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 EAD. It is a direct sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3 and the sixth entry in the Super Mario series. In Japan, it is recognized as the fifth.^[13]^[14] In being a sequel, the game retains many of the elements that debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3, such as the world map and 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 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.

The game was released to best-selling status on the SNES, received large amounts of critical acclaim, and is commonly seen on Nintendo's best games of all time on various critic listings. Many of its introduced characters, game mechanics, and artistic themes influenced later titles in the Super Mario franchise, and the character Yoshi was popular enough to receive a series starring him. The game was followed in 1995 by a prequel, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, set during Mario's infancy. Super Mario World has spawned various non-game media such as a cartoon series based on it, which debuted on September 14, 1991, one month after the American release. Various manga adaptions of the game have sprung up, one notable series being Super Mario-kun, which has its first volumes based on Super Mario World released in 1991 and is still ongoing today.

Super Mario World is included in the Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World compilation title released in December 1994. A remake of Super Mario World was later released on the Game Boy Advance as part of the Super Mario Advance series, titled Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. The original version was also rereleased on the Wii's Virtual Console in 2006, the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2013, and the New Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in 2016. Super Mario World is one of the included titles in the SNES Classic Edition and Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online, the latter of which also includes a version titled Super Mario World: Give the world a whole new look!, which was initially released on March 30, 2022, and begins in Fall with 99 lives and a Cape Feather in the Item Stock.

Story[edit]

From the instruction booklet:

After saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser and the rest of the 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.
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.
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.
"Monstrous turtles!,^[sic]" 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."
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.

Super Mario World is the only sequel in the Super Mario series to take place directly after the events of a previous entry. After Bowser's previous defeat, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool decide to recuperate in Dinosaur Land. Meanwhile, in Dinosaur Land, Bowser and his Koopalings trap Yoshi and his friends in enchanted eggs, eliminating the opposition as they secretly rebuild their forces. Shortly upon their arrival, the Mario Bros. realize that Toadstool is missing. While searching, they find the Koopa Troop. Upon the Mario Bros. freeing the friendly Yoshi, he exclaims that the Koopas have invaded, confirming that Bowser has indeed returned and taken the opportunity to claim the princess.

As Mario and his friends travel through Dinosaur Land, they uncover the Valley of Bowser, where Bowser is fought on his castle roof in his Koopa Clown Car, holding Toadstool hostage. Upon his defeat, he gently drops the princess and retreats. 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 the team and three other Yoshis watch the eggs hatch into babies, removing the spell.

Gameplay[edit]

As the game is a 2D platformer, the object of every level is to get to the Giant Gate at the end to advance to the next level before the timer runs out. Mario (or Luigi) can jump over and on top of various platforms and obstacles and stomp on various enemies to defeat them. In addition to the basic jump, Mario can spin-jump to destroy certain types of blocks and enemies, whereas or lets Mario dash if held down. When the player presses either of those buttons when Mario is next to some items, he can pick them up and carry them through the level as the buttons are held. Mario can now hold objects underwater; when he does, he can swim quickly when the player uses only without pressing the jump button. When Mario hits the Giant Gate at the end of the level, if he touches the vertically moving tape between the gate, he gets awarded Bonus Stars depending on how high the tape is when he touches it. If he collects 100 Bonus Stars, Mario can play a bonus game that helps him earn extra lives. Some levels contain a Midway Gate, which not only powers Mario up to Super Mario when touched but also serves as a checkpoint for Mario to respawn near if he gets defeated in the level.

Mario can transform with power-up items, mostly found in blocks. The basic Super Mushroom, which turns Mario into Super Mario, causes him to grow bigger and allows him to sustain an extra hit. When Super Mario hits a block, usually a more powerful item spawns in the Super Mushroom's place, such as a Fire Flower or the newly introduced Cape Feather. Introduced in Super Mario World is the Item Stock, where Mario can hold on to one extra item should he find it while in powered-up forms; players can manually drop their reserve item by pressing . If Mario gets damaged and turns into regular Mario, the reserve item automatically deploys. A newly introduced character and power-up in Super Mario World, Yoshi, also appears from certain blocks. Mario can jump on Yoshi to ride him and receive more special abilities, the most prominent one being using his tongue to eat enemies and carry items.

If Mario gets touched by an enemy or a damaging obstacle while he is in his small form, he loses a life. If he gets damaged by an enemy while in a power-up form, he reverts to his normal form. If Mario loses all of his lives, the player receives a Game Over and is prompted to continue from their last save with five more lives. Some obstacles defeat Mario instantly regardless of what power-up he has, such as falling into pits or lava, getting crushed, and not making it to the goal in time. Every time Mario gets defeated, he gets sent back to the world map.

Super Mario World retains the world map system from Super Mario Bros. 3 with more expanded features. Rather than having levels and worlds segmented, most worlds and levels are seamlessly connected to each other, with a heavier focus on multiple paths per level clearance, and thus creating a less linear map, with a few exceptions. Typically, prior to entering new areas, Mario has to defeat a castle boss, usually one of Bowser's seven children, the Koopalings. Once they are defeated, the castles they reside in are destroyed and cannot be replayed, though in international versions of the game, they can be replayed if players hold and on the castles' remains.

Two-player mode returns, where players take turns playing through the game; Player 1 controls Mario, while Player 2 controls Luigi. Players can opt to use the same controller or two controllers to play the mode. If one player fails to clear a course, the other player takes a turn, and if a Midway Gate is touched, the other player starts at the Midway Gate. Players can also hand each other lives on the map screen if they press or .

After the player beats every special level in the Special Zone, a game aesthetic change called Fall occurs, where the world map obtains a different palette and some enemies get their sprites changed. Once Fall is activated, these changes cannot be reversed unless the save file is deleted and a new game is started.

Worlds and levels[edit]

Super Mario World takes place on the archipelago of Dinosaur Land, and players navigate it through a world map comprised of a greater, general view of the whole land and several sub-maps for specific areas. Unlike in Super Mario Bros. 3, whose world maps featured mostly numbered panels largely detached from the landscape, levels in Super Mario World are marked by button-like spots laid on the environment itself, creating an organic appearance between the world and each level. Players first start out on Yoshi's Island at Yoshi's House, where the path immediately branches off into two levels. The order of the world themes is unique to this title: Players first start in two grassy plain-like worlds while eventually venturing into a cave toward a sky area, into a forest, onto a rocky island, and finally into the Valley of Bowser, which takes on a subterranean wasteland. Haunted Ghost Houses are introduced in Super Mario World and populate Dinosaur Land; unlike traditional level layouts, they tend to contain puzzles and traps designed to confuse the player. Cave levels and levels that primarily take place underwater or where water is prevalent are additionally marked as such on the map, with most cave levels outside the Vanilla Dome and the Valley of Bowser featuring rocks around them, while Mario gets submerged in water for the water levels.

Super Mario World contains nine worlds and 73 (74 if the Back Door and Front Door are counted as separate levels, and 76 if the Top Secret Area and Yoshi's House are counted as levels) levels in total. 24 of these levels have secret exits, so depending on how one counts the levels, this makes for a total of 97 to 100 exits, although only 96 are tracked by the game. Almost all worlds contain four regular levels and at least one secret level. Levels marked in yellow contain one exit, while levels marked in red contain an alternative, secret exit. Other points of interest include the Switch Palaces, Warp Pipes, and the star-shaped portals to Star World that are unlocked only when players find the associated secret exit. Switch Palaces activate respectively colored permeable Dotted Line Blocks and turn them into solid Exclamation Mark Blocks that can be stood on or hit from below. Once Switch Palace levels have been completed, they cannot be visited again. Warp Pipes warp players to different areas of the map, usually to different worlds altogether. Finally, Yoshis cannot be taken into castles, fortresses, or Ghost Houses, though Yoshi remains outside for the player if they exit the level. In castles, players have to defeat the Koopalings, while in fortresses, players need to defeat Reznors.

