The Chocolate Factory

The Chocolate Factory is an anomalous level that exists within any cartridge of Super Mario Bros. for the NES. The Chocolate Factory is not attached to an entity or living being, but is in-fact an entity itself.

Biography
The Chocolate Factory is much different compared to most other EXE's mostly due to it not having a true form of any kind. It is not malicious, and has a rare chance of loading during any castle level in the game. The exact percentage is unknown.

Behavior
The Chocolate Factory is extremely large and vast, but most of it remains unexplored due to the time limit in the game. The Chocolate Factory is seemingly infinite, constantly loading new obstacles and enemies. This would normally be impossible due to the hardware limitations of the NES, but the anomalous nature of the level somehow breaches this limitation. There have been multiple boss sections of the level discovered, all of which are exactly similar to the boss stages in the base game, with the exception of some difficulty changes (Example: Some versions of Bowser do not breathe fireballs or throw hammers, while some other versions have shown Bowser throwing a large quantity of hammers, so large in-fact that it causes the game to crash.)

The timer of the level varies, but the common time limit is 200 to 400 seconds. Another common characteristic of The Chocolate Factory is the lack of pupils on all enemy sprites, and a brownish-orange tint to all objects.

Abilities
The Chocolate Factory's ability to infinitely generate brand new sections and obstacles to itself is its primary ability, but it has also been confirmed that it will sometimes reuse segments from levels in the base game. The difficulty of each section varies, as the difficulty curve fluctuates jarringly. It is currently presumed that The Chocolate Factory is impossible to beat due to the time limit in the game, and that the level can ONLY be accessed on real cartridges of Super Mario Bros.

Weaknesses
The method of getting rid of The Chocolate Factory is extremely simple. The player simply must restart or shut off their NES console.

Trivia

 * The Chocolate Factory has been discussed since its first discovery, and has been deemed a hoax due to no pictures or videos of it in existence at the time.
 * It is theorized that The Chocolate Factory may be sentient due to a message that replaced the game over screen on one occasion (see image below). Any methods of getting this message to appear once again have failed.
