Super Mario 3 – Around the World Game

"Super Mario 3 – Around the World" is a delightful (if unofficial) twist on the classic Mario formula, bringing the mustachioed hero’s platforming antics to the SEGA Genesis in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Imagine the tight, colorful gameplay of Super Mario Bros. 3 but with a globe-trotting twist—each level introduces new themes and challenges inspired by real-world locations, from icy tundras to bustling cities. The game retains that satisfying mix of precision jumps, hidden secrets, and power-ups (hello, Tanooki Suit!), but with a SEGA-flavored polish that makes it stand out in the 16-bit era.

Whether you’re a die-hard Mario fan or just love a solid platformer, this one’s a hidden gem. It’s not an official Nintendo release, but that’s part of its charm—it’s like stumbling upon a lost chapter of Mario’s adventures. The levels are packed with creativity, the music bops, and the challenge is just right. If you’ve ever wondered what Mario would feel like on a Genesis, here’s your chance to find out!"
