The '''Special Zone''', also referred to as the '''Special World''',<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=August 1991|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=36, 151, 156, 158-167|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</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 1980s 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 (location)|Yoshi's Island]], more specifically [[Yoshi's House]].

The symbol at the top of the Special Zone is the Super Famicom logo. It is also the logo used for the PAL version of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], which retained the original Japanese console and controller pad design and colors. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', the logo is visible in the top left corner of the screen, but only after all levels in the Special Zone have been completed.

When playing ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', completing the Special Zone will not transform the overworld, since that will only happen if the player finds all 96 exits.
