Mario's Amazing Adventure is one of those hidden SNES gems that never got the hype it deserved. You start off with the usual Mario platforming—jumping on goombas, grabbing coins—but then it throws in these weird power-ups, like a boomerang hat that actually comes back to you (unlike some other games where it just vanishes). The levels get pretty creative too, with one where you're bouncing on giant mushrooms like trampolines.

Graphics are solid for a late-era SNES game, with some parallax scrolling that still looks nice. The music’s got that classic upbeat Mario vibe, though a couple tracks get stuck in your head for better or worse. It’s not Super Mario World, but if you’ve burned through the big titles and want something with that same feel but a few fresh twists, this one’s worth digging up.
