Based on his profile in the official #WorldInDark #InfectionAU storyline by by Luft-P and proudwomenkisser69, here's #MegaMan

If the light in his head doesn't make it obvious, I'm leaning into the theory that an infected(?) Luma is controlling him. It's a cool idea!

#WorldInDark - Mario Survives AU
Reboot

Since it's been such a long time since I've touched my AU-of-an-AU where Mario survives the World In Dark storyline, I figured I'd do a reboot. If I keep going with this it won't follow as closely with the original storyline.

#InfectionAU

Haven't done much World in Dark recently, so I decided to do something fun and combine the Mario Survives AU and the Sole Survivor AU into one since both have Mario living instead of dying at the forefront.

#WorldInDark - #InfectionAU by Luft-P and proudwomenkisser69, both on TikTok.

What if... Donkey Kong survives?

Had a lot of fun with this idea. Since Diddy Kong just got killed in the AU, I figured doing something new with Donkey Kong would be fun.

World In Dark - What If?
Wario (INFECTED)

Not only will you get infected, you'll get infected AND probably smell really bad!

#SuperSmashBros - #WorldInDark
What if?
WARIO BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAST!!!

Simple enough premise- Wario finds Bomberman dismantled, so he turns his bike into a weapon of mass destruction!

Surely we can trust Wario with such power, right?.... Right?

"So, you are patient zero of this infection..."

"...."

"A weak response. See me as I am, unafraid of your rotting form.... I shall exterminate you myself!"

#WorldInDark - Infection AU:
What if Mario Survived? AU

#PacMan (Infected)

I had done a rough design in an earlier render where I established he had found Sonic and gave chase, so I decided to flesh it out a bit here.

Model is from SSBU.

#SuperSmashBros

Pretty self explanatory here, these are the survivors I would have picked if I wrote the storyline to World In Dark.

Of course the original storyline is fun too, so this is more for fun than anything.

World in Dark - Infection AU
What if Bowser Survives?

I mainly did this since, when I made Bowser's profile for my take on the AU, he was Dry Bowser. Figured making something for his fleshy form would be interesting.

In this different take on the World in Dark AU, the story is flipped.

In this scenario, Mario does not die first- he instead survives being attacked by an infected Kirby, but now has to navigate a world where everyone else is either dead or infected.

World in Dark - Based on the official AU:
Doctor Mario

I'm very curious as to where Doc's story is headed in the official AU. He seems too important to kill, but there's not an easy answer when it comes to who lives and who dies huh?

I had a LOT of fun bringing this concept to life! This was inspired partially by an Infected Peach concept I saw- mainly in regards to the mushrooms growing on him.

#WorldInDark - Intruders: Aigis

Hey, I DID say I'd stretch what I could reasonably include here. But, #Persona3 content does exist in Smash, sooooo...

Here's Aigis as an intruder in this what-if scenario to #SuperSmashBrosUltimate World in Dark!

"I have no data on this fighter. An intruder from another dimension. This will not do."

#WorldInDark - Intruders: Metal Sonic

I mentioned in the DA status this will probs be a one off thing. I just thought this would be cool scenario to have Metal in

"Marioooooo...?"

Just a simple what-if scenario for World in Dark where Luigi was infected. Not canon to the original or to my AU of the AU, just something I thought would be cool conceptually.
