Mario & Wario is a 1993 puzzle-platform game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Super Famicom. The game requires the Super Famicom Mouse accessory to play. Despite being a Japanese-only release, the game is entirely in English.

The gameplay of Mario & Wario focuses on guiding Mario, who has various objects placed atop his head by his self-declared arch rival Wario, through a series of levels consisting of various obstacles and traps. Because Mario has been rendered sightless and is constantly in danger of walking into hazards, the player controls the fairy Wanda, who can protect Mario by changing the environment around him as he moves towards the levels' end. The game offers a total of 100 levels and offers three playable characters.
