Play Super Mario World - Puzzle of Doom Online

Game Overview

Okay, so imagine Super Mario World, but someone took all that perfect SNES platforming and turned it into this weirdly addictive sliding puzzle thing. You're still bouncing off Koopas and hunting for Yoshi, but now you're nudging blocks around like some kind of Mushroom Kingdom warehouse worker. The first few levels trick you into thinking it's easy—then suddenly you're sweating over timing jumps just right so a Piranha Plant doesn't wreck your carefully arranged path.

What's cool is how it keeps that bright, bouncy SMW vibe while making you actually stop and think. Sometimes I'd forget I was solving puzzles because the music and sprites pulled me right back into that 90s nostalgia. And yeah, it gets tough—but in that satisfying way where you finally figure out how to chain three shell kicks to clear a path.

Definitely worth dusting off the SNES for this one, or emulating it if you must. Just don't blame me when you get stuck on that one level with the Blarggs for an hour.
