Super Mario World was based on the Super NES video game with the same name. This show takes place on Dinosaur Land, and Toad is replaced by Yoshi and a preadolescent caveman named Oogtar (who did not exist in the games). Unlike in the game, Yoshi's Island was populated with cavemen instead of Yoshies, and many of the locations were not called different names. For example, the Vanilla Dome was called the Ice Dome, and the Forest of Illusion was called the Enchanted Forest. Also, enemies featured in the game were never called by their real names on the show, but rather by what real-life things they resembled (for example, Rexes were called dinosaurs, and Wigglers were called caterpillars).

This cartoon was shown with the third season of Captain N: The Game Master in 1991, and was the last original Mario animated series. Like its predecessor, it was last seen on PAX in 1999. Except for part of a Christmas videotape released in 1996, it has never had any NTSC home video releases. (However, all but two of the episodes were released on PAL VHS.)

Trivia

  • The show is rated TV-Y7.
  • In the original "We'll be back" and "We’re back" clips, the show was called "Captain N & Super Mario Bros. World".
  • The episode writing in this series seems to be less complex and different than SMB3, just as SMB3 was different than SMBSS. This is probably since Reed and Bruce Shelly did not provide the pilot and did not work as story editors on this show (or on the show period) but rather Phil Harnage, an exceptional writer of the previous two series. The idea that the setting was no longer in the Mushroom Kingdom probably added to this.
  • Yoshi's basic look changes considerably for the better after the first half of the show’s run.
  • Yoshi's voice actor, Andrew Sabiston, later went on to do the voice of Diddy Kong in Donkey Kong Country.
