SCP-5167 - Inaccessible Level Painting



The Inaccessible Level Painting is a anomaly residing within the fourth floor of Princess Peach's Castle. Although the location of the painting is inconsistent and varies between copies, numerous reports state that the painting's appearance is preceded by severe anomalous phenomena within the game, and is often inaccessible without utilizing various glitches in the game, such as the Backwards Long Jump.

Upon entering the general area around the painting, the first thing you will notice is that all the colors in the game screen gradually switch to sepia tones, this visual effect getting more intense the closer one is to the painting. The second thing you will notice is that the music will change to a new soundtrack.

What lies beyond the painting is unknown, as all reports of this anomaly state that the game inexplicably crashes upon attempting to enter the painting, causing an intense version of AI Dementia where the game gradually deletes all of its assets throughout a period of time ranging from 10 minutes to a day.

In theory, the game could be manipulated to allow access into the area attached to the painting, however, no reports have surfaced of this happening, causing many theories to be spawned many theories about what lies beyond the painting.

 "Or so they say.

Think about it for a second.

''So far, Nintendo hasn't been hiding anomalies in game. Sure, there have been rumors and reports of them suppressing reports of these anomalies, but so far there hasn't been a single documented case where an anomaly is concealed inside the game itself. ''

This, combined with the fact that the painting's appearance is seemingly hidden very well, and this should paint a very disturbing image.

''Whatever the hell's in there is hidden for a reason, and honestly? ''

I think it should stay that way."
