Play Super Mario - Colors Online

Game Overview

Super Mario - Colors is one of those fan mods that makes you go, "Wait, why didn’t Nintendo think of this?" It takes the classic SNES Mario we all know—same tight jumps, same hidden 1-Up mushrooms—but slaps a wild new coat of paint on everything. Grass glows neon, lava pits look like they’re straight out of a synthwave album, and even the boring old sky gets these dreamy gradients that make you stop mid-jump just to stare.

What’s cool is that it doesn’t mess with the gameplay. You’re still stomping Goombas and hunting for secret exits, but now it feels like playing inside a Lisa Frank sticker. Bowser’s castle? Suddenly it’s all moody purples and blues, like some vaporwave villain’s lair. The first time I saw Yoshi in electric green, I actually laughed out loud.

If you’ve played the original SNES Mario to death, this is the perfect excuse to dive back in. It’s familiar but fresh—like your favorite hoodie, but someone dyed it in a psychedelic wash. Just don’t blame me when you spend 10 minutes admiring the rainbow waterfalls instead of saving Peach.
