-minus.exe

-minus.exe is a Super Mario Bros. inspired EXE created by Con-Con/Cononon.

Biography
-minus.exe is a supernatural entity that resides in certain copies of Super Mario Bros. for the Famicom/NES. His purpose is to prevent players from doing the infamous minus world glitch. He was an unknown malicious entity that somehow managed to sneak its way into the code of Super Mario Bros. without Nintendo ever knowing.

When players would do the minus world glitch and go through the worlds, he'll say things like "Don't reach the other worlds", or "I said stop". When players reach the last straw for him, he'll say, "STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP". After this, players suddenly start to feel stressed for no reason, and then, their heart stops, and they suddenly drop dead. After this, -minus.exe's hand goes out the TV, and pulls the body into the game for them to disappear forever. -minus.exe has claimed over 21,000 victims from Japan to America. -minus.exe's first victim is a woman named Rei Sakurai, who was later killed due to her curiosity of the minus world glitch. The most recent victim of this, was a guy named Justin, who in 2021, got a copy of Super Mario Bros. from Goodwill, as he wanted to try the Famicom version for the first time, since he owns a Famicom. Justin had acknowledged the minus world glitch, so he wanted to try it. What happens after is something similar to what it is described above. There's currently an ongoing investigation known as the "Minus World Case".

-minus.exe has three phases on all three worlds within the minus world glitch. The first phase is basically a faceless small Mario. In his second phase, his colours are grayed out, and he gains grayish eyes. In his third phase, his colours darken, and he gains a mouth. His physical appearance gains his blocky appearance from his 8-Bit sprite.

Abilities
Manifest - It is possible that he manifests into the player's minds, causing them stress. He also supposedly manifests the player's heart, causing it to stop.

Transformation - As stated before, he can transform into three phases, giving him new parts to his face, and changing the tone of his colours.

Fourth wall break - He can talk to the players at certain points, and even comes out of the television at some point.

Instakill - Once people have stress, -minus.exe supposedly stops the heart from beating, killing them instantly.

Weaknesses
Bit prevention - He is unable to go more or less than 8-Bit. Even his physical appearance retains his blocky appearance from his 8-Bit sprite.
