Ever played the original Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels and thought, "Man, this is brutal but kinda addictive?" Well, this SNES version cranks it up—same punishing jumps, weird wind physics, and poison mushrooms, but with smoother controls and that sweet 16-bit look. The first level tricks you into thinking it’s just a reskin, then suddenly you’re getting wrecked by hidden blocks and jumps that require pixel-perfect timing.

It’s basically the Dark Souls of Mario games—no saves, no mercy. You’ll replay the same section 20 times, swearing at the screen, then finally nailing it and feeling like a platforming god. The colors pop way more than the NES version, and the music’s got that classic SNES charm, even if it’s just remixed tunes. If you’re into retro masochism, this one’s a must.
