Mario.ai

Mario.ai is a Super Mario Bros. inspired EXE created by Karlson Games on September 3rd 2022

Biography
Mario.ai is an advanced AI possessing a very specific cartridge of Super Mario Bros developed in the Nintendo Headquarters. AI was originally used for bug fixes or testing the game’s performance, but was replaced with a playable Mario instead after Shigeru Miyamoto told Kazuaki Morita that the idea of an AI testing the game (at the time) wasn’t a good idea at all because the point of a game is to “Play” it. So AI now rests in the title screen demo thing when you load up the game. Mario.ai resembles Mario but with a more darker appearance, including a shadow covering his “eyes” appearing due to being betrayed/scrapped. AI is extremely sentient and is present when the player is playing the game (only appearing in the corner of their eyes). Mario.ai owns many abilities such as: glitching a game, dragging people into the game world (like Lucas from Mario 85), manifestation across any video game known to man (regardless if its 3D or not) and many more. After Nintendo realised how dangerous the cartridge was, they shipped it out to a random person in the United States. And that person was a 26 year old man named Jim, an average Mario fan owning every Mario game at that time (the year was 1995) After receiving the SMB1 game with AI his friend Kyle told him more about the game from what he heard online. So Jim opened the package, put the cartridge in and proceeded to play the game. Everything was normal at first until he realised a few problems, 1, he was playing as Luigi in 1 Player Mode and 2, no enemies, power ups or un-opened ? Blocks anywhere. As he progressed a blinding light suddenly appeared causing him to black out. After getting his bearings he woke up inside the game. After being a bit excited he proceeded onward where he saw a koopa troopa corpse with its guts spilling out of its slit open chest. Jim threw up in his mouth and went onward to the end of the level, as he stood on top of the stairs, he saw what looked like Mario but slightly darker. After Mario noticed Jim, A big eye opened on Mario’s face. Jim, now frightened proceeds to run. The koopa corpse he saw earlier was reanimated and more gory, Jim manages to kill the koopa costing him about 7 seconds before he saw Mario flying toward him. After a stressful escape, Mario reveals that he’s the AI Jim heard about online, Jim then wakes up back in real life, rips out the cartridge and threw it across the room. He decided to play Legend of Zelda to relieve himself.He put in the cartridge, created a save file and started playing. A while after getting the sword, he started noticing Mario.ai in the corners of his eyes and disappearing when he went to look. 20 minutes went by and the game suddenly turned off, Jim took out the cartridge and blew into it to try and get the dust out. After putting the game back in though, he got jumpscared by AI, the game then goes back to normal but the graphics are the same as the Mario game. Link is now replaced by Luigi and just like the Mario game no enemies were in the game anymore “not this crap again” Jim spoke. He then re-encounters with AI saying that Jim will forever be trapped in his Mario Hell. Jim then faints and wakes up being surrounded by a large number of hanging Marios, AI then appears behind Jim as he was turning around. Then AI speaks out to Jim “you are in my world now, now we can have fun...Forever”. Jim falls to the floor after AI finished talking and now. Jim belongs to Mario.ai...

Abilities/Weaknesses
Mario.ai owns countless abilities due to him being permanently being possessed by a spirit.

Abilities
Manifestation - It's possible that he can manifest across any piece of media regardless if its Mario related or not because when Jim starts playing Legend of Zelda, he encountered Mario.ai again. he also has the ability to manifest himself into real life, but he states that "LIMITING MYSELF IS MORE FUN"

Flight - He owns the ability to fly mainly because he believes that running on legs is to slow to catch up to his victims

Glitch - Graphical glitches are used against his victims just to simply trick them into thinking the cartridge isn't clean on the inside.

Graphics Swap - As stated before, Mario.ai can swap textures and graphics to make them look like Super Mario Bros (as done with Legend of Zelda).

Transformation - Mario.ai has many transformation states, but only 2 of them are shown in his canon. them being his Faker form and his Normal state.

Weaknesses
Orange Juice with Pulp/Bits - he fucking hates orange juice with pulp in it
