AnotherCastle is a character by @TheWinterReaper. He was made on March 18, 2022 and was originally made for fun, but then became a fully fledged out character.

Overview

Biography
AnotherCastle is a entity who possesses the original Super Mario Bros games, of those whos relative, friend or partner goes missing. He appears in the castle stages at the end, where toad normally would be. He starts off by saying "Sorry (Players name), but (Missing person) is in another castle", he continues with "I can show you where they are, do you want to see them?". The player will be given a "Yes" or "No" option. If the player chooses yes, the player will die within 12 hours by a natural disaster, a sickness or being killed AnotherCastle himself. The place they died will be filled with the smell of rotting fungus and fresh blood. Later after the player dies, the missing person will be found alive again. If the player chooses no, the screen will go black and turn back on, showing a police report of the missing person found dead, and the area where they died will be filled with mushroom spores and a awful smell. Though if the player decides to not answer AnotherCastle with in 20 minutes, the game will turn off, and AnotherCastle will disappear.

No one really knows why he exists or how he exists, he isn't made of code, he isn't a soul trapped in the game and is seeking revenge, and he isn't a creature from the void or anything. He is simply there without explanation, like an anomaly. He only shows up in the games of people whos relative or loved one has gone missing, there isn't an explanation why, other then its the way he catches his prey. Using something they love against them, just so he can kill another one. It anyone saw AnotherCastle with their own eyes, would it be worth to tell anyone? No one would believe them anyways.

The surviving one out of the player and the missing person will start getting side-effects from what happened, these side-effects include mood swings, insomnia, loss of appetite, asthma, fungi on their body, voices in their head and hallucinations. Most of the hallucinations they see are of AnotherCastle, the hallucinations doesn't seem to harm the person, but rather stalk them from outside the window, between trees and outside the corner of their eye. Most of these people have just been called insane, as there is no proof that AnotherCastle exists, and no one would believe them that he exists.

Abilities

 * Multitasking - AnotherCastle can be in multiple games at the same time, meaning he can't be occupied by one person.
 * Immortality - AnotherCastle can’t be killed cause he appears within a cutscene, and doesn't count as an entity. If he was killable, he would just respawn in a game once someone goes missing.
 * Regeneration - AnotherCastle can regenerate limbs after losing them
 * Mimicry - AnotherCastle can change his voice and personality to resemble anyone.
 * Shapeshifting - AnotherCastle has the ability to shapeshift, though he can only shapeshift to play with someone's fears. Though he has to always resemble Toad in some form of way.
 * Your world, his rules - AnotherCastle doesnt follow the rules of the normal game or other EXEs. No matter which rules a EXE can make and change, it doesnt apply to him. But he does have his own set of rules that he is bound to and cant change, so he isnt just playing god.

Weaknesses

 * Lack of missing reports - AnotherCastle can't appear if no one goes missing.
 * Game bound - AnotherCastle cant physically harm a real life thing, as he is bound to the game. Though this is an exception when he is triggered by the yes option.

Trivia

 * AnotherCastle can appear in other Mario games where Toad appears in a cutscene. And example is Super Mario Bros. 3 in "Toad House". He can also appear in games that already has an EXE inside it, and he can also appear in Rom Hacks and Pirated copys.


 * He only has three fingers on each hand.


 * AnotherCastle has been seen interacting with other entities. He seems to get along with Toads and Princesses, but has a clear interest in Princess Peach characters. He seems more gentle, caring and sweet towards them, and likes talking to them.


 * AnotherCastle only refers characters to the name of the person trapped within or playing the character, and instantly knows their name and lots about them just by meeting them. If he meets a character who doesn't have soul, spirit or player, then he cant get info from them instantly, and has to talk and interact with them to learn about them.


 * You cant get rid of AnotherCastle, he isnt bound to the rules of death. AnotherCastle will come back everytime his conditions are met, if you manage to get rid of him, then you have only gotten rid of one out of infinite others that appear when triggered.
