Mario's Epic Adventure is one of those SNES gems that feels like a lost classic—even if you've never heard of it before. You start off with the usual jump-on-goombas, grab-coins routine, but then it throws in these weird little power-ups and secret paths that make it stand out. The controls are tight, and the levels have that perfect mix of "just one more try" frustration and "aha!" moments when you finally nail a tricky section.

What really got me was the music—some tracks sound like they could've been ripped straight from Super Mario World, while others have this weird, almost dreamy quality. And don't even get me started on the hidden warp zones; I stumbled into one by accident and ended up in this surreal night-time version of the first level. Definitely worth a play if you're into old-school platformers with a few surprises up their sleeves.
