Game summary

Super Luigi and the Golden Shrooms is an unofficial freeware fan game starring Luigi from the Mario series. You need to explore many different areas to find and collect golden mushrooms. There are lots of golden mushrooms scattered all over the Mushroom Kingdom. When all of them are collected, they function as a key, allowing you into a vault filled with riches. Unfortunately, these mushrooms are scattered everywhere, so collecting them will be a long and difficult task. Luckily, Luigi has plenty of free time, so he heads off in search of these mushrooms.

Play Super Luigi and the Golden Shrooms on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Super Luigi and the Golden Shrooms 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).
