mario notices that she has one of the Brooch Fragments in her mouth. She runs from him, and he gives chase. He follows her through the Silent Forest, and meets her again in the basement of the Unknown Residence that Riba is in in the 2nd District of Evangeline, where you can exchange the Dead Fish Mario found at the Memorial for the Brooch Fragment.

Mario meets Len once again in the Old Aduraice Home when Marchionne takes Mario's spirit from his body in hopes to make him fade away. After finding the False Book on the second floor, she will appear in cat form once again and send Mario back to his body. After this, if you read the note Alice was looking at before the ordeal, it will trigger a flashback to Riba and Alice's wedding, where they receive the Music Box as a present from Len, who both of them do not know.

If the player does not kill Riba after talking to him, showing the Green Headband and giving him the apple, Len will appear near the end, freezing time. She will assume her human form and reveal how she met Marchionne and gave him the Brooch that allowed him to be reborn as Mario. In exchange for him being reborn, he became her test subject, for the purpose of studying human behavior. She also tells Mario how she witnessed Marchionne's execution. She says how every time you load a save, you create a new iteration of Mario and the world around him. After this, Mario will break down and realize that this entire ordeal had nothing to do with Alice or the Music Box being cursed, and commences Len's boss battle.

If the player decides to play through the game without saving once, Len appears in the Star Ending in her cat form, presumably because she is the one who restored Mario's old life. She says that since Mario decided to not save, it means that Mario does not rely on the saving system Len provided for him and thus does not need Len anymore to save him. By not using the saving system, Mario is free from the cycle Len put him in, and thus, Len does not need him anymore. Mario, back in his old life, is now able to live with freedom.

In Wonderland, it seems that the letters Mario finds on the ground are written by Len, since the tone they are all written in aligns with Len's personality. Len then personally appears immediately after Mario activates the bridge. She disappears, then reappears later when Mario is captured and put in prison by the Queen of Hearts. After explaining to Mario how he can escape Wonderland, Mario continues to give her questions. Annoyed, she decides to take away Mario's voice so that he will not be able to bother her anymore. If Mario does not find his voice in time and is executed, Len will appear behind Sündige Nacht, who is lamenting about not being able to save Mario sooner. Len says that Sündige Nacht's efforts to save Mario and escape Wonderland are futile. Sündige Nacht is indignant, and says he only ever wanted to be reincarnated in his old world and not Wonderland. Len then kills him, saying that since Mario is deceased he is no longer needed.

If Mario finds his voice and survives to defeat Sündige Nacht, Len will appear behind Mario. Mario, seemingly oblivious to her presence, is manipulated by Len into wishing for power instead of wishing to return home. Len smiles, thinking about how Mario still fails to break the cycle of suffering within Wonderland that he wanted to be so desperately free from. She wonders when one of the various iterations of Mario will come and finally break the cycle. She dismisses the thought, and says that she will relish in Mario's pain until the very end. For more information on these two endings from Wonderland, go to the Murder and Corruption endings on the page Endings.

🤍Layla🤍

Layla is a white cat appearing in Mario The Music Box remastered version. She first appears at the end of the extended demo, talking to Riba in his head and giving him advice to help Mario despite Riba's reluctance to talk to her. After Mario gets possessed by Alice, he goes into panic, but Riba calms Mario down by talking to him and then gives him a hug before he falls asleep. After Riba reads a ritual book about how to obtain immortality, Layla appears and greets him. Riba realizes that she is the voice that was in his head and asks who she is; Layla gives Riba her name and tells him that she is his guardian angel to which Riba coldly tells her that he doesn't need an angel. Riba then tells her to leave him alone and get out of his head, but Layla replies that he, in fact, does needs her because it was only through her that Riba was able to save a life, and she adds that she is glad that Riba helped Mario. Layla then asks Riba what he will do next to which Riba says he will do nothing and simply wait. Layla then reveals to Riba that he will die today. After that, the demo ends. In the secret scene of the Better Off Lost ending, Layla interrupts Riba's celebration of freedom after Alice passed on. She then traps Riba by bringing him to the forgotten town of Evangeline, and tells him that the people he hurt, including Marchionne, Luciano, and Misery, are disappointed and angry at him, as they get ready to kill him. The scene ends with Layla telling Riba to run away like a coward.

Layla has a similar appearance to Len's cat form, although she is not black, but white, and her eye coloring mirrors Len's. Her human form is shown to be also similar in appearance to Len's human form, the differences being that she has black hair instead of white, with her eye coloring remaining the same as her cat form. Layla, like Len, can willingly switch between her cat and human form. Not much is known about her now, but it is suggested that Layla is Len's twin (since Len was one of the cursed twins). If this would be right, Layla would most likely be the twin with great power, while Len would the twin with great misfortune.

Mercy

Mercy is a character from (Mario) The Music Box. She is the mother of Leo and Rae, the younger adoptive sister of Alice, and one of the victims who disappear inside the Mansion before Mario's investigation.

Mercy is initially hinted to be sadistic, since she giggles before chasing Mario and attempting to inject him with a lethal substance. After Mario stops her, however, Mercy is clearly shown to be far from being cruel. Rather, like the other spirits in the Mansion, she is pained, angry, and generally melancholy, because of Alice. She holds a grudge against her sister because Alice killed her son and daughter. She also holds a grudge against the living because she believes they are selfish, just like Alice. These two grudges are shown when she hopes Mario will die, just so Alice cannot escape the Mansion. Before the Events, Mercy was living in the Mansion. She was killed by Alice along with her two children. It can be assumed that Mercy and Alice had a generally good relationship before Alice started acquiring sacrifices for the immortality ritual. After Alice killed Rae and Leo, Mercy was pained and greatly loathed her.

Leo and Rae

Rae and Leo are the kids of Mercy.

Rae is one of the victims that was murdered within the mansion. Her corpse was placed in a box and thrown into frozen storage past the kitchen. Unable to move on to the afterlife, her spirit was bound to the mansion's curse and she resides in the frozen storage. Rae only makes her appearance when Mario steps into the freezer. She will lock him in and prevent him from escaping. A cutscene will play hearing Rae's words in calling Mario a useless worm before receiving a Game Over.

Leo is a minor character in (Mario) The Music Box. He is the son of Mercy, the sister of Rae, and the adoptive nephew of Alice and Riba. He is included as one of the victims that were murdered during Alice's scheme. His name is hinted in one of the diary pages Mario reads that reviews on his death, as well as his mother and sister. Leo doesn't have a big role like a few NPCs who are encountered. It is discovered later in the game when he was killed, his corpse was placed in a toy box hidden somewhere in the mansion. It is possible that the corpse Luigi discovered inside a chest in one of the F2 Rooms when he begins his adventure for the first time, is, in fact, Leo's corpse. In Luigi's perspective, he was most likely beaten to death and probably mutilated because Luigi was unable to recognize the face of his corpse (the scene might've also been quite disturbing, explaining why the CG was focused from inside the chest's view towards Luigi). Before picking a key left on Leo's hand, he appears briefly behind Luigi and gives him a vision on how he was killed. Leo referred to his murderer as "auntie" as he was being beaten to death. This "auntie" is will later be revealed to be Alice.

Aria

Aria is a young girl and a pianist who owns the piano in the location of the room. She lived in the mansion with the residents of Alice.Aria can be encountered when Mario plays the piano. Like Serina, she didn't remember much of her death. She asked Mario to find the missing piano pieces so that she will give a key to the library. While Aria is playing the piano one day, the room was blacked out (Possibly by Alice) and she couldn't see anything. It was possibly believed that Alice killed her at that moment not remembering her death. In (Mario) The Music Box Remastered, in one of the notes Alice wrote that can be found in the chest in the room where Mario encountered the scissor girl, it is revealed that when Aria was playing the piano, Alice crushed her skull into the piano and took her incomplete music sheet so she wouldn't remember her death.

Serina

Serina is the daughter of Riba and Alice, and younger half-sister of Anna. She is one of the victims rumored to have disappeared in the mansion prior to the events before Mario's investigation. Her corpse can be discovered buried near the entrance to the Abandoned Mineshaft. Serina was a young blonde haired (which she inherited from Alice) girl closely resembling Riba. She has gray eyes, wears a blue bow behind her hair and a brown sweater.

When discovered as a spirit, her eyes are blank like the others, her skin is ghostly pale, her ribbon is missing, and she's covered in dirt. As Good entity/Glitter form, her hair and eyes are shining gold. Serina was born after Riba and Alice were married. Alice showered her only biological daughter in affection, while abusing and neglecting Anna, her stepdaughter from Riba's previous marriage. Anna, confused at her mother's cruel treatment of her and jealous of the love given to her younger sister, began to resent Serina. One day, she invited Serina to play deep in the woods, by the mineshaft. There, Anna revealed her jealousy, which confused Serina, as she'd never seen her mother treat Anna poorly. Enraged, Anna beat Serina to death with a shovel in the hopes that being rid of her would lead to Alice showing her more affection. Years later, Mario and Luigi discover her corpse buried by the Abandoned Mineshaft. Having no memory of her death, Serina doesn't understand why her spirit still remains in this world. When Mario asks her about her ribbon lying next to her grave and why she isn't wearing it, Serina doesn't recall if it even belongs to her. Mario then aides her in recovering her memory, revealing she was murdered & buried alive by her sister Anna. Upon remembering her death, Serina is filled with grief and sorrow for her sister. She realizes the reason her spirit was unable to pass on was because she wasn't able to apologize to her sister for allowing her to be put through so much pain and suffering. Her final request to Mario was to tell her sister how sorry she has been before passing on to the afterlife.

