'Woohoo! Let's-a go!' Mario said as he was ready to save the Princess.

'Why am I even saving the Princess? She's annoying, am I right?' He secretly questioned himself as he ran towards Bowser's castle.

It had been days since Mario was like that. He was still the hero of his game, but he had a weird presence inside him which tried to stop him from saving anyone. Every time Mario felt that presence, he felt pain inside him. Probably because the presence was made of censored content, or it's just his thinking. He felt weird each time he thought of it.

One day, the weird presence came back again. This time, it made Mario feel like acting stupid. He managed to fend that thought off, though.'Being naked on the streets...' he said to himself, '…Seemed…somehow normal to me…but why?'

He severely glitched, and that made him sick.

'Mario! The Princess is captured again!' A fellow Toad said, worried. The plumber struggled to wake up, but he headache stopped him.

'...Mario?' The Toad said again, this time being worried about Mario. 'He's sick,' Luigi said, seeing the situation, 'C'mon, Toad, let's go!' 'But what about Mario?' Toad asked. Luigi thought for a while and said, 'Toad, try doing it yourself. Be the one who can save the Princess. I have to stay back.'

Mario woke up at night as he couldn't sleep well. He had a feeling--a weird feeling that made him think ghat he didn't belong here.

He thought that he belonged somewhere else. However, he just couldn't think of where.

He recalled himself causing chaos with a certain someone. It looked exactly like him, but with different clothes. In there, Luigi was gay, Toad and Peach were annoying, and Bowser was his friend.

He then remembered himself befriending a Spike and people from another franchises. More people joined and they formed a gang. They went on stupid adventures which Mario didn't find so.

Related thoughts had been bothering him for the whole week since he had arrived at the Mushroom Kingdom. Even though he had rested for a week, he didn't feel any better.

'Mario! You've been in bed for a week! You have to get up!' Luigi said as he attempted to wake his brother up.

There was no response.

He then shook his brother, who was in his own blanket, and shouted for a while. However, there was still no response.

Luigi uncovered Mario's blanket, just to find his brother, curled up, unconscious.
