Trap Adventure 2 is a 2D platform game made by Hiroyoshi Oshiba. The game is known for its very hard levels, with endless traps similar to Cat Mario . [1] [2] It was originally released in 2016 for iOS and gained popularity in 2018. [3] [4] [5]
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: normal mode and last chance mode. In last chance mode, the player only has one life. An optional normal mode is available via in-app purchase. When bought, the player will have multiple lives and when they level up, they will get more lives. 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 all lives are gone, it forces the player to start the game over again at the beginning with no checkpoints. The number of lives of players will increase as the player passes more levels of the game. Players have stated that the game is impossible to beat, [6] [7] although it has been beaten. [8]
Polygon describes it as a "masocore" game in the vein of ultra hard platformers. [9] 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]
A platformer is a sub-genre of action video games in which the core objective is to move the player character between points in an environment. Platform games are characterized by levels with uneven terrain and suspended platforms of varying height that require jumping and climbing to traverse. Other acrobatic maneuvers may factor into the gameplay, such as swinging from vines or grappling hooks, jumping off walls, gliding through the air, or bouncing from springboards or trampolines.

Kaizo is a philosophy of game design, specifically platforming games, distinguished by a high degree of strictness placed upon the player's intended actions and movements through a level. This emphasis on precision, which manifests in the form of extremely-precise character movement, asks the player to use high levels of skill and knowledge of the game's physics and engine in order to accomplish tasks. The philosophy is most closely associated with ROM hacks of Super Mario World and with custom levels created in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2, but has been cited as an influence in other fan-made and original game designs.
