Super Mario World

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.

Each Mario is an experiment from the other, whether good or bad. It is always "Save-The-Princess-From-Bowser" in every game but the hook of each one is that the mechanics are different.

This time, You go through colorful levels with a big cape and Mario's dinosaur friend Yoshi is introduced to help Mario on his quest. He eats enemies, but he gets a different effect depending on the Koopa shell he eats. He eats a green shell and nothing happens except you roll it back. Eat a yellow shell he kills all ground enemies near him when he stomps on the ground. Eat a red shell and Yoshi shoots fireballs at enemies. Eat a blue shell and he flies in the sky.

To top that off, once you go to Star World, you will be introduced to Multi-Colored Yoshis. The Yellow Yoshis stomp groups of enemies if you eat any shell. The Red Yoshis shoot fireballs if he eats any shell. The Blue Yoshis (my favorite) fly using any shells.

Also, this game is the biggest and longest of all the Mario Games. There are big secrets that lead to different levels and switches (where you flip a switch of a color and blocks of that color appear, occasionally leading to another secret level). The secret system in this game is the hook of this game. You must defeat all of the levels and find the secrets to unlock a different version of the game (where the Koopas have big heads and Piranha Plants are pumpkin heads). Some secrets are easy while others are a bit hard. You also have to determine whether you will approach Bowser through the Front Door or the Back Door. Either way, you will throw wind-up Bowser dolls at Bowser flying in a clown copter.

The game is bigger than the games before it. The flight mechanics are more refined than in Super Mario Bros. 3. There are secrets. Yoshi is introduced.

This game gets a 10 out of 10.

PS: If you think that this game is very difficult, you ain't seen nothing' until you play Super Mario Bros. 3, which has a crooked save system, cheap enemies, big obstacles, and a bit of a bleak tone compared to the others.

Also, get the Game Boy version of Super Mario World. It has better graphics, sound, and a guide of what levels you completed (handy for finding out where secrets are).

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.

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

THis is the best Mario game ever in my opinion. Everything about it is awesome. Getting to use Yoshi, being able to fly using the cape, finding secret levels, and playing through star world to create alternate looks for enemies in the game (I wont give away what they look like). I have played this game since I was seven years old and I still never get sick of it. The music is great and the animation is the best of any Mario game made until this one was.

The only complaint is that Luigi looks more like Mario wearing green rather than Luigi. Whatever.

So by all means play this game. It is one of the best games ever made and easily one of the two best ever made for SNES, the other being Donkey Kong.