Star World and the Special Zone are bonus worlds that are accessed when players find secret exits throughout Dinosaur Land that lead to the Star Roads. The Star World levels require the player to find a key and keyhole secret exit to progress through it, while the Special Zone is a linear area that is unlocked when players complete all of Star World's secret exits. The Special Zone levels are much more difficult relative to the levels in this game; none of the levels contain Midway Gates, and some can be long while others use level gimmicks.

Characters[edit]

Playable characters[edit]

Sprites of Mario and Luigi

Mario and Luigi are the main playable characters. In two-player mode, Mario is controlled by Player 1 and Luigi is controlled by Player 2. If Mario loses a life or completes a level in two-player mode, Luigi comes into play until he does the same. The two may also share extra lives on the world map. The two have identical mechanics.

Non-playable characters[edit]

Image	Name	Description
	Princess Toadstool	The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, who is kidnapped by Bowser during the vacation. The main objective of the game is to rescue her from Bowser.
	Dolphins	A sea creature that gives Mario a ride in certain water levels. Dolphins move in jumping arcs or can jump up and down. In Japanese versions of the game, they can be eaten by a Yoshi, while they cannot be eaten in international versions. They appear in Vanilla Secret 3 and a small section at the end of Chocolate Island 1.

Yoshis[edit]

In addition to Mario and Luigi, Yoshis 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 eggs, 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^[16] (or Double Jump)^[17] to Mario if he jumps off the Yoshi. Some levels contain 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.

Red, Blue, and Yellow Yoshis are uncommon in Super Mario World. They are first encountered in Star World, which is accessible by using the five Star Roads found throughout the game. Red, Blue, and Yellow Yoshis are found as Mini-Yoshis, small and unable to be ridden. However, through carrying them, the Mini-Yoshis eat the enemies and items they touch. When they eat five enemies, shells, coins, or active Grab Blocks, they transform into adult Yoshis and can be used normally. If a Mini-Yoshi eats a single power-up, it grows up instantly. Mini-Yoshis of all colors hatch from the eggs rescued from the castles during the end credits of the game.

Image	Name	Description
	Yoshi	Yoshi is Mario's sidekick who requests for Mario's assistance. After he is freed from his egg, he can give rides for Mario and eat intrusive enemies. Green Yoshis are able to eat enemies by using their long tongues and jump on spiked foes without taking harm as well as walk across Munchers. They can use a Koopa Shell's power depending on the color of the shell.
	Mini-Yoshis	If Mario passes nearby a lone egg, it hatches into a Mini-Yoshi. The player must feed the Mini-Yoshi five enemies, shells, coins, or active Grab Blocks for it to grow into an adult Yoshi. Feeding the Mini-Yoshi a single power-up causes it to grow up instantly. Every time a Mini-Yoshi eats something other than a power-up, the player receives a coin and 200 points.
	Red Yoshi	Red Yoshis can spit out any Koopa Shell in the form of three fireballs. These fireballs turn a variety of enemies into coins. Red Yoshis are found as Mini-Yoshis in Star World 1 and Star World 4.
	Blue Yoshi	Blue Yoshis can fly regardless of what color the Koopa Shell is in their mouths. Additionally, Yoshi can become a Blue Yoshi if he touches Yoshi's Wings, which appear in some levels and act as shortcuts to the end of the stage. Blue Yoshis are found as Mini-Yoshis in Star World 2.
	Yellow Yoshi	Yellow Yoshis can create small sand clouds when they hit the ground while they carry a Koopa Shell in their mouths, defeating enemies within the range of the cloud. They are found as Mini-Yoshis in Star World 3 and Star World 5.

Enemies and obstacles[edit]

Enemies[edit]

Super Mario World retains some of the enemies from Super Mario Bros. 3, such as the common Koopa Troopas and their varieties, Ghost House-dwelling Boos, Buzzy Beetles in a cave environment, and Cheep Cheeps underwater, while introducing more species that would regularly appear in later entries in the Super Mario series, such as Magikoopas, Fishbones, Swoopers, and Wigglers. Goombas are featured less prominently in this title and function differently than in prior Super Mario titles; they are later localized as Galoombas. Some of the new enemies introduced are variants of other species, such as the cape-wielding and flying Super Koopas, the large Banzai Bills that are encountered before regular Bullet Bills, the spike-donning Spike Tops, and the pipe-inhabiting Lakitus. Included with the introduced enemies are various new obstacles, most of which populate the castle and fortress levels in the game, and several of these obstacles would make later appearances in the Super Mario series, namely Grinders and Skewers.

When Fall is unlocked, some of these enemies have their graphics changed; however, their behaviors are unaltered.

Items and objects[edit]

Items[edit]

These are collectibles, pickups, and health-restoring objects.

Image	Name	Description
	Coins	When Mario collects 100 coins, he gets a 1-Up. When hit from certain Prize Blocks, Control Coins emerge that the player can control the direction of with .
	Gray Coins	Pressing a Gray P Switch turns basic enemies into Gray Coins for a limited time. If enough are collected, they create extra lives.
	Dragon Coins	If Mario collects all five Dragon Coins or more on one stage, he gets a 1-Up. 1000 points are awarded, then double for each one collected.
	Bonus Coins	If Mario collects all ten Bonus Coins thrown by the Yoshi Cloud, it throws a 1-Up Mushroom.
	1-Up Mushrooms	If Mario collects one of these, he gets an extra life. These mushrooms may also come from eggs if Mario is already riding Yoshi as either brother finds them from a block/passes them by.
	3-Up Moons	If Mario collects one of these very rare items, he gets three extra lives.
	Keys	If Mario grabs a key and puts it in a keyhole (which is hidden in a level), a secret level is unlocked.
	Eggs	The eggs knocked out of Prize Blocks hatch into Yoshis. When a ridden Yoshi lays an egg, another item comes out.
	Red Berries	Eating ten Red Berries in one stage causes Yoshi to lay an egg with a Super Mushroom. A berry is also worth the same as a coin.
	Pink Berries	Eating two Pink Berries produces a Yoshi Cloud.
	Green Berries	Eating a Green Berry adds 20 seconds to the time limit.
	Jumping Boards	Jumping on these allows Mario to jump much higher than normal.
	Switch Blocks	When a blue Switch Block is pressed, blocks transform into coins and vice versa. After a short period of time, they revert back to normal.
	Gray P Switches	If a Gray P Switch is pressed, most basic enemies, such as Spinies, transform into Gray Coins. After a short period of time, they revert to normal.
	Grab Blocks	Dark-blue blocks that can be picked up and carried. Once grabbed, they can be kicked away to defeat enemies.
	Magic ball	An item that ends the current stage when touched. It appears only in the Sunken Ghost Ship.

Power-ups[edit]

A chart illustrating Mario's power-ups in this game

There is a total of six power-ups that provide transformations in the game, with one being exclusive to Yoshi. Most power-ups emerge from the blocks populated in levels, and players are able to carry an extra item in their Item Stock if they are already powered up. While the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Super Star return, Super Mario World introduces the Cape Feather, which gently floats down when it appears onscreen as well as being able to be spawned from defeating a Super Koopa with a flashing cape. The new Power Balloon is a rare item used in a few levels and serves as a temporary transformation for Mario and Luigi.

In addition to the power-up items, Mario and Luigi can encounter other level features that help them progress through the level, such as 1-Up Mushrooms granting them extra lives or keys and keyholes granting them access to secret levels.

Forms that share a column look the same for both Mario and Luigi.

