Hotel Mario vs Mari0

Hotel Mario is a puzzle‑platformer where Mario and Luigi must shut every door across multiple hotel floors while battling mischievous enemies that reopen them. Using elevators to move between levels, players navigate seven Koopa‑run hotels, each with a set of increasingly tricky stages.

Mari0 blends the classic 8‑bit Super Mario Bros. platforming with the portal‑gun mechanics from Portal, letting you jump, run, and shoot portals to solve puzzles and fling Mario across levels. Developed by Maurice Guégan of Stabyourself.net, the game runs on the LÖVE framework and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux under a Creative Commons BY‑NC‑SA license. The game includes the original Super Mario level designs, custom test chambers, a level editor, multiple graphic sets, and supports up to four players in cooperative play, with online multiplayer planned for future updates.
