Mario Hit The Road is one of those old-school Flash games that somehow makes driving a tiny pixelated car way more intense than it should be. Mario’s got this weirdly overpowered kart—like, it handles like a shopping cart with a jet engine—and you’re just trying not to flip it on these ridiculous winding roads.

At first, I kept slamming into walls because the controls are super touchy (tapping the arrows lightly is key), but once you get the hang of tilting left and right to balance, it’s weirdly satisfying. The roads get narrower, there’s zero room for error, and somehow Mario’s just vibing like this is a totally normal Sunday drive. Classic.

It’s short, chaotic, and exactly the kind of game you’d play between homework assignments back in the day.
