'''''Super Mario World''''' (originally known in Japan as '''''Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4''''') was the fourth official main series ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]''  game and a launch title released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] on November 21, [[List of games by date#1990|1990]]. The game was produced by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], featuring music composed by [[Koji Kondo]], and graphics designed by [[Shigefumi Hino]]. An updated version was later released on the [[Game Boy Advance]] as part of the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series, titled ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. The original version was also re-released on the [[Wii]] and later [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]]. This is the Mario game in which [[Yoshi]], [[Wiggler]]s, [[Monty Mole]]s, [[Swooper]]s, and [[Magikoopa]]s made their first appearances, and a save feature has been added.

The game was followed in 1995 by a prequel, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'',  which is set many years before the events in ''Super Mario World''. ''Yoshi's Island'' spawned its own series of [[Yoshi (series)|sequels]].

[[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated that ever since they finished ''Super Mario Bros.'', the design staff wanted to have Mario ride a dinosaur. It was believed to be impossible technically until the Super NES was developed. According to Miyamoto, sixteen people were involved in the creation of the game, and it took about three years to make.<ref>Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide, p. 32.</ref> At some point during the game's development, it was meant to be released in North America and Europe as ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4'' or ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros.'', but it was later shortened to ''Super Mario World''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0MbGdkbeEU This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the "Super Mario Bros." subtitle.], retrieved 8/11/2011</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTzyz2TgGls This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the "Super Mario Bros. 4" subtitle.], retrieved 8/11/2011</ref> Miyamoto has stated that this is his favorite ''Mario'' game.

In addition to the game itself, there is [[Super Mario World (television series)|a cartoon series]] that is based on the game which debuted on September 14, 1991, one month after the American release. The series takes place in [[Dome City]], and was produced by [[DiC Entertainment]] and Nintendo.

==Story==
[[File:HotAirBalloon‎2.png|thumb|[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] in a [[Hot Air Balloon|hot air balloon]] in the Game Boy Advance remake ''[[Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World]]''.]]
After [[Bowser]]'s [[Super Mario Bros. 3|previous defeat]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] decide to recuperate in [[Dinosaur Land]]. Meanwhile in Dinosaur Land, the Koopa King and his [[Koopalings]] trap [[Yoshi]] and his [[Yoshi (species)|friends]] in enchanted [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s, eliminating the opposition as they secretly rebuild their forces. Shortly upon their arrival, the Mario Bros. realize that Princess Toadstool is missing. While searching, they find the [[Koopa Troop]] army. Upon freeing the friendly Yoshi, he exclaims that the Koopas have invaded, confirming that Peach's persistent captor has indeed returned and taken the opportunity to claim the princess.

As Mario and friends travel through Dinosaur Land, they uncover the [[Valley of Bowser]]. After defeating [[Larry Koopa|Larry]], the Mario Bros. have access to the [[Front Door|front door]] of [[Bowser's Castle]]. Bowser is fought on his castle roof in his [[Koopa Clown Car]], holding Princess Toadstool hostage. Upon his defeat, he gently drops the princess and retreats. Princess Toadstool rewards Mario or Luigi with a kiss as fireworks celebrate freedom, signifying that their vacation can resume with their new good friends. The reunited team returns to [[Yoshi's House]] where they and three other Yoshis watch the Yoshi eggs hatch into [[Baby Yoshi|babies]], removing the spell.

