Super Mario World was the pack-in game at the Super Nintendo's initial launch. It introduced Yoshi to the series, and set a new standard for many platformers to come. Many say this is the best Super Mario of them all.
The game follows Mario as he must traverse several different themed worlds, fighting against the minions of Bowser to once again rescue Princess Peach. Super Mario World first introduced Yoshi the dinosaur, who has since become a favorite among fans and went on to star in his own games, such as Yoshi's Story, Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, and Yoshi Touch & Go. Mario could ride Yoshi in all stages except for castles and fortresses, and could make Yoshi shoot out his long tongue to snare and eat enemies. The game also introduced the cape power-up which allowed him to fly and glide in a slightly different manner than he did in the previous game, Super Mario Bros. 3.
Creator Shigero Miyamoto has stated that due to pressure to release a new Mario game to compete with Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, he did not think the game was as good as he hoped it would be, lacking the story and emotion he had envisioned.
Super Mario World was the first game to give the player a reward for achieving 100% completion, by beating each level and finding all the secrets. When this was accomplished the player could replay the game in EXTRA mode, where several enemies' sprites have been changed and the overworld's color scheme changes. For instance, once-brown "Chocolate Island" turns green, while the green grass in other areas change to brown, and the green forest does as well.
Side note
Super Mario World took 29,000 hours to program.
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
This game is mostly the same as Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo. Some of the minor differences that were made for this version on the Game Boy Advance were the ability to slightly move the camera and additional noises that Mario and Luigi make. Yoshi coins were also included in every level. Yoshi coins previously appeared only in certain levels in the original Super Mario World. In addition to that, you can save your progress after each level, making it better to take with you and play a little here and there on the GBA, you can also check how much of the game you have completed.