Anna Aduraice

Anna Addington (Later Anna Aduraice after being "adopted" by Alice) is the daughter of Elizabeth and Riba, the stepdaughter of Alice, and as well as the older half-sister of Serina. She is one of the victims rumored to have disappeared in the mansion prior to the events before Mario's investigation. Her corpse can be discovered buried inside the Abandoned Mineshaft. Anna was a young red-haired girl with blue eyes (which she inherited from her biological mother Elizabeth), wearing a pink dress, with a white collar and a mini handkerchief-like cloth hanging from the middle of her chest. As an Evil entity, Her dress is red instead of pink, her eyes glow red, and her hair is darker than her regular appearance. As a Good entity/in her Glitter form, her hair and eyes are shining gold. Anna was born to Elizabeth and Riba. However, Alice, who was in love with Riba, hated that he loved another woman and saw his marriage to Elizabeth as "cheating." In her anger, she killed Elizabeth and burned her house to the ground, planning to allow the infant Anna to burn as well. However, when Riba returns, Alice reluctantly saved Anna from the flames, knowing Riba would never love her if he found out that she killed his wife and daughter.

Once Alice married Riba, she initally acted as though loved Anna dearly, likely to appease her new husband. After she gave birth to Serina, she no longer saw reason to feign affection for Anna and began neglecting and abusing her. Anna, confused at her mother's cruel treatment of her and jealous of the love given to her younger sister, began to resent Serina. One day, she invited Serina to play deep in the woods, by the mineshaft. There, Anna revealed her jealousy, which confused Serina, as she'd never seen her mother treat Anna poorly. Enraged, Anna beat Serina to death with a shovel in the hopes that being rid of her would lead to Alice showing her more affection. When Anna returned to the mansion, Alice immediately asks where Serina has gone. Alice grew furious with her, saying she ruined everything and that she should have left her to die with her mother years ago. She then reveals to Anna that she was the one who killed her biological mother Elizabeth, and that she only saved her so that Riba wouldn't suspect anything. She also reveals that the real reason she gave more love and attention to Serina was that she planned to use her as a sacrifice for her ritual. Anna, horrified at Alice's plans, calls her a monster and begs for her to stay away. Alice retorts that Anna has no business calling her a monster when she killed her sister in cold blood, before killing her. Alice then buried Anna's body within the abandoned mineshaft. Anna quickly grew to regret what she'd done to Serina, realizing Alice's abuse had never been her fault. Seeing Alice kill off everyone who once lived in the mansion, she seals Alice inside of the Music Box so that she won't escape and harm anyone else. Anna appears in several places in the Garden area, in front of the big gravestone, and the ballroom. Mario finds diary entries written by Anna, revealing her backstory. After Mario and Luigi find Serina's body, they are able to help the two sisters reunite and make amends. Anna and Serina will then work together to re-seal Alice in the music box in the Better Off Lost ending. If Mario and Luigi help Anna, but don't bring the sisters together, Anna will attempt to seal Alice on her own, but she makes a mistake and seals only half of Alice and half of Mario, allowing Alice to take control once again in the Puppet ending.

In the insane route, Anna appears in one of the rooms in the basement. Mario first hears Anna's footsteps as he enters a room, paranoid, Mario stabs her in the head, though it doesn't harm her at all. The player then has to choose to either Calm Down or Snap. Choosing snap will lead to Anna showing Mario a vision of Luigi asking why Mario killed him, causing a grief-stricken Mario to bang his head till his death. In the sane route, Anna's role is filled instead by a fake Princess Peach.

In both Insane & Sane routes, Anna was helping Mario to get the key symbol in order to get through the mansion at the Underground sewer. The Sane route ending reveals she sealed Alice's spirit in the music box on Riba's orders.

Beatrice (Scissor Girl):

She is a hostile spirit who once acted as the "imaginary friend" of Anna. Beatrice is revealed to be the scissor girl in (Mario) The Music Box Remastered, as the previous version she was unnamed.

Beatrice is a young girl in appearance with brown hair. She is wearing a blue and white colored dress, with circular shaped patterns similar to a flower's petals near her neck and arms. Her most noticeable physical trait is her seemingly empty eye sockets, when in reality she really has eyes but they are all dark colored as a mean to be unsettling for the player. She also had a different clothing attire in the previous version.

Alfred and Emi Watchmaker

EMI: She is the sister of Alfred.

Alfred: Alfred is a neutral character in (Mario) The Music Box. He is the butler of Alice's family and one of the victims rumored to have disappear inside the mansion prior to Mario's investigation. He is first encountered when Luigi gave him a photo of Rosa. He explains what happens to him the others. He somehow afterward turns hostile to Luigi in the Omitted Memory ending for getting an engagement ring to Rosa, and when he comforts him. In the revamped version of ARC, it's revealed that his and his sister Emi's last names are Watchmaker, meaning his full name is Alfred Watchmaker.

Rosa

Rosa is a women working as a maid in Alice's Mansion. She is the love interest of Alfred, the butler, and one of the victims who disappeared along with the rest of the family members prior to the events before the plot takes place.Rosa is a young brunette woman with bright skin, blue eyes, and wearing a maid outfit the consists of a dark blue shirt and white apron. She also has a pair of two hair bands matching the color of her shirt on both the sides of her hair.

As a spirit, Rosa can possess another being and have commit whichever act she desires while doing so; she demonstrates this ability twice in two different game over scenarios in the base game should Luigi fail to appease her spirit, either beating Mario to death or hanging him. She more prominently possesses telekinetic powers that allow her to twist and move any objects she desires; she demonstrates this in a third game over sequence in the base game where, upon having Luigi failing to appease her spirit, she takes levitates Mario's body and painfully thrashes it around in the hallway and contorting its shape in unnatural ways all the while. She also displays this in the ARC Expansion's revamped demo where she replaces an anonymous spirit whose role was to similarly murder Mario in this fashion. Rosa's full appearance is only encountered during the Omitted Memory route. She is found in second floor in the room before the bathroom where Luigi first meets Alfred. Rosa provides information to Luigi that Alice's is the reason why the house had been cursed. Rosa remembers that Alice had fallen in love with a man she cannot remember, and they had a child together. Alice was planning to use her daughter as a sacrifice so she can live forever with her beloved husband. Her purpose for possessing Mario was to use him as living body so she could continue her ritual. After being questioned by Luigi on how he can save Mario, Rosa gives him her doubts that it's already too late. If Mario has already lost most control of his body, the only option is by killing him to prevent to Alice from escaping. She requests Luigi to help her remember the man who once loved her and gives him a ??? Key. After Luigi takes on her request and finds the following items, he presents her with an Engagement Ring and a Letter left by Alfred. Rosa is filled with joy that Alfred was going to propose to her at some point and that he even left an apology letter for her. In return, she thanks Luigi by rewarding him with a bottle of Holy Water that will dispel Alice's curse over Mario for the time being and happily passes on to the afterlife.

ENDINGS:

OMITTED MEMORY: In the original version, Mario and Luigi confront Alice in the rooftop of her home, with a dead corpse of Riba. When Luigi tries to confront Alice by questioning her, Mario warns Luigi to get away from her, but Luigi is soon knocked unconscious in the process, and Mario must face her alone. The player is required to fill a gauge 3 times to defeat her. Luigi regains conscious after the battle is over and notices Alice's spirit begins to grow out of control. Mario believes the only way to stop her is to provide her with a host to contain her spirit before it spreads throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, with that host being his own body. Luigi objects to Mario's idea, but Mario's has already made his decision and bids Luigi farewell by telling him to watch over the Mushroom Kingdom and Princess Peach. Mario disappears into the darkness with Alice and knocking Luigi out again. He and wakes up in Princess Peach's castle with Princess Peach sitting right next to him. Luigi asks her where his brother Mario is, but the princess responds with having no idea who Mario is, and that Luigi has never had a brother. She believes Luigi has gone crazy and suggests, a doctor has a look at him. Luigi rushes out to his room to prove of Mario's existence by searching through his photos. Soon he realizes all the photos of Mario disappears one by one.

Later that night, Mario's spirit enters Luigi's room in his sleep and removes all memories of his own existence, figuring this was best for Luigi to forget all about him. The next morning Princess Peach visits Luigi and tells him the doctor is ready. Luigi doesn't understand and Peach recalls him going crazy over someone named Mario. Luigi doesn't remember yesterday's events but somehow gets a feeling his heard Mario's name before. In the remastered version, Alice teleports Mario to an unknown location, challenging him to a final showdown. Mario hears the voice of Marchionne, not knowing who he is, telling him to use the holy water. The boss battle uses a target system, with the player having to fill up their gauge of holy water. A bar appears, most of it being red, with a small section of green, and a yellow arrow moving across the bar. The player must land on the green part for the attack to land, with Alice doing the same, although there is high likelihood of her attacks missing. Mario defeats Alice, but is overtaken by the curse. Determined to prevent anyone else from getting hurt, Mario uses his body as a host for the curse in an effort to save everyone. Luigi wakes up in a white space, with Mario in front of him. Mario states that he needs to stay behind to prevent the curse from spreading or attaching itself to Alice. He says his goodbyes, sending Luigi away. Mario tends to the newborn baby Alice in his arms, planning on giving her a better life. The rest of the Omitted Memory remains the same, but a secret scene after the credits shows the fate of Mario and Alice. They're both in a new reality Mario created, separate from the main one. Mario has spent the last few years raising Alice as her father, having grown fond of her. Alice has grown from a baby to a young child. Unfortunately, Mario can't stay in this reality forever. He must return to the mansion, otherwise the world he's in will crumble. One night, while the two are stargazing, Mario says his final goodbyes to Alice, stating that he will watch over her as well. Alice, now all alone, strives to be a strong independent woman when she grows up, for her Appa Mario. Beyond this section contains the other possible endings. These endings can be achieved when the player heads downstairs instead of upstairs after Mario and Luigi have reunited.

