Mar-asite

Mar-asite is a parasite that found it's way into a beta copy of Super Mario Bros. 1. It now seeks prey.

Biography
Our story begins at Nintendo of Japan (the head of Nintendo). It was a normal day at the office, in 1985. SMB1 was about to release to the public, and many were excited to see the content. Meanwhile, in a storage closet down deep in the headquarters, lies a copy of SMB1. It was a beta copy, and it had been down there for a while. Then, a parasite had jumped onto the box where the cartridge lied. Then, it snuck into the game, and manifested itself inside of it. An employee had found the cart a few hours later, rushing it into the cart of games to be boxed and sold. An innocent, yet old 15 year old had bought the game, because it was launched and he was sure it would be fun. This individual was Marcus. He was a HUGE fan of Mario, every since his debut in Donkey Kong. He was super excited to play his new game, so he rushed home, turned on his NES, and started playing. He noticed something though, this looked a little... unfinished. He also realized he was playing as Luigi, the second Mario brother. The hud said so as well. Intrigued, he continued on with the game, and he reached the flagpole, as you would normally do. Then, he saw Mario standing right next to the castle, and he was happy to see the man in red. But then, he noticed Mario's clothes were torn, and his hair was a mess. His eyes were dilated, so much to the point where the normal shape of his eye was turned into a 2x2 square. Mario then started chasing Luigi, and Marcus had no control over the game. He was a little scared, until he saw what laid ahead. Many Mario heads were sticking out of question mark blocks, pipes, even the ground. Luigi ran like his life depend on it, because it did. Then, he reached the beginning of the level, where there was a pipe ahead. He ran straight into the pipe, and hid there. Mario crawled into the pipe, and crawled after Luigi. Luigi got out from the other end, and ran off. Luigi ran through multiple (10) levels that were crawling with Mario hands and strange tentacles. When he finally reached a castle, he let Marcus take control again. Marcus navigated his way through the castle, with tears in his eyes. Luigi reached the bridge, only for Mario to be standing right behind the axe. There was a bloodstain on the bridge where Bowser would have been standing, and Mario's face was covered in blood. And then, Mario said: "I am-a so sorry my brother. I am-a just-a so hungry..." Mario then pulled the axe, and Luigi fell into the lava, crying for help. There was nothing Marcus could do except watch. Mario turns to Marcus, saying: "You were-a to late... MARCUS." The system then turns off, and Marcus is left speechless. He heard a knocking at his door, and a package arrived. He opened the package, for a note that read:

"Dear valued customer, we do believe you have a copy of: SMB1 that you are not supposed to have. Please return it in this box immediately.

-Nintendo of Japan."

Marcus tried to take the game out, but it wouldn't budge. He then tried unplugging the console, and it wouldn't unplug. The NES and TV turned back on, and Mario said:

"Not so fast Marcus. I still require food, and you seem like the PERFECT meat for my sandwich. Why don't you join us? WE'RE ALL WAITING."

Marcus wasn't heard from ever again. Some say he became the meat for the sandwich. Others say he went into hiding from this cursed copy. So whatever you do, do NOT play this copy of SMB1. EVER. Unless your deathwish is to become a sandwich, or another food Mar-asite craves. Stay safe people, and have a good day/evening/night.

Abilities
He can grab his prey and pull them into the NES. He can't change the way he looks too much, but he can make clones of himself, which allows him to make the CLONES look however he wants. He also has an unending appetite, so he will eat anything he can. He is a nice guy though, if any EXE were to meet him (especially STARVED) they just might become good friends.

Weaknesses
Mostly just being beat. Sometimes he isn't a good sport, so he'll do anything just to win.

Trivia

 * Did you know: The color scheme for BETA MARIO is just Mario's clothing? It might be hard to notice, but it is true.