;From the instruction booklet

<blockquote>After saving the Mushroom Kingdom from [[Bowser]] and the rest of the [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]] in Super Mario 3, Mario and Luigi needed to recuperate from their adventures. Together they agreed that the best place to vacation was a magical place called Dinosaur Land.<br>
But while Mario and Luigi reclined on the beach for a relaxing nap, Princess Toadstool disappeared, apparently seized by evil forces. After searching for hours for their missing friend, Mario and Luigi came upon an enormous egg in the forest.<br>
Suddenly the egg hatched, and out popped a young dinosaur named Yoshi, who proceeded to tell Mario and Luigi a sad tale of how his dinosaur pals were sealed in similar eggs by a group of monstrous turtles.<br>
"Monstrous turtles!," exclaimed Luigi. "Bowser and his bunch have returned!" Mario slowly nodded his head in agreement and, along with Luigi and Yoshi, set off across Dinosaur Land to find the Princess and to free Yoshi's friends. As they began their journey, Yoshi handed Mario a beautiful cape. "This may help you," Yoshi said. "Some say it has magical powers."<br>
With a little luck (and help from a magic cape), our hearty crew can defeat the seven worlds of Bowser's Krazy Koopa Kritters. Many locations are well-hidden so explore everywhere and try everything. Not all locations have to be explored to rescue the dinosaurs and save Princess Toadstool, but there are many "starry" treasures to be found in far-reaching places. You'll need to search all areas to find what kinds of treasures are there… in Super Mario World.</blockquote>

==Gameplay==
The object of the game is to get to the goal tape to advance to the next level. While on Mario's way to the goal, he must encounter many enemies and collect power-ups and use items to help solve puzzles and destroy enemies.

|}

===Secret bonus changes===
After the player beats every special level, the following changes occur:
*'''World map''': The colors of the map become [[autumn]]-themed, like grass and the trees of Forest of Illusion turning orange.
*'''Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas''': Transform into [[Mask Koopa]]s and [[Para Mask Koopa]]s, respectively.
*'''Piranha Plants and Jumping Piranha Plants''': Change into [[Pumpkin Plant]]s and [[Jumping Pumpkin Plant]]s, respectively.
*'''[[Beanstalk]]s''': Heads will turn into pumpkins.
*'''Bullet Bills''': Replaced with [[Pidgit Bill]]s.

==Worlds==
*[[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] ([[Iggy Koopa]])
*[[Donut Plains]] ([[Morton Koopa Jr.]])
*[[Vanilla Dome]] ([[Lemmy Koopa]])
*[[Twin Bridges]] ([[Ludwig von Koopa]])
*[[Forest of Illusion]] ([[Roy Koopa]])
*[[Chocolate Island]] ([[Wendy O. Koopa]])
*[[Valley of Bowser]] ([[Larry Koopa]] and [[Bowser]])

===Bonus worlds===
*[[Star World]]
*[[Special World]]

If Mario and/or Luigi accumulate 100 stars by touching the flag at the finish, they play a bonus game where they hit blocks. Eight random blocks travel around a block that already has a determined power-up. Power-ups include Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Stars. Mario/Luigi can only hit blocks while they are at the bottom, and hit blocks continue to travel around the center (while retaining the hit power-up). Once the last block is hit, the blocks stop traveling and 1-ups are awarded. The number of 3-in-a-row matches determines the number of 1-Ups the player will receive (up to a maximum of 8).

==Characters==
=== Playable Characters ===
[[Mario]] (and in 2-Player mode, [[Luigi]]) are the main playable characters. If Mario loses a life or completes a level in 2-Player mode, Luigi comes into play until he does the same. The two may also share [[Extra Life|Extra Lives]] on the world map. Unlike in some other ''Mario'' games, both of the heroes possess the same strengths and weaknesses.

=== Supporting Characters ===
*[[Dolphin]]
*[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]
*[[Yoshi]]
===Colored Yoshis===
In addition to Mario and Luigi, Yoshis of four different colors appear in the game, which may be controlled once acquired and help the Mario Bros. in many levels of the game:

*[[Green Yoshi]], the default Yoshi. Like the other Yoshis, it is able to eat many kinds of enemies and jump on spiked enemies without taking harm as well as walk across [[Muncher]]s. They can also utilize Shells for special powers, but unlike the other Yoshis, the color of the [[Shell]] but not a specific Yoshi power to pair with it.
:
*[[Red Yoshi]], a Yoshi that spits out any colored Shell in the form of three fireballs.
*[[Blue Yoshi]], a Yoshi that flies as long as a Shell is in its mouth.
*[[Yellow Yoshi]], a Yoshi that can shake the ground by taking a Shell into its mouth, defeating enemies with its impact.

