Super Mario World - A New Year Walk is one of those weird little ROM hacks that turns the original game into a chill, festive stroll. Instead of stomping goombas, you're hopping through snowy levels with holiday music in the background—kinda like Mario took a vacation to a winter resort. The difficulty's toned way down, so it's perfect if you just want to zone out with some cozy platforming.

Weirdly enough, the snow physics actually feel nice—sliding down slopes has this satisfying weight to it. And the reskinned sprites? Bowser in a Santa hat shouldn’t work, but it does. If you’ve played the original to death, this is a fun little detour for the season.
