This was a far cry from the side-scrolling platformers that had largely dominated the genre up until that point.

Lucky for us though, one dedicated Mario fan has partially recreated the game in Unreal Engine 4 and while you seemingly cannot play this recreation for yourself, it gives us a pretty good idea at what an official Nintendo remake might look like.
The project is the work of CryZENx who recreated the Road to Bowser, Bowser Fight, and Haunted House. Take a look at one such level below.
“God, this man might just be the master of the medium,” one comment read.

“I salute the work you’re doing, recreating all these nostalgic games,” another said. A very commendable project, that’s for certain.
