Mario Syndrome

Mario Syndrome is a well-known and surreal ROM hack developed by the group Lotsa Spaghette. It is a reimagining of the original Super Mario Bros., but built using the Super Mario World engine. This combination results in a unique 16-bit experience with bizarre, often unsettling graphical styles and significantly altered gameplay mechanics. It is celebrated in the community for its creativity and distinct aesthetic that sets it apart from typical Mario hacks.
