    Another Excellent Mario Game

    Rated E.

    Super Mario World is another game in the Mario series.It started out with Donkey Kong in 1981 which was the first appearance of Mario and Donkey Kong.It then went on in 1982 with the games Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Jr(where Mario was the villain) then finally it was in 1985 when Mario became famous with Super Mario Bros.Two sequels were released after that.The after Super Mario Bros 3 came Super Mario world which could be the fourth game in the series.Today Mario and all the characters in the series are very famous.I played Super Mario World as one of the three games in the Marine Land arcade in Ontario.The other two were The Simpsons and Guardians Of The Hood.Super Mario World is a very fun game.This game introduces Yoshi.The gameplay is pretty much the same as the other three games besides Yoshi but who cares? Super Mario World is a very fun game and I recommend it.

    10/10

    The best SNES game ever

    Super Mario World is the best game ever made for the Super Nintendo system. The game play is good and the graphics are an improvement over the original Nintendo games. It combines old and new powers for Mario and Luigi. The mushroom and fire flower are back. The new ones include the feather which give you the cape and a balloon which makes you large and able to float up. There is also a new character, Yoshi! So, this game is pretty good and worth playing.

    Super Mario World!

    Super Mario Bros. is one of the most famous video games of all time! The characters, the jumping, the power-ups, and the sure thrill of adventure makes this entire series a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

    Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

    Graphics: The graphics are wonderful. The backgrounds are really beautiful!

    Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you''s find out that it will become more difficult!

    Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

    Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

    Overall: I have always loved Super Mario Brothers! If you like excellent adventure games then I strongly recommend you play this game!

    To purchase this video game check out Amazon.com!

    One of the best games ever.

    Super Mario World for the Super NES is one of the greatest games of all-time. The graphics, for its time, are very good, and the game is extremely fun. This is the first appearance of Yoshi, the green dinosaur that Mario rides on throughout the game. There are many hidden secrets in this game, and the replay value is great just because there are so many secrets and the game is so fun. This game is pretty easy at first, but then gets pretty hard later in the game because there are like, 99 freaking' levels in it. This is one of the greatest platform games of all-time, and if you don't own a Super Nintendo, you can get the remake of it on GBA or you can download it to your Wii. 10/10.

    Best Mario game, ever!

    Super Mario Bros. (1985) on NES was amazing. Endless excitement through challenging levels and cool music to keep you up and going. The next two sequels were great as well, but it was in 1991 when Super NES gave the opportunity to game designers to take full advantage of better sound and graphics. Super Mario World was one of those games! Super Mario World has outstanding graphics, sound and control in the game play. Much more enemies and traps were added to this game keeping the same world concept of Super Mario Bros. 3, where you are allowed to complete levels in each world and go back. This powerful release on Super Nintendo quickly sold millions as fans had never experienced such a powerful, action-packed Mario game in history.

    Introducing, Yoshi. Yep, a green dinosaur who is Mario and Luigi's friend- feed him berries to get bonuses, use him to cast enemies out your way and use Yoshi to walk through hard to reach areas. Alternatively, there are other color Yoshis that do different things than the green Yohsi.

    Overall- Super Mario World is great and still holds it's trophies to this day.

    Music- Very calming, jazz with a twist of calypso and a dash of salsa. Koji Kondo made wonders in the music of Super Mario World.

    Graphics- Excellent background design, character details and smooth motion. All colors are well put in this game.

    Sound- No more harsh synthesized lead sounds when jumping or skidding. Super Nintendo allowed quality rendition of sounds, hence, bringing more excitement to what you hear while playing.

    Controls- Very convenient and responsive on the call. The two top buttons on the Super NES allow convenient left and right scrolling in the level, allowing you to see what's ahead. Pressing the select button on pause takes you out the level, as a lifesaver. One new feature added to the Mario game.

    I love Super Mario World. I will love it forever, and ever. I'll be playing it even when I have great grandchildren.

    • Trivia
      At one point, the design team was going to put a "No Yoshi Allowed" sign in the game. Instead, they made an animation of Mario jumping off Yoshi when entering haunted houses, fortresses, and castles.
    • Goofs
      If you defeat a boss or win the game with Luigi, Mario's name is in the narrations and not Luigi's.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Text Narration: Welcome! This is Dinosaur Land. In this strange land we find that Princess Toadstool is missing again! Looks like Bowser is at it again!

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, you see images of all the enemies in the game.
    • Alternate versions
      In the Japanese version of the game, Yoshi can eat the Dolphins. International versions of the game removed this ability in order to avoid confusion for the players.
