Trojanized Super Mario game used to install Windows malware

A trojanized installer for the popular Super Mario 3: Mario Forever game for Windows has been infecting unsuspecting players with multiple malware infections. Super Mario 3: Mario Forever is a free-to-play remake of the classic Nintendo game developed by Buziol Games and released for the Windows platform in 2003.

The game became very popular, downloaded by millions, who praised it for featuring all the mechanics of the classic Mario series but with updated graphics and modernized styling and sound.

Development of the game continued for another decade, releasing multiple subsequent versions that brought bug fixes and improvements. Today, it remains a post-modern classic.
