Super Mario World

Enjoy Playing Super Mario World

Nintendo released Super Mario World in 1990 on its next generation console and gave players a sprawling platform adventure. Mario and Luigi explore Dinosaur Land to free Princess Toadstool from Bowser. They meet Yoshi a friendly dinosaur and he eats foes and picks up new powers from shells in different hues. Mario grabs a Cape Feather and soars above levels.

The game features intricate level design and hidden surprises and an overworld map guides players along varied routes toward challenges. Ghost houses and castles host fierce bosses at each end and secret exits open bonus stages or reveal shortcuts. Yoshi brings new ways to explore and beat foes.

Critics praised its tight mechanics and clever twists and the game sold over twenty million copies worldwide. That success placed the title among the best sellers ever and Nintendo reissued the game on several platforms from handheld consoles to mini collections. Modern platform games still borrow ideas from its design.
