'''''Super Mario's Wacky Worlds''''' was a planned successor to ''[[Super Mario World]]'', developed by [[NovaLogic]] for [[Royal Philips Electronics]]'s unsuccessful [[Philips CD-i|CD-i]] system. The game was never officially released, although three prototype copies are in circulation.

==History==
==History==
''Super Mario's Wacky Worlds'' emerged in a time in which its developing company, NovaLogic, was hoping to be hired by [[Nintendo]].<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"> {{cite|title=Super Mario's Wacky Worlds|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314130649/https://sites.google.com/site/philipscdi/smww|format=|publisher=Sidewalk CD-i Playground|accessdate=June 19, 2008|archive=https://sites.google.com/site/philipscdi/smww|archivedate=March 14, 2016|archiver=Wayback Machine}}</ref> Philips obtained the rights to release CD-i games based on Nintendo IPs as the result of a failed deal with Nintendo to develop the {{wp|Super NES CD-ROM|SNES CD}}, a canceled CD-ROM add-on for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Consequently, a Nintendo sales executive suggested to NovaLogic that simple Nintendo titles could play on the CD-i, sparking the idea of putting "a popular Nintendo game, ''Super Mario World'' onto a CD-i disc", making the project an intended successor to the launch title exclusively for the CD-i hardware.

It was suggested to NovaLogic by a Nintendo sales executive that they port simpler Super Nintendo games to the CD-i, sparking the idea of "putting ''Super Mario World'' onto a CD-i disk": making a quasi-sequel to the SNES launch game for the CD-i.


Developers Silas Warner and John Brooks were drafted as the game's designers and worked 24 hours a day for two weeks on the game, finishing only a part of one level to present to Nintendo. Their meeting with the Nintendo developers came at 8:00 a.m. on a Friday morning, and they had put their short part of the game on a disc four hours beforehand.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/>

Their meeting with the Nintendo developers came at 8:00 AM on a Friday morning, and they had their short part of the game on a disc four hours before this.  


Nintendo was impressed at the two men's job, but the company ultimately decided to cancel the game due to the commercial failure of the CD-i. This ended the CD-i career of Warner, who had expected Nintendo's exact reaction; however, other developers such as lead artist Nina Stanley stayed with the project.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/>
Nintendo was very much impressed at the two men's job, but because of poor CD-i sales was forced to cancel the game. This ended the CD-i career of Warner, who had expected Nintendo's exact reaction, however other developers such as lead artist Nina Stanley stayed with the project.


Though the developers were highly enthusiastic about making a traditional ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game (partly to clear their reputation surrounding Nintendo-licensed characters), NovaLogic hoped to use as little money as possible on the project, which was mostly executed with the intentions of making a small amount of profit while games such as those of the {{wp|Comanche (video game series)|''Comanche'' series}} had focus.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/>

Version 0.11, the game's final prototype (an early alpha), was finished on March 3, 1993 after the project had about a year of work. Approximately 80% of the game's art, 95% percent of its design, and around 30% of its code were finished.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/>

Three prototypes are in circulation, one of which was sold on the online auction website [http://www.ebay.com/ eBay] for $1,000.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/> A certain prototype, perhaps the same one as that sold on eBay, has been leaked to the Internet in ISO form, and can be played both on emulators and as a burned disc on an actual CD-i.<ref name="Quebec_gamers"> {{cite|title=Super Mario's Wacky Worlds|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120827014817/http://www.quebecgamers.com:80/dossiers/mario_wacky_worlds/index.html|publisher=Quebec Gamers|language=French|accessdate=June 19, 2008|archivedate=August 27, 2012|archiver=Wayback Machine}}</ref>

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a game that features [[Mario]] travelling around the world, one of the lyrics from the song "[[Jump Up, Super Star!]]" reads "''From this great wide wacky world''"; although this is likely a coincidence unrelated to ''Super Mario's Wacky Worlds'', the lyric is notable considering the similar premises of both games.
To fill the need of a Mario game for the CD-i, ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' was made.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Mario Wikipedia] (Accessed on 6-19-08)</ref> With this failed sequel to ''Super Mario World'' gone unreleased, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' can almost be considered its successor as the game's true sequel, not that the two games have any real relation.

