User guide

The game follows a typical SMB3-style gameplay where Mario can run, jump, hit? Blocks, stomp on enemies, and more. The game's unique element is its health system, which is similar to that of Super Mario Bros. 2. However, collecting power-ups in the game grants Mario an extra hit point, and losing them does not affect his health. At the end of each level is a goal tape, which functions exactly like the one in Super Mario World.

The levels in the game are composed of 16 randomly stitched chunks and use random environments that do not affect the gameplay, except for the forest level, which features fog that can make it difficult to see what's below. The game has no ending, and it only stops when Mario loses all of his lives.

There are only three power-ups in the game, which can be found inside some [?] Blocks. The mushroom restores one of Mario's hit points, the fire flower grants him the ability to shoot fireballs, and the bomb flower allows him to throw bombs that shortly explode, damaging any enemies nearby.

When Mario dies in the game, the screen displays a Grand Theft Auto V styled "Wasted" screen.
