How to play Super Masao 2 on Mac

A side-scrolling action game originally published on Naoto’s Script in 2001. It consists of 17 stages including hidden one and its goal is to find a star in each stage, collect 4 stars at least and defeat the boss in the last stage. The author, Naoto Fukuda, is known for his taste for making parody games. Therefore, it is basically inspired by a series of Super Mario Bros. (especially Super Mario 64). Many enemies look very similar to Pokémon characters. It is often mentioned as the most popular browser game on the Japanese Internet in the early 2000s.

Play Super Masao 2 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Super Masao 2 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).
