It was a nice Saturday evening. The day was also pleasing because it was my birthday. I'd been obssesed with Mario games for weeks before and asked for one for a birthday present. For my present, I had gotten Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo, my dad said he got it from a flea market or something. But to be honest I wasn't paying attention. The case was in pretty neat condition except for a few pieces of tape on the side of the casing. Right when I popped the cartridge in my parents had to leave for work. The intro started up fine. There were some minor problems like the volume sometimes spiked and the music glitched into sounding like a hissing snake.I pressed start, selected 1 player and headed right in to play the stage called Yoshi's Island 2. Something was off, it was the apples, they were blue. No big deal though.I hit a ? block and then a Yoshi came up from under the ground. When I jumped on the Yoshi.... I died. What had happened? Was Yoshi an enemy in this Mario title? I tried to get the Yoshi again, this time it worked. But I was steamed because the game killed me for no appropriate reason,so I had to get revenge. I found the nearest pit,and jumped up and off my Yoshi. Sacrificing him to the cliff.I heard a splat after the green dino fell. I made it to the end of the level, but instead of showing sparkling numbers while Mario walked, it showed symbols that resembled a Yoshi's face. As the screen faded out Mario tripped, but it looked as if something had grabbed him. The next stage Mario looked like he had a bruise on his cheek. He had the look of an abused puppy.I breezed through the level but I wanted to get another Yoshi. So I traveled back to Yoshi's Island 2 and got another one. But this time a black box appeared, it read,"There are no 1-ups for us." I didn't get what it meant. I beat the stage with the Yoshi still intact. Then I entered the stage with water at the bottom, you know,the one's with the cheep-cheep always flying up at you. I was doing fine,but then I was hit and the Yoshi scrambled from me. When it was consumed by water I didn't even try to get it."It's as good as dead," I remarked. I went down a pipe and a Yoshi there, staring... The Yoshi turned the only light off and the screen was pitch black. CRACK! the sound of crunching bones blazed through my T.V. Then suddenly I was back at the stage select screen.The Mario sprite was completely shaded black. But, who cares? I could go to the 1st castle without even beating the previous level. By now I was just simply passing the previous occurrences as glitches.So I ventured on into the castle. The start was very quiet, I heard some squeaking in the background. In the middle of the vicinity there were one of those big yellow crushers. There was Mario, he was in......he was in,a wheelchair. A blue Yoshi strolled him along, then he tipped the chair and Mario fell under the crusher's smash zone. Mario was desperate to get out, he tried to crawl away but the Yoshi stopped him from leaving. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks. A text box appeared on the screen, "Why didn't you cry when you ruthlessly killed all of my family,you brought this upon yourself,"Slowly but surely the crusher slid down. The screen went black, I heard a ear busting scream..... It showed the Mario lives screen, all that was beside it was a gravestone. I turned the game off. I tried to play it again a month later. But it didn't work. When I started the game, Mario wasn't there. I suppose he is truly gone. Forever....
