Mario playing the bonus game in Super Mario World. Here, a "perfect game" of nine Fire Flowers rewards him with eight 1-Up Mushrooms.
The Bonus Game is a special minigame in Super Mario World. It can be entered only by collecting 100 Goal Stars at the Giant Gates. When this is done, the bonus game automatically starts just after the "iris in" effect at the end of the level.
The bonus game takes place in a Switch Palace-styled room that Mario or Luigi enters via Warp Pipe. There are nine Item Box-like blocks, eight of which are circling around the ninth. The ninth block is the only one that has a stable item in it (a Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, or Super Star); the others are constantly changing their items. The player's task is to hit the circling blocks from below to stop their reels on a matching item. The actual game works just like tic-tac-toe: Three of the same item in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally), no matter which item it is, earns the player a 1-Up Mushroom. The player can win up to eight extra lives.
It is impossible to get exactly seven 1-Up Mushrooms in this bonus game. All attempts to do so either miss the seventh or add an eighth.
References in later games
- Certain notes in Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Super Mario 3D Land play a cover of the bonus game theme.
- The original theme also makes an appearance in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, if the "Bonus Area" sound effect is applied to a Super Mario World-themed stage. The ending tune also plays after the player clears the 10 Mario Challenge, or the 100 Mario Challenge on the Easy mode. The "Bonus Area" sound effect reappears in Super Mario Maker 2.
- A remix of the music plays during some of the challenge areas in Super Mario Odyssey.
- In Super Mario Run, a minigame that can be played in the Blue Bonus Game House is played the same way as this minigame; however, the player can win either coins or Rally Tickets.
- In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Bonus Game theme can be heard in a medley of songs from Super Mario World.
