Mario Love - Super Mario Pac.

I've seen a lot of Mario mods in the past but, usually, they're new levels that are so hard to beat you feel like blowing your own brains out. So, we need someone to do something different, something that can actually be called fun. Enter Super Mario Pac!

The basic premise (which is pretty much the entire game) is to build a pipe so you can escape from the non-scrollable levels. Mario is equipped with a FLUDD (basically a jet pack powered by water) pac which allows him to fly around the level. He's also sporting a FLUDD water cannon to defend himself from those pesky flying enemies that populate the levels. However, the player must not forget to refill his FLUDD pac (in the little pool) or Mario will drop like a stone (try not to run out on the right-side of the pipe because you're stuck for good then).

Upon completing the pipe you have to poison the pesky little flower that pops up out of the pipe by dropping purple propellant blocks on it.

Sounds easy huh? Well, no, not really. On my first attempt I lost three lives on the first level alone. Maybe it's a testament to my poor gaming skills that I'm having trouble getting past World 2-1 but I do think they throw too many enemies at you too soon. Fun? To a point, yes. Frustrating? When has a Mario game not been frustrating?

Still, I'd love to avoid the firing squad so listen to Comrade Stalin and go download the tiny 920kb file from Hermitgames.
