Keygen

Keygen is a Russian EXE. Made by @bosniangamer206, Who has an appearance of an oversaturated Mario consisting of red and blue. With his face being completely glitched out. Keygen is located inside of thousands of copies of a Russian bootleg of Super Mario World, And acts as one entity across all cartridges. Edited by a Small-Time Russian rom hacker. The original cartridge managed to get into the wrong hands, Which was then produced in bulk and sold across continents like Asia and Europe.
==Biography==
Keygen is a rogue AI who was accidentally created in a Russian home by a Russian rom hacker. He managed to spread almost world-wide, Due to the Russian rom-hacker who created Keygen in the first place, And his carelessness. The Russian attempted to get rid of Keygen, But in the midst of doing so, Accidentally gave him away to the wrong people. The cartridge was inspected, Hell, Not even playtested, And had begun being produced in absolute bulk as a bootleg to trick people into playing the fake game. Keygen's cartridges were shipped all across Europe and Asia. And all of them essentially being all linked together as a hivemind, To one single Keygen. 
Keygen preys on his victim's naiveness, Mostly preying on the younger generation to kill. But he'll prefer anyone no matter what, Be the victim was a saint, Or reincarnation of the devil, He's killing them eventually. Keygen does this by fumbling up the game intentionally, Most of the time freezing the game. Then, Once the victim gets a closer look at the screen, Keygen blasts them with a truck-load of red. Oddly enough, His ray of death is shockingly lethal. Nine times out of ten paralyzing or giving his victims seizures due to the blast. 
One of his primal weaknesses are recordings of the footage. Be that taken straight from the output of the screen, Or recorded on any wee old telephone.
==Abilities/Weaknesses==
===Abilities===
* "Ray of doom", A glaring red color is plastered over the entire screen, This color is surprisingly powerful as it can cause seizures and other symptoms.
* Editing the code of the cartridge with him in it, To aid himself, Or to wound and or kill his victims.
* Keygen can change his ingame appearance anytime.
* Every powerup in SMW, Altough he rarely uses them since he prefers to just blast his victims instead of one on one.
* Skipping to any level/stage, Overworld, Playable levels, Etc.
* Completely freezing/stopping the game. Manifesting coherent speech through text, Etc etc.
===Weaknesses===
* His abilities are limited by the power output of the SNES he's manning. Meaning he can't get to his full potential.
* His main attack is basically like a powerful gunshot but with a long recharge, The SNES usually powers down as the screen fades to static due to the amount of power Keygen drags in to use his main ability.
* Broken SNES? Destroyed his cartridge? Or just didn't even put in the cartridge and turn on the game? Good job. You've encountered his main weakness.
* His ray of doom can't transfer through recordings.
==Trivia==
* Keygen is limited by the power output of the SNES, So if you hooked him up on an emulator with a good power supply, He can do alot worse. A. LOT.
* Keygen is neutral towards other SMW glitches like PS135.
* If you hooked up Keygen to the internet, Well he's gonna find out alot of things.
* Keygen doesn't care for any romantic stuff, Or things like pronouns.
* Keygen would maybe be good pals with Fatal Error.
* He can change his form anytime he wants. He just prefers Mario for some reason.
* If he ever verbally spoke, He'd sound like the Heavy from TF2.
* If Keygen ever found a new game to latch on to, He'd still adopt his oversaturated red and blue color scheme.
