The Mario Game
One day, I was sitting in my room, bored. I looked around for ideas, but I had already done everything. Then, I saw it, my 3DS, I decided to play it. I rummaged through the games in my game case and finally decided on "Super Mario 3D Land." I put the game in, and scrolled through the menu, then, back to the game. I hear the annoying Mario voice, ugh I hate his voice. I waited for the colorful game to start but instead, it was... Starfox? I couldn't believe it, it brought me to the star fox 64, 3DS menu.
I could feel myself making faces of confusion, then I turned it off and decided that it must have been some kind of glitch, or mod, or whatever, but it was weird. Back to the main menu, everything normal, it clearly was super Mario 3D land. Just to be sure, I popped the game out and looked at it, yep, super Mario, clear as day. Oh well, time to play, I inserted the game back in and once again heard the catch phrase, still annoying, I clicked open to start the game. Softly praying to whatever, I really hoped it would go to Mario, but nope. I absolutely could not believe it, The Legend of Zelda??? I don't even own a Zelda game, I've never played one, but the game was famous enough for me to recognize it.
I turned it off again and restarted it, Sonic, it actually brought me to sonic generations, oh my god. I repeated the cycle of turning it off and on, each time a different game for at least a half hour, then I turned it off and decided to go think this out. I took the game out and put it on my bookshelf, right next to my bed. I didn't really think of it much till the next day at school, it was Friday and life felt good, yet the game kept coming to my mind. I finally decided to make sure I wasn't crazy and got my friend to come to my house after school, he lived nearby. Once we got to my house, I seemed way more anxious than he did, but he would be soon enough. I ran into my room, sat down on my bed and grabbed my 3ds. I patted the space on the bed next to me, inviting him to sit down. He sat down and I grabbed the game, I turned the 3ds on, "Okay now you got to see this.' I showed him the game, "So you see what game this is right?
"Super Mario 3D land." He replied, "Yea, so", "Well watch this!" I put it in and listened to the voice of Mario, I can't stand it. When I started it, instead of playing the game, or any game for that matter, it was just a red screen. I looked over to see my friend's reaction but he was surprisingly calm.
I asked him, "Do you see this?" he said no, "Seriously", before he could respond I heard a weird "Swooshing sound" and saw that the screen appeared to be zooming out.
It was so weird, the red appeared to have some kind of realistic texture to it.
My friend snapped at me, "Are you going to play it or just stare at the menu all day?" "What, are you kidding me?" "You don't see the red screen? " "No, what are you talking about" Whatever, forget him, this is creepy.
Finally, on the screen, there was a white M, wait a minute, it was Mario's m on his hat! It zoomed out more and it was Mario, he looked weird though, he looked half way between G-mod and real life, it was creepy. He said one of his many catchphrases "It's a me Mario", creepy.
As I was anxiously awaiting what would happen next my friend got up and yelled, "Ok, that's it your crazy" "No, wait don't you see this?"
He was about to say something but I interrupted him with a scream, "Ow, the friken thing just burned my hand?" "What are you talking about" "Go ahead, pick it up." He did," "What, what's wrong with it." I quickly grabbed it and looked at it, normal, I started the game and it started up normal, unbelievable.
We sat back down and he watched me play for a minute, everything was fun. I had almost forgotten about how weird it had been until, the screen froze, this wouldn't be that weird any other time but after what had happened, I was scared. I set it down and my friend looked confused, "Dude are we done playing, at least pause the game if not." "Are you serious, it's frozen, I can't pause it." "Are we going to do this again man, that's it I'm done with your stupid joke." "No wait, yea were done playing." I took the game out of the 3ds and put it in my pocket. "One more thing", I grabbed my axe deodorant spay and my dad's grill lighter.
"Let's go outside, I need to burn something." He knew what I wanted to burn and nodded "Ok, if you hate that game so much than whatever." We went outside and I threw the game on my driveway,' this is going to feel good. "I sprayed the game for about ten seconds and lit a twig to drop on it. It started burning a blue-ish green flame, whatever, I don't even care anymore. I continued to spray it on and off until I was out of spray. I kicked the horribly deformed remains into my yard and stepped on them. My friend went home and I went inside, I ate dinner, watched some YouTube videos and went to sleep.
Saturday morning I woke up, happy to be rid of the game, I smelled pancakes. I walked out of my room and into my kitchen, expecting to see my mom making pancakes, no one there, there weren't even any pancakes. "That's weird." I went back to bed and laid down, there was a lump under my pillow, "What the heck." I reached under it and felt around, I gasped as I felt my 3ds, which I clearly saw on my shelf just a minute ago. I nervously inspected it, looking for anything weird, "What the... there's a game in here." I took it out and before I could look at it, it burned me. I dropped it and looked in horror, it was the game, Mario. I let out a huge scream and stomped on it repeatedly.
I took my foot off as I heard a laugh, Mario's laugh. When I looked down, I was yet again, surprised, it wasn't there. My mom flung my door opened, "What, what's wrong with you." I couldn't explain, "I, I burned my hand on my lamp." She rolled her eyes and left. I thought to myself, "Good improv." I looked at my hand which I really had burned and gasped, there was an m, an m with a circle around it on my hand. "Aw crap." "MOM!" 'I heard some sounds and she came in, "What's wrong?" "Do you see this mark on my hand" She walked over, turned the light on and looked at it, "Nope, it looks fine to me." "Don't you see the M on it?" she made a weird face at me, "Um, no." I breathed heavily for a minute and told her to forget about it.
I ran to the bathroom and started to wash the mark, I used everything in the bathroom, rubbing my hand dry. Nothing, it was as if the mark wasn't even on my hand, it was like a hologram, I couldn't touch it. Ever since that day, nobody has been able to see my mark, few people believe me, or at least, few people say that they believe me. Sometimes, I hear the voice of Mario, laughing at me, taunting me, but I usually ignore it. I will never forget this experience, mostly because I can't, because every time I look at my hand, I remember, "It's a me, Mario", I hate it.