Power-up	Form		Description
Power-up			Description
N/A	Small Mario	Small Luigi	Small Mario is default and the weakest form Mario starts with. If he touches an enemy from damaging areas, such as their sides, as well as damaging obstacles, he loses a life.
Super Mushroom	Super Mario	Super Luigi	Super Mushrooms turn Mario into Super Mario. He can sustain a hit from most obstacles and reverts to Small Mario if he gets hit. When Super Mario hits blocks, they spawn with more powerful items, such as Fire Flowers or Cape Feathers. 1,000 points are awarded.
Fire Flower	Fire Mario	Fire Luigi	Fire Flowers turn Mario into Fire Mario, enabling him to launch small fireballs that defeat enemies and give out coins when defeated. 1,000 points are awarded.
Cape Feather	Caped Mario	Caped Luigi	Cape Feathers turn Mario into Caped Mario. He can spin his cape to defeat enemies as well as slow his descent while the jump button is held down. Caped Mario can fly if he is given a running start. 1,000 points are awarded.
Power Balloon	Balloon Mario	Balloon Luigi	Power Balloons turn Mario into Balloon Mario. He can float for a limited time, and extra Power Balloons replenish the time spent in the air. No points are awarded upon him collecting the item.
Super Star	Invincible Mario / Luigi		Super Stars make Mario become Invincible Mario temporarily, allowing Mario to defeat most enemies by running into them. If the player collects more Super Stars in blocks while invincible, the duration of the invincibility is extended. 1,000 points are awarded. Enemies defeated while the player is invincible count towards points eventually becoming 1-Ups or 2-Ups, depending on the enemy.
Yoshi's Wings	Winged Yoshi		Yoshi's Wings grant Yoshi the ability to fly and enter Coin Heaven. They turn any Yoshi blue after completion, making this the only way to get a Blue Yoshi outside Star World.

Objects[edit]

Objects are interactable elements of the environment that cannot be picked up or collected.

Image	Name	Description
Blocks and containers
	Bonus Block	A block that gives out a 1-Up Mushroom if the player has 30 coins. If the player has fewer than 30 coins, the block gives out one coin.

	Lift	Moving platforms. Their designs and trajectories vary. There are various types of Lifts. Some fall once Mario steps on them. Others float on the surface of water or lava.
	Mushroom Platform	A mushroom that serves as a platform.
	Piston Lift	A lift that acts as a balancing scale. Landing on one causes it to sink while another lift rises. Piston Lifts are shaped as mushrooms.
	Pulley Lift	A lift that travels along a track.
	Sand tide	A sandy yellow platform. It usually moves up and down to crush Mario, though some sand tides simply sink upon him landing on one.
	Semisolid Platform	A variety of platforms that can be jumped through.
	Single Swing Lift	A platform attached to a pivot point. The brown version is stationary until stood on, while the gray version perpetually rotates in a certain direction.

Other objects
	Giant Gate	Marks the end of the level. Players who hit the moving tape get awarded Bonus Stars depending on the position it is hit in; players who get 100 Bonus Stars have the opportunity to play a bonus game. If players hit the tape at its highest point, they will get 50 Bonus Stars and three extra lives.
	Midway Gate	A striped gate that serves as the level's checkpoint when touched. When players lose a life, they spawn near the checkpoint rather than at the beginning of the level. If Small Mario touches the Midway Gate, he powers up to Super Mario.
	Spotlight^[21]	Helps Mario see in the dark. It appears only in Bowser's Castle and is triggered by a red ? Block.
	Switch	A big switch is found inside of Switch Palaces. Striking one permanently transforms its corresponding Dotted Line Blocks into solid Exclamation Mark Blocks. A big switch can only be struck once.
	Tide	Constantly rises and lowers, forcing Mario to swim while also pushing him back.

Level features[edit]

Image	Name	Description
	1-Up Chamber	A bonus area accessed through pipes in some levels. This minigame lets players win up to five 1-Up Mushrooms by hitting Prize Blocks in a correct order.
	Bonus game	At the ends of levels that are not castles or fortresses, if players receive 100 Bonus Stars at the Giant Gates, they play a minigame that gives them the opportunity to earn bonus lives.
	Coin Heaven	A bonus, sky-themed area accessed by using pipes, Beanstalks, and Yoshi's Wings, where players are typically awarded many coins. Unlike in other areas of the level, if the player falls, they do not lose a life and resume the main level. The variant that requires Yoshi's Wings auto-scrolls and contains five Dragon Coins; if players drop down, they finish the level.
	Switch Palace	A bonus level that contains a Switch that turns the respectively colored Dotted Line Blocks into solid Exclamation Mark Blocks. Once completed, Switch Palaces cannot be accessed again. There are four Switch Palaces in the game, and all except the Yellow Switch Palace require players to take secret exits to access them.

Soundtrack[edit]

Album art for the Super Mario World compilation album

While composer Koji Kondo had created many different melodies for Super Mario Bros. 3, he decided to use the same melody in Super Mario World, albeit in an arranged form, assuming that the player would be able to recognize the melody while being exposed to new variations of music throughout the game.^[22] The melody was believed to be inspired by "Green, Green," a folk song recorded in the 1960s that was very popular in Japan.^[23] 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.^[22] 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 square waves and triangle waves 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.^[22] For example, Mario's jumping sound is a reappropriation of a pan flute sample. The music took around a year and a half for Kondo to compose.^[24]

A compilation soundtrack for Super Mario World was released in Japan on February 25, 1991, and it contains original jazz arrangements composed by musician Soichi Noriki and performed by the Mario Club Band; the album additionally contains music from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3. The arrangements are recorded on the album's first disc, while the second disc contains the original compositions. The music was also included on Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music, another Japan-only album released in 1992 that contains music from various games released for the SNES. Super Mario Compact Disco, a compilation soundtrack released originally in Japan on August 1, 1993, contains pieces that remix and rearrange music sampling sound effects from the game into a funk and hip-hop-oriented genre with lyrics. Super Mario World music has been featured in several of the Nintendo Sound Selection series, namely Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.2: Loud Music and Nintendo Sound Selection: Endings & Credits, and in several Super Mario anniversary soundtracks, such as Happy! Mario 20th - Super Mario Sound Collection and The 30th Anniversary Super Mario Bros. Music.

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 Kawai K1 module; the fantasia synth, arco strings, bass marimba, and slap bass from the Roland D-50 synthesizer; the honky-tonk, steel drum, and oud from the Roland L-CD1 (a sample library built for the S-50 synthesizer); and the dry kick, impact snare, reverb snare, closed hi-hat, and open low conga from the Roland R-8 drum machine. An orchestra hit sample from unknown equipment by 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.^[25]

Staff[edit]

Main article: List of Super Mario World staff

23 people were listed in the credits of Super Mario World, including notable Nintendo composer Koji Kondo for the sound programming and Shigeru Miyamoto as the producer. Takashi Tezuka was the overall director of the game, listed as the "Total Director" in the original Japanese version of the credits.^[26]

Development[edit]

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.^[27] 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.^[28]

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.^[29]^[30] Miyamoto has stated that this is his favorite game of the Super Mario franchise.^[31]

Pre-release and unused content[edit]

Main article: List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content

An early version of a level, likely Yoshi's Island 1.

Dinosaur Land was drastically different from 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 Houses (which could possibly mean that Toads were once considered to populate Dinosaur Land) and more Super Mario Bros. 3-style fortresses. In addition to this, the game originally had the subtitle "Super Mario Bros. 4" on the title screen.

Glitches[edit]

Main article: List of Super Mario World glitches

Glitchy graphic from destroying Iggy's fireball

The miscolored overworld glitch

Glitched graphics from defeated enemies[edit]

The balls on Iggy's and Larry's platforms can be destroyed by the sliding attack, as can the Grinders (using a Triangular Block). This results in glitchy graphics, most likely because the developers did not intend for these enemies to be defeated. The same happens if Mario does a nosedive in the second level of the Bowser battle. The Big Steely is defeated as a red sprite of Princess Toadstool's head.

Miscolored overworld[edit]

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 this is 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 the Forest of Illusion or the Valley of Bowser and comes back to the main overworld, the entire world is ivory-colored instead. The glitch ends if the player completes a level or visits a Star Road.

