Play Chaoji Maliou (C)(WRG) Online
Boot up this Chinese Mario 2 port and everything’s just slightly off—same veggie-chucking chaos, but the colors look weird and that iQue logo throws you before the familiar tunes kick in. Like playing a dream where all the details are 5% wrong.
Chaoji Maliou (C)(WRG) is a Chinese localization of the original Super Mario Bros. 2, released for the iQue Player, a console based on Nintendo 64 hardware that also played Game Boy Advance titles. The game was officially distributed in China by iQue, a joint venture with Nintendo, making it a legitimate but region-specific release. It stands as a curious artifact from a period when Nintendo was carefully testing its market presence in mainland China.
You control Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, or Toad, each with slightly different jumping and movement physics, as you work your way through vertically scrolling stages. The main objective involves pulling vegetables and other items from the ground to throw at enemies, a distinct change from the typical jumping-on-goombas action. Signature mechanics include picking up and carrying enemies to use as projectiles, and discovering hidden doors and warp zones that encourage exploration. The pacing is deliberate, with an emphasis on careful platforming and resource management rather than pure speed. It feels like navigating a familiar world where the rules have been quietly rewritten.