File:Blue_Yoshi_SMW.PNG|<center>[[Fire Mario]] and a [[Blue Yoshi]]</center>
File:Yellow_Yoshi_SMW.PNG|<center>Cape Mario and a [[Yellow Yoshi]]</center>
</gallery>

Green Yoshis hatch out of [[Yoshi Egg]]s, usually found in various blocks throughout the game.  If a Yoshi Egg is found but the player already has a Yoshi, the Egg will instead provide an [[1-Up Mushroom]].  Red, blue and yellow [[Yoshi]]s are extremely rare in ''Super Mario World''. They live only in the [[Star World]], a mysterious place accessible by using the five [[Star Road]]s found throughout the game. When they are first encountered, they are Baby Yoshis, small and unrideable, but through carrying them, the baby Yoshi's will eat the enemies they touch.  When 5 enemies are eaten, they will transform into adult Yoshi's, and can now be used normally. Baby Yoshis of all colors hatch from the Yoshi Eggs rescued from the castles, during the ending credits of the game.

In the GBA remake, the color of the Yoshi that will hatch depends from the power up the player has:

*Green for Small Mario or when the colored Yoshi corresponding to the current powerup isn't rescued yet.
*Yellow for Super Mario.
*Red for Fire Mario.
*Blue for Cape Mario.

==Regional differences==
A number of changes were made to ''Super Mario World'' when it was released internationally following its initial Japanese version. This included translating the Japanese names and words and tweaking various levels to make the game easier for international audiences.<ref name="TCRF">[http://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_World_%28SNES%29/Version_Differences The Cutting Room Floor], ''Super Mario World'' article. (Retrieved July 8, 2013)</ref>

[[File:SMWEdibleDolphin.png|thumb|Yoshi can eat the dolphins in the Japanese version.]]
====Gameplay changes====
*Yoshis can eat the [[Dolphin]]s as if they were regular enemies in the Japanese version of ''Super Mario World'', but not in the international versions of the game. However, this change was later reversed in the remake, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', allowing Yoshis to eat the dolphins in the non-Japanese versions of the game.

====Level design changes====
*[[Donut Plains 2]] has an added [[Exclamation Mark Block|! block]] after the three [[? Block]]s near the beginning of the level. Similarly, [[Vanilla Dome 1]] has an extra [[Cape Feather]] hidden in the structure of [[Rotating Block]]s found early in the level.
*The secret exit to [[Chocolate Island 3]] was made more conspicuous through the use of two additional arrow signs, rather than the lone sign found in the Japanese version.
*In [[Donut Secret House]], the walls at the end of the two main rooms were extended a bit to fill the whole screen.
*In the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], the three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s at the bottom of the Ghost Ship are not present in the Japanese version.
*[[Lemmy's Castle]] has a time limit of 400 seconds instead of 300 seconds. [[Funky (Super Mario World)|Funky]] also provided the players more time in the international versions of the game via the presence of nine green [[Berry|berries]] instead of the original three in the Japanese version; as having Yoshi eat green berries adds 20 seconds to the timer, this meant the international players could accumulate triple the extra time than in the Japanese version of the game.
*The original [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]] "YOU ARE SUPER PLAYER!!" message at the end of Funky was corrected to "YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!!". As the message was spelled in coins, this also meant more points could be collected in this final level in the international version.

====Graphical changes====
*Both the file select and mode select title screens change between the different versions. In the file select screen, the Japanese text was changed to English for international releases, and in both cases, 1991 was added to the original's 1990 copyright date to reflect when the North American and European versions were released. The logo was also changed to make the shadowing of the letters less pronounced and the "TM" was rewritten in the same lettering style as the title itself. As shown in the comparison of the file select screens below, the European version differed from both the Japanese and North American releases in height.

