Scripulous Fingore is an internet meme claiming to be an unused enemy found in the ROM of the Nintendo DS game New Super Mario Bros.. The meme depicts a white nut-form ghost with a pointing hand and a light indigo cheek.

The meme became viral since its first appearance on April 23, 2021.

In 4 days, the Tweet got over 20,000 likes and and 3,800 retweets.

On April 24, 2021, Twitter user @pynnion posted a photoshopped screenshot of Super Mario Maker featuring Fingore, alongside custom sprites of him in all of the game's game styles (with the sole exception of New Super Mario Bros. U).

On April 25, 2021, @AKoolKoopa posted on Twitter showing a photoshopped screenshot of Super Mario 64 DS, featuring the same model as the one from the first tweet to feature him.

On April 26, 2021, @bros_ellis tweeted 4 edited screenshots of Fingore appearing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Paper Mario, Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario Advance 4, gaining over 2,900 likes and 560 retweets in a day.

Legacy
Various Nintendo fans parodied it as a common unused enemy from other Nintendo games.

In order to prevent vandalism, the TCRF subpage for the unused enemies in New Super Mario Bros. added an invisible comment, telling contributors to not add info about this enemy due to it being a hoax.
