So, I stumbled onto this SNES ROM hack called Mario's Enigmatic Tales 1 - The Betrayal, and it's... weird in the best way. It's not your typical Mario game—more like someone took the Mushroom Kingdom and ran it through a mystery novel. The custom music gives it this eerie vibe, like you're playing a lost episode of an old adventure series.

You start off in a familiar-looking castle, but something's off—Bowser's nowhere in sight, and Mario's got this weird, almost detective-like role. The demo's short, but there are hints of a bigger story brewing, like why Peach seems suspiciously calm about everything. The controls feel like classic SNES Mario, but the tone? Totally different.

If you're into ROM hacks that twist the usual formula, this one's got a strange charm to it. Just don't expect any happy-go-lucky Koopa stomping.