MISSING ENDING: In the original version, Mario is surprised that the front door has reappeared. Luigi tells Mario that that's where he came from when he came to the mansion searching for Mario. After the brothers attempt to leave, Mario gets a strange feeling that he's forgotten something and needs to return to the mansion. Luigi tells Mario that he's out of his mind. Mario will become possessed by Alice and stab Luigi with a knife. Luigi will call out to Mario as Alice pierces the knife deeper into his wound, and leaves him to die on the road as she returns to the mansion. The next scene shows a newspaper of Luigi being discovered "dead" in front of the house and Mario has gone missing. In the remastered version, the same events play out, albeit with slightly different dialogue. Mario, before Alice takes control of him, questions if anything he's seeing is even real. When Alice stabs Luigi and leaves him for dead, Luigi accepts his fate. Rather than his fate being ambiguous, it's led to believe he does succumb to death. The newspaper end screen is removed and replaced with Luigi reaching out for Mario as he walks back to the mansion. Layla appears, stating that this is not an ending, that we have reached the "Arc," alluding to the story's continuation, Mario: The Music Box (Arc).

SEALED ENDING: Mario & Luigi finds a switch and they activate it, thinking it will open a new pathway for them. But the whole mineshaft ends up collapsing, barely being able to escape. Alice takes control of Mario and tries to kill Luigi, but someone comes and knocks out Mario. Luigi continues traversing the caves to try finding his brother. It is then revealed that it was Riba who knocked out Mario. He is seen holding a piece of cutting glass. He then reveals his true intentions of completing the ritual and finally escaping the mansion. Luigi finds Mario, unconscious, as the ritual begins. After a quick scuffle with Riba, Alice awakens. As revenge for what he did before to her, she kills Riba in cold blood. Luigi faces off against Alice in Mario's mindscape in order to save his brother. Anna comes in and begins to seal Alice into the music box. However, Alice tells Luigi that Mario himself will go with her. Mario then falls from the edge of a cliff and Luigi fails to save him. He leaves the mansion and tells Princess Peach about what happened to Mario, but she doesn't believe him. A search party is sent to the mansion to find him. They find Mario where he has fallen. He was found dead and Luigi held on his corpse, crying. Mario is dead, with his soul sealed in the music box along with Alice. In the remastered, this ending stays the same, aside from more visuals and more details on Luigi making his way back home. Mario and Luigi try to escape the mines, however, Alice takes control of Mario and tries to kill Mario, but gets knocked out and taken away by Riba, Riba brings Alice to an altar and finishes the ritual. Alice, now Malice, proceeds to attack Luigi within Mario’s mindscape. Upon defeating Malice, she vengefully sends Mario falling off of a cliff, with Luigi being too late to save him. Luigi the sullenly makes his way back home to the Mushroom Kingdom, where he informs Peach of Mario’s untimely death. After searching for a bit, Luigi finds Mario’s body, and cries in agony. As for Mario and Alice, their souls are now to be forever confined within the music box.

PUPPET ENDING: When Mario and Luigi go left, they find a wire that blocks their way. Luigi tries to cut it with his hand, but it hurts Luigi's hand. Mario is able to cut the wire with a knife. They find a letter from Alice saying how she got a disease that shortens her life span. She said that she has decided to take Serina's body for the ritual because she wants to let Anna have a break. After that, Mario and Luigi encounter Anna's corpse where she was buried by Alice and the spirit of Anna appears in front of the two and says that she doesn't have to explain why she has been killed. She then reveals to Luigi that Mario's body has been taken hostage by Alice. Mario then asks Anna why did she kill Serina and she answers by saying that she was jealous because Alice cared about Serina more than her. She thought that killing her own sister would make Alice love Anna again, but she has ended up killing Anna. Mario aggressively tells her that killing Serina wasn't the answer. Anna then hurts Mario's head and confesses that she has to kill him, so Alice will not be able to escape. Mario shouts to Luigi to show the photo to Anna. She looks at the photo and the letter, after reading it and discovering that Alice had a disease, her soul is freed and cries apologizing that she killed Serina. She then disappears and Mario and Luigi proceeds. The rest of the events leading up to the final battle against Alice take place, except Mario doesn't get sealed in the music box. Luigi succeeds in doing saving Mario and seals Alice inside the music box, or so they think. The two brothers escape the mansion, with Mario feeling an eerie presence within him. They finally return home and sleep. But the player controls Luigi again, who has woken up in the middle of the night. He finds that Mario is awaken too and asks him why he awake so early. Mario has no response. A cutscene appears with Mario's eyes covered and a evil smile. Alice's laughter is heard with Mario asking Where his daughter is​. The game then ends with the credits. In the remastered version, Anna knocks out Luigi to speak with Mario directly. This interaction affects how her arrival after the final boss. Anna seals half of both Mario and Alice's souls inside the music box, while the other halves of both of them remain in Mario's body. As a result, Mario feels empty and becomes susceptible to Alice's control. During the night Luigi awakens, only for Alice to kill him in cold blood by stabbing him in the neck. Alice goes on to puppeteer Mario's body, beginning her plan to purge the world.

COWARD ENDING (Smart Ending): After breaking into the mansion, Mario at first decides to look around for something to light his way. However, he has second thoughts and decides to just leave the mansion altogether and head home. Mario gets an ominous feeling about the place and decides for his sake that despite never knowing what events took place in the mansion, it's better he not find out what exactly.

COWARDICE ENDING: Luigi, feeling the mansion's negative energy decides to leave, assuming Mario already left, being unaware of the events transpiring in the mansion. The fate of Mario, Alice, Riba and the rest of the spirits remain unknown.

COMATOSE ENDING: Layla appears in front of Luigi, stating that there is a door out of the mansion and that all he needs to do is get rid of Rosa and Alfred in order to escape. After setting Rosa's spirit free and obtaining the holy water, you will obtain the first half of the key. Rather than using the holy water to dispel Alice's spirit from Mario's body and head down the path of the Omitted Memory ending, Luigi instead erases Alfred's spirit and obtains the second piece of the key, allowing the door to be unlocked. The two are finally able to leave, but at a costly price. Due to not using the holy water on Mario, he remains in a comatose state, not being able to move. His eyes also remain a glowing green, since Alice is still inside of him. Luigi desperately tries to find any sign of Mario being alive and that his condition will get better, to no avail. Luigi contemplates killing Mario and putting him out of his misery, immediately begging Mario's lifeless body for forgiveness for those thoughts. Unable to do anything to help Mario, he can only cry on his brother's lap. Mario remains in comatose, and whether he is ultimately put down or spends the rest of his life paralyzed remains unknown.

TRAGEDY ENDING: In the remastered version, Riba manipulates Mario into being used for the ritual, stating that if he gives up his body for Alice, Riba will protect Luigi from her wrath. Mario agrees to make the sacrifice to save his brother. Meanwhile, Layla tells Luigi about the ritual currently happening and Luigi rushes to stop it. Riba suggest Luigi leave, letting the ritual take its course. Rather than choosing to stay and face off against Malice when the ritual is completed, Luigi chooses the coward's way out and walk away. Luigi, questioning his decision, wanders the caverns. Eventually, he stumbles upon the exit and heads back to the Mushroom Kingdom to get extra help and begin a rescue mission to save Mario, but it's too late. He discovers the sky is red and the landscape is ravaged in fire. Layla mocks Luigi for his cowardice, stating that he had caused the end of the world. Alice, puppeteering Mario's body, successfully spread her curse and plunged the world into apocalypse. Luigi is left in tears, devastated on what his choice cost the world.

BETTER OFF LOST ENDING (TRUE ENDING): The majority of events in the Sealed/Puppet ending remain the same in this one. Alice, in control of Mario, kills Riba. Luigi faces off against her to save his brother. Unlike the other two endings, Luigi is able to successfully and completely remove Alice from Mario's body, but she still isn't sealed in the music box. Before leaving the mansion, Alice's spirit appears and begs for the two to not leave her. She just wanted to be free and kill Riba for revenge. Mario says he always forgive and forget. He then breaks the music box for Alice to be free. After that, they arrive home and Mario burns the journal. He doesn'​t want to remember about the mansion anymore and that nobody needs to know about it. Luigi accepts the promise and the game ends. In the remastered version, this ending is considered the best ending, no longer being a true one due to Len's powers revealing there are alternate timelines. The events remain mostly the same, except that both Anna and Serina as glitter form stop their mother and contain the curse together, and Alice is freed while Mario and Luigi are making their way home. The secret scene that plays after the credits, and if all journal entries are collected is Riba celebrating his freedom now that Alice's curse is gone. Layla appears and taunts Riba, prompting him to chase after her. Riba gleefully hunts Layla down, stating the gory ways he'll kill her, only for him to stumble into a trap. Layla led Riba to the forgotten town of Evangeline, where the spirits of Marchionne, Luciano, Misery and the other residents and people he hurt are waiting, ready to torment him. Layla warns Riba to "run away like a coward.".) 🖤Len🖤

Len Alwenia Foska, known as the Cheshire Cat in Wonderland, is the overarching antagonist of (Mario) The Music Box. She appears in both (Mario) The Music Box Remastered and (Mario) The Music Box: ARC and serves as both an enemy and an ally depending on how you play the game. She is a witch and the creator of Marchionne's Brooch, Aurora's necklace, Helena's ring, and the music box. Her origins are unknown, but due to her magical powers that can range from wish-granting to reality alteration, it is likely that she is some sort of divine entity, if not God herself. Marchionne even suggests this as a possibility in the Continuance #4 Ending. She can turn into the form of a cat, and it is revealed at one point in the Insane Route that she was one of the original cursed twins, probably with the other twin being Layla.

