For years, some lore of our favorite games like
Sonic CD, Zelda, and Super Mario World have increasingly surfaced on forums opening debates about the truths of eerie easter eggs. If you have the games, and follow the instructions listed on several sites, then you will see twisted alternate realities of your favorite games that will make you question why developers put this weird crap in the game and how did I miss this until now?
The first game with a haunted universe up that creeped the crap out of me is
Mario World. In order to discover this alternate version of
Mario World, you must have a SNES emulator.
After I defeated the
Mario World, I along with many gamers discovered something unnerving, called the Blind Boo that changed an entire generation of childhood. The Blind Boo is the character below that hovers over the exit from the haunted "Sunken Ship" level with no eyes haunting the exit pipe.
***WARNING THIS SHIT WILL MENTALLY DISTURB YOU** *
I didn't notice the Blind Boo until I saw some lore going on about it on the web. There was a Key and Keyhole misplaced above the exit. Keys and Keyholes as such are ways of ending a level in an alternate manner and discovering a secret area. However, these keys and keyholes do not belong there.
I know some of you tech-code savvy are saying may it is broken ROM file from over-use. One site called creepypasta, I visited provided a screen shot of the event. After you opened the door with the key, a new path opened on the map selection screen.
Suddenly a whirlpool opens next to Bowser's head, and all hell breaks loose. The cave's eyes start to bleed and you get a message that says "Oh, God No"
Next, your are sent to a castle dungeon under water. The level is designed specifically to mess with the player's head. There was no room to jump. No room to do anything except run left to right. It goes on like this for twenty minutes. Then the game changes to an even more eerie transition.
First you run into two or three Blind Boos. Then when the game falls into repetitiveness again, a giant "Bleeding Bill" comes your way and the only thing you can do is run or face inevitable death. The only way to defeat the Bleeding Bill is by using a game genie code that gives you the invulnerable touch. Once you defeat Bleeding Bill, the game gives you a message "I HATE YOU" written in blood red letters above the screen.
Now that really creeped me out because it seemed like the game was mad at me for not dying. It seemed like the game had a plot to kill me and by me cheating death, it upset the balance of life. WOW! I kind of had a feeling after that, I was in for a real challenge because the game persisted on handing me my fate.
Soon, I was greeted by Boss Characters that look like Giant Boos. As we battled, now messages came "Why Won't You Die?!" appeared.
Later, the game had a few more levels of blood covered backgrounds and an disturbing underwater level where drowned Mario's tried to torpedo me and try to get me to drown.
On the next level, I definitely believed this was someone's modification because suddenly Luigi came out of no where. Then Luigi claimed he was working with Koopa, and started to attack Mario in a rage. I guess Luigi grew tired of being in the background cheering Mario on as he got the glory and girls. All you can do is watch on as Mario is beaten to death by the jealous Luigi's.
When all hope seems lost, Mario regains his strength and tosses Luigi into the lake of lava. As Luigi, dies you see his final haunting words "OH GOD NO"
Filled with regret, Mario watches on as his brother dies a horrible death right in front of him. It seems Mario couldn't fight Luigi because he was frozen by the shock that the one who was behind the repeat abductions of the Princess and forcing Mario to overcome death defying obstacles to rescue her was in fact Luigi. Mario sits on the edge of the platform crying as his world is turned upside down by this revelation.
For players who are fanatics about the series this shit is really upsetting, as you go from this happy care free world that Mario runs around levels and cleanly defeats monsters with flowers, stumps or a punch to watching Luigi burn to death. The screen fades to black and you are taken back to the title start screen like normal. Utterly disturbing.
More Lore
Some sites are reporting that you can find a disturbing message that says this alternate levels comes from a hack to the ROM. If you download the hack from any site you get two files 3007014.txt and the ISP file Mario.
Part 1
You play through the normal level, but on the map instead of it saying Yoshi's House, it just says Yoshi's.
As you playthrough you get a weird message's like "he's at it again" and the level's music and enemies disappear.
You run through the level obstacle free until you arrive at the end where you are suppose to open Yoshi's egg, but instead you get a weird message that has been creeping players out for years.
There is lore that the victim is one of the developer's love interests that was killed but the crime was never solved, so he put it in the game as a reminder to the world to keep awareness of the crime going to prevent it from becoming a cold case.
To sum it up, you have to clear some levels that seem impossible, then you reach the final level which is a pit where you seem like you are trapped. The only thing you are able to do is jump through the wall and commit suicide.
On the creepypasta website, the editor said, "This was the video game representation of death, a crash, Mario had died. After playing, I think I finally understand what is happening. I believe Mario is atoning for his actions[killing all those creatures and destroying world to save the Princess], eventually being plummeted to a hell that looked exactly like Yoshi's Island, where, he was lost to the grip of death, forever..."
Part 2
That biggest discover is that in the original two files you get for downloading the hack the 3007014 files is a jpeg that can be converted. Once convert you get this picture which some say is the victim mentioned in the above picture.
