Super mario Lost (reupload for archive)

Introduction Mariolost.png
I found this game in my old garage at my childhood house. It was a disc that had "Super Mario Lost" written in sharpie on it. It also had a mysterious snes rom file that when put on a emulator/real snes, had a very disturbing mario game that didn't even feel like a mario game. It felt like more of a haunted snes cartridge. And contained some things that would manifest in the player's real life. Today, I show my story of "Super Mario Lost".

How and Why I got the game
It should be obvious how I got the game. I went to my old garage at my childhood home to look for my old SNES and Nintendo 64 games. I found a disc that had "Super Mario Lost" written in sharpie on it. Why I got it in the first place is because I was really curious. Super curious. Since I didn't remember this being in the garage when I was younger, I got (of course) curious and took it back home, with a few of my childhood games.

Beginning of Story
I headed home and popped the disc into my PC. After that, I looked for the files. I eventually found them. It was a .SFC file (snes rom file). It was titled, "Super mario lost". At this point, I was thinking of putting it on my snes everdrive. But then I decided to go download "Snes9x", and play it. So I did that and loaded the rom file.

At first, It seemed like a normal mario game. Goombas, koopa troopas, bullet bills. Until I got to "3-2". That's when things got a little weird. Not like crazy weird, but still a little strange.

It was a normal athletic level, until I got around to the middle of the level. For a second, the music stopped playing, and a couple eyeless cheep cheeps jumped up to around below the platform I was on. I thought nothing of it though and continued on. But then at the end of the course, something strange happened.. The same thing happened as before. Eyeless cheep cheeps jumped up and the music stopped for a second. It was weird, but I finally completed the level. Nothing strange happened there. "Just a bug", I thought.

But then I got to 4-3. Same exact theme as 3-2. Again in the middle of the level, almost the same event happened. Instead of the music stopping, the music reversed for a second. And there was red text flashing "TURN BACK". At this point, I didn't even know I was playing a "Mario" game. But unlike 3-2, nothing happened at the end. I just completed the level with no other occurrences.

Middle of Story
This is where things get a little spicy and juicy.

I was in 5-3. Just about to get to the end. When something creepy happened.

A dark mario, floating, looking like he hanged itself spawned behind me. The music reversed and I, mentally and physically, became scared. The dark mario began swooping at my character. I say "character" and not "mario", because I wasn't even sure I was playing a mario game. Having red text flashing "TURN BACK" was enough for me. A dark mario entity wanting to kill me? That was insane.

Back to the story, the level began to expand further then It's original layout. But there were no gaps or enemies or blocks. Just me and this dark mario swooping at me every microsecond. Then the level turned nighttime and the game flashed text at me saying "LOOK BEHIND YOU". I looked behind me, ingame. Then text flashes at me saying "NOT IN THE GAME FOOL". So then I turned back in real life.

A dark mario, similar than what's ingame appeared behind me in real life. It was squirting blood out of it's eyeballs at me.

I ran away. But then, it disappeared.

I ran back to my computer and checked the time. 3:00 AM. I was shocked. Something was bound to happen to me at this time of this day.

I decide to run from the shadow mario. Ingame. The game then flashed yellow text at me saying "Scary, huh?". Inside my mind, I thought "Yes, I know". Then the game flashed text back at me saying, "I read your mind. You said yes".

I was shocked, "How do you know my thoughts?", I thought inside my mind.

"You don't want to know it.", The game flashed back at me

Then a strange thought came to me. "What if the game is dark mario?"

Then the game flashed back at me. "I AM DARK MARIO!"

The game turned off. I looked behind me. Dark Mario was there.

I ran as fast as I could. I ran straight outside and hid in my garage. I was hyperventilating. Then dark mario showed up.

The entity punched me, and I blacked out...

Ending of story
I was in the hospital. The doctors tried to get info on how I blacked out

Doctor: "What were you doing?"

Me: "I think, I was playing *ow* a mario game"

Doctor "What game?"

Me: "I think a dark mario punched me."

Doctor: "I don't be believe you"

The doctors, obviously didn't believe me. They didn't believe me so much that they thought I was faking it.

Doctor: "I'll let you go".

So then I was out of the hospital. I went home and smashed the disc, and threw it away.

That is how this all happened. End of story. Goodbye.
