The Story:
Hello. My name is Joel, an employee at Nintendo of America (NoA). Today, I went throughout my usual routine: bath, coffee, & my work, which is testing Nintendo's upcoming games. At the end of the day, I saw a Switch Cartridge named "Beta". Thinking that it was an upcoming game, I took the cartridge home & inserted it into my Switch.

The game started up with a dedication to Satoru Iwata, along with credit to people who made various fan made content. The game apparently, was called "Nintendo Switch Online: SNES Library Beta". Excited, I pressed "Start" & there were 6 games: Super Mario World, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Kirby Super Star, Super Metroid, MOTHER 2/Earthbound, & Star Fox. Now ready to play, I selected Super Mario World.

Super Mario World
The game began like normal, title screen & all. As I selected Yoshi's Island 1, some of the beta elements like Fire Piranhas were here & also a bunch of custom stuff as well. However, when I nearly touched the Goal Tape, the timer glitched to 0, & Mario died. As the level restarted, the music was gone & so were the enemies. When I reached the goal, it was blocked & the sign pointed to the nearby Warp Pipe. Thinking that something new is in the game, I entered it.

Upon entry, a new level loaded. It was an all-black Ghost House. There were Boos & Koopas, but the Boos had no eyes & the Koopas looked ghostly-blue. After exiting the House, I was nearly close to completing the level when the game crashed. When I reloaded the game, it seemed to skip ahead to the title screen, where the Nintendo logo was slightly glitching. As I reentered the game selection menu, everything was intact, except Super Mario World was missing, just a blank spot. Shrugging it off as a glitch, I selected The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past as my next choice.

The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
Unlike Super Mario World, A Link To The Past skipped ahead to the gameplay. Link seemed to have all of the best equipment from Master Sword to Mirror Shield. However, the same can't be said about Hyrule. In fact, it was in flames! No building was spared & no NPC was available. Instinctively, I decided to head over to Ganon's Tower. When I arrived there, it was in the same condition as the rest of Hyrule! Upon reaching the final boss area, there was a dark figure. Then, dialogue began: Soon, a battle began. I tried hitting the figure with all I got, but all attacks bounced off him. Not even a Bomb did some damage to him. However, Link got damaged by enemy attacks. Eventually, he fell to his foe, but instead of the usual Game Over, I got booted back to the game menu. A Link To The Past was now a jumble of corrupted text. When I tried to select it, the menu got more corrupted, so instead, I just chose Kirby Super Star to get away from the menu before it got worse.
 * ???: Welcome, "hero".
 * Link: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HYRULE?!
 * ???: They did not surrender, so I gave them over to my master.
 * Link: You will regret this!
 * ???: Then so be it.

Kirby Super Star
Just like A Link To The Past, there was no title screen. However, it skipped ahead to the "Episode Selection". All of the episodes are corrupted, except Milky Way Wishes, which upon selecting, worked! However, Kirby spawned at a ruined Cappy Town, with a burning background. After walking for 10 seconds, there were platforms & corrupted Gordos above a death pit! After platforming through the extremely hard "maze", I ended up in a corrupted section of the level, which I realized was Spring Breeze! After traversing through a bunch of corrupted areas that used to be the other episodes, I finally reached a replica of the arena where Marx was fought. The figure seemed to anticipate where each of the characters are. Then, a battle commenced, with both characters having the Sword Ability. Strangely, the figure can parry attacks, but Kirby can't. Eventually, I lost the battle & Kirby met the same fate as Link. Having enough of this, I quit the game. Upon trying to play Breath Of The Wild, the game crashed. The same thing happened with Star Allies & Link's Awakening. Even Smash Ultimate & Switch Online NES had no mention of The Legend Of Zelda or even Kirby. This left me in shock. How can a game character erase the existence of people he/she killed? Determined to put a stop to this evil, I reloaded the beta & picked Super Metroid.
 * ???: Hello, Star Warrior.
 * Kirby: Poyo! (What did you do to my home?)
 * ???: Pretty much the same as Hyrule.
 * Kirby: POYO! (I will make sure you meet Galeem & Dharkon where they are now!)

Super Metroid
Similar to the past 2 games, it skipped straight ahead to game play. Samus seemed to have every single upgrade including the Varia Suit. As I traversed throughout Zebes, I saw corpses of people & enemies alike, similar to the ones in Ceres Station. After traversing through the caverns, I reached a copy of Ridley's room from the original Metroid game. Ridley was there too, except the figure killed him already. Once again, dialogue showed up. Afterwards, the battle began. I spammed my Missles in hopes of landing some damage, but the damage was only very small. Eventually, I switched to Beams, which did no damage at all. The figure used his Beams & great damage was dealt. Just as Samus had 1 HP, the figure grabbed her, & spammed his Missiles, knocking her to the lava pit. The greatest bounty hunter of Nintendo met the same fate as the Hero Of Courage & the Pink Star Warrior. Now angrier than ever, I selected Earthbound.
 * ???: Do you like the new decorations?
 * Samus: Enough games. Time for you to get what you deserve.
 * ???: You are as foolish as my other victims.

