Super Mario World
Template:Articleabout Template:Infobox Super Mario World (originally known in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World) was the first Mario game and launch title released for the Super Famicom on November 21, 1990. The game was produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, featuring music composed by Koji Kondo, and graphics designed by Shigefumi Hino. An updated version has been released on the Game Boy Advance. The original version was also re-released on Wii's Virtual Console. This is the Mario game in which Yoshi, Wigglers, Monty Moles, Swoopers, and Magikoopas made their debuts, and a save feature has been added.
The game was followed in 1995 by the prequel, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, which is set many years before the events in Super Mario World. Yoshi's Island spawned its own series of sequels.
Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that ever since they finished Super Mario Bros., the design staff wanted to have Mario ride a dinosaur. It was believed to be impossible technically until the Super NES was developed. According to Miyamoto, sixteen people were involved in the creation of the game, and it took about three years to make.[1] At some point during the game's development, it was meant to be released in North America and Europe as Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario World, but it was later shortened to Super Mario World.[2][3] Miyamoto has stated that this is his favorite Mario game.
In addition to the game itself, there is a cartoon series that is based on the game which debuted on September 14, 1991, one month after the American release. The series takes place in Dome City, and is produced by DiC Entertainment and Nintendo.
Story
The story from the instruction manual;
"After saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser and the rest of the Koopas in Super Mario 3, Mario and Luigi needed to recuperate from their adventures. Together they agreed that the best place to vacation was a magical place called Dinosaur Land."
But while Mario and Luigi reclined on the beach for a relaxing nap, Princess Toadstool disappeared, apparently seized by evil forces. After searching for hours for their missing friend, Mario and Luigi came upon an enormous egg in the forest.
Suddenly the egg hatched, and out popped a young dinosaur named YOSHI, who proceeded to tell Mario and Luigi a sad tale of how his dinosaur pals were sealed in similar eggs by a group of monstrous turtles.
"Monstrous turtles!," exclaimed Luigi. "Bowser and his bunch have returned!" Mario slowly nodded his head in agreement and, along with Luigi and Yoshi, set off across Dinosaur Land to find the Princess and to free Yoshi's friends. As they began their journey, Yoshi handed Mario a beautiful cape. "This may help you," Yoshi said. Some say it has magical powers."
With a little luck (and help from a magic cape), our hearty crew can defeat the seven worlds of Bowser's Krazy Koopa Kritters. Many locations are well-hidden so explore everywhere and try everything. Not all locations have to be explored to rescue the dinosaurs and save Princess Toadstool, but there are many "starry" treasures to be found in far-reaching places. You'll need to search all areas to find what kinds of treasures are there… in Super Mario World."
After the events of Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario and Princess Toadstool go on a vacation to Dinosaur Land by Hot Air Balloon. When Mario and the Princess arrived, Luigi was there waiting for them with a Cape. Luigi gave Mario a Feather and Mario turned into Cape Mario. Mario and Luigi flew around Dinosaur Land with their capes.
Meanwhile, Bowser and his Koopalings trapped Yoshi's friends in eggs and kidnapped Princess Toadstool. When Mario and Luigi returned they found the princess missing. Mario and Luigi set out to save the princess with the help of the Yoshis and Dolphins.
Mario and Luigi start their mission to save Princess Toadstool in Yoshi's Island. The brothers travel to the Yellow Switch Palace to activate all yellow ! Blocks. Here they rescue many trapped Yoshis, fight the first Koopaling, Iggy Koopa, and get the first Baby Yoshi. The Mario Brothers next go to Donut Plains, a place where there's a giant lake in the center. The Green Switch Palace was here. The brothers also defeated Morton Koopa Jr. here.
The brothers then went to the cave, Vanilla Dome, a cave full of Swoopers, Buzzy Beetles and many more dangerous enemies. Lava was all around this cave and the Red Switch Palace is located here. The brothers also defeated Lemmy Koopa. Later in the Twin Bridges, the Mario brothers crossed a bridge (the other bridge was optional) and defeated Ludwig von Koopa. The bridges were above Soda Lake.
