How to play Banzai Mario World on Mac

Game summary

Banzai Mario World features: -Tons of levels and secret stuff, for a total of 40 exits! That makes it one of the longest Kaizo hacks ever made. -Plenty of custom music, sprites, blocks, and graphics. -An easy, beginner friendly difficulty level that should be able to introduce players to Kaizo. No more frusturation over not being able to beat something! -There's a unique ASM gimmick in virtually every level! -Six themed worlds and one special unlockable level, making it a truly full-length Kaizo hack. -Ninety-nine lives given in the beginning of the game, so no more game overs (hopefully)! -A hidden moon in every single level for the completionists out there. -A difficulty level that can work as a perfect first Kaizo hack, although the hack fits well for players of all skill levels.

Play Banzai Mario World on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Banzai Mario World on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
