Super Mario Bros Star Scramble is one of those classic Flash Mario remixes that just nails the feel of the original while throwing in some new twists. You’ve got the same tight platforming—run, jump, stomp on Goombas—but with completely redesigned levels that keep you on your toes. The controls are simple (arrows to move, space to jump), but some of those coin placements? Brutal. I kept missing that one tucked behind the pipe in World 2 and had to backtrack like three times.

It’s got that perfect mix of nostalgia and "wait, I don’t remember this part," which is exactly what you want from a fan-made Mario game. The physics feel right, too—no weird floaty jumps or slippery slopes. Just pure, old-school platforming with a fresh coat of paint. If you’ve burned through the original SMB levels too many times, this one’s a solid way to trick your brain into feeling that first-time excitement again.
