== Introduction ==
One day, some random 15 yr old man named Paul was checking his basement, and on that very day, he stumbled upon his own copy of Super Mario 3d Land, he got his old 3DS from 2012, put the copy in the old 3DS, and started playing the game .
== The Corruptions ==
When starting the game, something was off, Mario wasn't there. In the file select, there was no files to be there, he knew that he beaten the game when he was 7, but now his saves were gone... He started a new save, but there was no ordinary cutscene. Mario already had the Tanooki Power up, and a completely black face. The game itself was riddled with corruption, Paul didn't know what to do at this point. He ejected the cartridge from pure shock, but it seems like Mario wasn't happy about that because when restarting the game, it took him to a pure red screen. He restarts his 3DS through the red screen, and now he can play the game normally.
== The Erroneous Game ==
Past the title screen, file select screen, and first "cutscene", Paul found out that the game wasn't right at all, it was more than a hacked copy, it was haunted. But where the haunted part starts is at the first level, where Mario is faceless and Immortal, he doesn't claim to be god, or even think that he is. He's just a sprite error of Mario, but with no movement animations, which felt, eerie in some way, before Paul finishes 1 - 1, he gets greeted with a jumpscare through some music, the music pitched down by 60%, and the game's volume went up by a lot. He finished 1 - 1 and by this point, everything else was normal until he went to 1 - ♖, and that's where everything went wrong. There were no enemies and the game then went to a differentiation
== Not Normal ==
1 - ♖ didn't seem normal because it had no enemies, no power ups, and all the toads were also faceless. Paul took one bit of damage and found out no matter what, Mario just can't die. He waited for time to run out, but it seemed like the game was now timeless. Mario was truly invulnerable, This made the game easier, or so he thought, he then got to bowser, and his noise was replaced with static. When going into the fight, the game out of nowhere went to 6 FPS, meaning that something was very off.
== Anti Piracy ==
Paul finished World 1 and went on to world 2, when trying to go to the next World, his 3DS crashes, when he restarted his 3DS and booted up SM3DL again, his game had so many glitches so fatal to flag the game as a pirated copy. Paul had no association to piracy if not even tolerate it, he went to Reddit, made his account "Paul R. Anton" and posted this " Hi, my name is Paul R. Anton, 15 year old male, I got my copy of Super Mario 3D Land from when I was 7 years old, there was many glitches upon this, Mario's face was gone, and only in the last level of World 1, there were no enemies, and one time, the glitches were so severe that it flagged my copy as pirated, now what do I do, I do not associate with such piracy, so seeing this is just unusual to me." Most of the comments were just "Restart your 3DS" or "Go report it" Paul then reported the copy to Nintendo, got his phone and called them
== The Call ==
"Hello, this is Nintendo Support, how can we help you?"
"Yes, this is Paul Anton, and I have a problem with my copy of Super Mario 3D Land."
"Okay, can you give us details on what the problem is?"
"Sure thing! So I was just looking in my basement, looking for things I abandoned, and then I found my lost copy of Super Mario 3D Land. When I got it, it had copious amounts of glitches and corruptions, Mario's face was gone, and my copy has been flagged as pirated software"
"Well then, we'll be at your home in a week to try to fix these glitches. But until then, stay safe"
"Oh, and before we forget where you live, where's your address?"
"Okay, here's my address! 10916 120 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5G 3E1, Canada."
"We'll be with you soon!"
== The Breakout ==
After the call, Paul then put his 3DS away, waited for Nintendo to arrive. While he was waiting, Tanooki.3DS was getting bored, so bored in fact that he broke out of the 3DS, killed Paul, and put his soul inside the 3DS. When Nintendo got to his house, they were shocked, shocked of what happened.
== Victimization ==
Paul's soul was put into Luigi's body, and he was forced to keep the Kitsune Power up, now he spawned at 2 - 1, and his main objective was to survive for 1 minute, he did complete the goal, but then, in 2 - 2, his main objective was now to hide. He hid everywhere, and Tanooki.3DS couldn't find him. He then ran to the end flag, and survived. 2 - 3 was none other than the 2 - 𓊝 ... He had been blocked by Tanooki,
from one part he was supposed to fight Bowser in, Tanooki then pushed Paul into the lava, and Paul didn't survive
== Trivia ==
* Tanooki's Strength is sometimes unmatched.
* His face is made of meat, not skin
* He almost always holds a statue leaf
