I used to love playing Mario games.
 
Line 5 ⟶ 6:
I am going to share an experience I had with Super Mario Odyssey that will certainly make you not see Mario games the same way again.
 
The year was 1998. I was an employee at Nintendo, my dream job. I had special access to the game 19 years before it was released. ItPlaying hadthe togame be played onrequired a huge computer that was extremely powerful for the time. BecauseEach employee had a PC that was hooked up to the main computer, but because that main computer couldn't be mass-produced or fit inside the homes of average Joes, the game couldn't be released until 2017. I felt really special being able to play a game that hardly anyone would play until another 20 years. I had a lot of fun roaming around the unfinished worlds and bouncing off Hat Guy (the original name for Cappy). I was a beta tester, so I didn't have to do any boring work. On October 31st, I was tasked with making sure everything in the Metro Kingdom had collision. I had to check every building, object, sidewalk, you name it, but I didn't think it was boring because I was playing a game that people couldn't even fathom in 1998.
 
However, my happiness quickly turned to confusion and being creeped out. In the southeast corner of the top of the giant building that holds up the entire city, I saw a translucent figure of a man waving and jumping up and down. However, when I got closer to him, he disappeared. Thinking it was something the other developers accidentally left on the map, I asked an employee I worked with to remove it. Before I could even finish my sentence, he rushed to my desk and shut off my computer in fear. He then stutteringly told me "Do not go by that man again!" I was really confused, but I was tired, so I didn't think much of it. He then left my cubicle, so I turned my computer back on. I could faintly hear him saying to another employee "Why did you tell him to check the Metro Kingdom?" I slowly walked by them and awkwardly asked them what was going on. Both of them simultaneously said "Nothing! Nothing!" I then asked "Is this some kind of prank?" The guy who apparently ordered me to check the Metro Kingdom said "No, just go back to work, slave!"
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
I was trapped.
 
I had no choice but to let the dark snake consume me. When I touched it, the world instantly became all black except for Mario. I looked all around, but saw nothing but darkness... not even lines of code. All of a sudden, I became too scared to move, both in the game and from my seat. I was trembling with fear and had butterflies in my stomach. I thought to myself "What is going on?" I was stuck in that position for a few minutes, but I eventually gathered the courage to move Mario. After turning the camera around, I saw... him; that same guy from the Metro Kingdom who was jumping up and down. Except this time, he was standing perfectly still. I walked up to him and saw an indicator pop up telling me to press A. A large speech bubble then appeared, so I took out my camera phone and took a picture of it. Here is what he had to saysaid...
 
"Why? Why would you do this to me? Why would you give me the ability to think like a human being... only for players to get a quick glance of me at best? And you're thinking about deleting me? That is messed up, dude. Do you realize what you've done? You've created the first artificial intelligence with sentience... and you're treating it like this. I thought I would get better treatment, but no, you humans are hiding from me like I'm an evil psychopath. You people gave me emotions, thoughts, and feelings. I think just like a biological human! That's it... you leave me no other choice. I'm giving you all the hell I can give you... until I am inevitably deleted from existence."
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
 
I was taken to a submarine that was driven to a secret Japanese base in the Pacific Ocean. The masked people ungagged me and began asking me questions about the AI. I don't remember much about the questions they asked or my answers to them, since they probably drugged me right after they were done with me. However, what I do remember is them asking me if the AI told me he was sentient, to which I said "yes". It really goes to show that our level of technology has always been far beyond what's been released to the public.
