How to play Mario Royale on Mac

Game summary

Fan-made, free-to-play online game which it drops 75 players into either world 1, 2, or 3 from Super Mario Bros. for the NES. In order to win, you have to be one of the first three players to reach the castle at the end of the world. While you can't directly impede the progress of other players (who are represented by a "ghost" effect) just by running into them or around them, it is possible to utilize power-ups like stars to knock out the competition.

Play Mario Royale on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Mario Royale 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).

Mario Royale installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Mario Royale like you would on any PC.
