'''''Super Mario World''''' is a 2D action-adventure platform game and a launch title released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1990, developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development|Nintendo EAD]]. It is the sixth entry in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]<ref name=encyclopedia>Kazuya Sakai (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara ({{wp|Shogakukan}}) (ed.). ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]'' Milwaulkie: [[Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse Books]], 2018. ISBN: 978-4-09-106569-8.</ref> and a direct sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In being a sequel, the game retains many of the elements that debuted in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', such as the [[world]] map and [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] boss fights, while introducing a large variety of new gameplay mechanics, such as an expanded and less linear world map and the ability to save the game. Introduced in ''Super Mario World'' is [[Mario]]'s sidekick, [[Yoshi]] (and [[Yoshi (species)|his species that shares his name]]), who serves as a playable mount for the Mario Bros. with his own unique abilities and gameplay style. The overall game was meant to be modeled after an action movie franchise, as can be inferred by the Japanese version of the Koopaling defeat scenes as well as the summary on the back of the Japanese box.

In addition to Mario and Luigi, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s of four different colors appear in the game, and they can be controlled once acquired and help the Mario Bros. in many levels of the game. Green Yoshis hatch out of [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s, usually found in various blocks throughout the game. If an egg is found but the player already has a Yoshi, the egg instead provides a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. If a Yoshi gets hurt, it runs off, requiring the Mario Bros. to chase it down if they want to ride it again. A Yoshi can additionally provide a Yoshi Boost<ref>''[[Mario Mania]]'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 43.</ref> (or Double Jump)<ref>Super NES Nintendo Player's Guide, pages 13 and 15.</ref> to Mario or Luigi if he jumps off the Yoshi. Some levels contain [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|berries]], and Yoshis can eat them and produce eggs from them if enough are eaten. Yoshis can eat most enemies, though they cannot immediately [[swallow]] most shells, requiring them to spit the shells out before they eventually swallow them.

While composer [[Koji Kondo]] had created many different melodies for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', he decided to use the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)|same melody]] in ''Super Mario World'', albeit in an {{wp|arrangement|arranged}} form, assuming that the player would be able to recognize the melody while being exposed to new variations of music throughout the game.<ref name="iwata asks kondo">[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Super-Mario-All-Stars/Vol-1-Super-Mario-History-Soundtrack-CD/5-Music-Commentary-by-Koji-Kondo-2-/5-Music-Commentary-by-Koji-Kondo-2--220040.html Iwata Asks: Music Commentary by Koji Kondo].

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8SNbCDXgaQ The pop song that Nintendo copied]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved July 1, 2021.</ref> This being the first game developed for the SNES, Kondo felt "overjoyed" about being able to take advantage of the increased technological capability, which allowed eight instruments to be used at once. To express the technological novelty of the new console, he used samples of several different instruments (as named below), implementing them all, one after the other, in the game's title song.<ref name="iwata asks kondo"/> As development progressed, Kondo grew concerned over how people would react to his unusual combinations of instruments as he noted the use of the NES's traditional {{wp|square wave}}s and {{wp|triangle wave}}s had "gained acceptance" with consumers. For the game's sound effects, Kondo decided to use a variety of musical instruments to emphasize that the game used traditional technology with a hybrid of new materials.<ref name="iwata asks kondo"/> For example, Mario's jumping sound is a {{wp|reappropriation}} of a pan flute sample. The music took around a year and a half for Kondo to compose.<ref>Kawasaki, Hondai (January 1991). "1990 Developer Interview". ''Nintendo Official Guidebook for Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4'' (Japanese). Tokyo: Shogakkan: 167.</ref>

The soundfont used for the ''Super Mario World'' soundtrack consists of the following instrument samples: the fretless bass, piano, pan flute, brass, and clarinet from the {{wp|Kawai K1}} module; the fantasia synth, arco strings, bass marimba, and slap bass from the {{wp|Roland D-50}} synthesizer; the honky-tonk, steel drum, and oud from the Roland L-CD1 (a sample library built for the {{wp|Roland S-50|S-50}} synthesizer); and the dry kick, impact snare, reverb snare, closed hi-hat, and open low conga from the {{wp|Roland R-8}} drum machine. An orchestra hit sample from unknown equipment by {{wp|E-mu Systems}} is also present, and it was used to construct Yoshi's record-scratching voice effect. The cannon sound used for the thunder effects is of unknown origin, but it is currently part of the Soundstorm Sound Effects Library; it is the first professional film sound effect to be sampled in a Nintendo game. The origin of the heavy guitar used in the final boss theme is currently unknown.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJBlHHDc65fhZmKUGLrDTLCm6rfUU83-kbuD8Y0zU0o/edit?pli=1#gid=717751203</ref>