The Forest of Illusion was very challenging and the brothers had to find the secret exits to get to Roy Koopa and his castle. The Blue Switch Palace was located here. In Chocolate Island, the brothers went through mountains and a land of chocolate. They got to Wendy O. Koopa's castle, later went to the Sunken Ghost Ship, which turned out to be a crashed Airship, and went on to the final level.
They finally got to Valley of Bowser, a very dark place. The Mario Brothers reached Larry Koopa and his castle and beat Larry who was a guard at Bowser's Castle. They fought Bowser and his Koopa Clown Car and saved Princess Toadstool. With the seven Yoshi Eggs, Mario, Yoshi, the Princess and Luigi returned to Yoshi's House where the other Yoshis (Red, Blue and Yellow) waited for them. Everyone watched the Baby Yoshis hatch out of their eggs. After that, Mario, Luigi and the Princess had a wonderful vacation in Dinosaur Land.
Also, Mario and Luigi went to the Star World and Special World. These two levels were "extra" zones, and were optional. The player did not actually need to complete these areas to beat the game and were added as a special challenge for players. The Star World however is very helpful for traveling around Dinosaur Land, and can also act as a shortcut to Bowser's Castle when the top left star is accessible. After beating the Special World some things in Dinosaur Land change, enemies and the overworld map get a different, fall themed, look and some other elements in the levels change (this doesn't happen in the GBA version, but this bonus can be unlocked in another way, by getting all of the 96 goals.)
Gameplay
The object of the game is to get to the goal tape to advance to the next level. While on Mario's way to the goal, he must encounter many enemies and collect power-ups and use items to help solve puzzles and destroy enemies.

Worlds
- Yoshi's Island (Iggy Koopa)
- Donut Plains (Morton Koopa Jr.)
- Vanilla Dome (Lemmy Koopa)
- Twin Bridges (Ludwig von Koopa)
- Forest of Illusion (Roy Koopa)
- Chocolate Island (Wendy O. Koopa)
- Valley of Bowser (Larry Koopa and Bowser)
Bonus Worlds
If Mario and/or Luigi accumulate 100 stars by touching the flag at the finish, they play a bonus game where they hit blocks. Eight random blocks travel around a block that already has a determined power-up. Power-ups include Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Stars. Mario/Luigi can only hit blocks while they are at the bottom, and hit blocks continue to travel around the center (while retaining the hit power-up). Once the last block is hit, the blocks stop traveling and 1-ups are awarded. The number of 3-in-a-row matches determines the number of 1-Ups the player will receive (up to a maximum of 8).
Characters
Mario (and, in 2-Player mode, Luigi) are the main playable characters. If Mario loses a life or completes a level in 2-Player mode, Luigi comes into play until he does the same. The two may also share Extra Lives on the world map. Unlike in some other Mario games, both of the plumbers possess the same strengths and weaknesses.
Colored Yoshis
In addition to Mario and Luigi, Yoshis of four different colors appear in the game, which may be controlled once acquired and help the Mario Bros. in many levels of the game:
- Green Yoshi, the default Yoshi. Like the other Yoshis, it is able to eat many kinds of enemies and jump on spiked enemies without taking harm as well as walk across Munchers. They can also utilize Shells for special powers, but unlike the other Yoshis, the color of the Shell determines the power provided, corresponding with the color of Yoshi it matches. This makes them the most versatile Yoshi, but the least reliable for providing a specific power.
- Red Yoshi, a Yoshi that spits out all Shells in the form of three fireballs.
- Blue Yoshi, a Yoshi that flies as long as a Shell is in its mouth.
- Yellow Yoshi, a Yoshi that can shake the ground by taking a Shell into its mouth, defeating enemies with its impact.