Len's appearance differs between her different forms. As a human, she has white hair and white skin, and resembles a young girl, though she is much older than she seems. In her cat form, she has black fur. One striking similarity between the two forms is that she has different colored eyes, one is blue and the other is yellow.

In her Wonderland version, she is a mix between both her human and cat forms. She does not have her hooded coat, which reveals white hair that has been tinted blue at the edges and a pair of blue cat ears. Whether she also has these ears under her hood in the main game or whether said ears are real and not artificial are currently unknown. She now wears a blue dress. She also has a gold earring with a long chain and a piece of jewelry at the end on her left cat ear. In Wonderland, she also seems to take on a vaguely more adult-like form. Since she rarely appears in the games and there is scarcely any information given regarding her past, Len is one of the more enigmatic characters in the game. She always wears a stoic expression on her face and rarely expresses her emotions, if at all, which only add to her mysterious aura. It is hinted that Len may look down on humans, as she once questions how the residents of Evangeline are foolish enough to believe that Marchionne's death would be beneficial to them. While Len may not be necessarily cruel, she, however, does not show compassion towards humans, as she had no qualms with sending Mario to what seems like Purgatory. She only perceives humans as simply objects that assist her in her research in human behavior. She may even sometimes see humans as toys, since she revives Mario after he dies in her boss battle simply because she thought his death was "boring" or "disappointing." Len may also be slightly pessimistic, as she states that hope is for fools.

In Wonderland, she still maintains her goal to complete her research, but her personality has now changed noticeably. Instead of constantly wearing an expressionless face, she now has a more varied set of expressions, her most commonly seen expression being a sly smile. Len is shown to have a more sadistic personality, since she likes to watch the pointless suffering created from political feuds and smiles when she kills Sündige Nacht and manipulates Mario to wish for power, leading to his downfall. She also once removed Mario's voice and smiled cruelly, knowing fully well that it would put him in danger. She also states that she will relish every moment of Mario's repeated suffering in Wonderland. Thus, in a sense, Len's personality has become somewhat similar to Riba's initially cruel personality. Len has now been given new quirks as well. Len has no interest in political matters even though she has vast influence and power by just simply possessing the diamond suit. Len also prefers to avoid questions and is easily annoyed by them, to the point where she simply took away Mario's voice in order for him to stop pestering her. Len appears in (Mario) The Music Box Remastered as her cat form and serves as a way to block Mario from traveling up the stairs in the mansion at different points in the game. At first when Mario interacts with her, she only acts like a cat, but after Mario interacts with her enough times, she begins to speak. Mario can then do one of four things: ask her who she is, what she is, say nothing, or ask about the experiment. The first two listed options returns a one dialog box response that does not truly answer the question asked, and the third option returns nothing. The fourth option however, results in Len asking if Mario really wants to know about the experiment. If he answers yes, Len will kill him, stating how he is no longer needed and that she prefers her "subjects to be ignorant of the truth". In (Mario) The Music Box: ARC, Len's first appearance in the Insane Route is when you leave the Evangelisti's home after getting the Brooch Fragment hidden there. She assumes her cat form, and Mario notices that she has one of the Brooch Fragments in her mouth. She runs from him, and he gives chase. He follows her through the Silent Forest, and meets her again in the basement of the Unknown Residence that Riba is in in the 2nd District of Evangeline, where you can exchange the Dead Fish Mario found at the Memorial for the Brooch Fragment.

Mario meets Len once again in the Old Aduraice Home when Marchionne takes Mario's spirit from his body in hopes to make him fade away. After finding the False Book on the second floor, she will appear in cat form once again and send Mario back to his body. After this, if you read the note Alice was looking at before the ordeal, it will trigger a flashback to Riba and Alice's wedding, where they receive the Music Box as a present from Len, who both of them do not know.

If the player does not kill Riba after talking to him, showing the Green Headband and giving him the apple, Len will appear near the end, freezing time. She will assume her human form and reveal how she met Marchionne and gave him the Brooch that allowed him to be reborn as Mario. In exchange for him being reborn, he became her test subject, for the purpose of studying human behavior. She also tells Mario how she witnessed Marchionne's execution. She says how every time you load a save, you create a new iteration of Mario and the world around him. After this, Mario will break down and realize that this entire ordeal had nothing to do with Alice or the Music Box being cursed, and commences Len's boss battle. If the player decides to play through the game without saving once, Len appears in the Star Ending in her cat form, presumably because she is the one who restored Mario's old life. She says that since Mario decided to not save, it means that Mario does not rely on the saving system Len provided for him and thus does not need Len anymore to save him. By not using the saving system, Mario is free from the cycle Len put him in, and thus, Len does not need him anymore. Mario, back in his old life, is now able to live with freedom.

In Wonderland, it seems that the letters Mario finds on the ground are written by Len, since the tone they are all written in aligns with Len's personality. Len then personally appears immediately after Mario activates the bridge. She disappears, then reappears later when Mario is captured and put in prison by the Queen of Hearts. After explaining to Mario how he can escape Wonderland, Mario continues to give her questions. Annoyed, she decides to take away Mario's voice so that he will not be able to bother her anymore. If Mario does not find his voice in time and is executed, Len will appear behind Sündige Nacht, who is lamenting about not being able to save Mario sooner. Len says that Sündige Nacht's efforts to save Mario and escape Wonderland are futile. Sündige Nacht is indignant, and says he only ever wanted to be reincarnated in his old world and not Wonderland. Len then kills him, saying that since Mario is deceased he is no longer needed. If Mario finds his voice and survives to defeat Sündige Nacht, Len will appear behind Mario. Mario, seemingly oblivious to her presence, is manipulated by Len into wishing for power instead of wishing to return home. Len smiles, thinking about how Mario still fails to break the cycle of suffering within Wonderland that he wanted to be so desperately free from. She wonders when one of the various iterations of Mario will come and finally break the cycle. She dismisses the thought, and says that she will relish in Mario's pain until the very end. For more information on these two endings from Wonderland, go to the Murder and Corruption endings on the page Endings.

🤍Layla🤍

Layla is a white cat appearing in Mario The Music Box remastered version. She first appears at the end of the extended demo, talking to Riba in his head and giving him advice to help Mario despite Riba's reluctance to talk to her. After Mario gets possessed by Alice, he goes into panic, but Riba calms Mario down by talking to him and then gives him a hug before he falls asleep. After Riba reads a ritual book about how to obtain immortality, Layla appears and greets him. Riba realizes that she is the voice that was in his head and asks who she is; Layla gives Riba her name and tells him that she is his guardian angel to which Riba coldly tells her that he doesn't need an angel. Riba then tells her to leave him alone and get out of his head, but Layla replies that he, in fact, does needs her because it was only through her that Riba was able to save a life, and she adds that she is glad that Riba helped Mario. Layla then asks Riba what he will do next to which Riba says he will do nothing and simply wait. Layla then reveals to Riba that he will die today. After that, the demo ends. In the secret scene of the Better Off Lost ending, Layla interrupts Riba's celebration of freedom after Alice passed on. She then traps Riba by bringing him to the forgotten town of Evangeline, and tells him that the people he hurt, including Marchionne, Luciano, and Misery, are disappointed and angry at him, as they get ready to kill him. The scene ends with Layla telling Riba to run away like a coward.

Layla has a similar appearance to Len's cat form, although she is not black, but white, and her eye coloring mirrors Len's. Her human form is shown to be also similar in appearance to Len's human form, the differences being that she has black hair instead of white, with her eye coloring remaining the same as her cat form. Layla, like Len, can willingly switch between her cat and human form. Not much is known about her now, but it is suggested that Layla is Len's twin (since Len was one of the cursed twins). If this would be right, Layla would most likely be the twin with great power, while Len would the twin with great misfortune.

🖤Marchionne Evangelisti || The Sin Of Gluttony 🖤

Marchionne has a similar appearance to Mario, as he has the same mustache, hairstyle, hair color, body type and eye color as him. Unlike Mario, he wears a black suit and a black tie with a white shirt, doesn't have a hat on and is rarely seen in any other clothing. He often has a stoic expression on his face. His appearence was relatively unchanged in the Revamped version, though he now also wears a golden brooch shaped like a cross on his shirt.

The route you choose greatly affects how Marchionne treats the player. In the Sane Route, Marchionne becomes Mario's ally, and often assists him. For example, he comes to Mario's aid when Luigi attempts to kill him. However, in the Insane Route, Marchionne is shown to be cold and callous towards Mario, since he is disappointed to see his reincarnation give in to Alice's influence, and especially disappointed to see him repeat his role in killing his brother. He makes several attempts to kill Mario during the game.

During his life, he was often the complete opposite of his reincarnation: anxious, depressed, scared, and stern. Despite his outwardly cold nature, however, Marchionne cares deeply for the people close to him. In particular he cares greatly about his brother, to the extent of giving him a pocket watch that was a family treasure and originally belonged to his great-grandfather. Even as Luciano insisted he wasn't part of Marchionne's family, Marchionne always accepted him. Marchionne also cared greatly about Riba, particularly after he saved his life from a witch attack. Riba's friendship was one he valued immensely, due to his role as his sole companion for much of his life. Discovering Riba's ulterior motives and losing his supposed friendship hurt him deeply enough for him to attempt suicide.

