Mario's Super Picross

199586/100
Puzzle
Super Picross demands a specific kind of logic, a methodical approach to its grid-based puzzles. Players chip away at the board, using numbers to deduce which squares to fill and which to leave empty, a process that rewards patience and careful deduction. The game’s core loop, the satisfaction of revealing a pixel art image, kept players hooked, even as the challenge ramped up through hundreds of puzzles.

About Mario's Super Picross

Details
Mario's Super Picross is the first sequel to the Game Boy game, Mario's Picross, and can be played on the Super Famicom. After the commercial failure of Mario's Picross in the West, this sequel was released only in Japan. The game plays much the same way as the first, except Wario appears in it and presents his own set of special rules, which also return in the sequel. Other features includes game-saves, hints and tutorials.
