Play Super Awesome World Online

Man, Super Awesome World is one of those SNES games that just sticks with you. The first time I booted it up, I was hooked by the colors—bright, punchy pixel art that pops off the screen like a Saturday morning cartoon. You start off with this little dude who can dash, wall-jump, and grab power-ups that totally change how you play. One minute you're tossing fireballs, the next you're bouncing around like a pinball. It's chaotic in the best way.

The levels are packed with secrets, too. I remember getting stuck on this one jungle stage until I noticed a weird vine hanging just off-screen. Turns out, half the fun is poking at every corner to find hidden paths or goofy Easter eggs. And the bosses? Huge, screen-filling monsters that make you feel like a genius when you finally figure out their patterns.

What really got me was the music—peppy chiptune tracks that burrow into your brain and won’t leave. Even the enemies have personality, like these little mushroom guys that panic and run when you stomp near them. It’s the kind of game that makes you grin the whole way through. If you’ve got a soft spot for SNES-era platformers, this one’s a no-brainer.
