I know, stupid AF that I can’t get it to work. For the life of me, I’m not able to play the game on the pc. Of course I can just play in the browser, but I wanted to install it on my Linux machine and fire it up whenever I wanted to. I haven’t tried for a while, but I remember trying a couple of months earlier and there was an app that installed and launched but my controller wouldn’t work with it. I know about super tux, but I wanted Mario. There is only snapcraft app to install called mari0, but I don’t use snaps. Could someone please help me get it installed without going through the whole retro arch thing? Thank you

You would need to emulate it. I assume you mean the NES version since you say the original one? In that case you would need to find a NES emulator and a ROM of the game. If you don't dump the ROM yourself from a cartridge you own, you are in legally dubious territory. I am not sure about this community's stance on piracy, but there are several communities on here that are completely fine with that and can help you along.