Marchionne is very religious and believes in the word of God. He greatly despises non-believers and devil worshipers, including witches. This hatred motivates him to execute those he considers in opposition to his religious beliefs, regardless of their true guilt. However, he is not merciless, as he was willing to spare the witch Misery's life and hire her as his maid when she confessed that she never wanted to be a witch. His religious beliefs also damaged his relationship with Luciano, as he turns on him after discovering he had a son out of wedlock, which he considers a sin. Furthermore, when Marchionne spoke to Luciano the evening before his execution, he expressed disappointment in his brother for admitting that he didn't believe in God anymore because of how miserable his life turned out. Marchionne's greatest weakness is how he deals with the dilemma of choosing between his loved ones or his responsibilities as town leader. He strongly believed that he was the only one capable of maintaining order in Evangeline, since his family founded the village. As a result, in most instances he chooses to value his responsibility to the town above all else. His commitment to the town is what led him to use Luciano as a scapegoat in the hopes of saving his own reputation and returning to his duties. Even after years of being stuck as Len's puppet, Marchionne's love for the people close to him never faded. He still greatly cares for his brother, and this can be shown when he saves Mario from Luigi, as he doesn't use any magical abilities and instead sticks to physically holding him down to avoid hurting him. Marchionne spent his childhood in solitude, locked inside and forced to read books. Every day he longed to go outside and play with the other children and make friends, but this was disallowed by his parents who feared he'd be recognized as Luciano's twin. He only encountered Luciano during childhood once, very briefly, which only served to further worry his parents.

As a young adult, he was put under the care of Riba, much to his dismay. Despite not wanting to be "babysat" by Riba initially, Marchionne eventually grew to view Riba as a close friend. Riba gifted Marchionne his cleaver. One day, while the two were out, the witch Dorothy attempted to assassinate Marchionne. Marchionne survived, thanks to Riba protecting him, and the encounter only strengthened Marchionne's prejudice towards witches. During one witch hunt, Marchionne met a witch named Misery, who he spared and hired as his maid. In order to hide her origins as a witch, Marchionne gave her the name Aurora. Aurora eventually grew to love Marchionne, and while he cared for her deeply, he never reciprocated her romantic interest. Marchionne eventually reconnected with Luciano when the two were adults. They developed a close bond, and Luciano allowed Marchionne to experience the things his sheltered childhood had denied him. While Luciano struggled to see himself as part of Marchionne's family, Marchionne accepted him wholeheartedly as an Evangelisti. To show Luciano that he belonged, Marchionne gifted him the Evangelisti heirloom pocket watch. At some point, Marchionne evicted Isaac, Evie, and their daughter Alice from their home. Alice developed a bitter hatred towards Marchionne as a result and began plotting to get her revenge. She eventually discovers Marchionne's secret and tells Riba, who exposes it to the entire town so they'll turn on Marchionne.

Marchionne and Luciano's relationship was deeply strained upon discovering Luciano produced a child with Paisley before they were married. Marchionne grew furious and demanded his brother to leave, saying it was a sin to produce a bastard child. So strained, in fact, that when Luciano attempts to warn him that their secret's been revealed, Marchionne refuses to listen. Marchionne was knocked out after falling down a staircase, and, desperate to save his brother, Luciano attempted to escape with him while he's unconcious. Unfortunately the two were found, and upon waking up, Marchionne proclaims that Luciano was never really his brother, but a witch fooling them all with a spell. He sends Luciano to be burned at the stake, hoping it will put him back in the town's favor. Ultimately, this attempt fails, and Riba has Marchionne executed via guillotine for his many wrongdoings. Leading up to his execution, Marchionne was overcome with guilt and grief over causing the death of his brother. Prior to his execution, he was approached by Len. Len gave him a brooch, telling him it would grant him one wish, in exchange for becoming a test subject for her studies of human nature. Despite knowing the use of magic would make him a witch, Marchionne accepts, becoming the Witch of Rebirth, and allowing himself, Luciano, and Aurora to be reincarnated as Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach.

In the Insane Route, when Mario arrives in the ruins of Evangeline, Marchionne repeatedly torments him. He's enraged at his reincarnation for giving in to Alice, as well as for killing Luigi, as he's essentially repeated what he did to Luciano all those years ago. He forces Mario to face his sins through the Sin Trials, then faces off against him in the final boss battle.

In the Continuance 4 ending, he takes over Mario's body following Mario's defeat by Len, and goes on to live a new life.

In the Sane Route, Marchionne's role is greatly reduced, aiding Mario as he explores Evangeline. He also reunites with Luciano, admitting his wrongdoings and apologizing profusely. Luciano accepts his apology, and their spirits are finally able to rest.

Cleaver–That weapon was given to him by Riba, but he has a hard time even carrying it, with Riba promising him to help train him and teach him how to use this weapon. After that, he will come with this weapon and use it.

Powers and Abilities:

Being the ancestor of Mario and the witch of Rebirth, Marchionne is an extremely powerful and deadly entity, if not the most dangerous one in the Insane Route of Arc (with the only competition in that regard being Riba and Alice). Marchionne has shown to be the most powerful witch among everyone else in-game, with the exception of Len herself.

Superhuman Physique: Marchionne is much more physically impressive than a regular human being, possibly even more so now that he's a witch. Since he is Mario from a former life, it is reasonable to assume that he is just as physically capable as him. In the Sane Route of Arc, Marchionne had enough physical strength to temporarily hold back Luigi (someone who's been able to physically overpower Mario several times before). And additionally Marchionne has plenty of endurance, being able to still talk with Mario for a few minutes, even after being fatally struck down by him.

Magic: After becoming a witch and obtaining the brooch from Len, Marchionne became a highly skilled magic user with a bunch of different powers and abilities, making him much more powerful than even Helena or Misery. Here's all of the abilities that he has shown thus far:

Lightning: Marchionne has the ability to summon lightning attacks, as shown in his boss fight at the church.

Light summoning: Marchionne is also capable of summoning beams of light to disintegrate opponents.

Shadow casting: As shown in the Insane Route when you investigate Marchionne's home, as well as throughout the seven deadly sins trial, Marchionne has the ability to create false shadow images of himself or others, and use them to interact with others or attack them.

Reality Warping: Marchionne has shown to be able to warp reality itself. At the end of the insane route, Marchionne manages to turn the inside of the church into a seemingly multi-layered building with several different trials for Mario to go through. Also in a death scene where Mario tries to run away from Marchionne down a set of stairs, Marchionne causes the stairs to disappear and Mario to fall into endless darkness.

Dream Manipulation: Marchionne has the ability to influence and manipulate dreams, as well make sure they last forever and the victim never wakes up. This is shown in a death scene, where Mario falls asleep in Marchionne's home and finds himself dreaming of having a picnic with Luigi and Peach. However in actuality, Mario is sitting in a dark room with their dead corpses and is eating them, and Mario is blissfully unaware he's consuming flesh.

Barrier casting: Marchionne is capable of creating barriers to prevent people from entering or leaving certain places. He does this when he first encounters Mario in the Insane Route, keeping him from leaving the house to catch up with Riba.

Shapeshifting: As shown in the the second phase of his boss fight, Marchionne can shapeshift into a giant figure. In this giant form, he is capable of grabbing and crushing Mario to death with his bare hands.

Cloning: As shown in the game, Marchionne can create several manifestations of himself. He first demonstrates this ability when he saves Mario from Luigi, creating another manifestation of himself when Luigi cuts off his head. And he also frequently does this whenever he's leading Mario to somewhere important, like a house he needs to go to or to the church to either confront Riba or himself.

Necromancy: As mentioned by Alice in the insane route, Marchionne has used necromancy before. In fact, it could be likely that all of the spirits haunting Evangeline are there by his own magic.

Rebirth: With the power of the brooch that Len has given him, Marchionne managed to ensure that he would be reincarnated into a new life with Luciano and Aurora (giving birth to Mario, Luigi, and Peach).

Darkness summoning: Marchionne has the ability to summon a ray of liquified darkness to drown his enemies, as shown in the final phase of his boss fight.

Blade summoning: Marchionne is also capable of summoning sharp blades and projectiles out of nowhere, which he also demonstrates in the final phase of his boss fight.

Conscious removal: Marchionne has the ability to remove a person's consciousness out of their body, which renders it completely useless and unable to be possessed. He demonstrates this ability on Mario during the insane route, which forcibly removes both Mario and Alice's souls out of his body.

Telepathy: Marchionne is capable of telepathy, being able to project his thoughts to Mario, giving Mario memories and flashes of his past life. And in the Insane Route, he uses this ability to tell Mario to come to the church and also frequently says "Failure to accept thy sin shalt end in death," whenever Mario falls any of the trials.

Telekinesis: Marchionne has the typical ability that every witch possesses, and he's able to use telekinesis. He demonstrates this in the Continuance 4 ending, where he lifts Riba up off the ground and chokes him to death.

Pain Inducement: Marchionne has the ability to inflict pain on others without even touching them, as shown when he confronted Mario at the guillotine where he was executed.

Time Manipulation: Marchionne has demonstrated the ability to manipulate time. He is capable of controlling an object or person's movement speed, either slowing them down or greatly speeding them up. Additionally as shown in the Drown ending, Marchionne can straight up freeze time entirely, which he does to stop Mario from drowning.

