Play Sendy's World Online

Sendy's World on the SNES is one of those games you stumble upon and immediately wonder why more people aren’t talking about it. The second you boot it up, you’re hit with this bright, bouncy world full of weird little creatures and levels that feel like they were designed by someone who had way too much fun making them.

It plays like a classic platformer—tight jumps, hidden paths, the usual—but there’s this goofy energy to everything. One minute you’re bouncing on mushrooms, the next you’re dodging a parade of enemies that look like they escaped from a cartoon. The music’s got that perfect SNES chirpiness, too—the kind that gets stuck in your head after just one level.

What I love is how it doesn’t just copy the big names of the era. Yeah, there’s some Super Mario World vibes, but Sendy’s got its own weird charm. Found myself laughing at some of the enemy designs, and there’s a surprising amount of little secrets tucked away if you poke around. If you’ve got a soft spot for 16-bit games that feel alive, this one’s a blast.
