Play Super Mario World - A Christmas Walk Online

Ever played Super Mario World so much you could run through it blindfolded? This Christmas mod gives it a fresh coat of snow—literally. Koopas in Santa hats, Yoshi with tiny antlers, and Bowser’s castles looking like they got hit by a blizzard. It’s the same tight jumps and secret exits you remember, but now with sleigh bells in the soundtrack and candy cane platforms that make you feel like you’re platforming through a holiday special.

Not gonna lie, the first time I saw a snowman replace a Piranha Plant, I grinned like an idiot. It’s clearly a fan project, but the charm’s there—especially when you stumble on little details, like presents hidden in blocks or the way the music gets all jingly. If you’ve got five minutes and an emulator, it’s a surprisingly cozy way to wreck Bowser’s holiday plans.
