3D World: A Mario 3D world creepypasta

3D World

Hello dear reader, I hope this finds you well. My name is Tobias, and I am 11 years old. I have always been a sucker for Nintendo games. Every time a new console would come out, I would always beg my parents to get it, of course, I wouldn't get it right away. But I would earn it. The year currently is 2013. Super Mario 3D World came out only 2 months ago, I now have the game, but... I wish I never got it…

First, a little bit of background, I was born in 2002. My first Nintendo console was the GameCube,  this was when my love for Nintendo began. I would be getting every single piece of merchandise from Nintendo, and basically everything. A year ago, the Wii U came out. That was my dream console at the time, when I told my parents about the console, they said “You’ll just have to wait for Christmas”. I was doggone furious! I wanted the Wii U so bad, and so did my sisters, Amaya and Samantha, they both loved Nintendo like me. So this wasn't a big surprise. I wound up getting the Wii U early for doing lots of chores and getting lots of money from relatives, so, I obviously used my earnings to buy a Wii U. I created a Mii, which, I didn't put a whole lot of effort into, it was the normal boy Mii, just, I gave it red hair, and named it, “Pooltrailin”. When I was done, my parents made a Nintendo account for me, and I joined Miiverse. I chatted with some people on Miiverse, saying a bunch of garbage. Then some of the launch titles for the Wii U. A year passed, and I had just turned 11, a couple months passed before I heard of, Super Mario 3D World. When my sisters and I saw a new Mario game, we flipped! Not in a bad way, but we were so happy. A couple more months passed, and eventually, the game was released! My family and I were waiting for the game to come out, and when midnight struck, we finally got the game! My sisters and I, were so excited to play, but we had to go to bed. I will skip to the part.. when everything changed. The day was 7/6/2013, and we had just beat the game, July 6th was the day, our family would come over to our house for two weeks, it was a tradition that ran in the family. This year, our house was chosen. I just found out about the 4 unlockable bonus worlds. but... There was a fifth,  the world name had a skull next to it, so I will refer to it as “ World Skull”. the world was strange, the ground was a bunch of dying grass rocks, fire was in the background, and there was only one level. The world wasn't very detailed in my opinion, just as I entered the world, the text box saying I had unlocked  Rosalina appeared. What the Heck? you have to beat Star World to unlock Rosalina,  I haven't even touched the other worlds yet. I went to select  Rosalina. As I selected the character, a text box appeared. The strange thing was, it was written in binary. I went on my laptop, and searched for a binary translator, of course, I found one. I translated text and what came out was something not expected.

"I sory! but you cant do tha! not until I hav destroyed the entire popalashinn! they as called humns will die!"

What was that? That sentence was all over the place! Not to mention the grammar was horrible! From what I could tell, the sentence was talking about killing people. Really? In a Nintendo game? Binary code talking about killing innocent people. I wanted to shut the game off. Something was very wrong with it. I knew this would never happen under normal circumstances. Before I could shut the game off, I was told to greet my cousins at the door. There was Max, the tech-savvy one, his sister, Sophie, the spoiled brat, and Max's older brother, Doug. Max followed me upstairs, and what we saw was horrible.

The game changed from the character selection screen, to a close up of Rosalina, but she wasn't the same.

 Her dress was red, her eyes were a pitch black void, the same went for her mouth, which was just a smile. Max and I, we were confused, and petrified. I now knew there was something clearly wrong with the copy of Super Mario 3D World. I took a look at the disc case, at this point, I had finally noticed that the title on the case only said, “3D WORLD” Instead of “Super Mario 3D World” like it should. Could this have something to do with the game, why the game was so wrong? I had my doubts at first, but then, I realized, this game wasn't official. No, Nintendo would never add something like this into their kid friendly video games. A sick, twisted, individuals had to have hacked the game, put it on a disc, and shipped it off. The image disappeared, and I had no choice but to play level one of World Skull, so I did, the level didn't have much detail. it was just a pathway to the flagpole, the background was black, and the ground was just concrete pavement. All I had to do was walk to the flagpole and that was that, but that wasn't the case,  there was someone standing in front of the flagpole, I got closer, and realized it was the same Rosalina I saw that close up. Everything from the eyes, to the dress, all the same. then, a dialog box, that most video games use, appeared, it read, with red letters.