Regional differences[edit]

TCRF article: Super Mario World (SNES)/Version 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.^[26]

Gameplay changes[edit]

Yoshi eating a Dolphin in the Japanese version of Super Mario World.

Yoshis can eat the Dolphins in the Japanese version.

Yoshis can eat the Dolphins as if they were regular enemies in the Japanese version of Super Mario World but not in the international versions of the game, likely due to them not being enemies. However, this change was later reversed in the reissue, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, allowing Yoshis to eat the Dolphins in the non-Japanese versions of the game as well.

Level design changes[edit]

Donut Plains 2 has an added Exclamation Mark Block after the three Prize Blocks near the beginning of the level. Similarly, Vanilla Dome 1 has an added Cape Feather in one of the Rotating Blocks in the structure found early in the level in the international version.
The secret exit to Chocolate Island 3 was made more conspicuous through the use of two additional arrow signs, rather than one 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 Mushrooms at the bottom of the Ghost Ship are absent in the Japanese version.
#3 Lemmy's Castle has a time limit of 400 seconds instead of 300 seconds. Funky also provided the players more time in the international versions of the game via the presence of nine green 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.
In the Japanese version, the coins at the end of Funky spell out "YOU ARE SUPER PLAYER!!" while in international versions of the game, more coins were added to correctly say, "YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!!"

Graphical changes[edit]

Both the file-selection and mode-selection title screens change between the different versions. On the file-selection 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 PAL 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. In the Japanese version, the logo uses the same font as Super Mario Bros. 3. As shown in the comparison of the file-selection screens below, the PAL version differed from both the Japanese and North American releases in height. Each version also has its own marker to denote whether all 96 exits were found or not.

The sign at Yoshi's House was originally written in Japanese script.

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. Also, the sign has some shade in the international versions.
- The enemy names were all translated as well, although rather than Japanese script, they were written in romaji (English letters) in the Japanese version itself. This includes the credits, the writing on the Reznor wheel, and the sign on Bowser's Castle.

The signs on the Reznor spinning wheel and on Bowser's Castle were changed from their Japanese names to their English names.

Textual changes[edit]

In addition to being translated, various other changes are made to the level names.^[26]
- While block numbers are 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 are followed by 「コースｘ」, "Course X," but in the international version, the names are 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's, Cookie Mountain's, Forest Secret Area's, and Chocolate Secret's Japanese names are all followed by 「コース１」, "Course 1," but as there are no additional levels sharing these names, the numerical designation is dropped for the international versions.
  - However, the Special Zone levels are not numbered. Gnarly and Tubular are both 「おたのしみ　コース」 (Fun Course), Way Cool and Awesome are 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 are both 「スペシャリストのための　コース」 (Specialists' Course), and Outrageous and Funky are 「チャンピオンシップのコース」 (Championship Course).^[32]
The flavor text after defeating a Koopaling and destroying their castle is a generic text for every Koopaling in the Japanese version. In international versions, each Koopaling is given their own flavor text.
While various enemies change designs after the game is changed to the Fall setting, in the credits, the replacements are given new monikers in the SNES version; in the Super Famicom and Game Boy Advance versions, their names remain the same.
Like the enemy names, the staff credits are also written in romaji in the Japanese version, but various small changes are still made:^[26]
- The title of "Total Director" is changed to "Main Director," "Back Ground" is corrected to "Background," and all instances of "Programer" are changed to the "Programmer" spelling for the international release. "C.G. Designer" is elaborated upon as "Character Graphic Designer" outside Japan, and various other titles are 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 is also tweaked, and a colon is added to "Special Thanks" in the international version.
- Dayv Brooks is added to the "Special Thanks" list for his translation work on Super Mario World.^[33]

Notable mistakes and errors[edit]

Graphical[edit]

Cloud rendering error

Several graphical errors are present in the game. Of note is that the Magikoopas' unique palette has their colors ordered incorrectly, resulting in the area that should be occupied by the lightest shade of blue instead having the darkest. This is fixed in the Game Boy Advance version by giving them the normal blue palette.
The Koopa bosses are all depicted with three fingers on each hand. This is fixed in the GBA version. Most of the Koopalings' sprites are made to resemble their Super Mario Bros. 3 counterparts (likely to be more easy to recognize), even when the result would be off-model from their artwork, such as with Iggy having only one tooth and Wendy having a white bow with red spots.
Morton, Roy, and Ludwig are given green, blue, and yellow palettes, respectively, in gameplay. In the credits, they are given turquoise, gray, and pink palettes, respectively. However, in order to match up with their Super Mario Bros. 3 palettes, they should be given the gray, pink, and turquoise palettes, respectively. The credits also give Ludwig Morton's teeth, which would remain for his appearance in Super Mario Maker 2.
Lemmy is depicted as being yellow and has large fangs and spikeless arm cuffs, likely owing to having the same body as Wendy to conserve graphic space.
Iggy is accidentally given Larry's hair, leaving Iggy's unused except for in the credits. This error remains in the GBA version.
Bowser is depicted as being primarily green. This is fixed in the GBA version to make him primarily orange. In addition, he lacks the spiked cuffs on his arms. This error is kept in the GBA version. Bowser's sprite was redesigned in the Super Mario World theme of Super Mario Maker.
Yoshi's arms are orange, as are those of the rest of his species.
Due to how Chargin' Chucks' graphics are assembled, their graphics have many errors. Most conspicuously, their heads come off for a frame when they are hit. Other errors include their facemasks going behind the rim of their plastrons in certain poses, and the facemasks also being visible in front of the clapping effect. They are also assigned a green palette in-game despite being colored with blue highlights in their artwork and being given a blue palette in the credits. However, when running, their shoulders have a blue palette very briefly.
Despite Dry Bones being skeletal Koopa Troopas, they are depicted as being far larger than their living counterparts. They also have neck and arm bones in their sprites but not their artwork.
The two lower tiles on the back-facing Climbing Koopas appear to be switched, as the lower part of the shell moves in the opposite direction as the upper part of it, and the limbs are not oriented as they are in the front-facing sprites.
Spike Tops are seemingly depicted with six legs in the game, despite seemingly having four in their artwork. This is retained in the Super Mario Maker games.
Despite being given green feet in their artwork, Goombas are assigned the yellow palette in-game, with the yellow only affecting their feet anyway.
Monty Moles have incompatible designs between their jumping and running sprites, with the former having a split lip and the latter having a smooth curve for a mouth. The GBA remake continues this with Mega Mole's unique defeat sprite seen by having Yoshi eat one while playing as Luigi.
Due to how Mechakoopas' tiles are assembled, the sprite of one getting up from being stunned appears to have half of an extra lower jaw under its full jaw and half of an extra foot over its full foot.
Big Boos have lower fangs, white eyes, and a bluish coloration in their sprites, but they appear identical to normal Boos in their artwork. In many future games, the two remain identical in appearance outside of size.
If a Lakitu's Cloud is partially off screen, its face can appear in the wrong place.

Miscellaneous[edit]

In the Japanese version, the message spelled out with coins in Funky reads "YOU ARE SUPER PLAYER!!" in a typical case of Engrish. The Western versions fix the grammar to "YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!!" thus adding more coins to the level.
The English localization refers to the enemy known as Kuribon in Japan as "Goomba," either in an accidental mistranslation or a deliberate attempt to group the two creatures together, possibly to seem more familiar to players. This led to confusion in Western depictions as to whether or not the two creatures were the same thing until Super Mario 3D World retranslated them as "Galoombas," though Mario Party Advance seemingly made an earlier attempt with "Goombob."

