Play Wario Bros (SMB1 Hack) Online

Wario Bros (SMB1 Hack) is exactly what it sounds like—a reskin of the original Super Mario Bros, but with Wario and Waluigi stomping through the Mushroom Kingdom instead. The first thing you notice is how weirdly satisfying it feels to control Wario’s chunky sprite jumping on Goombas. The physics are identical to the original, so if you’ve played SMB1, muscle memory kicks in immediately.

Some of the sprite swaps are a little rough—Waluigi’s colors clash with the backgrounds in a few spots—but the core gameplay is still tight. It’s strange how much personality the change adds, even though the levels are untouched. Watching Wario bounce off a Koopa shell just feels right.

If you’ve ever wanted to see Wario take on Bowser in 8-bit form, Wario Bros (SMB1 Hack) delivers exactly that.
