In the'mario dark story', perhaps the friendly Toads are actually mind - controlled slaves. They seem so helpful to Mario, but in a darker view, they are forced to be so. Also, the power - star could be a cursed object that gives Mario temporary power but at a great cost to his long - term well - being.
One example could be the characters he meets on his journey. Some of them might not be as friendly as in the regular version. They could be more menacing and try to deceive him for their own gain. Another example is that the consequences of his lying could be more extreme, like not just his nose growing but facing more dangerous and immediate threats.
Perhaps in the 'sonic free riders dark story', there are examples of the race tracks being haunted or having some sort of dark energy that affects the racers' performance. For instance, the tracks could be in a dilapidated state with strange, shadowy figures lurking around, causing distractions or even harm to the racers. Another example could be that one of the main characters discovers a hidden truth about the racing competition that is actually a front for a more nefarious plan, like sacrificing the winners to an ancient evil.
One example could be 'The Haunting of Hill House'. It's a classic dark house story where the house seems to have a life of its own and torments the people who stay there.
In the story of 'Pinocchio', the dark aspect is his lying which makes his nose grow longer and gets him into various troubles. He also gets kidnapped by the Puppet - master.

I'm sorry, but without more information about 'f2p9 dark forest stories', I can't give specific examples. However, if they are typical dark forest stories, an example could be a story where a young girl gets lost in the forest and encounters a friendly fairy who helps her find her way home. But this is just a general example and not from the specific 'f2p9' stories.
There are also mystery novels that seem to hold back on the real darkness. Say a mystery where a crime has been committed but the motives are very basic and the consequences for the perpetrator are not as complex or dire as they could be. It's like the novel is skimming the surface of what could be a really dark and complex mystery, making it not dark enough.
Let's say there's a fantasy series with a very dark villain who tortures the heroes. In an anti - dark fanfiction, the villain could be redeemed. The heroes could use their love and friendship to turn the villain good. Another example could be a science - fiction story where the future is depicted as a desolate and hopeless place. The anti - dark fanfiction could show how people work together to make the future bright again, with new technologies being used for good rather than destruction.
As I'm not familiar with the '24 love story', I can only guess at examples. Maybe in this story, there are 24 characters involved in some way in the love story. For example, 24 friends who all play a role in either bringing the couple together or causing problems in their relationship. One friend might introduce the two main characters on day 1, and another might try to break them up on day 15. There could also be 24 locations that are important to the story, like the place where they first met which could be a coffee shop, and the place where they had their first kiss which could be on a beach.
