Super Mario Universe II - The Adventure Resumes is one of those fan-made SNES romhacks that actually feels like a lost official sequel. It's got that classic Mario vibe—colorful worlds, tight controls, and those little secrets hidden in plain sight—but with some fresh twists. The first level throws you right into it: pipes that warp you to weird alternate paths, enemies that behave just differently enough to keep you on your toes, and a soundtrack that somehow nails that nostalgic 16-bit charm.

I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but after bouncing off a few Goombas and finding a hidden 1-Up behind a suspicious-looking bush, it clicked. This isn’t just a rehash—it’s a love letter to the original with enough new ideas to feel worth playing. The physics are spot-on, too—no weird floaty jumps or slippery slopes like some hacks suffer from. If you’ve ever wished for more Mario after finishing the classics, this one’s a solid fix.