As it is a pre-alpha, the prototype is rather limited; [[Super Mario]] can only walk both ways and jump, and no powerups exist. He cannot slide or swim, but it would appear that these abilities would have been implemented had development continued.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/> Enemies are also not programmed correctly; they disappear when Mario ends up above them, suggesting incomplete [[stomp]]ing attempts.<ref name="Quebec_gamers"/> Enemies also cannot harm Mario, and are stopped in their tracks if touched, even if it means ending up floating in the air.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7REt3FWKMoY YouTube] (accessed 6-20-08)</ref>

Level progression is not explicit, but can be pieced together by the selectable stages. Most worlds have two or three levels, the first of which end with Warp Pipes (or similar things, such as the {{wp|Trojan Horse}} in Greek 1), whereas the last most often has a stylized "M" object holding tape, presumably a similar aspect to the [[Giant Gate]]s, but ending worlds instead of levels. However, the mysterious "M"s may serve another purpose, as one is found alongside a Warp Pipe in Igloo 1; perhaps they would have signified bonuses.

Both "M" marks and Warp Pipes are non-functional,<ref name="Quebec_gamers"/> so one must restart the CD-i or emulator to escape a level.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/>

Accurately capturing the sprites of ''Super Mario World'' was difficult for the ''Super Mario's Wacky Worlds'' development team, since the CD-i had a different sprite-making style than that of the SNES.<ref name="Quebec_gamers"/> To create their characters, they actually pirated their designs from ''Super Mario World'',<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/> producing Mario, as well as several [[Koopa Troopa]] variations based on the ''Super Mario World'' sprites: Greek Koopa Troopas clad in tunics and laurel wreaths, knight Koopa Troopas with feathered helmets, blue Inuit Koopa Troopas in parkas, and dark vampire Koopa Troopas with capes and fangs. The development team also sprited an enemy of their own creation, a walrus drawn in a similar manner to the Koopa Troopas, with similar poses and a turning animation.

The various backgrounds of the game were all hand-drawn by the development team<ref name="Quebec_gamers"/>; in fact, they were indeed based off of paper drawings.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/> Of related note is that the game's levels are based on real-world [[Earth]] locations.

==Sound==
The prototype contains music taken from ''Super Mario World'' and no sound effects besides the jumping sound.<ref name="Quebec_gamers"/> This seems to be an early placeholder, as the idea for the final game was to take advantage of the disc format and use a flexible audio range rather than port unimproved synthesized sound.<ref name="Sidewalk_CDi"/>

|A climb across a mountain that deviates from a simple slope up and slope down very little (only with holes does it change). After this, Mario must traverse down clumps of snow to reach an "M".

|Though some of its data is finished, the level's graphics are not and it hence appears as only a blue-and-green void. Presumably, it would have been a colorfully-lit metropolis.

|The background in this stage is a more buggy version of the one found in Pipeworks, and it is not known whether Geometropolis or Pipeworks would keep their design, or if it was simply a placeholder. Other than that, this level is completely identical to Pipeworks, with the same enemies and foreground pipe placements.
|A buggy, incomplete stage with many pipes (some of which are small and may be oriented diagonally) and water elements such as water-shooting pipes, showers, and metal Koopa heads. Greek and Eskimo Koopas are found here.

|Like Neon City 1, this level has some solid layouts but no graphics. It would presumably end up having some relation to the {{wp|plaid}} color or pattern in the final game.

|Identical to Geometropolis 1. This would've presumably been changed later on; whether Geometropolis or Pipeworks would keep their design is unknown, but the design seems more fitting for Pipeworks.