*All instances of Japanese names occurring in-game were changed to English.
**The sign at [[Yoshi's House]] was changed from katakana (Japanese script) to the English alphabet.
**The enemy names were all translated as well, although rather than Japanese script, they were written in [[wikipedia:Romanization of Japanese|romaji]] (English letters) in the Japanese version itself. This includes the credits, the writing on [[Reznor]]'s wheel, and the sign on Bowser's castle.

====Textual changes====
*In addition to being translated, various other changes were made to the level names.<ref name="TCRF"/>
**While block numbers were used in the original Japanese names, the numbers in the international version match the font style used in the lettering.
**In the Japanese version, all level names were followed by 「コースｘ」, "Course X", but in the international version, the names were simply numbered (i.e. 「ヨースターとう　コース１」, "''Yōsutā tō Cōsu 1''", changes to "[[Yoshi's Island 1]]", instead of "Yoshi's Island Course 1").
**[[Cheese Bridge Area]], [[Cookie Mountain]], [[Forest Secret Area]], and [[Chocolate Island Secret]]'s Japanese names were all followed by 「コース１」, "Course 1", but as there were no additional levels sharing these names, the numerical designation was dropped for the international versions.
***However, the [[Special World]] levels weren't numbered. [[Gnarly]] and [[Tubular]] were both 「おたのしみ　コース」 (Fun Course), [[Way Cool]] and [[Awesome]] were both 「マリオスタッフもビックリ　コース」 (Even the Mario Staff is Shocked Course), [[Groovy]] and [[Mondo]] were both 「スペシャリストのための　コース」 (Specialists' Course), and [[Outrageous]] and [[Funky]] were 「チャンピオンシップの コース」 (Championship Course).<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-worlds-radical-special-courses-in-japanese] "SUPER MARIO WORLD’S RADICAL SPECIAL COURSES… IN JAPANESE!" Article.</ref>
*While various enemies change after the game is changed to the fall setting, in the credits, the new enemies are shown but labeled as the old enemies in the Japanese version; this was then noticed and corrected for the international release.
*Like the enemy names, the staff credits were also written in romaji in the Japanese version, but various small changes were still made:<ref name="TCRF"/>
**The somewhat odd title of "Total Director" was changed to "Main Director", "Back Ground" was corrected to "Background", and all instances of "Programer" were changed to the "Programmer" spelling for the international release. "C.G. Designer" was elaborated upon as "Character Graphic Designer" outside of Japan, and various other titles were tweaked, with "Course Director" becoming "Area Director", "Course Editor" changing to "Area Data Input", and "Player and System Programer" becoming "Mario and System Programmer".
**The spacing of certain words was also tweaked, and a colon was added to "Special Thanks" in the international version.
**Dayv Brooks was added to the "Special Thanks" list for his translation work on ''Super Mario World''.<ref>As explained by [[Special:Contributions/Dayvvbrooks|Dayvv Brooks]], formerly credited as "Dayv Brooks", on July 18, 2012.</ref>

==Remakes and ports==
===''Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World''===
{{main|Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World}}
The ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remake of ''Super Mario World'' gave [[Luigi]] a more distinctive sprite where he is taller, thinner and animates differently, whilst in the original he is almost identical to Mario with a palette swap.

===''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''===
{{main|Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2}}
''Super Mario World'' was ported to the [[Game Boy Advance]] handheld system as the second installation in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. Some of the more notable changes are new Luigi's sprite, the new amount of 999 lives that can now be saved, and the list of levels showing whether the secret exit and the [[Yoshi Coin]]s have been found.

==References to other games==
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' - A few enemies from this game ([[Ninji]]s, [[Pidgit]]s) appear, bringing them into the proper Mario Universe, as they were from a dream world in this game. Also, since ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was just a remake of ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', this introduced them as proper ''Mario'' enemies as well.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' - The [[Sunken Ghost Ship]] was once an [[airship]] from this game. Also all of the Koopalings return here.

