The '''bonus game''' is a special [[minigame]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It can be entered only by collecting 100 [[Goal Star|Bonus Star]]s at the [[Giant Gate]]s. When that is done, the bonus game automatically starts just after the {{wp|iris shot|iris out}} at the end of the [[level]]. The bonus game takes place in a [[Switch Palace]]-styled room that [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] enters via [[Warp Pipe]]. There are nine [[Item Box]]-like blocks, eight of which are circling around the ninth. The ninth block is the only one that has a stable [[List of items|item]] in it (a [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], or [[Super Star]]); the others are constantly changing their items. The player's task is to hit the circling blocks from below to stop their reels on a matching item. The actual game works just like {{wp|tic-tac-toe}}: Getting three of the same item in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally), no matter which item it is, earns the player a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. The player can win up to eight [[extra life|extra lives]]. It is impossible to get exactly seven 1-Up Mushrooms in this bonus game. All attempts to do so either miss the seventh or add an eighth.

*A composition of the bonus game music is one of the songs in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', under the title "[[Step by Step]]." The rendition combines elements of the Switch Palace song as well.

*In the game's code, the bonus game is either level 0x000 or level 0x100 (depending on the level from which the player arrived). If for any reason a Warp Pipe, door, or other "screen exit" warps to one of these levels, a player using that exit will get stuck in an endless bonus game, at least until the timer expires or they exit by pressing {{button|snes|start}} and {{button|snes|select}}. It is actually possible to do this in an unmodified game by using [[glitch]]es.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=nathanisbored|date=June 17, 2012|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCwpNUS-caM|title=Bonus Game Entrance error via Yoshi Wings (''Super Mario World'' Glitch)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 27, 2023}}</ref>

*In the original version of the game, the 1-Up Mushrooms that appear behave differently from normal ones; specifically, they cannot be eaten by [[Yoshi]]. This is not the case in the [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|GBA reissue]].
