Super Mario Star Scramble 2 - Ghost Island

You control Mario through a series of single-screen arenas. The moment-to-moment play involves running and jumping to collect coins and the main objective, stars, while dealing with enemies. You can stomp on some creatures to defeat them, but the ghosts from the island's theme require different tactics, often needing to be avoided entirely. The pacing is brisk, with each stage presenting a compact challenge to gather everything before moving on. It feels like a quick, focused test of platforming precision in a condensed space.
