'''Super Mario World''' was a launch title for the [[Super Nintendo]] and the first [[Portal: Mario Brothers|''Mario'' game]] for the system. It carries on the style of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' games from the [[NES]] while adding some new elements, such as the dinosaur [[Yoshi]].

=Story=

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Princess Peach]] have gone on vacation to [[Dinosaur Land]] following their defeat of [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. But their fun does not last long before Bowser kidnaps the princess again. Bowser and the seven [[Koopalings]] have taken over Dinosaur Land. The Mario brothers also met a young dinosaur named [[Yoshi]], whose friends had been captured by Bowser's children. This left the brothers with a threefold task: to liberate Dinosaur Land, save Yoshi's friends and save Princess Peach once again.

=Gameplay=

As in the Super Mario Bros. games, the player controls [[Mario]] (or a second player controls [[Luigi]]) in navigating side-scrolling levels. Super Mario World retains the [[Super Mushroom]], [[Fire Flower]] and [[Super Star]] from previous Mario games. It also adds the [[Cape Feather]] and [[P-Balloon]]. Another gameplay addition was Yoshi, who could be found in certain levels and ridden. Yoshi could eat enemies and peform special moves after eating multicolored Koopa shells. However, Yoshi would become frightened and run away if attacked.

The game contained numerous levels. Like ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the game features an overworld map connecting levels, with one addition being secret exits that usually led to new levels or shortcuts. There were 96 exits in all throughout the game. In addition to the seven primary worlds, there were also two hidden worlds (the Star World and the Special Zone) that could only be reached through hidden exits.

=Continuity Notes=

*The instruction manual states that Mario and company go on vacation directly following the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
*Additionally, the instruction manual implies that the Wrecked Ship used to be one of the airships from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

=Legacy=

''Super Mario World'' was a success sales-wise. The character of Yoshi became popular after premiering in this game and began to appear in many games throughout the 90's.

==Sequels==

No direct sequel was ever made. In 1996 a game called ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' was released. However, the game was actually a spin-off game starring Yoshi (technically acting as a prequel) and having little to no resemblance with ''Super Mario World'' aside from both games having Yoshi. Additionally, the original Japanese title was simply ''Super Mario: Yoshi's Island''.

==Ports and Rereleases==

*In 1994, a second version of ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' was released which contained ''Super Mario World'' along with the NES games from the first version.
*Released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2001 as ''[[Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World]]''.
*It became available for download on [[Nintendo Wii|the Wii's]] [[Virtual Console]] in 2006 and the [[Wii U Virtual Console]] in 2013. A demo version was included in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as an unlockable Masterpiece.
