BS Super Mario USA - Dai-4-kai is one of those weird, obscure SNES titles that feels like a lost episode of Mario. It was originally broadcast in Japan via the Satellaview add-on, so unless you're emulating or hunting down rare hardware, you probably missed this one.

It's basically a remix of Super Mario Bros. USA (the Western version of Mario 2) with some odd twists—different level layouts, time limits, and even voice clips from a radio host-style narrator. The controls are the same floaty jumps and veggie-pulling you remember, but the levels throw curveballs, like sudden enemy swarms or tight platforming sections. First time I played, I got wrecked by a random Pidgit swarm in World 1-2.

If you're into Mario deep cuts or just love seeing Nintendo experiment with weird ideas, this is a neat little time capsule. Just don't expect it to play like a standard Mario game.
