Product ReviewsSuper Mario World (Nintendo SNES, 1992)

It won't ruin your childhood. It will confirm how great it was.

It has probably been 20 years since I played this game. I started playing this weekend and it is just as good as I remember. No destroying my childhood nostalgia here. Super Mario World is still great! Read full review...

It’s sort of works

I bought this game and it worked perfectly fine when I got it. Then when I tried playing it again the saved data in the game reset and it sometimes turns into a black screen. Now every time I play the saved data resets and I can’t progress from where I was last. I wish it worked properly because I really love this game but sadly it just doesn’t work that well. Other than the whole saved data thing it works fine I guess. Read full review...

Doesn't get old

I remember the day my parents brought this home with a brand new Super Nintendo. My life was forever changed. 26 years later and I repurchased it and am now playing it with my 9 year old daughter. The feeling is still there. Wow. Not many experiences in life can match that.Read full review...

Old time favorites! Never gets old.

This is one of the favorite classics that every one with an SNES has or needs to get. A best classic collection won't be completed without this game. It's one of my favorites!

What an excellent deal I got!

Super Mario World is such a fantastic game! The music, level design, and graphics are so excellent. Nintendo really knocked it out of the park back in ‘91 with this smash hit!

Re-Playable; Colorful; Appropriately Challenging; Great Levels; Fun

I'm nearly 30 years old, and I recently re-bought this game because it has incredible re-play value and is great fun.

I had a brother and a sister, and we had several video games growing up; but as we began to get through high school and spend less time playing video games, we sold our systems and games in the late '90s. A few years ago, I got myself another SNES, and I have since acquired what I feel are the top few SNES games released. This is one of them.

It is one of a few games that carves an unforgettable niche in a young player's memory. The graphics are colorful, vibrant, and inviting. The music is lively and, for the most part, stays fresh. I find myself walking around humming the tunes to myself, now that I've been playing the game again. The control with the original Nintendo control pad is outstanding. Modern systems and games do no better than the level of control coded into this classic. The slightest nuances of how long and how hard you press a face button (A, B, X, Y) or a directional button are precisely reflected in the ways that Mario, Yoshi, and Luigi interact with the worlds around them.

Worlds is right. One of the reasons this game is so memorable and re-playable is that it is brimming with a variety of levels and worlds. There are numerous hidden levels, found through secret doors in the levels along the main path. There are secret paths through the stars, allowing quick access for experienced and adept players to the end of the game. Early levels are easy, but late levels are quite difficult. The challenge is probably just about right, though. Some spots demand practice, but are not really impossible. The challenge levels of the game are another thing that make it great. The designers did this right.

They did a great job with the level designs, as well. Levels are varied, presenting a wide assortment of challenges, roadblocks, and puzzles throughout the colorful world. They never seem to become dull, with new designs springing up every other step.

The music CAN become repetitive, however - if one plays the game hours a day. It's one thing about this game that ensures I don't devote too much time to it (which is good). Another occasional complaint is when a challenging level sticks its menacing head forward, preventing my pass. Sometimes, a level just has my number for a while, and that can be frustrating; but a game that is TOO easy is worse, and has LESS replay value. A challenge is a must for a game to demand for you to come back to it after years and years, and after having beaten the game in the past.

I feel that the Super Nintendo has been the greatest home video game system released for its time. It lacks the colossal processing and memory capabilities of today's machines; but for its time, its games were more fun and more playable and more RE-playable than games of today. Developers had to DEVELOP their games, instead of simply selling re-vamped graphics engines year-after-year.

In that early gaming world, Super Mario is among the best. Its graphics and sounds appeal to all ages. The levels are exciting, adventurous, and appropriately challenging. Unlike Mario games before it, it allowed players to save their progress in an expansive setting. It's huge, and its fun. You can become a giant; ride a fire-breathing, flying dragon; and defeat shelled beasts of almost countless varieties - and you can encounter staples to the Mario universe that were first seen here. Truly a great.Read full review...

Classic game. I had to score a new copy after I accidentally sold the one I had >.<

Shipped great, packaged with care, which was much appreciated. No cons.

The best Mario Game in the series

This is by far the best Mario game in the series. The originality of the levels and the added abilities make this one stand out. The addition of Yoshi takes this game to a different level, something that Super Mario 3 did to the series with the tail.

The levels are so very different from other Mario games, that they are so much fun to play. The new super cape really opens the levels up which adds to the secrets that can be found. Some of the coolest levels in the game are in the forest levels, which have so many secrets, it will take you forever to get through them. The ghost houses are full of secret passages and are extremely challenging especially in later levels.

Yoshi adds an all new dimension to the game, he allows you to rid the enemies by eating them. The great part is every enemy you eat counts as a coin! Not only that but if Yoshi eats different colored shells he gains different abilities.

If you are up for one heck of a challenge, go ahead and pick up this game! It is the best in the series!Read full review...

Great custom sequel to Super Mario World!

This game is awesome. A Super Mario World sequel with more difficulty for seasoned players. Wish it was longer! I would buy another sequel if it came out.
