Play Hyper Mari World 2 Online

Hyper Mari World 2 is one of those SNES games that feels like stumbling into a secret level nobody told you about. It’s got all the Mario vibes—bouncy jumps, those little *tinks* when you hit blocks—but then it throws in these wild power-ups and level gimmicks that make you pause and go, "Wait, that’s actually genius."

The first level tricks you into thinking it’s just a cozy nostalgia trip, but by the third stage, you’re dodging enemies in ways that feel borderline unfair (until you get the timing down). And the secrets? Half the fun is poking at suspicious-looking walls just to see if they hide a warp pipe or some ridiculous bonus room.

Honestly, it’s shocking this wasn’t an official release. If you’ve ever finished a Mario game and thought, "I wish this had weirder challenges," here’s your fix.
