The '''Special Zone''', also referred to as the '''Special World''',<ref> | The '''Special Zone''', also referred to as the '''Special World''',<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Pages 36, 151, 156, 158-167.</ref> is the ninth and final area in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' that can only be accessed by a secret [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]] in [[Star World]]. The levels are located in various environments and are designed to be much more difficult to clear than all the other levels in the game. The names of the levels are also peculiar for ''Super Mario World'' stage names; they are all based on '80s slang (including [[Tubular]], [[Mondo]], and [[Way Cool]]). If [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] clear all the levels, a new Star Road will appear and transport the plumbers back to [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]], more specifically [[Yoshi's House]]. | ||

It is also the logo used for the PAL version of the SNES, which retained the original Japanese console and controller pad design and colors. In the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version, the player can still see the SNES logo at the top left corner. | ||

A message box appears in one of the stages, stating that the player will receive a special present upon completing the Special Zone; upon doing so and returning to Yoshi's Island, the season will change from Spring to [[Fall]] (changing the color scheme of the environment), and several enemies will be completely transformed. This message still appears in ''[[Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World]]''; since the change will not happen until all 96 exits in the game are found, it instead refers to the numbers displayed by the Special levels, each showing the player's highest score in that level. | |||
