GBA Story: Part 4

Fiction
I pulled the cartridge from the Gameboy Advance SP and I threw it out my window. It landed in some mud outside and I laughed and I closed my window. I turned around. And I saw that the cartridge was back in my Gameboy. Mud oozed from it’s cartridge slot.
I gasped and I said to myself, "Nooo! It can not be!"
The gameboy turned itself back on. Mario’s face appeared with hyperrealistic skin pores and bloody chapped lips.
He spoke softly, "You stole me from my human. Now I, Mario of Nintendo of America Incorporated, curse you forever!"
I screamed aloud, louder than an eagle of the night, "There must be someway to undo this curse!"
I decided the only way to rid myself from this curse was to beat the game. I ran up to the first gap of the level. I pushed ‘A’ and Mario just screamed again.
"HO!"
I fell into the hole and Mario lost a life. This is when I noticed my skin began to rot and turn slightly green.
"What on Earth is happening, Mario?" I asked Mario.
"Every life yo
u lose, I will make you rot! Haah haah huah!"
I asked, "How can I beat the game with only screams? I cannot jump gaps by screaming!"
"Fuck you..." Mario said quietly.
I screamed.
"H O A H !"
