Have you ever wanted to play Mario… without actually playing Mario? EPOCH is here to solve this previous nonexistent koan with their Super Mario Maze Game Deluxe, a “tabletop action game” where you traverse a dangerous castle maze to stomp Bowser and rescue Princess Peach. You even play it with a joystick!
Of course, the construct doesn’t utilize so much as a single pixel, instead having 4 interchangeable maze parts that change how you go through the game. It’s a pretty nifty concept for a toy, and would be a nice gift for any child past toddler age.
