Man, Super Kario World on SNES is pure nostalgia in cartridge form. You boot it up and bam—that bouncy soundtrack hits you right away while Kario does his little stretch animation. The first level throws you straight into it: running through green hills, stomping on goombas, and grabbing those floating question blocks (still satisfying every time).

What I love is how simple it feels at first, but then you start finding secrets—hidden warp pipes, invisible blocks with power-ups, even whole alternate exits. And those graphics? Still charming as heck, with those bright colors and squishy enemy animations. Bowser’s castles actually feel dangerous with the lava pits and hammer bros lurking around corners.

It’s one of those games where you’ll replay levels just to hear the music or hunt down that one missing coin. Classic platforming at its best.
