-*The theme that plays during the battle with the first Shunned Guy is a remix of a horror movie-style theme that played earlier in the game when Mario first witnessed a Slurp Guy draining color from a Toad.
+*The theme that plays during the battle with the first Shunned Guy is an arrangement of a horror movie-style theme that plays earlier in the game when Mario first witnesses a Slurp Guy draining color from a Toad.
-*The first Shunned Guy encounter, in its entirety, is a tribute to the horror genre, particularly horror movies: The entire room leading to it is quiet except for an eerie ambient track; the scene which introduces it shares lots of qualities with the typical reveal of a horror monster, from the ominous slow camera pan to the playing of a single chord at the right moment to underscore shock; even the "unnatural" way in which it bends back is a reference to possessed people or humanoid creatures doing the same in supernatural horror. In contrast, in its later appearances the enemy is presented more like a disgusting insect, a pest to be exterminated.
