Mario Loops

This, is not a story about a hacked game with supernatural powers or grim image. This is about something more simple. This is about an official no released Nintendo games whose authors realized their errors only once they completed it.

Mario Loops was destined to be a Mario Galaxy spin-off where you travel front way (think Yoshi Bazooka in third person) on space-floating looped path. Instead of the classic save the princess plot, the game is based on a storyline inspired by Sonic. In place of the traditional Koopas, we get robotics versions who transform into heli-packed toads who flee off-screen once killed. So yeah,Mario meet Sonic in a nutshell, but their more to this and there lie the reasons of his banishment.

The sypnosis reads at so:

'' Bowsers have kidnapped the toads and turn them into his personal army of KoopBot. Is up to Mario to free them before Bowsers add him in their numbers.''

Already, the idea that Mario is himself in perils is unsettling. And ,effectively, if Mario die we see his groggy body drag off-screen by Bowser's hand with the classic game over tuluduludu music playing on.

But the mention that it is for robotize him is actually a white lie directed to the youngest players. The game over screen (or rather what shown when you lose you last live, as their no game over screen to speak of) tell a different story. It starts like the others death screen, at the difference the camera then pan over and under a metal remix of Bowser's theme we see his shadow pull Mario's over his mouth and drop it in.

That why the game was never released because it is the first and only official Mario games when we see him die for real.

How I know about this game? Well, their a vast black market online for this kind of rare game. If you search enough, you may get your hand on it.
