Colors is one of those SMW hacks that actually makes you stop and go, "Wait, what?" at least a couple times. It starts off looking like your usual Mario fare—jump on goombas, grab coins—but then the palette shifts start happening. Whole levels flip colors mid-run, and suddenly you're squinting at a neon nightmare or playing in grayscale like some kind of old TV test pattern.

The platforming itself is tight (it's still SMW at its core), but the real challenge is adjusting your eyes on the fly. I kept mistaking background tiles for platforms the first time through—turns out bright pink isn’t the most practical color for a jump you absolutely need to land. If you’ve played a ton of vanilla Mario World and want something that messes with your head a little, this one’s a fun detour.
