My bad...I forgot...I won't this time though!

Let's carry on!

I awoke to the sound of loud birds and hollering monkeys, large green trees and short brown stubby bushes littered the area. The air felt thick and reeked of animal dung and…bananas? Well what do you expect from Donkey Kong?

I don't remember what exactly happens in this level, but I remember that it's a straightforward shot with a couple enemies in the way, it's mainly to teach you the mechanics of the game, with a boss at the end. I just started running down the dirt path, facing your standard enemies, Goombas, Koopas, and Kremlings like the Green alligator Kritters, and the blue alligator Krushas and occasionally these weird black shadow creatures. Those things freaked me out the most, they looked humanoid, but were composed of small…things, they looked like weird bugs or something. It was a rather linear path; I couldn't really go left or right due to the dense foliage.

The Koopas and Goombas were easy to dispose of, simply jumping on them was enough. The Kritters and Krushas took a little more effort. The Kritters tried lunging at me, their mouths wide open. They've tried to bite me multiple times, but I've escaped most of the time by ducking, jumping, and rolling out of the way. While their backs were turned to me, I punched them as hard as I could, sending them flying. The black creatures were what bugged me, they kinda looked like the Primids from the Subspace Emmisary, but completely black with white beady eyes. They never really attacked, just stood there and then darted into the foliage. I'd have to talk to the development team about this.

I ran, punched, stomped, and lept until I reached a large waterfall. At the top there was a faint figure. It was hard to tell, but I could see traces of bright yellow and green. I began to scaling the waterfall, jumping from rock to rock, swimming in shallow pools and climbing loose vines, swinging from vine to vine like Tarzan. The briny scent of the waterfall seemed to get progressively stronger and worse as I got to the top.

I was almost there, only one ladder left. I started climbing, one foot after the other, grabbing the next bar as soon as I could see it. I was ascending at astonishing speeds, but the ladder seemed to go on forever. Rung after rung, there looked like there was no end in sight. I heard a deep scaly laugh coming from the top of the waterfall, and I already knew who it was. I soon saw the top of the waterfall, and it was a good thing as well. My arms were killing me.

I heaved and pulled myself to the top of the waterfall. My body hurt-it was painfully realistic-every muscle felt like it was being strangled, pulled apart and roasted over a fire. It burned. It singed. I felt as hot as the fire spewing out of the Koopa King's mouth as he taunted me. He stood towering over me, more than 7 feet tall. An odd mix of yellow scaly skin, a green shell with ivory spines as thick as tree branches, muscles that were the size of tree trunks, and that fiery red hair which matched those glaring red eyes peering into mine; Bowser was certainly an intimating foe.

"I see the plumber was too lazy to come here, and he sent some…creature to come and stop me." He boasted, standing in front of a large stockpile of bananas. I grinned and cracked my knuckles, "And stop you I will."

His cocky grin changed to grimace, followed by a jet of flames, which I rolled to the right to avoid. I stood back, charging up my fist for an uppercut. The giant lizard barreled towards me, a black gleam in his crimson eyes. He threw himself into the air in a belly flop position, trying to squish me under his tremendous weight.

I rolled under him, the tips of my hair getting blown by the air pushed away by Bowser's body. I grabbed him by the tail while he was still down and tossed him in the air. I landed a series of piston-like punches on his soft underside as the force lifted my body into the air. I finished off my onslaught with a final punch that knocked him onto his spiny shell.

However, Bowser recovered almost immediately, tucked his limbs into his shell and curled up into a spiky ball. The ball of death started spinning in place, making me worried about what the Koopa King had planned. Before I could process what had happened, be began to charge around wildly. His pattern was unpredictable, I was constantly on my toes, dodging left and right, jumping and sliding out the way. The ball of death suddenly stopped, and then began to burrow into the ground, sending mountains of dirt and sand into the air, effectively rendering me blind.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP

The ground shook with the force of an earth quake, I was starting to become dizzy and disorientated. I started running blindly in a certain direction, better than being a sitting duck. My eyes were shut to keep the dirt out, but it only resulted me tripping on a rock or something, crashing down on the crumbling earth.

CRACK!

I heard the earth split off to the right…. why was this game so scary?! This wasn't even his move set, was this a special battle they implemented to add more tension and through off the player. The rumbling got louder and louder with each passing second. Then…quiet…. nothing…

Out of nowhere, Bowser's body came erupting out of the ground. I felt his spines tearing into me, like a roller filled with sharp knives. As the pain riddled through my body, I felt disconnected from this 'world', but at the same time, pondering as to why I felt so much pain. This was only a simulation, so why was I feeling it so realistically?

I was knocked to the side, my body unable to move, it felt still and broken.

I saw his eyes, pitch black, with weird things moving all around him. They looked like ants, or some other type of insect…Another glitch?

He began taunting me, saying how I was insignificant, and how he would watch me burn on the spot. I couldn't move my body, I felt tied down by invisible rope, binding my hands and feet to the floor.

He had finished speaking and I looked up to see an approaching inferno. I shut my eyes.

Suddenly Donkey Kong came bursting out from seemingly nowhere, dispersing the flames with his magnificent brown hide and began to wrestle with the 7-foot lizard….

…except that didn't happen.

Donkey Kong was supposed to come out, but instead my body was charred by the flames. I screamed in agonizing pain, my skin felt like it was melting. I had no time to figure out why it felt so agonizingly realistic. I dragged myself off the cliff, with the slight hope of plunging into the water. It wasn't much of a plan, and I didn't know if I'd even survive or not.

"The rules have changed." I thought to myself as I plummeted over a hundred feet into the icy waters below.
