The game was an attempt to essentially recreate ''Super Mario World'' for the [[Royal Philips Electronics]] console, but due to different software, several features could not be included in the game, such as large numbers of sprites and the Mode 7 graphics mode. With the negative reception of the previous Philips [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario''-franchise]] game, ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', and, overall, the commercial failure of the CD-i, it was ultimately [[List of unreleased media|canceled]], officially ending the CD-i career of Silas Warner, who had expected Nintendo's exact reaction.