Reception[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

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.^[34] 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 version of the game on the Wii, recommended players to play the game if they have not already.^[35] 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 has ever seen, calling the tunes "supercatchy." The only bad listed in the review of the game is the distinct lack of 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,^[36] 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 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.^[37] 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."^[38]

The game was placed 16th in the 100th issue of Nintendo Power's "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997.^[39] The game placed 47th in the 200th issue of GameInformer's "Top 200 Games of All Time."

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Wii	Lucas M. Thomas, IGN	8.5/10	"Super Mario World could be argued to take the crown for greatest 2D Mario platformer, and as such earns almost immediate recommendation for download to your Wii. The recommendation is tentatively withheld, however, pending examination of your history of ownership with the game, its ported Game Boy Advance iteration, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, has become one of the best-selling games of all time on Nintendo's handheld systems since its release five years ago. The portable package is perfectly playable, meaning you should save your Points if you're one of the millions of gamers to own it there, in cartridge form. Otherwise, download away. Especially you, stalwart Sonic supporters; the white flag is waving, the war now at an end. Come experience Mario's adventures, and the debut of his dinosaur friend."
Wii	Alex Navarro, GameSpot	8.5/10	"Of course, odds are that many have experienced this game in one way or another over the years, be it with a copy of the original SNES release, or with 2002's fabulous GBA remake. If you own either of those and still have the required systems to play them, this VC version becomes significantly less necessary. However, if you're too young to have played the original game back in the day (or just spent most of the '90s in the era's equivalent of a disco haze) and never got around to picking up the GBA version, there's no excuse not to give Super Mario World a try now."
Wii	Dan Whitehead, Eurogamer	10/10	"SMW pretty much invented the platform game as we know it today. It may have been one small step for Nintendo, but it was an evolutionary leap for gaming."
Wii U	Jamie O'Neill, Nintendo Life	10/10	"While many retro games can claim to be a classic, not many are a solid gold masterpiece. Super Mario World is a masterclass in side-scrolling platforming design, to the point that modern 2D game developers should be encouraged to study it as a pre-requisite of mastering their craft. The artistry on display here is not just the way Koji Kondo's tunes fit perfectly with Dinosaur Land's locations in its creative world map – with courses that were presented with subtle 16-bit graphical flair for the November 1990 launch of the Super Famicom – but its success as an outstanding video game is predominantly due to stellar course design and its tantalising 96 level exits. It's the hidden gameplay surprises that keep you playing and returning for more, so it's the secrets that are ultimately Super Mario World's 'special' sauce."

Remakes and ports[edit]

Box for Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, the Game Boy Advance reissue for Super Mario World

Nintendo Super System[edit]

The game was ported to the Nintendo Super System, an arcade machine, in 1991. It is the only Super Mario title released on this system. There are a few differences such as a message on the title screen letting the player know what version it is. Players can choose one of seven zones to start in. There is no way to save progress, and a timer counts down on the bottom right corner when play begins, reappearing when time is almost up. Afterwards, a screen appears, asking if the player wants to continue by inserting coins.

Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World[edit]

The Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World version gives Luigi a more distinctive sprite where he is taller and thinner and animates differently, while in the original, he is simply a palette swap of Mario, and his moves are identical to Mario's.

Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

Super Mario World was remade for the Game Boy Advance as the second installment in the Super Mario Advance series, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Some of the more notable changes include new sprites for Luigi, the maximum number of lives being 999 that can now be saved, and a list of levels showing whether the secret exit and the Dragon Coins have been found.

Virtual Console[edit]

The game has featured in the Virtual Console selections on Wii, Wii U, and New Nintendo 3DS. The Wii release requires 34 blocks (4.3 MB) to install, while the Wii U release requires 23 MB.

Super NES Classic Edition[edit]

Super Mario World is one of the 21 titles included on the Super NES Classic Edition.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online[edit]

The Japanese manga series 4koma Manga Ōkoku has a series called Super Mario, in which its seven entries have stories and gags based off Super Mario World.

Super Mario 4koma Manga Theater[edit]

The Super Mario 4koma Manga Theater is another Japanese 4koma series that features many 4-panel visual gags based off Super Mario World. For example, one comic has Mario running out of time just as he was about to face Iggy Koopa, as Iggy Koopa dives into Mario: the momentum causes Iggy Koopa to fall into the lava and get defeated as well.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

The first volume of Super Mario-kun

Super Mario-kun's first six volumes are all based on Super Mario World, kick-starting the series and being the game with the most arcs associated with it. While the first four arcs follow the games closely, with each arc having the characters travel through the game's locations, the fifth and sixth arcs have their own storylines that feature content from other Super Mario titles released at the time such as Yoshi and Super Mario Kart.

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

Seven entries based on Super Mario World were released for the Super Mario manga series by Kazuki Motoyama.

Super Mario World television series[edit]

Title card for the Super Mario World television series.

Super Mario World has an animated television series produced by DIC, being the last of the Super Mario cartoons DIC has produced. It has aired from September 14, 1991 to December 7, 1991, featuring 13 episodes, the least amount of the Super Mario cartoons. While it has faithful elements to the original series, the cartoon has a focus on common prehistoric stereotypes and themes such as the Mario characters living with cavepeople and relying on anachronistic themes to introduce to the cavepeople such as cars, television, and telephones.

Arcade games[edit]

The game's success led to six games being released for Japanese and North American arcades.

Mario Roulette: A Japanese gambling game made in 1991 by Konami.

As such, it is the sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. 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 the [[Wii U]] and [[New Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]]. This is the first ''Mario'' game in which [[Yoshi]], [[Wiggler]]s, [[Monty Mole]]s, [[Banzai Bill]]s, [[Swoop]]ers, and [[Magikoopa]]s appear, as well as a save feature. The game also features 2D graphics with linear transformations.
+'''''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 a direct sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and the sixth entry in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. In Japan, it is recognized as the fifth.<ref name=encyclopedia>{{cite|author=Sakai, Kazuya (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara (Shogakukan), editors|title=『[[Super Mario Bros.

