Mario Star Scramble 2

You control Mario, running and jumping through side-scrolling levels filled with Goombas and Koopas. The main goal is to collect a set number of Shine Sprites to progress, which involves exploring each stage thoroughly. You'll find power-ups, like a fire flower for shooting projectiles, and navigate moving platforms and simple puzzles. The pacing is steady, with a difficulty that feels fair for a casual playthrough. It handles like a straightforward, responsive platformer from that era.
