Hello! Are there any Mario games I can buy to play on an iMac? I have the iMac 17" model. I looked at the Apple Store online but couldn't find any.

My favourite was Super Mario World. DO they have this for Mac, or are there like special versions with different levels?

Thanks!

Go to emulation.net, download the SNES emulator, and find some ROM's.

Okay, I went to emulation.net but that only seemed to give me programs pretending to be a Super Nintendo. Where can I buy the games for it??

There are no Nintendo games (besides Mario Teaches Typing) on the mac or pc, they've basically kept it to consoles... If you want to play Super Mario World, I heartily recommend those emulators, they work very well. (Even better, smoother graphics than your SNES console probably). If you want real Nintendo games, best place to go is to buy a Gamecube. Only 99 bucks now

You can't buy games for them, you need to download them illegally unfortunately. Search in a program like poisoned or mlmac for "Super Mario Rom" or whatever games you want.

Thank you guys! I eventually got al the bits working and they work! It's a bit of a shame that you can't just buy these somewhere, but oh well.

Uhhh, i just watched this mario replay, and i used to think i had skills when it came to mario but damn. That's just insane. Half the time i was laughing, half the time my jaw was down to the floor. UNBELIEVABLE SKILLS! There is no way that can be done again.

Is that the one where they completed Mario 3 in 11 minutes? (I can't check on this computer)

If so, I hate to burst your collective bubbles, but this movie and a lot of others out there like it were played with an emulator at very slow speeds and then sped up later.

It does look really cool, though.

that's still the craziest thing i've ever seen.

was looking around and just found out that there is a 45 minute video where they complete the whole game. I'm wondering if anyone has it or knows where i can go see it.
