Scripulous Fingore is a fictional character that allegedly appeared in the files of New Super Mario Bros. for the DS, characterized by its unsettlingly long fingers and spindly yellow body. Despite appearing to be an official piece of Nintendo beta content, it was actually created as a high-effort hoax on Twitter by user @shmunguss in early 2021. The meme plays on the 'Every copy of Mario 64 is personalized' urban legend, mocking the internet trend of claiming to find lost, creepy, or 'uncovered' content in classic video games. It has since become a staple of internet gaslighting and surreal gaming humor, often photoshopped into various gaming environments to confuse and amuse viewers who are in on the joke.
