Ever played Super Mario World and thought, "Man, this is way too easy"? Yeah, me neither—but someone out there did, and they made Mario Gives Up 2, a brutal ROM hack that cranks the difficulty to ridiculous levels. One wrong jump, and you're toast. Hidden blocks? Everywhere. Pits? Deeper. Enemies? Relentless. It's the kind of game where you'll die 20 times in the first five minutes and still come back for more.

If you're into punishing platformers that make you question your life choices, this one's a trip. Just don't throw your controller.
