Easily one of the most enjoyable experiences on the SNES. Better yet there are various hidden Yoshi variants that have unique powers of their own. The addition of Yoshi adds a whole new layer of gameplay allowing the player to take advantage of the green dinosaur’s impressive power. Super Mario World is the same game in one or two player mode, but the cooperative efforts of two make the game much more enjoyable.
There are hours and hours of secrets to be unlocked and plenty of room for some two player action. The simple platforming action is timeless and easily much more complex than its predecessors. This is by far the best Mario adventure to date and it has been over 20 years since its release in North America. It helps alot that the SNES controller is one of the most comfortable of all time and Super Mario World surely takes advantage of this. These new moves such as the spin jump offer a fresh twist on the Super Mario by allowing the player to perform more actions and interact more completely with the environment. In this game in the series additional actions are incorporated to better utilize the SNES controller which offers more buttons than its NES counterpart. Although the graphics are impressive to a point, they are no match for games like Donkey Kong Country and Starfox, which take the SNES to its graphical limit.Īs with most Super Mario entries the controls are simple, but very tight and responsive. The player sprites are impressively detailed for a SNES game and even the minor characters are well done.
All the colors are presented to create a fun and exciting 2-D world and are varied greatly throughout the game. Graphics: 9/10 (Based on the SNES console’s capabilities)Īlthough by today’s standards these graphics would be considered rather basic, for 1991 these were top of the line. Its popularity to this day should be no surprise considering the various re-releases of the game, and the fact that it had become a collectors item to many (an unopened, factory sealed Super Mario World (SNES) goes for like $700 on amazon.) Anyway enough of the nonsense on with the review: Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, released August 13th 1991 is easily one of the greatest platform games of all time and arguably the best game in the Mario series to date.