MOTHER 2/Earthbound
When the game began, Ness, Paula, Jeff, & Poo had the maximum equipment & level. They also seemed to be in a strange cavern not in the game. Every so often, a battle would start, but there were no enemies & the text in the text box read "But nobody came...". Soon, I reached an area that looked vaguely like a ruined version of where Giygas was fought. As I approached the area, a cutscene played where the figure & 3 strange cloaked characters materialized, with more dialogue. Then a 4 way battle started: My team Vs the figure's team. Attempting to save PSI & Goods, I tried Bash (Shoot for Jeff), but there was no damage. The enemy's regular attacks did damage though. Eventually, I resorted to PSI & Invention attacking, but the damage was minimal. Eventually, my team fell to the enemy, starting with Poo, then Jeff, then Paula, & last was Ness. As the emulated game crashed & booted back to the menu, I had only 1 chance left: Star Fox.
 * ???: Have you come to submit to me & my master?
 * Jeff: NO! We heard about what you have done.
 * Cloaked 1: Submit to him...
 * Poo: You 3 seem very familiar.
 * Cloaked 2: He saved us from death.
 * Paula: All of you are not saved.
 * Cloaked 3: Only a fool would stand up against Master.
 * Ness: We will stop you. We defeated Giygas, & you will meet the same fate as him.
 * ???: If that's so, let the game begin.

Star Fox
When the game started up, it began with a cutscene. There, Team Star Fox (So there will be less confusion to those who don't know the games) was monitoring the strange events. They decided to take flight & get ready. As the mission went on, there was a lot of strategizing on what to do (even a reference to the Barrel Roll!). Eventually, a black Arwing accompanied by 3 smaller ones approached. Here's the dialogue: Then, the battle began. Just like Super Metroid & Earthbound, there was damage. However, the damage is too small & the enemy keeps healing himself. Soon, Falco was shot down by the enemy, then each member of the team except Fox fell to their deaths too. Then came the rapid firing from me, but no damage occurred & the enemies keep attacking, forcing me to keep dodging, but I didn't last long. After that last quote & a crash, all of the games have been corrupted. However, I never tried the blank slot, so I did out of curiosity.
 * ???: So, Team Star Fox, the last of the fools that oppose me & Master.
 * Fox: So you're the one behind this!
 * Falco: We will take you down.
 * Peppy: Get ready...
 * Slippy: Set...
 * All 4 Members: STAR FOX!
 * Falco: I'M HIT!
 * Slippy: Fox, it's all on you now...
 * Peppy: Good times together... Thank you.
 * Fox: I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!
 * Fox: I'm sorry, everyone...

'the Mysterious Forest
Upon selecting "blank", a game loaded up. I was surprised on who I was playing as: Mario himself! Strangely, the loaded level was some sort of forest. As I walked down the forest (with frozen rivers & some bridges), a strange theme played & it began to rain. There were zombie Mario enemies, which were killed with 1 stomp. Eventually, I reached what looked like a gravestone. Standing in my way was a zombie Infringio, the main player from DMCA Royale! Soon, a fight began between the both of them, while the music still played. Infringio walks & jumps in a random pattern, stopping occasionally to fire his gun. With 3 stomps, the fanmade character was dead again. I continued on.
 * Mario: I-Infringio?
 * Infringio: You... killed... me... with... copyright... strikes...

Directly after killing Infringio, I saw something hanging. Upon a closer look, it was Shigeru Miyamoto hanging from a tree on a noose! There was blood on the ground tiles spelling "Why?". Much further were more tombstones with battling against zombie characters vengeful to Mario for the DMCAs like Grand Dad, Alec, Pokemon Uranium players, BrawlBRSTMs3 X (as a Toad), AM2R Samus (black & White Super Metroid sprite for representation), SMG4, & Redigit (SMB3 Style). After each battle, there was one Nintendo employee brutally murdered. Reggie was burned, Itoi had beatings all over his body, Sakurai was ground up like spat-out food, Yokoi was shot in the head, Doug Bowser was impaled by spikes, Kyogoku was beheaded, Nogami seemed to be poisoned, Wakai was stabbed in the heart, & many more employees were killed in ways that can't be counted. Soon, I reached a much bigger tombstone with an "L" on it. Mario walked towards it, put flowers there, & began to cry. I then realized that the tombstone was Luigi's.

After that scene, Mario was now in a castle. The rooms seemed to be based off various areas from the final castles of every 2D Mario Game. Eventually, I reached the end of the castle, which had a Boss Door. As I entered the door, I was in a room that looked like a normal one from Super Mario World, except there was a shadow in one of the windows. Standing at the rightmost side was the figure, but before I got a closer look, the game crashed. When it rebooted, I was directly in the menu & the corrupted games said "Help us.".

