I had a weird dream of a Mario Kart anti piracy screen last night, it went something like this: I was sitting in our living room floor with our Wii turned on, and I was playing Mario Kart, and half way through the race, the message, "Unable to read the disc contents, restarting game" popped up and started making a loud blaring noise. At that moment, I'm practically screaming, "Oh shit, oh fuck, this is a pirated game, this is a pirated game" as I'm smashing the disc to pieces and trying to dispose of it. Then I woke up and wasn't able to fall back to sleep.
This is perfection in the anti piracy world. Most anti piracies I’ve seen are just aiming for fear. You look at these and you immediately know that it is fake. Now something like this is better because it looks real. If I was a kid and saw this I would freak out. Realism is more important than fear. You perfected this. This is one of the top anti piracies. This compares too: Mario Party DS Numberjacks Nick Jr 2 Good job.
This is a great anti piracy screen, it isn't over the top, but is enough of a shock to surprise you. As a kid I distinctly remember playing Mario Kart Wii on a scratched disk, which meant that at any moment the game could turn to this black and white error screen telling you to turn off the console and read the manual (it wasn't an anti piracy screen, but just an error screen). That screen was enough to scare me back then because it could come at any moment, and would be a major change to the bright colours and upbeat music I was expecting. My point is that it isn't what's actually in the anti piracy screen that makes it scary most of the time (unless the devs go above and beyond to terrify the children playing the game), but the fact that it's different.