Cape Mario and a yellow Yoshi
Green Yoshis hatch out of Yoshi Eggs, usually found in various blocks throughout the game. If a Yoshi Egg is found but the player already has a Yoshi, the Egg will instead provide an 1-Up. Red, blue and yellow Yoshis are extremely rare in Super Mario World. They live only in the Star World, a mysterious place accessible by using the five Star Roads found throughout the game. When they are first encountered, they are Baby Yoshis, small and are unable to be rode, but through carrying them, the baby Yoshi's will eat the enemies they touch. When 5 enemies are eaten, they will transform into adult Yoshi's, and can now be used normally. Baby Yoshis of all colors hatch from the Yoshi Eggs rescued from the castles, during the ending credits of the game.

Remakes and Ports

Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
Template:Infobox Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 is a remake of Super Mario World made for the Game Boy Advance. It was the second title in the Super Mario Advance series and was released in 2002. There are many differences between the original Super Mario World and Super Mario Advance 2 (listed below). The game was a gigantic hit for Nintendo and the Game Boy Advance, selling 3,290,000 copies in the United States and 5,460,000 copies worldwide. Additionally, Luigi's sprite has been changed and made taller than Mario to match his normal appearance, and the Mario Bros. classic game has been included in the game (like the other Mario Advance games), with multiplayer.
List of Changes
- In the SNES version, when a new game is started, Mario is shown as well as a message box stating he is in Dinosaur Land and Bowser has kidnapped Peach. In the GBA version, both Mario and Luigi are shown, and Luigi is seen pacing back and forth while Mario is looking up at the message box.
- If the player manages to collect all five Yoshi Coins in every single level, all the Yoshi Coins will change into Peach Coins (after watching a cutscene where this happens). The player can also check out in which levels the Yoshi Coins have been collected or not, by simply pressing SELECT.
- Voices have been added to Boos, the Koopalings, and Mario and Luigi. Some of Mario and Luigi's voices were ripped from the first Mario Advance, while others are new.
- The point values for defeating the Chargin' Chucks are higher in the GBA version, and coins are awarded for defeating them with fireballs.
- Players can have up to 999 lives and save the number of lives for the next time the player plays the game.
- Dragon Coins are now found in Fortresses and Ghost Houses, with some areas of the fortresses reconfigured to accommodate them.
- Players now gain 400 Points after punching a Climbing Koopa rather than the original 100 Points.
- Players now start out with the power up they last had.
- There are more Message Blocks throughout the game than the SNES version. Messages in the SNES version featured the heading "Point of Advice", while the heading in the GBA version is "Tourist Tips."
- On the map screen, the icon for Top Secret Area is now a smiling bush rather than a yellow circle.
- When the player gets hurt with Cape or Fire power, the player won't become tiny and need to use the item in reserve (if any), but the player will become Super Mario/Luigi, and they will keep the reserve item.
- After completing all 96 goals in the game, most of the message blocks will be changed to congratulate the player on finding the secret world and clearing all the levels.
- After completing a castle or fortress, in the SNES version, the player could replay the castle by pressing L and R simultaneously. The player cannot reenter completed castles and fortresses in the GBA version until Bowser is defeated, after which they can be reentered anytime without the use of special button combinations.
- The player can get the colored Yoshis in ? Blocks: a Blue Yoshi if the player is Cape Mario/Cape Luigi, a Red Yoshi if the player is Fire Mario/Fire Luigi and a Green Yoshi or Yellow Yoshi if the player is Small Mario/Small Luigi or Super Mario/Super Luigi. This only happens after the Mario Bros. have used the Yoshis in Star World.
- When Yoshi eats ten berries consecutively in the SNES version, he will produce an egg containing a mushroom. In the GBA version, the egg contains a different item depending on the color Yoshi. If it is a green Yoshi, the egg produces a mushroom like the SNES version, however, a blue Yoshi will produce an egg containing a feather, Red Yoshi's egg produces a Fire Flower, and Yellow Yoshi's egg produces a Starman.