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.
-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]].
+The game was released to best-selling status on the SNES, received large amounts of critical acclaim, and is commonly seen on [[Nintendo]]'s best games of all time on various critic listings. Many of its introduced characters, game mechanics, and artistic themes influenced later titles in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], and the character Yoshi was popular enough to receive [[Yoshi (franchise)|a series starring him]]. The game was followed in 1995 by a prequel, ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', set during Mario's infancy. ''Super Mario World'' has spawned various non-game media such as [[Super Mario World (television series)|a cartoon series]] based on it, which debuted on September 14, 1991, one month after the American release. Various manga adaptions of the game have sprung up, one notable series being ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', which has its first volumes based on ''Super Mario World'' released in 1991 and is still ongoing today.
-[[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 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 ''Mario'' game.
+''Super Mario World'' is included in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'' compilation title released in December 1994. A  [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] of ''Super Mario World'' 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 rereleased on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] in 2006, the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in 2013, and the [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in 2016. ''Super Mario World'' is one of the included titles in the [[Classics#Super NES Classic Edition|SNES Classic Edition]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], the latter of which also includes a version titled ''Super Mario World: Give the world a whole new look!'', which was initially released on March 30, 2022, and begins in [[Fall]] with 99 lives and a [[Cape Feather]] in the [[item storage|Item Stock]].
+==Story==
+'''From the instruction booklet:'''
+<blockquote>After saving the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] from Bowser and the rest of the 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.
+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.
-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.
+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.
-==Story==
+"Monstrous turtles!,{{sic}}" 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."
-[[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 World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''.]]
-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.
+With a little luck (and help from a [[Cape Feather|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.
+[[File:YoshisIsland2.png|thumb|left|Mario riding on the introduced mount, Yoshi, in the level [[Yoshi's Island 2]]]]
-[[File:Smw powerup chart.jpg|thumb|A chart illustrating Mario's power-ups in this game.]]
+As the game is a 2D platformer, the object of every [[level]] is to get to the [[Giant Gate]] at the end to advance to the next level before the [[Time Limit|timer]] runs out. Mario (or Luigi) can [[jump]] over and on top of various [[platform]]s and obstacles and [[stomp]] on various enemies to defeat them. In addition to the basic jump, Mario can [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]] to destroy certain types of [[block]]s and enemies, whereas {{button|snes|X}} or {{button|snes|Y}} lets Mario [[dash]] if held down. When the player presses either of those buttons when Mario is next to some items, he can pick them up and carry them through the level as the buttons are held. Mario can now hold objects underwater; when he does, he can [[swim]] quickly when the player uses only {{button|snes|Pad}} without pressing the jump button. When Mario hits the Giant Gate at the end of the level, if he touches the vertically moving tape between the gate, he gets awarded [[Goal Star|Bonus Star]]s depending on how high the tape is when he touches it. If he collects 100 Bonus Stars, Mario can play a [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]] that helps him earn [[extra life|extra lives]]. Some levels contain a [[Midway Gate]], which not only powers Mario up to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] when touched but also serves as a [[checkpoint]] for Mario to respawn near if he gets defeated in the level.
+Mario can transform with power-up items, mostly found in blocks. The basic [[Super Mushroom]], which turns Mario into Super Mario, causes him to grow bigger and allows him to sustain an extra hit. When Super Mario hits a block, usually a more powerful item spawns in the Super Mushroom's place, such as a [[Fire Flower]] or the newly introduced [[Cape Feather]]. Introduced in ''Super Mario World'' is the [[item storage|Item Stock]], where Mario can hold on to one extra item should he find it while in powered-up forms; players can manually drop their reserve item by pressing {{button|snes|select}}. If Mario gets damaged and turns into [[Small Mario|regular Mario]], the reserve item automatically deploys. A newly introduced character and power-up in ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi, also appears from certain blocks. Mario can jump on Yoshi to ride him and receive more special abilities, the most prominent one being using his tongue to eat enemies and carry items.
+If Mario gets touched by an enemy or a damaging obstacle while he is in his small form, he loses a life. If he gets damaged by an enemy while in a power-up form, he reverts to his normal form. If Mario loses all of his lives, the player receives a [[Game Over]] and is prompted to [[continue]] from their last save with five more lives. Some obstacles defeat Mario instantly regardless of what power-up he has, such as falling into [[pit]]s or [[lava]], getting crushed, and not making it to the goal in time. Every time Mario gets defeated, he gets sent back to the world map.
+''Super Mario World'' retains the world map system from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' with more expanded features. Rather than having levels and worlds segmented, most worlds and levels are seamlessly connected to each other, with a heavier focus on multiple paths per level clearance, and thus creating a less linear map, with a few exceptions. Typically, prior to entering new areas, Mario has to defeat a [[castle]] boss, usually one of Bowser's seven children, the Koopalings. Once they are defeated, the castles they reside in are destroyed and cannot be replayed, though in international versions of the game, they can be replayed if players hold {{button|snes|L}} and {{button|snes|R}} on the castles' remains.
+Two-player mode returns, where players take turns playing through the game; Player 1 controls Mario, while Player 2 controls Luigi. Players can opt to use the same controller or two controllers to play the mode. If one player fails to clear a course, the other player takes a turn, and if a Midway Gate is touched, the other player starts at the Midway Gate. Players can also hand each other lives on the map screen if they press {{button|snes|L}} or {{button|snes|R}}.
+After the player beats every special level in the [[Special Zone]], a game aesthetic change called [[Fall]] occurs, where the world map obtains a different palette and some enemies get their sprites changed. Once Fall is activated, these changes cannot be reversed unless the save file is deleted and a new game is started.

+{{SMW map}}
+''Super Mario World'' takes place on the archipelago of [[Dinosaur Land]], and players navigate it through a world map comprised of a greater, general view of the whole land and several sub-maps for specific areas. Unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', whose world maps featured mostly numbered panels largely detached from the landscape, levels in ''Super Mario World'' are marked by button-like spots laid on the environment itself, creating an organic appearance between the world and each level. Players first start out on Yoshi's Island at [[Yoshi's House]], where the path immediately branches off into two levels. The order of the world themes is unique to this title: Players first start in two grassy plain-like worlds while eventually venturing into a cave toward a sky area, into a forest, onto a rocky island, and finally into the [[Valley of Bowser]], which takes on a subterranean wasteland. Haunted [[Ghost House]]s are introduced in ''Super Mario World'' and populate Dinosaur Land; unlike traditional level layouts, they tend to contain puzzles and traps designed to confuse the player. Cave levels and levels that primarily take place underwater or where [[water]] is prevalent are additionally marked as such on the map, with most cave levels outside the [[Vanilla Dome]] and the Valley of Bowser featuring rocks around them, while Mario gets submerged in water for the water levels.
+''Super Mario World'' contains nine worlds and 73 (74 if the [[Back Door]] and [[Front Door]] are counted as separate levels, and 76 if the [[Top Secret Area]] and Yoshi's House are counted as levels) levels in total. 24 of these levels have secret exits, so depending on how one counts the levels, this makes for a total of 97 to 100 exits, although only 96 are tracked by the game. Almost all worlds contain four regular levels and at least one secret level. Levels marked in yellow contain one exit, while levels marked in red contain an alternative, secret exit. Other points of interest include the [[Switch Palace]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and the [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|star-shaped portals]] to [[Star World]] that are unlocked only when players find the associated secret exit. Switch Palaces activate respectively colored permeable [[Dotted-Line Block|Dotted Line Block]]s and turn them into solid [[! Block|Exclamation Mark Block]]s that can be stood on or hit from below. Once Switch Palace levels have been completed, they cannot be visited again. Warp Pipes warp players to different areas of the map, usually to different worlds altogether. Finally, Yoshis cannot be taken into castles, fortresses, or Ghost Houses, though Yoshi remains outside for the player if they exit the level. In castles, players have to defeat the Koopalings, while in fortresses, players need to defeat [[Reznor]]s.
+Star World and the [[Special Zone]] are bonus worlds that are accessed when players find secret exits throughout Dinosaur Land that lead to the Star Roads. The Star World levels require the player to find a [[key]] and [[keyhole]] secret exit to progress through it, while the Special Zone is a linear area that is unlocked when players complete all of Star World's secret exits. The Special Zone levels are much more difficult relative to the levels in this game; none of the levels contain [[Midway Gate]]s, and some can be long while others use level gimmicks.

-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).

-:
+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>{{cite|date=August 1991|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''[[Mario Mania]]'' Nintendo Player's Guide|page=43}}</ref> (or Double Jump)<ref>{{cite|title=''Super NES Nintendo Player's Guide''|page=13 and 15|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1992}}</ref> to Mario 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.
-*[[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.
-<gallery>
+Red, Blue, and Yellow Yoshis are uncommon in ''Super Mario World''. They are first encountered in [[Star World]], which is accessible by using the five [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]]s found throughout the game. Red, Blue, and Yellow Yoshis are found as [[Baby Yoshi|Mini-Yoshi]]s, small and unable to be ridden. However, through carrying them, the Mini-Yoshis eat the enemies and items they touch. When they eat five enemies, shells, [[coin]]s, or active [[Grab Block]]s, they transform into adult Yoshis and can be used normally. If a Mini-Yoshi eats a single power-up, it grows up instantly. Mini-Yoshis of all colors hatch from the eggs rescued from the castles during the end credits of the game.

-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 in the [[Star World]], a mysterious place accessible by using the five [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]]s found throughout the game. When they are encountered in Star Road, they are Baby Yoshis, small and unrideable, but through carrying them, the baby Yoshi's will eat the enemies they touch. When five 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.

