Has it really been 14 years? The same game that I remembered getting the Christmas it came out, it bundled with the Super Nintendo, it being the game I was unable to put down? The same game I played at 6 or 7, coming back to me now at 20?Yes. And still every bit as enjoyable – though easier to clear this time around.The shining masterpiece of Mario gameplay, the pinnacle of platform gaming: Super Mario World. Why didn’t I buy you sooner? I missed your fun gameplay, your expansive levels, your multicolored Yoshi pals, your secrets, your everything.Oh, hi. Buy this game.Why? It is everything a platform game should be, and now it can fit in the palm of your hand (or you can stick it in your Gameboy Player and remember the olden golden days). 96 goals to clear, hundreds of Dragon Coins to collect, a huge worldmap.. SMW should be in every game enthusiast’s library. The colorful graphics are top-notch, the controls are so tight they’re second nature, the music is fun and takes a while to get on your nerves (especially in the @&@#(!## Special World level where you have to float Balloon Mario across the map and no I swear it didn’t take me over 30 tries).Updates. Luigi is no longer purple! There’s a new intro explaining how Peach gets captured this time. The majority of levels have Dragon Coins, including castles and ghost houses, and the game keeps track of them. Once you collect them all, you’ll get a neato surprise. You can now modify the color of Yoshi you get. Once you clear all 96 goals, you can warp to whatever level you wish using the new staus screen that shows you how many Dragon Coins you’ve collected on each level, all the goals you’ve gone through, and if you beat the level using Mario or Luigi. Yeah, you can choose to play as Luigi now. He’s got his wiggly jump from the GBA Super Mario 2. I haven’t used him cos it’s akin to sacrilige, so I can’t tell you if playing him is any fun or not.But this game is most certainly fun. Please, please buy it if you haven’t already. I personally guarantee you will not regret owning this classic piece of console history.

Nintendo decided to skip Super Mario 3, and go for 96 level Super Mario World, in the second installment of Mario on Gameboy Advance. The game starts with a new intro of Mario, Luigi and Peach out in a hot air balloon, where Mario and Luigi go off flying with their caps, when they return, the Princess has disappeared! For those of you who have played Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo, nothing big has changed, but there are 100s of details which have improved, which most people would never notice, such as the ability to save anywhere (because this is portable), more sound effects like the voices of Mario and Luigi and also hold 999 lives! An amazing new feature is the colored Yoshi’s! Once you find a colored Yoshi in the hidden Special World, you can find them everywhere at random. The graphics however are not as bold and bright as Super Mario World, instead they are light and dull. The sound really is not up to par with the original game either. There are new controls as well, such as the jump and run are still the A and B buttons, but now the spin jump is the R button. There are also new intros and finishes to the game. Like Super Mario Advance, there are several new challenges, such as there are now 350 dragon coins in the game, get them all, and see a little scene where Princess Peach turns them into Princess coins. For every 1 million points you earn a star is added to the start screen. Silly little challenges that will keep people working for years to come.

When I bought my SNES back in 1991, it was only because I needed to establish credit and I couldn’t think of anything else to buy. I’d seen a commercial for a game called F-Zero and was shocked to see how far games had come in the seven or so years since I’d lost all interest in them. That was why I bought the system. I had no intention of really getting back into gaming. But as fate would have it, that SNES system came bundled with a copy of Super Mario World. I remembered Mario from Donkey Kong and the original Mario Brothers arcade game, and I was aware of the Super Mario NES games, though I’d never played them. I think I had the SNES for a few weeks before I was finally bored enough to play SMW. Well, that was the end for me. I became a born-again gamer on the spot and I played SMW religiously for over two years. I’m still gaming more than ever, over 11 years later. This game isn’t going to impress anyone on a technical level today, but I think that as far as gameplay is concerned, this can still compete in today’s market. It’s a timeless classic, the sort of game that will truly never go out of style. I never would have guessed I’d be able to hold this massive masterpiece in the palm of my hand. I’m reserving my copy of the GameBoy Ultima version of Mario 64 right now…

Super mario world is my favorite of all the mario games ever. its the one i never get tired of, and the one i always go back to. it is definately the most rewarding of all of them, as well as challenging. so i’m very happy they are putting it on the game boy advance- the best game ever to play on long road trips! its almost the exact port with some souped up menus and all, just like they did for the first one. this one realy shows of the GBA capabilities. what are you waiting for?? if you own one GBA title own this one!

This was one of my favoirte games on the SNES, and now I can play it on the road.
Pros:
Very addictive game
Same ol Mario Story
Nice music
The birth of Yoshi!(purple ones are the best, because they fly)
A lasting game
A lot of bounuses
Mini games are still fun
decimate enemies with the fireflower, or the good ol feather
This is my favorite Mario game out of the whole series
Cons:
A bit repetive at the end
They couldave inproved the graphics right
I still wonder what’s up with the blue and red blocks
Luigi’s last performance in a Super Mario game(Was invisible in Mario 64, and Super Mario Sunshine)Well, what can I say, this is one of the hottest classics, and products avalible for the Game Boy Advance(So is Zelda, Link to the past, and Metroid Fusion). If you love Mario or have a gameboy advance, than you should have this, or get it, bacause I gaurentee you, you won’t regret it. And I hope the next game they come out with is super mario all starspeace
