Gameplay
Trap Adventure 2 is a nightmarish version of the original Super Mario Bros, and has a similar gameplay to Cat Mario. It is mostly a flip-screen game, but one part uses vertical scrolling. The game offers two modes for the player: normal mode and last chance mode. As the player runs and jumps into everything, a never-ending series of spikes, flames and other booby traps appear out of nowhere to kill the player, and once the lives are all gone, it forces the player to start the game over again at the beginning. The amount of lives players have increase as the player plays more rounds of the game. Players have stated that the game is impossible to beat.[6][7]
Reception
Polygon describes it as a “masocore” game in the vein of ultra hard platformers.[8] Kotaku says the reason for Trap Adventure 2's sudden popularity was a video that was posted on Twitter in January 2018 that illustrates just how cruel and hilarious the game can be.[1]