The game was produced by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], featuring music composed by Koji Kondo and graphics designed by [[Shigefumi Hino]], and it was the first game designed for the SNES. As an experiment, the teammates ported ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to the console, and it felt like the same game to them despite the enhanced graphics, so the teammates wanted to create something new for the console (though ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' itself would later be ported and remade for the SNES as one of the featured games in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''). Miyamoto has stated that ever since they finished ''Super Mario Bros.'', the design staff wanted to have Mario ride a horse. It was believed to be impossible technically until the SNES was developed, and it was changed to a dinosaur due to the team working with a dinosaur land.<ref>Takashi Tezuka, Shigefumi Hino and Hisashi Nogami.

Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> The team first came up with a crocodile, which the team felt did not fit in Mario's world, so the design was altered to eventually evolve into Yoshi. 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 one point during the game's development, it was meant to be released in North America and Europe under the full '''''Super Mario Bros. 4''''' title, but it was later shortened to simply ''Super Mario World''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0MbGdkbeEU This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the typo'd "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 game of the ''Super Mario'' franchise.<ref>[https://www.engadget.com/2010/11/09/super-mario-world-is-miyamotos-favorite-mario-game ''Super Mario World'' is Miyamoto's favorite ''Super Mario'' game], retrieved 6/22/2018</ref><ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/15/this-is-shigeru-miyamotos-favorite-mario-game This is Shigeru Miyamoto's Favorite ''Super Mario'' Game], retrieved 6/22/2018</ref>

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.

''Super Mario World'' received universal critical acclaim, and it is held as among Nintendo's best games with a strong legacy. The game ranks with an average of 94.44% aggregate score in GameRankings before it was merged with Metacritic. Although Metacritic does not have an official aggregate score on the game, due to it being released before Metacritic's inception, the user review is shown to be mostly positive.<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/wii/super-mario-world Metacritic page for ''Super Mario World''.] Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> Much of the game's general praise is directed to the game's visuals, gameplay, level design, secrets, and music, while retrospective reviews often opine that the game is still very playable today and that new players should play it.

Alex Navarro of GameSpot scored the game an 8.5 out of 10 in his review for the [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] version of the game on the [[Wii]], recommended players to play the game if they have not already.<ref>Navarro, Alex.

Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> He has praised the game as a "well-crafted adventure," stating that nothing in the game feels "superfluous," and that while he pointed out that it was rather short for modern game standards, the secrets are easy to overlook on a first playthrough of the game. He has praised the graphics, describing them as "colorful" and "cute" and stands out as one of the best-looking games of the system, saying that the visuals still hold to the modern era; he has praised that the game's music is some of the best the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise has ever seen, calling the tunes "supercatchy." The only bad listed in the review of the game is the distinct lack of [[Goomba's Shoe|Kuribo's Shoe]]. Lucas M. Thomas of IGN also scored the game an 8.5 out of 10 for the Virtual Console version of the game,<ref>Thomas, Lucas M. (February 5, 2007).

Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> noting the game's successful history and how the game still feels good to play today despite the age. However, Thomas felt that ''Super Mario World'' does feel lacking, and he pointed out how Miyamoto felt he could have done more to the game to distinguish it from being a graphically upgraded continuation of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and that during the time, Nintendo's competitor, [[Sega]], took advantage of it and introduced ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.

Jamie O' Neill of Nintendo Life gave the game a 10/10, writing about the game's legacy and history when it was first released and that the game is still playable today; he has written that while many games can be considered "classics," only a few can be considered "masterpieces," which O' Neill has referred to them as.<ref>O' Neill.

Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> He has stated that the game is not the flashiest showcase of the SNES's graphical effects, but he has praised the game's bright and colorful aesthetics. He has praised Koji Kondo's efforts on the soundtrack, where the themes are diverse and they carry on various moods, such as the atmospheric Ghost Houses and the energized credits tune that settles into a "beautiful melancholy" when the characters reach Yoshi's House to conclude their adventure. He has called the game's controls "perfect" and said that the game's meticulous secrets lend it a long-lasting appeal. O' Neill has then mentioned that the game scored number 2 on Nintendo Life's 20 debut SNES games from the [[Nintendo Switch Online]].

Dan Whitehead of ''Eurogamer'' gave the game a 10/10 on his brief overview of various Virtual Console games, stating that the column nearly missed its deadline because he "ended up losing the best part of an afternoon to rediscovering its impeccable design."<ref>Whitehead, Dan.
