Play Mario's 2 Ways 2 Victory Online

I first played Mario's 2 Ways 2 Victory on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was one of those games that came out during the SNES era, a time when platformers were really defining what the console could do. I don't recall the specific developer off the top of my head, but it fit right in with the kind of experimental titles that tried to mix up the Mario formula.

You control Mario through a series of levels, with the main goal being to reach the end of each stage. The core mechanic is the "two ways" in the title; many levels present you with an upper and a lower path, and you have to choose one route to proceed. This choice often changes the enemies you face and the platforming challenges you encounter. You're also collecting coins and power-ups, like the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower, to help you survive. The pacing is fairly quick, and some of the later levels get quite difficult, demanding precise jumps. It feels like a puzzle platformer where your decisions directly shape the difficulty of your run.
