Devil’s Asylum

What is Devil’s Asylum?

Devil’s Asylum is a sinister and chilling reimagining of the traditional Super Mario World adventure, which takes place in New York City in 1982. In the scenario, Mario is led by a mysterious entity into a nightmarish landscape filled with disturbing religious motifs and creative level design. The game juxtaposes the classic with the morbid as Mario looks for clues and struggles with the destiny of Pauline. Six stages of heightened tension provide the player with the Devil’s Asylum experience that is both chillingly odd and unlike any traditional Mario game.

How to Play

Gamers take control of Mario as he moves through the six different stages, each one sporting spooky settings and lethal pitfalls. The gameplay keeps the Super Mario World basic mechanics of jumping, running, and gathering items; however, it also introduces new angles to match the grim ambiance. Mario can earn new powers during his journey that will aid him in making it back from the netherland through the abyss. There is a choice and consequence element in the game, where the choices made by the players will alter the plot and decide Mario's ultimate fate.

Tips & Tricks

• Weigh Your Choices: Your choices will determine the story’s direction, so be sure to think about which way is best before making a decision.
• Save Often: The game can be extremely challenging, so it is advisable to save your game frequently in order not to lose the progress made through hard work.
