==Gameplay and premise==

{{main|Super Mario World}}

The same power-ups from the original release are retained, including the basic power-ups of the [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], and [[Super Star|Starman]]; and the [[Cape Feather]], introduced in the original game. The Super Mushroom increases Mario or Luigi's size; the Fire Flower gives him a fireball attack; the Starman makes him invincible; and the Cape Feather allows him to fly and to attack enemies by spinning. Also returning is [[Yoshi]], the Mario brothers' sidekick and riding mount from the original ''Super Mario World'', who is able to eat most enemies and gain special abilities from holding colored [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] shells in his mouth. The game also contains blue, yellow, and red Yoshis, which become available to Mario and Luigi from any level in the game after he has found their eggs in [[Star World]] and fed them enough enemies or objects to grow them to maturity. When holding any Koopa shell in his mouth, these Yoshis gain the ability that corresponds to its own color, in addition to that of the shell.

===Gameplay===

[[File:MarioWorld2JumpDifferecnce.png|thumb|left|Mario's and Luigi's height differences in their respective jumps]]

**Luigi jumps higher, but more slowly than Mario, and [[scuttle]]s in midair as he jumps, similar to how he did in the first ''Super Mario Advance''.  When Luigi flies using the Cape, he flies slightly higher than Mario, but not as fast.

**Luigi suffers from worse traction and lower running speed than his brother.

**Fire Luigi's fireballs bounce higher than [[Fire Mario]]'s.  

**If Luigi hits a [[Coin Block]], all of the [[coin]]s inside it will spill out of the block at once instead of collecting them one by one.

*A status menu is added, accessible by pressing {{button|GBA|Select}} on the world maps, which allows players to check their total play time, score, how many levels they have played (and which brother they used in which levels), and whether or not they have collected all the Dragon Coins in a given level.

**Once all the levels have been cleared, the player can press {{button|GBA|A}} to automatically access the levels that they select.  

*The save system is updated to allow players to save at any time, whether on the playfield or in the world maps, as opposed to the original game, which only allowed saving after completing a Ghost House, fortress, or castle.

**The player's life count and power-ups are also saved.

**If the player earns at least 10 consecutive lives, a flower and text stating how many lives the player earned scrolls across the screen.  

*The time limit for Bowser's Castle has been increased from 400 seconds to 800 and 600 for the front and back doors, respectively.

*Yoshi will lay an egg containing an item after eating ten red berries. The SNES version always produced a Super Mushroom, while in the GBA version, the item depends on the Yoshi's color:

**Green Yoshi - Super Mushroom

*Defeating climbing Koopas consecutively counts towards a point chain in the GBA version, as does defeating enemies while sliding down slopes.

*As the GBA lacks the {{button|SNES|X}} and {{button|SNES|Y}} buttons, it is not possible to shoot fireballs while holding Shells or Grab Blocks.

*In the [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]]:

**In the SNES version, Mario/Luigi performs a V sign regardless of the outcome.  In the GBA version, Mario/Luigi looks down with sadness if he doesn't win.

**When Mario/Luigi wins in a bonus game, the matching icons flashed in the SNES version, whereas the GBA version also shows lines connecting the matching icons.

*In the SNES version, only the normal green Yoshi hatched from eggs found in question blocks.  In the GBA version, a different color Yoshi can be found in the question blocks based on which color Yoshi has been found in Star World and fed enough enemies or objects to grow to maturity, as well as the power-up Mario or Luigi currently has.  The possible outcomes are as follows (forms written in italics will always spawn that particular Yoshi, assuming it has already been found and fed in Star World, whereas forms not written in italics will randomly spawn a Yoshi among those which have already been unlocked):

**Green Yoshi for Small Mario, [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], Fire Mario (if Red Yoshi has not been found and fed yet), and [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] (if Blue Yoshi has not been found and fed yet).

**Red Yoshi for Small Mario, Super Mario, ''Fire Mario'', and Caped Mario (if Blue Yoshi has not been found and fed yet).

