Super Mario World - Mario Gives Up Game

"Super Mario World - Mario Gives Up" is a quirky, fan-made twist on the SNES classic that turns the Mushroom Kingdom’s usual cheer on its head. Imagine Mario, fed up with rescuing Princess Peach (again), deciding to throw in the cap—literally. This romhack flips the script with hilarious, unexpected gameplay changes, like Mario refusing to jump or even tossing his iconic power-ups aside in defeat. It’s a fresh, tongue-in-cheek take on the beloved original, packed with inside jokes and clever subversions that’ll make longtime fans laugh (or cry).

While it’s not an official Nintendo release, this mod captures the charm of Super Mario World while poking fun at its tropes—perfect for players who’ve memorized every pixel of Dinosaur Land and crave something delightfully absurd. Whether you’re in it for the nostalgia or the sheer novelty of a grumpy Mario, this hack is a short but unforgettable detour down memory lane. Just don’t blame us if you start sympathizing with his existential crisis after the 100th Goomba stomp!
