KiloByte

KiloByte is a character created by the users AdjDraws & losermakesgames. He was created on 21/10/2023.

## Overview

KiloByte, or KB for short, is the official Mario variation of an already existing EXE, Lord X.

KiloByte’s design is based on the flying power-up outfit from Super Mario Galaxy, with the exception of the red buttons on the overalls and a lower saturation to it. The M symbol on his cap is replaced with the Japanese Kanji for "sun" or "day" (日), however, the meaning of it has not yet been elaborated on.

## Biography

It is unknown for how long KiloByte has been around, and where exactly he originates from. He used to reside within a prototype cartridge of Super Mario World, which was delivered to Logan's residence.

It didn't take long until things began to feel off during Logan's first playthrough. After beating Iggy's castle, the game seemed to have gained consciousness, displaying ominous texts where they shouldn't be, causing heavy amounts of input lag, and eventually bricking the cartridge, much to the protagonist's dismay, taking into account how much it cost.

Later on, they decide to play Super Mario Galaxy on their Nintendo Switch in an attempt to forget about the busted game. However, it completely backfired, as the entity within that cartridge had already infiltrated the console, making the red Luma in the game say something very out of line. After crashing the system, KB supposedly turned off the home security system just as soon as Logan tried unplugging all of their electronics, in an attempt of preventing him from possibly damaging them as well.

Upon receiving a call from the home security company, Logan tries to explain what went on, but is suddenly interrupted by the sound of static, alongside a deep and rough voice telling Logan he's always watching them, which causes them to be on the verge of breaking down, and drive over to stay the night at their friend's house, Tom, eventually staying there for the time being.

As of right now, it is unknown where KiloByte currently resides, as the cartridge had been reluctantly destroyed by Logan, and their SNES and Switch were kept in a box for purposes of sentimental value.
