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 He was made on March 18, 2022 and was originally made for fun, but then became a fully fledged out character.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