High-Intellect and Expert Strategist: Marchionne is extremely intelligent, possibly from having had to spend his entire childhood reading books, and additionally he's a great strategist. In his earlier life, Marchionne has led many different witch hunts and successful executed plenty of witches (or people he considered witches). Additionally Marchionne also has knowledge on how the human body works, knowing that without a conscious to operate a body, it becomes a useless husk that's completely inhabitable to any spirit. And he does this to Mario, after his first attempt of making Mario take his own life failed. Marchionne is also quite clever and capable of outsmarting his enemies as well. In the after credit scene of the Missing End F ending of Wonderland, Marchionne managed to get the drop on Riba and stab him in the throat, after he attempted to ambush him, by using a fake decoy to fool Riba.

Combat Prowess: Marchionne is an expert with a blade, having been trained by Riba years ago. In the past, Marchionne has managed to fight and kill several witches, and in the first phase of his boss fight, he uses his swordplay and magical powers to try and overwhelm Mario.

Determination and Willpower: Just like Mario, Marchionne has an impressive will to never give up, even when a situation looks hopeless for him. This trait is explicitly shown in his boss battle. Even though Mario depleted Marchionne's health in both his normal and giant forms, he still decides to shift into his true witch form and continue to fight Mario, determined to beat him.

Deception: For a long time, Marchionne has managed to lie to the whole town of Evangeline and keep his twin brother a secret from everyone. However, he was discovered. Marchionne, as a desperate attempt to avoid execution and to preserve Evangeline, deceived the town by saying his twin brother was a witch and tried to kidnap him.

Expert Manipulator: Marchionne is capable of being an expert manipulator, possibly even better than Riba. This trait is shown in the Insane Route where he takes advantage of Mario's own guilt, and nearly makes the plumber kill himself via self-hanging.

Possession: As a spirit, Marchionne is capable of possessing the living. He does this in the Continuance 4 ending. After Len pulls Mario's soul into purgatory, Marchionne possesses and takes control over Mario's body so that he can live again.

Mario is Marchionne's reincarnation/iteration, hence why they both share similar features. The route the player chooses will affect Marchionne's interactions with Mario. Luciano was Marchionne's twin brother. They were both separated at birth due to religious reasons. They both have a great brotherly friendship regardless of their separation, though it unfortunately fell apart due to the circumstances. Marchionne still cares deeply for his brother, though the fact that he caused his death caused Luciano to become vengeful and filled with hate, trying to kill him and attacking Mario as revenge. In the Sane Route, however, Marchionne is able to reconcile with Luciano, who forgives him.

Aurora works as Marchionne's maid ever since he had spared her life in a witch hunt. Although Aurora holds deep feelings for her master, he simply doesn't return those feelings due to his status as a clergyman. She secretly tries to win Marchionne's love but it always seems to go over his head. Regardless, he still deeply cares about her even if she sometimes treats him like a child. Why he had spared her life during the witch hunt is unknown.

Mr. Evangelisti is Marchionne's father and mentor. They both had tension in their relationship, as father and son, due to how strict he was to Marchionne when he was a child. Even with everything Marchionne went through, he still deeply respects his father and continues his legacy, as he promised.

Mrs. Evangelisti is Marchionne's mother. Just like his father, he had a tense relationship with his mother, being equally strict to Marchionne. He still loves his mother more than anything and when his father passed away he was always by his mother's side. He is what would be considered a "mama's boy". After the death of his father, Marchionne's mother fell in a state of grief and apologized to him for the way they raised him. Riba is Marchionne's former protégé and caretaker. He was hired by Mr. Evangelisti to protect Marchionne with his life and to attend to his needs when wished. Marchionne and Riba had a close bond as best friends. Until Alice came along...

Alice was one source of Marchionne's annoyance. She was constantly bothering Marchionne and caused him a lot of trouble. He hated her, even more when he found out Riba was conspiring with Alice. She caused Marchionne's execution by revealing to Riba that Marchionne had a twin brother. Marchionne was executed publicly by Riba via guillotine. Charges were; crimes against his town's people (unlawful executions) and carrying a bad omen (having a twin brother).

💚Luciano Evangelisti\Luciano E. Watchermaker || The Sin Of Sloth💚

Luciano is Marchionne's younger (second born), twin brother. Luciano was considered a "mistake" and a "bad omen" by his biological parents. Usually whenever twins are born the second twin is killed, abandoned, or left to starve. Since the Evangelistis were of high power and regard, they had to keep Luciano a secret, knowing that if the town found out that they possessed a bad omen, panic and disorder would erupt, which would threaten the survival of Evangeline. It was said that his mother hated him so much that she didn't even give him a name. So he was adopted by Mrs. Evangelisti's maid. Mrs. Evangelisti then exiled her and Luciano so that the town would not find out about the twin baby. Luciano is adopted by The Watchmakers, Making Alfred Watchmaker and Emi Watchmaker (Alfred's younger sister

Luciano has a similar appearance to Luigi. Keeping the same features such as a mustache, body type, etc. The only difference is that he wears a collared white shirt with a tan vest and brown pants. He is also shown to have his eyes colored green, unlike Luigi's Blue eyes. In the ARC revamped version, Luciano's skin is tanned due to him spending his life outdoors, and he now has a brown goatee. As a vengeful spirit, Luciano looks like how he looked like during his execution, with half of his face burning with flames. His clothes are tattered, his skin is ripped off, and his left eye is bloodshot.

He has the opposite personality to his current reincarnation Luigi. He is very energetic, brave, outgoing, rarely seen with a frown and extremely positive even at inappropriate times. He is sometimes lazy and teases his older twin in a playful manner. Despite his positive personality, Luciano has led an unfortunate life, since second born twins, according to the omen, are plagued by misfortune. This has given him a fair amount of sadness hidden under a cheerful persona. Some instances of Luciano's misfortune was that he was hated by his own biological parents. He also was in a relationship with a woman named Paisley, but her parents never liked him. When Luciano and Paisley gave birth to a child, Paisley died in the process, leaving Luciano stricken with sadness. Luciano tried to ask Paisley's parents for help, but they ignored him. Since Luciano was not married when his child was born, he had produced a bastard child. Giving birth to bastards is considered a sin, which is why Luciano and his child were driven out by mobs. He and the baby then lived with a farmer and his wife, but Luciano had to abandon his child after the mobs discovered where he was residing. Luciano came to love Marchionne, only to be betrayed by him. Luciano laments and hates how his whole life was nothing more than just more and more bad luck.

Though Luciano is originally shown to be happy, the unfortunate events he experiences in Evangeline begin to make him progressively more melancholy and disillusioned in both religion and the world around him. He begins to learn the stakes he and Marchionne are in. If the town learns about how he's related to Marchionne, both he and his brother will die. Luciano decides to trust Marchionne, and tells him about Paisley, the bastard child, and how he abandoned him. Luciano is emotionally hurt when Marchionne, instead of comforting him, criticized him about committing a grave sin in having a child out of wedlock and told him to leave. Later on, Luciano is distressed to see Marchionne about to commit suicide, and saves him at the cost of nearly dying from the fall, though it didn't improve things between them. Because of those circumstances, their bond became increasingly damaged, eventually resulting in Marchionne sentencing him to death to avoid falling from grace when things are getting very bad, only for him to get betrayed as well afterwards. Luciano spent the final moments of his life emotionally pained and despondent because Marchionne had betrayed him and sentenced him to die. The prospect of his death makes Luciano lament of how his life was nothing but misery. As Luciano was being burned at the stake, he felt a great hatred towards Marchionne, proclaiming that he will have his revenge. This strong hatred could possibly explain why he became a spirit and did not pass on. His hatred has caused Luciano to mistake Mario as Marchionne because of their same physical appeareance, and because he's so blinded by hatred that he's obsessed over getting revenge on Marchionne for betraying him and sentencing him to death, he attacks Mario and attempts to kill him in both the Sane Route and the Insane Route, both directly and indirectly. On the Sane Route, it is inferred that through Luciano, Luigi learned about how Luciano, his past self, was mistreated by Marchionne, Mario's past self, and that because of this, when Luigi comes back to Mario after abandoning him out of hopelessness, his mental state is deteriorated and he has become violent and mentally unstable, trying to kill him and resulting in Marchionne having to stop him so that he could escape. It's heavily implied that the reason Luigi tries to murder his brother afterwards is because Luciano either influenced his mind or took possession of his body, using him to murder Mario for him.

However, in the Sane Route, when Marchionne apologizes and reveals to Luciano that he used magic to be reborn alongside him and Aurora, Luciano realizes that his brother still cared about him and missed him. He forgives Marchionne and the two bid their farewells to Mario and Luigi before passing on.

Powers and Abilities While Luciano isn't at all as powerful as Marchionne, he nontheless is a very dangerous entity in game and he will kill Mario instantly upon coming across him.

Superhuman Physique: Due to Luciano being Luigi from a former life, it is very possible that Luciano is just as physically capable as him. In both routes of Arc, there's a section where Mario is stranded in darkness within a house and must make his way through with limited matches, and if they run out an unknown spirit will come by and kill him (via twisting his neck all the way around). It's very possible that this spirit is Luciano.

Pyrokinesis: As demonstrated in the insane route, Luciano is capable of igniting his spirit on fire and burning anyone that he touches. He does this just to make Mario (who he thinks is Marchionne) feel what he did when he died.

