---STORY---

I was playing Maranomaly (a obscure Super Mario 3 ROM hack) when the HUD went to the top of my screen. I grabbed my screen recorder and started recording. (Before it started, it weirdly switched to 720i) Moments later, I saw Mario.ini. Rumors said that encountering Mario.ini would severely corrupt the game, and the HUD's text got VERY corrupted. Mario.ini KILLED Mario, and an error screen showed. It said something along the lines of "three people are now trapped. do not be the forth." (keep in mind that the hack was using some experimental "screen change" technology, so what you see may be different.)


I never played Maranomaly again, fearing that it may corrupt the NES it was played on.
