Super Mario Pac.

Super Mario Pac is a fusion between JetPac, a ZX Spectrum game by Ultimate who later became Rare, and Nintendo's Super Mario universe, taking selected graphics specifically from Super Mario World and themes and ideas from Super Mario Sunshine.

  • The jetpack looks a lot like the one from Super Mario Sunshine. Pretty fun game.
  • For a minute there, I thought Mario and Luigi had established their own PAC, but it's just a game. This platformer seems to have better gameplay at least.
  • My sister got horribly addicted to this a while ago. It wasn't uncommon to wake up at 2 in the morning to see her hunched over my computer, spraying water at turtles. She still couldn't get past level 3.
  • It's fun, but is there any way to pause?
  • I anyone can download and master this, I would be very grateful if you could explain to me how to do a number of things that I seem to be too clueless to figure out. Details at 11.