Mario is the reincarnation of his twin brother, Marchionne. In the game, he mistakes Mario for Marchionne and tries to kill him in both routes. In the Sane Route, though, after Luigi tries to kill him (which is implied to be because of Luciano's influence), Mario finds out about Luciano's past, which helps him reconcile with Marchionne, appeasing his vengeful spirit. Luigi is Luciano's current reincarnation/iteration, hence why they both share similar features. In the revamped version, Luciano will meet his descendent and tell him everything about who Marchionne was and that Mario will be abandoning him. Marchionne is Luciano's older twin brother (Firstborn). Even though Luciano found out about being abandoned by his biological parents. He never held any anger nor envy towards his brother for it. He is very happy to be around his brother and always tries to protect him whenever he can. However, a series of bad circumstances causes their relationship to break apart, starting from the moment it turned out that Luciano had an illegitimate child, as his girlfriend became pregnant and died in childbirth before they could marry, and after Marchionne executed him, he was overcome by hatred, vowing that he will get his revenge. Luciano, either through himself or Luigi, tries to kill Mario in both routes with the intention of killing Marchionne, not recognizing them as separate people and being blinded by a vengeful rage. In the Sane Route, however, Mario finds out about their past, leading Marchionne to apologize to Luciano for his past mistakes, revealing that he used magic so that they would be reincarnated and live a happier live together. A touched Luciano hugs and forgives Marchionne, and with his spirit now appeased, they can rest in peace without being burdened by their past. Aurora and Luciano are close friends and both share the same goal of protecting Marchionne at all costs.

Mr. Evangelisti is Luciano's biological father, he once caught Luciano playing with Marchionne in their childhood and was quick to exile him once more and even go as far as threatening him with death. Regardless, Luciano never hated his biological father even after everything he's done. Mrs. Evangelisti is Luciano's biological mother. She held nothing but hatred for Luciano, although Luciano never was angry at his mother even everything she's done to him. Riba and Luciano briefly had an interaction. Riba was always suspicious of Luciano when he noticed he shared similar traits to Marchionne.

Alice once attacked Luciano and accused him of being a witch. Paisley was Luciano's former girlfriend. She had passed away from giving birth to Luciano's bastard son. They both had a close relationship together and even planned to get married before their son was born, but they never got the chance. Luciano loved his son very much, risking his life to save him. Since Luciano was compelled to abandon his child when he was only an infant, their relationship wasn't very intimate. More information about his son is yet to be known. The only currently known information is that though his son still loves him, his son somewhat resents him for abandoning him. Luciano's son is currently trying to find his father. Luciano was executed by Marchionne via burning at stake. His crimes were for "witchcraft".

🩵🕸️Misery\Aurora🕸️ || The Sin Of Lust🩵

Aurora, formerly known as Misery, was a former witch who later became the maid of Marchionne.

Misery first encountered Marchionne on the day he was gifted his cleaver. She spotted him with Riba and fell in love at first sight, believing he couldn't truly be as bad as the other witches claimed him to be. She first properly met Marchionne during a witch hunt. She begged for mercy and explained that since she'd been raise by witches, she'd never had a choice to be anything else. Marchionne took pity on her and spared her life, hiring her as a maid and giving her the name Aurora to hide her true nature. Aurora only fell deeper in love with Marchionne and dedicated herself to taking care of him. Even after becoming Marchionne's maid, Aurora did not completely give up witchcraft. She continued to use her magic to heal Marchionne when Riba attempted to poison him, saving him from meeting the same fate as his parents.

When Marchionne was sentenced to be executed, Aurora, stricken by grief, committed suicide through poisoning herself with belladonna. Aurora bears a striking resemblance to Princess Peach there are many times Mario confuses her for Peach. She has the same features as her current reincarnation but instead wears a maid outfit with black earrings. She tends to be very fragile and love-stricken every time she is with Marchionne. She is kind, smart, and very outgoing. Unlike most of another women, she loves spiders. Whenever Marchionne is upset she will be upset with him.

Powers and Abilities Superhuman Physique: Due to her heritage as a witch, it's possible that she is much more physically capable than a regular human.

Magic: Due to being a witch, Misery is highly proficient in using magic and is a master of many different spells. After becoming a spirit, her power has increased further, making her an extremely powerful witch. This is a list of the current spells she knows

Healing: Misery is quite skilled with using healing magic. As shown and stated in game, she was able to heal Marchionne each time Riba attempted to poison him. Additionally as shown in the brooch fragment, she also managed to heal and restore Luciano after he nearly died from falling off the top of the church with Marchionne.

Telekinesis: Like every other witch, Misery is capable of using telekinesis. She demonstrates in a death scene where she lifts Mario off the ground and explodes his whole head.

Bad Luck-inducement: Being the witch of misfortune, Misery is capable of causing bad luck to come to others. This is shown in the insane route where she causes the Mario to fall through the ground in her home into a cavern full of dangerous spiders.

Spider control: Misery is capable of controlling and manipulating spiders, which she demonstrates in a death scene where she makes a bunch of spiders crawl towards Mario after he reads about her secret, and in her boss fight, she calls a bunch of spiders to attack Mario.

Spider transformation: Misery can turn her entire lower body into that of a spider, growing 8 sharp spider like legs powerful enough to stab through a human body.

Venom: As shown in a death scene in the Insane Route, Misery was able to send a deadly venom into Mario's throat after she kissed him.

Since Mario resembles Marchionne, she tends to be very affectionate towards him. However, the Route the player takes will affect Aurora's demeanor towards Mario. Marchionne is Aurora's master and crush, she is willing to do anything she can to protect him and keep him happy. Even though the relationship is one-sided she still deeply cares about him. Aurora and Luciano are close friends and both share the same goal of protecting Marchionne at all costs. She develops jealousy towards Luciano when Marchionne and Luciano go out together on travels.Riba always was around Marchionne, she was always very suspicious about Riba since Marchionne would get sick often when he's around. Although she had had very little interaction with Dorothy she still highly respected her cousin due to her mastery of the art of destruction. After finding out about Marchionne's execution, she had committed suicide via the ingestion of belladonna (or deadly nightshade) berries, leading to belladonna poisoning.

Elizabeth Addington

Elizabeth Addington is Riba's first wife and the biological mother of Anna. She was born and raised in Evangeline and was alive during Marchionne's reign and execution. Riba had met Elizabeth and was his first true love. Elizabeth is very fragile and would do anything for her husband to make him happy. She adores birdwatching and helped her father run a butcher shop before he passed away. She is murdered by Alice when the latter saw the former and Riba together and was enraged that she took him from her.

Elizabeth has blue eyes, ruby red lips, red shoulder-length hair, a gold bracelet, a green headband with a decorative green bow, a slim fit dress with a dark green buttoned-up corset. Elizabeth has a sweet personality, often caring about others even if she doesn't know them. Although she is quite submissive when it comes to being around Riba. She would prefer to follow his every command just to make him happy.

Riba and Elizabeth had a great relationship with each other, they were both rarely seen upset together and would always be lovey-dovey. Although she didn't know the existence of Alice, she was very afraid of her during the attack. She didn't get to be with Anna very long, but regardless she loved Anna dearly. Elizabeth was stabbed in the abdomen by Alice then her body was burned in a fire started by Alice.

Helena

Helena is a character and a minor antagonist of Mario The Music Box: ARC. She is known as the witch of illusion and was sent by an unknown cult to recover witches' artifacts which led her to her encounter with Mario and Riba. She is what is known as a "Dreamwalker", a being who can manipulate people's dreams.

Helena wears her brown hair in pigtails with black scrunchies. brown eyes, She wears long black gloves, boots, a puffy red dress with yellow decorative ribbons and a large red bow. She is a mischievous witch who enjoys toying with others as seen when she interacts with Mario in routes where Riba is not his ally, and she has been shown with a sadistic streak which is best exemplified when she kills her targets of interest. She does not appear to think much of others whether it be a fellow witch who was slain (Aurora/Misery), her targets (Mario and/or Riba), or the cult she works for. She does express a particular interest in her status within said cult, targeting Riba for the sake of being worshipped as a god within her cult should she kill him. Chainsaw—probably stolen from Mario. It could also be her own weapon.

Envy

Envy is a minor character in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-. It is a manifestation of the concept of envy that appears during the Sin Trials.

Envy is a shapeshifting concept that exists "out of spite." It has no regard for humans and takes pleasure in psychologically tormenting those it comes across. It appears to those who go through the Sin Trials as whoever is most envious of them, though it's true form is a slimy, black, slug-like monster. When Mario goes through the Sin Trials, Envy appears taking the form of Luigi, with butcher elements in reference to Elizabeth as a means of tormenting Alice's spirit within Mario. Envy attempts to kill Mario through various means, but is ultimately defeated when Mario confesses his own jealously towards Luigi.

Dorothy

Dorothy is a young women who is a resident of Evangeline who resembles Daisy. She is considered a witch.

Dorothy almost resembles her descendant to the ruler of Sarasaland, Daisy. With the same eye shape and hair. The only difference is that she had a darker skin with a serious look on her face. She is wearing a dark pink dress with wearing a ponytail on her hair. As she went to the forest and tried to attack Marchionne, Riba killed Dorothy with a knife in order to protect Marchionne. Her attempted assassination of Marchionne is what causes him to become so fearful of and hateful towards witches.

Princess Daisy

Daisy (Princess Daisy) is the princess of Sarasaland and Luigi's love interest in the Mario franchise. Daisy is a young princess who has shorter, red hair, and almost the same size as Princess Peach. She wears a Princess gown that is similar to Princess Peach, with the only difference that it's only colored orange and has a greenish blue brooch that is shaped like a flower in the middle of Daisy's chest.

Daisy appears in the missing end B : Absent ending of ARC. where Mario will escape from the church after defeating Riba, only for Riba to chase Mario down and reveal his demon form. Riba will the corner Mario on the edge of a cliff. Mario, didn't realize he was on the edge of a cliff out of Fear. Mario then falls down the cliff to his death. before realizing he's still alive in a coma. turns out, Daisy found an uncounscious Mario while taking a stroll, so Daisy took him to the hospital. before Riba (disguising as a Doctor) injects poison into Mario's body, killing him.

