Marchello

Marchello is a malicious entity that was created by @The_Hobo_Bat on November 30th, 2022, for the Mario.EXE December challenge but soon grew to be his own character.
==Biography==
Marchello is an entity that has latched itself onto the Mario media franchise ever since its inception in 1981 when Donkey Kong came out and was found when Mario Bros released to arcades in 1983, when people stated that he’s supposedly an unlockable character you get after beating round 99 and have stated that he was the fastest and had the highest jump out of the brothers. Some even claimed that he was in the merchandise and even in the Mario cartoon, the mystery of this "third brother" became so popular that video game magazines would report on it and giving their own speculation on what Marchello does in the series and how you can unlock him in Super Mario Bros 2 on the NES.
That is until Nintendo themselves made a statement regarding the third brother in a small box that was on a page all about Super Mario Bros 3. They denied the existence of Marchello and only said that he was only a palette glitch of Mario and that's it. But it didn't stop people from continuing to dig into the mystery regarding him, it almost seemed like this mysterious character was slowly taking over their lives to the point where some said Nintendo is after them to silence them and that Marchello himself is also hunting them down. Many of these claims have been debunked and laughed at by most while some still keep that in the back of their minds. Marchello and his story hasn't been fully revealed as his YouTube series is still a work in progress.
