Test A "Super Mario 64"

Test A - ██/██/██

Subject: D-7439
Video Game: Super Mario 64

Foreword: The following Log is a conversation between Dr. York and D-7439

<Begin Log>

Dr York: Hello D-7439. You can call me Dr. York.

D-7439: What did you do to me?!

Dr York: We had to do some testing with SCP-5547. Now, tell me your experience with your dream, did it resemble Super Mario 64?

D-7439: Uh… I… um… yeah. It did, but it was very… twisted. Things were in places they weren't supposed to be, and everything seemed so real, like the grass felt like actual grass. Oh! Yeah, um, there was this lakitu that would follow you around in the game, but here, it was…off to say the least. Its skin was dropping down and he gave a smile, one with human teeth. The cloud it was riding on also gave the same smile. Everywhere I go, it's always watching me.

Dr York: Ok, describe the first level of the game.

D-7439: The first level for Super Mario 64 was Big Bob-Omb on the Summit where the goal is to climb a mountain and take out the bomb on the top, and it was…

Dr York: It was what? Disturbing?

D-7439: Yeah. The music that played was slowed down and distorted. The enemies had eyes that looked like they were gonna pop and they had a massive grin on their face. The colors of the world were very saturated and so were the NPCs. I felt terrified. True fear.
In the game there was a Chain Chomp, a metal ball that would attack you, and it was already disturbing in the game, so I was very worried. Of course, my worst fears were realized. The Chain Chomp was a ball of muscle, and those eyes. They just hang out of their sockets. And those teeth… I almost vomited.

Dr York: Assuming from what I've heard… let me just jot this down… Every enemy was like this?

D-7439: Well, yeah.

Dr York: Ok then… well then-

D-7439: Wait! Uh, There was this enemy, King Bob-Omb, he was the boss of the level.

Dr York: Did he do anything?

D-7439: No, he acted like he did in the game, in fact, he looked exactly like he did in the game. All polygonal, all normal.

Dr York: Hmm… I see.

D-7439: He was the worst one of them all. You have to pick him up and throw him two times in order to kill him. When you kill him he blows up and a star is revealed, so I picked him up and threw him, and… and…-

Dr York: What happened?

D-7439: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Dr York: Oh god.

D-7439: And then I picked up the star. It had this grin on its face, double the size of its body. It looked at me wherever I go it always looked at me. I'm done talking about this, I want a memory wipe.

Dr York: Don't worry. This is all I need. Your prescribed amnestics will come shortly.
