Did those Mario Adventure books give you nightmares?

[Monfriez]

Seeing the Choose Your Own Adventure books in the Mario Mania section reminded me how creepy they were.

Clones, who didn’t know they were clones, made out of sand
Huge Mixers that fused people and monsters together, in one ending Mario and Luigi become a two head monster
When Mario dies it’s usually a gruesome death

I know there’s more but I don’t want to think about it too much

I don't remeber reading a Mario Choose your adventure book, but I Do remeber some pretty freaky ones. As a youngster, the prospect of being turned into a tree and trying to call out but not being able to speak was quite unappealing.

Kweeh! Forget Whark! Kweeh! Is better!
