Super Mario's Castle Fun

One day I was looking around eBay for unreleased games. While looking, I found a game called 'Super Mario's Castle Fun' for the SNES. I was a massive Mario fan growing up, and knew all of the titles in the Mario series, but I had never heard of this release. I opened a new tab and searched on Google Super Mario's Castle Fun. There were 0 results. Quickly, I looked back at the eBay page. The seller had 100% feedback, and the price of the game was very cheap. I wondered why the seller would sell such a rare game for that cheap of a price, and I thought it was a scam. But it was only a couple of dollars to lose, and curiosity got hold of me so I had to buy it.

Surprisingly, it came in the mail, 3 days later. When I opened it, the cartridge was a picture of a happy Mario in Peach's Castle. I put it into my SNES. The moment the title screen loaded, it was apparent that the game was barely finished, as I had expected. It was a black background with some red text saying, 'Start'. I pressed start. The game opened to a field. In the field was a barely recognisable Mario who had no face. I thought this was obviously because it was a very early prototype, but I realised other things were out of place such as the goombas, they were flying and had no eyes. I made Mario go over to the goombas, but he couldn't jump high enough to get to them.

Realising there were enemies on the ground, I made Mario jump on them. When I did, the enemies splatted with blood and I could hear multiple 8-bit voices talking to me. They said things like, 'You monster.' I immediately jumped from my seat and went to turn the SNES off, but the power off button wasn't working. A text appeared on the screen saying,

"Mario has been convicted of murder. He has died in the electric chair."

I was surprised, Nintendo had never taken a realistic approach to any of their games, and I started to piece together why this game was never released. I went to unplug the SNES from the socket when I heard a voice from the console. "Are you scared, Charlie?" I didn't have a clue how this game knew my name. It should have been impossible for a gaming company to find out my name and program it into the game, but I shrugged it off as coincidence. I unplugged the SNES and took the cartridge out. The picture on the cartridge had changed from a happy Mario in Peach's castle to Mario crying blood surrounded by dead bodies. I ran into my back garden with a lighter and set the cartridge on fire. Just as the last part was about to be burned I heard another voice from inside my head.

"You are scared, Charles."