+''Super Mario World'' retains some of the enemies from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', such as the common [[Koopa Troopa]]s and their varieties, Ghost House-dwelling [[Boo]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s in a cave environment, and [[Cheep Cheep]]s underwater, while introducing more species that would regularly appear in later entries in the ''Super Mario'' series, such as [[Magikoopa]]s, [[Fish Bone|Fishbone]]s, [[Swoop]]ers, and [[Wiggler]]s. Goombas are featured less prominently in this title and function differently than in prior ''Super Mario'' titles; they are later localized as [[Galoomba]]s. Some of the new enemies introduced are variants of other species, such as the cape-wielding and flying [[Super Koopa (enemy)|Super Koopa]]s, the large [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s that are encountered before regular [[Bullet Bill]]s, the spike-donning [[Spike Top]]s, and the pipe-inhabiting [[Lakitu]]s. Included with the introduced enemies are various new obstacles, most of which populate the castle and fortress levels in the game, and several of these obstacles would make later appearances in the ''Super Mario'' series, namely [[Grinder]]s and [[Skewer]]s.
-Additionally, Yoshi can become Blue Yoshi if he touches [[Yoshi's Wings]], which appear in some levels and act as shortcuts to the end of the stage.
+When [[Fall]] is unlocked, some of these enemies have their graphics changed; however, their behaviors are unaltered.

Most power-ups emerge from the blocks populated in levels, and players are able to carry an extra item in their [[item storage|Item Stock]] if they are already powered up. While the [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]], and [[Super Star]] return, ''Super Mario World'' introduces the Cape Feather, which gently floats down when it appears onscreen as well as being able to be spawned from defeating a [[Super Koopa (enemy)|Super Koopa]] with a flashing cape. The new [[Power Balloon]] is a rare item used in a few levels and serves as a temporary transformation for Mario and Luigi.
-Red Koopa Paratroopa: A Red Koopa Troopa with wings. Flies around in a set area.
+In addition to the power-up items, Mario and Luigi can encounter other level features that help them progress through the level, such as [[1-Up Mushroom]]s granting them [[extra life|extra lives]] or [[key]]s and [[keyhole]]s granting them access to secret levels.
-Yellow Koopa Paratroopa: A Yellow Koopa Troopa with wings. It never flies, but it hops over shells that are kicked at him.

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.

+A [[Super Mario World (album)|compilation soundtrack for ''Super Mario World'']] was released in Japan on February 25, 1991, and it contains original jazz arrangements composed by musician Soichi Noriki and performed by the Mario Club Band; the album additionally contains music from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The arrangements are recorded on the album's first disc, while the second disc contains the original compositions. The music was also included on ''[[Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music]]'', another Japan-only album released in 1992 that contains music from various games released for the SNES. ''[[Super Mario Compact Disco]]'', a compilation soundtrack released originally in Japan on August 1, 1993, contains pieces that remix and rearrange music sampling sound effects from the game into a funk and hip-hop-oriented genre with lyrics. ''Super Mario World'' music has been featured in several of the ''Nintendo Sound Selection'' series, namely ''[[Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.2: Loud Music]]'' and ''[[Nintendo Sound Selection: Endings & Credits]]'', and in several ''Super Mario'' anniversary soundtracks, such as ''[[Happy! Mario 20th - Super Mario Sound Collection]]'' and ''[[The 30th Anniversary Super Mario Bros. Music]]''.
+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>{{cite|url=docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJBlHHDc65fhZmKUGLrDTLCm6rfUU83-kbuD8Y0zU0o/edit?pli=1#gid=717751203|title=NEWER VGM Sound Sources|language=en|publisher=Google Sheets|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>

[[Takashi Tezuka]] was the overall director of the game, listed as the "Total Director" in the original Japanese version of the credits.<ref name="TCRF"/>
+==Development==
+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>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Takashi Tezuka, Shigefumi Hino and Hisashi Nogami|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20171003014426/https://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic/interview-super-mario-world|title=''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''|publisher=Nintendo of America|accessdate=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>{{cite|title=''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide|page=32|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>

+[[File:Beta Super Mario World Level.jpg|thumb|An early version of a level, likely Yoshi's Island 1.]]
+[[Dinosaur Land]] was drastically different from 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)|Toad]]s 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''" on the title screen.

+[[File:Fireball kill.png|thumb|Glitchy graphic from destroying Iggy's fireball]]
+[[File:Sorbetislandbug.png|thumb|right|The miscolored overworld glitch]]
+===Glitched graphics from defeated enemies===
+The balls on [[Iggy]]'s and [[Larry]]'s platforms can be destroyed by the sliding attack, as can the [[Grinder]]s (using a [[Triangular Block]]). This results in glitchy graphics, most likely because the developers did not intend for these enemies to be defeated. The same happens if [[Mario]] does a nosedive in the second level of the [[Bowser]] battle. The [[Metal ball|Big Steely]] is defeated as a red sprite of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s head.
-[[File:SMWEdibleDolphin.png|thumb|Yoshi can eat the dolphins in the Japanese version.]]
+===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 this is 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 the [[Forest of Illusion]] or the [[Valley of Bowser]] and comes back to the main overworld, the entire world is ivory-colored instead. The glitch ends if the player completes a level or visits a [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]].

-*[[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 added [[Cape Feather]] in one of the [[Rotating Block]]s in the structure found early in the level in the international version.

[[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.

 ====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 PAL 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 PAL version differed from both the Japanese and North American releases in height. Each version also has their own marker to denote whether all 96 exits were found or not.