Saving Them (00111111)
Knowing that I have a second chance with saving them, I selected what used to be A Link To The Past, & it loaded! My character looked a lot just like my Mii & he had equipment more powerful than those from the game. As I approached Ganon's Tower, there was an alternate route since the main route seemed to be locked. After traversing through the alternate path, I met the figure once more, except he had a slightly different shape than before. The battle began once again & this time, I beat him for he didn't block the attacks, which was strange. The same thing happened when I replayed Kirby Super Star, Super Metroid, Earthbound, & Star Fox. Now that I defeated the enemy in a number of times equal to how many times he defeated me, I decided to return to what was left of Super Mario World.

Just like before, the level was the forest. However, there were no zombies or even dead bodies anywhere. However, each time I approached a gravestone, my character put what looked like a 1-UP there, which sank into the ground. Soon, I reached the castle & went inside. After traversing through the level & into the boss room, there was no one. 5 seconds later, Mario comes in, looking angrier than ever, & he seemed to look at my character, then he stared right at me! I was in shock. Mario is angry, to me? "I didn't do anything!" was my reply in vain. Then I recalled something: In each rematch, I saw what looked like Mario's cap somewhere. I then realized that he watched me kill the enemy 5 times. I figured that he's the one behind all of this. Then, a custom battle began, with both of us having Mega Man X style healthbars (J for my character & M for Mario). Mario first started by jumping all over the place whilst using his hammer or pulling off combat moves reminiscent of Daniel Sun's work. When he was half-health down, he equipped Fire Flower & Super Cape at the same time, & he fired fireballs while flying, occasionally swooping down. Eventually, I won! Then some dialogue began. Then, the ground began to shake & my character began to glow. Mario seemed terrified. Soon, my character became sentient & partially dark. I then realized that I was the figure that killed the Nintendo heroes since zombie versions of Link, Kirby, Samus, Ness, & Fox stood by him. (No ":" means that it's the custom character's dialogue) Zombie versions of Luigi, Peach, Bowser, & every Nintendo character appeared, & they began to attack Mario, while some orchestra-like music began to play. Then, Mario kept on dodging the zombies & had to go Power Star on some of them, but he soon lost his Super Mushroom, making him small. He then had to keep running away. He then soon went offscreen. After that, the credits rolled like a normal Nintendo game, except the names of the prominent ones (developers of franchises or made a big contribution) were glitching, then the screen went black with the words "Thank you for playing!" It then showed an image of Mario crying while every single Nintendo franchise & the logo glitching out & he seemed to say "I'm-a sorry, Nintendo. I failed you all..." before he too glitched out of existence, causing the game to crash. Afterwards, I received a message from my friends to check the news
 * Mario: WHAT HAVE YOU-A DONE WITH MY FRIENDS?!
 * Mario: Don't lie to me. I saw what you have done.
 * Mario: Before you say another word, I saw you kill Link, Kirby, Samus, Ness & co, & Fox & co. It makes me so-a mad! We gave you game consoles, good games. We even allowed one request from Smash, & still, you complain about what we choose to do & not do. Do you ever say "Thank you"? No! Well, you're not going to change, so listen: It was a-fun playing with you, but with what you've done, it's time to put you in your place. I will now show you how this-a game ends.
 * Mario: Ok. Alright. I get it. Was this what you really wanted? Killing everyone else just to kill me? Was Nintendo REALLY the villain in your mind? I mean sure, this is definitely one way to show your anger to Nintendo, but surely there was a more mature way of telling your opinions. We just want to do what we want to do with our games! We filled your insatiable gullets with more and more and more! And now your here to show your gratitude. Well congratulations then. I didn't bring this world to an end; you did. So feel good about yourself for ending Nintendo by nearly killing all of the characters!
 * Mario: Mama-mia. It's HIM.
 * My master has won already. Just give up, OR DIE!
 * Mario: No, no, no! What have I done to deserve this? Everyone I know is a slave to him including the player...
 * Mario: I can't save them. If I die, Nintendo & the other world have no hope left. I have to keep running. I'm sorry Luigi, I'm sorry Miyamoto, I'm sorry, Nintendo. I will come back someday!

When I changed the TV mode back to normal, it was no ordinary news. It was breaking news. Apparently, every single Nintendo base around the world was burning & the prominent people were in a coma state. Soon, the TV switched itself to my "Game Mode". A purplish glitching woman showed & said, "You did your duty well, now your soul is mine!". A loading screen appeared & it was labeled "Soul Transfer". Shocked, I tried to break my Switch, but the process kept going. Slowly, my vision grew weary & so did my hearing, with a splitting headache as the process went on. Please, help msarew99ea20qwedfn sgrndbts-dewm45yw63ea3qrqweefrgt64aawqe5w4svdsf65y4fs5refsaw4wesas4szxccjkiyfasrt5t46ol9rytew5e-SAegbhzsaq324309290214rsa[czaq`1

Police Report:
 * 1) Name of victim: Joel Franklin, a Nintendo beta tester
 * 2) Current state: Coma, just like the people in the news
 * 3) Other notes: TV was off. Upon switching on, text read "1 soul collected. 12 left to go."
