Ever played Super Mario World so much you could run through it blindfolded? This romhack—Eyeless (Director's Cut)—actually makes you do that. No, seriously. The entire game’s pitch black except for Mario’s sprite and a tiny circle of light around him. You’re basically feeling your way through levels you thought you knew, listening for familiar sound cues while enemies and pits come out of nowhere.

At first, it feels impossible—like trying to navigate your room at 3 AM without turning the lights on. But after a few brutal deaths, you start memorizing jumps by sound and counting steps. That first time you nail a blind Yoshi flight across Chocolate Island? Pure adrenaline. Just don’t throw your controller when a hidden Piranha Plant nabs you for the tenth time.

It’s a brutal but weirdly satisfying twist on a classic. Only for masochists who’ve already 96-exited the original.
