Game summary

If you remember the oldest of Mario games, you cannot just pass this title by! Mario Forever is a remake of the classic Super Mario Bros game, which will make you busy for long hours, even if you haven't played Mario before! Impersonate the friendly plumber once more to guide him through 8 different worlds of this platform game, through countless monsters and obstacles, to help him beat the evil dragon Koopa and save the imprisoned Princess Peach – all while listening to pleasant, cheerful music.

Play Mario Forever on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Mario Forever 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).
