Mario's 2 Ways 2 Victory is one of those weird, obscure SNES games that makes you go, "Wait, what?" at first. You start off thinking it's just another Mario platformer, but then the game throws a curveball—you actually pick between two totally different paths early on, and they play nothing alike. One's your standard jump-on-goombas affair, the other feels more like a puzzle-adventure hybrid with some janky but oddly satisfying mechanics.

The controls take a second to click, especially if you're used to tight Mario physics, but once you adjust, there's something weirdly charming about it. The music's got that classic SNES chip-tune energy, and the sprite work is surprisingly detailed for what feels like a budget title. Just don't expect Super Mario World polish—this one's rough around the edges in the best way.

If you're into digging up forgotten 16-bit oddities, this is a fun little time capsule.