Issac Aduraice

Isaac Aduraice is the stepfather/adoptive father of Alice, adopted father of Mercy and husband of Evie. Isaac has dark brown hair with green eyes. He wears a light brown suit with a red tie. He was the owner of the mining company which originally built the abandoned mineshaft.Not much is known about Isaac only that loved his daughters dearly and was a rags to riches person. His wife, Evie, was drying out his money and cheating on him (which results in Alice not being his biological daughter, as Evie confessed in a note).

At some point in the past, Isaac worked alongside Riba. When Alice began pursuing Riba, he disapproved of the relationship, fearing she would not be treated well by him.

Evie Aduraice

Evie Aduraice is an antagonist in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-. She is the mother of Alice and wife of Isaac. She appears only in the Test of Wrath. She is also responsible for causing her daughter's villainy. When she was alive, she had blonde hair (same as Alice has), a big ponytail with a black hair tie, blue eyes, dark blue dress, earrings and a necklace with a blue water drop-like gem. She had married Isaac Aduraice, but she was using all his money for herself and cheated on him multiple times (so Alice is not his biological daughter). She always hated Alice, because she was begging for money and food and Evie didn't give her anything and Alice became a burden to her. When Alice grew up, she imprisoned Evie in a cell. Evie first didn't know why did Alice imprison her, but later she came and told her everything. After unknown period of time, Alice had a revenge and brutally killed Evie. She mutilated her face, cut her mouth open, gouged her eyes out and shoved them down the throat. Before Evie was imprisoned, she dried all of her husband's funds and stored them "somewhere, Alice will never find". After the mutilation, Evie is shown as a red spirit probably without a skin, with a big hole in her face, pink hair, massive hands, red shirt, black dress and three (or more) eyes with different colours on her forehead, neck and breasts (their origin is unknown). In the Test of Wrath, multiple spirits of Evie attempt to kill Alice/Mario, but she can't see him/her, because she hasn't got eyes. She also can't hear him/her unless he/she is making too much noise or opens a door out of the room.

Even after her death, Alice is still bit worried about her, because she thought, that she got already rid of her. But she doesn't regret the murder, as she calls her a "vile, disgusting woman" and says that she "would gladly do it again".

Vittoria

Vittoria talking mask, and the Master of Drama. It is carried by an unknown girl with medium long blonde hair, light blue eyes without pupils visible and wearing red and white dress, who can't talk and is the mask's servant, so she must do everything the mask wants. The mask was made to keep it's creator in company, but it has (probably) killed it stabbing his throat. The mask is very violent, and describes it's victims' deaths as "beautiful". Vittoria is a white mask that covers half of it's host's face. It has a wide white smile with red lipstick, black and gold markings around it's eye, curly gold horns, and red feathers. Vittoria is encountered in an unknown residence in Evangeline in (Mario) The Music Box ARC, in which she attempts to kill Mario. If he manages to escape within 30 seconds and avoid all the traps in the hall, Vittoria will let him escape. Otherwise, Vittoria will kill Mario and stab him to death.

Ted and Norma

TED:

Ted is a young girl who has risen as a benign blue spirit. Not much is known about her. She has long hair, wears a dress, and has a missing eye. She was likely a resident of Evangeline. Ted is said to be the older twin sister of Norma within concept art. How the two girls had died is currently not known, although given that they are same sex twins found near the districts of Evangeline, it is likely that they were killed to avoid having the bad omen affect the town of Evangeline.

Unlike Norma, Ted is friendly to Mario and is very helpful to him. First, she places a mysterious plant near a tree for Mario to find it. This plant grants Mario the power to swim in poisoned water. She also saves Mario by preventing Norma from attacking him, saying to her that he found both of Norma's eyes. Norma then becomes a blue spirit. Later on, she meets Mario in another section of Evangeline. When Mario gives her bandages for her eye, she is pleasantly surprised and gives Mario two red herbs as a token of her gratitude.

NORMA:

Norma is a hostile eyeless spirit who haunts the Silent Forest after her death shown in (Mario) The Music Box -ARC-, attacking humans who dare enter her vicinity which includes Mario during his trip to Evangeline. Her older twin sister is Ted as seen in concept artwork of the two (who herself is missing just one eye), possibly indicating that Ted and Norma were unfortunate victims of Evangeline's hatred against same-sex twins. As a spirit, she is shown to have long hair and wears a robe with a ribbon on it, although more specific details of her in-game are unknown due to her appearing as a hostile red spirit. Her most distinguishing feature is her lack of eyes.

Once Norma's eyes are recovered by Mario, Norma attacks Mario, but Mario is narrowly saved by Ted who explains the situation to her younger twin. Ted places Norma's eyes back into her, and Norma transforms into a benign blue spirit just like her older twin. After this, Ted thanks Mario for retrieving Norma's eyes, and the two twin sisters depart. However, should Mario not have Norma's eyes and lose his health against her while traveling in the Silent Forest, Norma will pluck Mario's eyes out from him and insert them into her own empty sockets, satisfied with the eyes she had claimed from Mario; albeit remaining a red color (likely because they were not her own eyes)

Toadson

Toadston is a Toad who is a resident of the Mushroom Kingdom, and one of the Toads who works for Professor E. Gadd. Upon E. Gadd's request, he set out to explore a deserted town called Evangeline, where he was killed due to unknown circumstances (possibly spiders.) His soul is trapped in that town for eternity like other spirits that reside there. Like some Toad residents, Toadston is a yellow Toad who is the resident of the Mushroom Kingdom. He wears a light brown suit with a red tie and has a short mustache. He has blank eyes, possibly to depict how he felt empty after his soul is trapped for eternity. Toadston was a hopeless Toad who is trapped in the abandoned Evangeline almost an eternity. But he was considered helpful to Mario giving him contact lenses to see different sides of spirits with blue as good while the red is considered evil. He only helped Mario just to hope he'll survive so that he would tell his family that he is no longer here in the living world.

LOCATIONS:

Evangeline: Evangeline is the main setting of (Mario) the Music Box -ARC-. Centuries ago the town disappeared all together and became abandoned after all of his residents died which only their spirits remain around due to Marchionne's magic.Evangeline was a small town controlled by the deeply religious Evangelisti family. The people of Evangeline believed very strongly in the Bad Omen, leading to Birino and his wife Eva's panic after the birth of their twin sons, Marchionne and Luciano. As such, Luciano was handed off to the sister of William Watchmaker, and the two were exiled to avoid raising suspicion around Luciano's origin. Sometime during Marchionne's young adulthood, Birino hired Riba to watch over his son and aid in preparing him to take over his position as town leader. Over time, Marchionne and Riba developed an unsteady friendship, with Riba eventually gifting Marchionne his giant cleaver. One day, while the two were out, they were spotted by a witch, Misery, who fell deeply in love with Marchionne. When she told her cousin and close companion, Dorothy, about her newfound crush, however, the other witch was not pleased. Dorothy warned Misery that Marchionne and his family hated witches and would kill them without hesitation. Dorothy, fearing for Misery's life, attempted to kill Marchionne before he could harm her. Dorothy's attempt fails, and she's killed by Riba.

This assassination attempt instilled a deep paranoia and hatred towards witches in Marchionne, driving him to become a fierce witch hunter. During a witch hunt, Marchionne once again encounters Misery, who pleads for her life. She tells Marchionne she never wanted to be a witch and that she wants to start a new life. Marchionne takes pity on her and allows her to live, hiring her as his maid and renaming her Aurora. Unbeknownst to Birino, Riba was plotting to take the position for himself, poisoning and killing Birino and Eva. He attempts to do the same to Marchionne, but Aurora uses her magic to heal him every time. At some point after becoming town leader, Marchionne reunites with Luciano, and the two quickly form a deep bond. When Marchionne discovers Riba was behind his parents' deaths and attempts suicide, it's Luciano who saves his life. Their relationship is strained when Luciano tells Marchionne about his life before returning to Evangeline and confesses to having had a child out of wedlock.

Riba finally gets his chance to take down Marchionne thanks to a young Alice Aduraice, who, enraged at Marchionne for evicting her family from their home, tells Riba the town leader's deepest secret - he's a twin. Luciano gets word of their secret being revealed and attempts to escape with an unconcious Marchionne, but is caught. Marchionne awakens and upon realizing what's happened, proclaims that the rumor of him and Luciano being twins is a lie, hoping to save his own reputation. He accuses Luciano of being a witch and putting a curse on him to fool him into believing they were brothers. Luciano is burned at the stake for the accusation. Marchionne's attempt to save himself ultimately fails, and he's sent to the guillotine.

Evidently, Evangeline survived for some years after the fall of the Evangelisti family, presumably under Riba's control. It is in Evangeline where Riba met and married his first wife, Elizabeth Addington, and where Elizabeth gave birth to her and Riba's daughter, Anna Addington. Alice, now an adult, fell madly in love with Riba and was enraged when she discovered his wife and daughter, percieving the relationship as Riba cheating on her. In a jealous rage, she stabs Elizabeth and burns her home, intending to leave baby Anna to burn in the fire. When Riba returns home earlier than expected, however, Alice rescues Anna to not arouse suspicion towards herself.

The exact events leading to Evangeline's downfall and abandonment are unclear, though it is in a thoroughly decayed state by the time Mario (and in the Sane Route, Luigi) visit. A curse has been placed on the town causing all who died there to remain trapped within it's borders. Toadston is one such example, having been killed during an attempt to investigate the town's mysterious disappearance.