+==Notable mistakes and errors==
+===Graphical===
+<!--If a discrepancy can be excused by the palette and tile size limitations, don't add it, as it's not a mistake in that case. For instance, there are not enough colors in a palette to color the Koopalings' hair and shells properly at once, Koopa Troopas have short snouts due to the limited size of the tiles, and unshelled Koopas are squat due to needing to have the same hitbox while walking as while sliding. Oddities induced by reusing tiles in very off-model ways, such as Bony Beetles having Dry Bones' falling apart animation, can be put down, but discretion in adding these is advised.-->
+[[File:Cloud face.png|thumb|Cloud rendering error]]
+*Several graphical errors are present in the game. Of note is that the [[Magikoopa]]s' unique palette has their colors ordered incorrectly, resulting in the area that should be occupied by the lightest shade of blue instead having the darkest. This is fixed in the Game Boy Advance version by giving them the normal blue palette.
+*The Koopa bosses are all depicted with three fingers on each hand. This is fixed in the GBA version. Most of the [[Koopalings]]' sprites are made to resemble their ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' counterparts (likely to be more easy to recognize), even when the result would be off-model from their artwork, such as with [[Iggy]] having only one tooth and [[Wendy]] having a white bow with red spots.
+*[[Morton]], [[Roy]], and [[Ludwig]] are given green, blue, and yellow palettes, respectively, in gameplay. In the credits, they are given turquoise, gray, and pink palettes, respectively. However, in order to match up with their ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' palettes, they should be given the gray, pink, and turquoise palettes, respectively. The credits also give Ludwig Morton's teeth, which would remain for his appearance in ''Super Mario Maker 2''.
+*[[Lemmy]] is depicted as being yellow and has large fangs and spikeless arm cuffs, likely owing to having the same body as Wendy to conserve graphic space.
+*Iggy is accidentally given [[Larry]]'s hair, leaving Iggy's [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|unused]] except for in the credits. This error remains in the GBA version.
+*[[Bowser]] is depicted as being primarily green. This is fixed in the GBA version to make him primarily orange. In addition, he lacks the spiked cuffs on his arms. This error is kept in the GBA version. Bowser's sprite was redesigned in the ''Super Mario World'' theme of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''.
+*[[Yoshi]]'s arms are orange, as are those of the rest of [[Yoshi (species)|his species]].
+*Due to how [[Chargin' Chuck]]s' graphics are assembled, their graphics have many errors. Most conspicuously, their heads come off for a frame when they are hit. Other errors include their facemasks going behind the rim of their plastrons in certain poses, and the facemasks also being visible in front of the clapping effect. They are also assigned a green palette in-game despite being colored with blue highlights in their artwork and being given a blue palette in the credits. However, when running, their shoulders have a blue palette very briefly.
+*Despite [[Dry Bones]] being skeletal [[Koopa Troopa]]s, they are depicted as being far larger than their living counterparts. They also have neck and arm bones in their sprites but not their artwork.
+*The two lower tiles on the back-facing [[Climbing Koopa]]s appear to be switched, as the lower part of the shell moves in the opposite direction as the upper part of it, and the limbs are not oriented as they are in the front-facing sprites.
+*[[Spike Top]]s are seemingly depicted with six legs in the game, despite seemingly having four in their artwork. This is retained in the ''Super Mario Maker'' games.
+*Despite being given green feet in their artwork, [[Galoomba|Goomba]]s are assigned the yellow palette in-game, with the yellow only affecting their feet anyway.
+*[[Monty Mole]]s have incompatible designs between their jumping and running sprites, with the former having a split lip and the latter having a smooth curve for a mouth. The GBA remake continues this with [[Mega Mole]]'s unique defeat sprite seen by having Yoshi eat one while playing as Luigi.
+*Due to how [[Mechakoopa]]s' tiles are assembled, the sprite of one getting up from being stunned appears to have half of an extra lower jaw under its full jaw and half of an extra foot over its full foot.
+*[[Big Boo]]s have lower fangs, white eyes, and a bluish coloration in their sprites, but they appear identical to normal [[Boo]]s in their artwork. In many future games, the two remain identical in appearance outside of size.
+*If a [[Lakitu's Cloud]] is partially off screen, its face can appear in the wrong place.
+===Miscellaneous===
+*In the Japanese version, the message spelled out with [[coin]]s in [[Funky (level)|Funky]] reads "YOU ARE SUPER PLAYER!!" in a typical case of {{wp|Engrish}}. The Western versions fix the grammar to "YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!!" thus adding more coins to the level.
+*The English localization refers to the enemy known as ''Kuribon'' in Japan as "[[Goomba]]," either in an accidental mistranslation or a deliberate attempt to group the two creatures together, possibly to seem more familiar to players. This led to confusion in Western depictions as to whether or not the two creatures were the same thing until ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' retranslated them as "[[Galoomba]]s," though ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' seemingly made an earlier attempt with "[[Goombob]]."
+==Reception==
+===Critical reception===
+''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>{{cite|url=www.metacritic.com/game/wii/super-mario-world|title=''Super Mario World''|language=en|publisher=Metacritic|accessdate=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>{{cite|author=Navarro, Alex|language=en|date=February 6, 2007|url=www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-mario-world-review/1900-6165471|title=''Super Mario World'' Review|publisher=GameSpot|accessdate=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>{{cite|author=Thomas, Lucas M.|date=February 5, 2007|url=www.ign.com/articles/2007/02/06/super-mario-world-vc-review|title=''Super Mario World'' VC Review|publisher=IGN|accessdate=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>{{cite|author=O' Neill, Jamie|date=September 21, 2019|url=www.nintendolife.com/reviews/snes/super_mario_world|title=''Super Mario World'' Review|publisher=Nintendo Life|accessdate=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>{{cite|author=Whitehead, Dan|date=June 9, 2007|url=www.eurogamer.net/r-virtualconsole-080607?page=2|page=2|title=Virtual Console Roundup|publisher=Eurogamer|accessdate=September 19, 2020}}</ref>

Super Mario World is a masterclass in side-scrolling platforming design, to the point that modern 2D game developers should be encouraged to study it as a pre-requisite of mastering their craft. The artistry on display here is not just the way Koji Kondo's tunes fit perfectly with Dinosaur Land's locations in its creative world map – with courses that were presented with subtle 16-bit graphical flair for the November 1990 launch of the Super Famicom – but its success as an outstanding video game is predominantly due to stellar course design and its tantalising 96 level exits. It's the hidden gameplay surprises that keep you playing and returning for more, so it's the secrets that are ultimately Super Mario World's 'special' sauce.''"

 ==Remakes and ports==
+[[File:Box Art NA - Super Mario World Super Mario Advance 2.jpg|thumb|Box for ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', the Game Boy Advance reissue for ''Super Mario World'']]
+===Nintendo Super System===
+The game was ported to the [[Nintendo Super System]], an arcade machine, in 1991. It is the only ''Super Mario'' title released on this system. There are a few differences such as a message on the title screen letting the player know what version it is. Players can choose one of seven zones to start in. There is no way to save progress, and a timer counts down on the bottom right corner when play begins, reappearing when time is almost up. Afterwards, a screen appears, asking if the player wants to continue by inserting coins.

-{{main|Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World}}
+The ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'' version gives [[Luigi]] a more distinctive sprite where he is taller and thinner and animates differently, while in the original, he is simply a palette swap of Mario, and his moves are identical to Mario's.

It has aired from September 14, 1991 to December 7, 1991, featuring 13 episodes, the least amount of the ''Super Mario'' cartoons. While it has faithful elements to the original series, the cartoon has a focus on common prehistoric stereotypes and themes such as the Mario characters living with cavepeople and relying on anachronistic themes to introduce to the cavepeople such as cars, television, and telephones.

-[[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"

-==={{conjecturaltext|Glitchy graphics from defeated enemies}}===
+==References to other games==
-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.
+*''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' – Fire Luigi's color scheme is taken from Luigi's coloration in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of this game.
-The same thing happens if Mario does a nose diving in the second level of the Bowser battle. The [[Big Steely]] is defeated as a red sprite of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s head.
+*''{{wp|Devil World}}'' – The egg-hatching sound effect originated from this game.
+*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' – If the player waits on the [[Special Zone]] map for one minute and 57 seconds, a cover version of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|overworld theme]] will start playing. The 3/4 waltz time signature returns in the "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)#Super Mario World|Underwater BGM]]" after being absent in the "Underwater BGM" of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a feature that would become a staple of underwater themes in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series.
+*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' – Unaltered [[Ninji]]s reappear, and Bullet Bills resembling [[Pidgit]]s appear in the [[Fall]]. [[Pokey]]s also return.
+*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' – The [[Sunken Ghost Ship]] was once an [[airship]] from this game. Also, all of the Koopalings return here. [[Bob-omb]]s reuse their keyless artillery graphics here. The intro of the final boss theme is an arrangement of the [[Dark Land]] music from this game.
-==={{conjecturaltext|Miscolored overworld}}===
+==References in later games==
-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.
+*''[[Mario Roulette]]'' – Most sounds, music, and graphics from here appear in this game.
+*''[[Mario Paint]]'' – Many sounds and graphics from here appear in this game.
-==={{conjecturaltext|Hold a [[Koopa Troopa]] shell while on a vine}}===
+*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' – Lakitu is nearly identical in appearance in this game. Many tracks in this game are based on levels here. The music that plays in the [[Ghost Valley]] and [[Bowser's Castle (disambiguation)|Bowser Castle]] courses are remixes of the music from the [[Ghost House]]s and the final boss theme, respectively, from ''Super Mario World''.
-First, the player must go to an area with 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 him. When Mario/Luigi jumps off the vine, the glitch will end, but he can do it as many time as they want. This glitch can also be done with anything that can be grabbed, such as keys and trampolines.
+*''[[Būbū Mario]]'' – Yoshi returns, and Bowser kidnaps Peach in a similar way.
+*''[[Mario Undōkai]]'' – The goal of the marathon is to race on Yoshis.
-==Staff==

+*''[[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 [[Yoshi's Island (location)#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Yo'ster Isle]], and a rendition of the overworld theme from this game plays upon first meeting [[Gaz]]. Also, the overworld theme 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. Also, Yoshi references this game when he says, ''"It has been so long since our last adventure!"'' when speaking to Mario at the end of the game.
+*''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' – The first part of the background music heard in the Special Zone was arranged as the "Mystery Room" theme.
