Wario Apparition

The Wario Apparition is a Horrorbrew created by an unknown individual. It is an anomalous AI that resides in personalized copies of Super Mario 64. It is a giant version of Wario's head that may or may not have pupils.
==Overview==
The Wario Apparition is an anomalous entity that only appears in various personalized copies of Super Mario 64. In said copies, it appears in the basement, in one of the hallways. It initially sits still in front of the painting, but once it sees Mario, it begins chasing him at a faster speed than Mario can run down the now endless hallway, all while the apparition is laughing maniacally and taunting the player. Contact with it usually results in Mario instantly losing a life.
==Abilities/Weaknesses==
===Abilities===
*Psychic damage: Various players have reported seizure, stroke, and amnesia-like experiences upon encountering or losing a life to the Wario Apparition. The causes of these are unknown.
*Instant death contact damage: Upon making contact with Mario ingame, it is able to instantly cause Mario to lose a life.
*High speed: The Wario Apparition is able to fly at high speeds towards Mario, with the latter never being able to outrun the former.
*Levitation: The Wario Apparition is capable of levitating off of the floor due to being a giant, floating head.
===Weaknesses===
*Excessive memory consumption: In some accounts and depictions (such as Super Mario 64: CLASSIFIED), the Wario Apparition ends up using so much memory and data when active, that it often results in the game crashing before it is able to do much.
==Origin==
The Wario Apparition seems to have two main inspirations.
The first is a commercial for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, where Wario, appearing as a floating head in a swirling void, tells the viewer as his eyes turn into green spirals in an attempt to hypnotize the viewer:
"Obey Wario. Destroy Mario."
The second is from E3 1996, where Wario appears yet again as a floating head to insult the presentation and Super Mario 64:
"Ah, this is terrible. Phooey! Who would buy stuff like this, anyway? Oh, what? You think this is fun? You gotta be coo-coo crazy. You want fun? WARIO SHOW YOU FUN."
The apparition itself would begin spreading as an online urban legend on places like 4chan and Reddit, with people recounting their own alleged experiences with it. It would see more popularity with the trend of the Super Mario 64 iceberg images that began surfacing and spreading on Twitter and YouTube, where it was commonly featured as an entry. 
Eventually it began to be hailed as an internet meme, with the Wario Apparition being thrown into various scenarios, be it chasing characters or for text format templates.
==Trivia==
*The Wario Apparition has become a meme in various circles of the Mario community, be they interested in Horrorbrews, SM64 conspiracy theories, or just the main Mario series itself.
*The Wario Apparition is inconsistently depicted with or without pupils.
