Due to the introduction of the {{wp|Regulations on children's television programming in the United States#Children's Television Act|Children's Television Act}} in 1990, some social commentary and edutainment was added into the series. Some episodes of ''Super Mario World'' can be seen as social commentary for controversial issues, such as street gangs ("[[Born to Ride]]"), addiction ("[[Rock TV]]"), bullying in school ("[[A Little Learning]]"), obesity and capitalism ("[[King Scoopa Koopa]]"). Several episodes such as "[[The Wheel Thing]]" and "[[Party Line]]" deal with the introduction and consequences of introducing new concepts and technologies to others without thinking ahead, in this case, the cave-people of Dome City. One of the more noticable changes made to the series in light of the CTA is the change made to Princess Toadstool's personality, where she is now more of a role model and parental figure for Mario, Luigi | Due to the introduction of the {{wp|Regulations on children's television programming in the United States#Children's Television Act|Children's Television Act}} in 1990, some social commentary and edutainment was added into the series.

''Super Mario World'', though based on the video game of the same name, included several creative licenses. The cave people and Dome City are both introduced in the television series.

The cave people and Dome City are both introduced in the television series. Characters retained their color differences from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' King Koopa was only once referred to as "Bowser" and the Koopalings retained their alternate names from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''. Many locations and enemies were referred to by different names, some of which are reminiscent of their Japanese names, likely due to the fact the production studio relied on the Japanese version of ''Super Mario World'' as reference material: | ||

Due to the nature of its production, ''Super Mario World'' is actually one half of a series entitled '''''Captain N and the New Super Mario World''''', which also consists of the third season of ''Captain N: The Game Master''. Although the "New" suffix was used to promote the ''Super Mario World'' game when the show first aired, it is part of the series' proper title, and was never dropped. An episode of this half hour series consists of a ''Super Mario World'' cartoon and either a ''Captain N'' cartoon, or a second ''Super Mario World'' cartoon. Due to legal issues, the third season episodes of ''Captain N'' and the ''Super Mario World'' episodes are inseparable, and have to be released on DVD in the same set. This also explains why the first two seasons of ''Captain N: The Game Master'' were released in a "complete series" set; the third season is part of a separate show. The show can also be seen on {{wp|Starz Encore}}'s Kids and Family channel on weekday afternoons since 2019 as well as on Paramount+, The Roku Channel and NCircle TV in the US. All episodes are currently available on WildBrain's YouTube channels. | Due to the nature of its production, ''Super Mario World'' is actually one half of a series entitled '''''Captain N and the New Super Mario World''''', which also consists of the third season of ''Captain N: The Game Master''.