==References in later games==
*''[[Mario Roulette]]'' - Many sounds and graphics from here appear in this game.
*''[[Mario Paint]]'' - Many sounds and graphics from here appear in this game.
*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' - Lakitu is near identical in appearance in this game and many tracks in this game are based on levels here.
*''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'' - Many sounds and graphics from here appear in this game.
*''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' - Many sounds and graphics from here appear in this game.
*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' - This game is a prequel to ''Super Mario World'', though the stories are practically unrelated in sharing some settings and uses Yoshi as the main character, although there are nine Yoshis (or ten in the Game Boy Advance remake) for each stage for each zone.
*''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' - The Star Road found here is destroyed by Exor and it is revealed that [[Geno]] is from here. Yoshi's Island also returns as Yo'ster Isle, and a rendition of the overworld music from this game plays upon first meeting Gaz. Also, the overworld theme music can be heard while singing a [[List of characters|character]] to sleep.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]'' - The idea of Switch Palaces is, in a way, carried over into this game.

==Beta elements==
{{main|List of Super Mario World beta elements}}

[[Dinosaur Land]] was drastically different than the final version, possessing an appearance similar to the various kingdoms of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Specifically, it was to feature things such as [[Toad House]]s (which could possibly mean that [[Toad (species)|Toads]] were once considered to populate Dinosaur Land) and more ''Super Mario Bros. 3''-style [[Fortress]]es. In addition to this, the game originally had the subtitle "Super Mario Bros. 4"

==Glitches==
{{main|List of glitches in Super Mario World}}

==={{conjecturaltext|Glitchy Graphics from Defeated Enemies}}===
The balls on [[Iggy]]'s and [[Larry]]'s platforms can be destroyed by the sliding attack, as can the Grinders (using a triangle block). This results in glitchy graphics, most likely because the developers did not intend for these enemies to be defeated.
The same thing happens if Mario does a nose diving in the second level of the Bowser battle. The [[Big Steely]] will be defeated as the head of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] colored red.

==={{conjecturaltext|Miscolored Overworld}}===
In order to do this glitch, the player must go to the end of [[Chocolate Island 3]]. Under the goal, the player must jump off Yoshi to the Giant Gate so that the screen does not scroll up. If done correctly, Mario is barely seen when he finishes the level, and because Mario is not present on the bottom of the screen, the screen begins to flicker in many colors as the stage begins to fade out. When he comes back to the overworld map, the entire world is glitchy and colored with red and blue. If Mario visits Forest of Illusion or Valley of Bowser and comes back to the main overworld, the entire world will be ivory colored instead. The glitch ends if the player completes a level or visits Star Road.

==={{conjecturaltext|Hold a [[Koopa Troopa]] shell while on a vine}}===
First, the player must go to an area whith a Koopa Troopa near a vine (like in [[Vanilla Secret 1]]). Then, [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] must hit the block with the vine, grab the Koopa Troopa shell (hold the Y button) and take it on top of the block. After that, Mario/Luigi should kick the shell upwards (hold D-pad Up and stop pressing the Y button), press the Y button again and start climbing the vine. If done correctly, Mario/Luigi will be climbing the vine while the shell is at the same "place" with them. When Mario/Luigi jump of the vine, the glitch will end, but they can do it as many time as they want. This glitch can also be done with anything grabable, such as keys and trampolines.

==Staff==
{{main|List of Super Mario World staff}}

==Trivia==
{{trivia}}
*None of the [[Koopalings]]' sprites are the correct color of their game artwork except [[Larry Koopa]]. All of their in-game colors are the colors of the [[Koopa Troopa]]s of ''Super Mario World'', with the colors going from yellow, to blue, to red, to green, from oldest Koopaling to youngest.
*This is the first game where Koopa Troopas and Paratroopas stand on two legs instead of four and wear shoes.
*If the player loses a life by running out of [[Time Limit|time]], "''Time'' Up!" will be written on the screen instead of "''Time's'' Up!".
*This game marks the first time Fire Luigi has a different colorization than Fire Mario.