**Blue Yoshi for Small Mario, Super Mario, Fire Mario (if Red Yoshi has not been found and fed yet) and ''Caped Mario''.

===Other===

====Level design====

Notable changes include:

*Certain levels, such as the [[Cheese Bridge Area]], have a lowered enemy and obstacle count.

*[[Dragon Coin]]s are added to levels that did not originally have them, including [[Ghost House]]s, [[Fortress]]es, and Castles (excluding Bowser's Castle).

*Additional or brand-new [[Message Block]]s have been added to [[Yoshi's Island 1]], [[Donut Ghost House]], [[Donut Secret House]], and [[Butter Bridge 1]].

*[[Yoshi's House]] has ten berries instead of seven.

====Art====

Some colors, text, and animations are altered as follows:

*Peach's sprites were redesigned to more accurately resemble her official appearance (incorporating her established lighter dress color, hair thickness, and blue earring coloration).

*The [[Bullet Bill|Pidgit Bill]] is redesigned to look like the original [[Pidgit]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

*The [[Koopalings]] and Bowser gain an additional finger on their hands.

*After the 96 exits are completed, most Message Blocks congratulate the player on finding the secret world and completing all the exits.

*The Top Secret Area is represented by a unique smiling hill icon on the world map.

*After Bowser is defeated, the castle and fortress icons on the world map have their lower portions rebuilt, while still retaining the white flag in place of the upper portion.

*The intro scene where it is stated that the player is in Dinosaur Land and Bowser has kidnapped the princess originally had Mario standing, and if the player presses a button before the text box appears, Mario would start into a moving pose before being frozen in place once the text is on screen.  In the GBA version, the player cannot control the characters before the scene cuts to the world map.  Luigi is added to the intro scene, pacing back and fourth as Mario looks up at the text box.

*Two other cinematics are added in the GBA version:

**After all 96 exits are cleared, a cutscene is shown where Luigi is tossing Mario Masks from the hot air balloon, followed by a message congratulating the player on finding all exits and telling the player to try a slightly different Dinosaur Land.  Mario is then shown stomping a Koopa and taking away its shell, leaving the Koopa with the mask that lands in front of it.

Following clearing a castle stage, the text is changed as follows:

*It now says both Mario and Luigi defeated the Koopaling, rather than just Mario or Luigi.

*The grammar and general flow of the text has been improved:  

**[[Chocolate Island]] is called "deliciously dangerous" instead of "dangerous (but tasty)".

*Luigi is added in the credits sequence and the return to Yoshi's house.

**In the former, either Mario or Luigi (depending on whoever was not used to defeat Bowser) is placed at the end of the line behind the eggs of the trapped Yoshis.

*The [[Magikoopa]] is added to the "cast list" of enemies after the credits, appearing next to the [[Grinder]].  

*While the enemies have their new appearances in the fall variation of the "cast list", their names remain unchanged in the GBA version.

**The text is restyled to be red with a navy-blue outline.

**The background, though initially white, changes to a grass hill when a camera snapshot is heard.

**When this screen is displayed, the player is no longer required to reset the system; they can return to the Yoshi's Island world map upon pressing {{button|GBA|Start}}, where they are given the option to save.

The soundtrack has been changed as follows:

*The quality of the entire soundtrack is downgraded for the GBA's inferior sound chip.

*The [[Boo]]s were given laughter effects.

*The Koopalings will shriek upon being dumped into lava pools.

*The pitch of the death jingle is increased by five {{wp|semitone|half step}}s.

*While Mario/Luigi is in [[Balloon Mario|balloon form]], the tempo of the music is decreased, and a warning sound is added for when the balloon effect is about to expire.

==Reception==

|Release

|align="left"|"''Super Mario World is one of the greatest games ever made. The Game Boy Advance version adds a handful of amenities to cater a little bit more to the portable crowd, but these changes serve only to enhance an already extraordinary game. New multiplayer options would have been nice, but in the end, this is a game that no Game Boy Advance library should be without.''"
