Ever played a Mario game where the power-ups are out to get you? That’s Super Mario - Mushroom of Death in a nutshell. It’s a wild SNES romhack that flips the script—those helpful mushrooms? Yeah, they’ll wreck you now. Jumping feels familiar, but the second you grab what should be a 1-up, you’re toast. The level design’s just twisted enough to make you second-guess every block.

First time I played, I instinctively lunged for a floating mushroom like an idiot. Instant game over. You start memorizing trap placements, but then the game throws curveballs—hidden stars, fake pipes, the works. It’s chaotic in the best way. If you’ve burned through the original SNES Mario games and need something meaner, this’ll keep you swearing at your CRT.