- In the GBA version, when the Mario Bros find a non-green Yoshi in the Star World, and grows it to full size, a message is displayed where the Yoshi thanks the player for rescuing it and tells the player what happens when that Yoshi eats any color shell.
- Luigi is an optional character for player 1 and he has some differences:
- Luigi is updated to resemble his current look: tall and skinny.
- Luigi jumps higher and farther than Mario.
- Luigi runs slower than Mario.
- When Luigi flies using the Cape, he doesn't fly as fast as Mario.
- When hurled, Fire Luigi's fireballs bounce higher than Fire Mario's.
- Unlike Mario, when Luigi rides Yoshi, he does not instantly swallow any enemy. Instead, Yoshi can spit them out and use them to attack other enemies. If Yoshi has an enemy in his mouth for about eight seconds, he will swallow it.
- If Luigi hits a Coin Block, all the coins will spill out of the block instead of collecting them one by one.
- The player can also save half-way through a level once the player has past the half-way gate and quit. When the player comes back to that level, the player will start from the half-way gate and it is not affected by playing another level after doing this process.
- The rescued Yoshi Egg dots are colored instead of being a dull gray-brown color.
- Princess Peach has a slightly different appearance. The color of her dress is lighter and she has bangs.
- The autumn changes return in the GBA version; however, there are some differences in the GBA autumn:
- In the SNES version, the changes occur after the player completes the Special courses. In the GBA version, the player must clear all 96 exits to make the changes occur.
- After the player unlocks the autumn changes in the GBA version, a cut scene is shown where Mario is in his balloon tossing out the masks for the Koopas to wear.
- In addition to the Koopas, Bullet Bills, and Piranha Plants, the Goombas and Pokeys have different appearances as well.
- In the GBA ending credits, although the alternate enemies are displayed, their original names remain. The alternate forms are not given names as they are in the English SNES version.
- Because there is only one run button on the GBA, it is impossible for Mario to turn around while flying with the cape, or release fireballs while holding an object.
- Instead of Yoshi having orange hands and arms, they were changed to the main color of the Yoshi (for example, a Blue Yoshi would have blue arms instead of green). This is due to the fact that later games featuring Yoshi are like that, and it become a staple for Yoshi's coloring. The artwork for Super Mario World even featured it, so reasons in-game for the arms to be orange are unknown.
- Mario's Fire Flower suit has a lighter shade of red in the Game Boy Advance remake than in the original.
- In the seventh room of Bowser's Castle which features the Bowser Statues that spit out flames, the Game Boy Advance remake didn't have the first statue spitting out flames, thereby making the first part of the room much easier.
- In #3 Lemmy's Castle, a powerup found lying around in the last room is a feather in the GBA version rather than a Super Mushroom.
- Some text is slightly changed after a Koopaling's defeat, for example:
- The SNES version states that either Mario or Luigi has defeated the Koopaling, whereas the GBA version states both Mario and Luigi have done so.
- Iggy Koopa is described as "crazed" in the GBA version, rather than "demented".
- Chocolate Island is described in the SNES version as "dangerous(but tasty)" while the GBA version describes it as "deliciously dangerous."
- Wendy O. Koopa was said to have "sung her swan song" rather than her "last song" as in the SNES version.
- After defeating Bowser, when the player returns to the finished save file, the text after the Koopaling's defeat is shortened, only saying that Mario and Luigi have defeated the Koopaling.
- The Top Secret Area has a timer in the Advance remake, whereas there was no time limit here in the SNES version.
- When fighting Bowser, there was no time limit in the SNES version. In the Advance remake, however, the timer stays intact.
- Because of this, the time limit in Bowser's Castle has been extended from 400 to 800
- At the end of the bonus game, Mario and Luigi do their victory pose regardless of whether or not they had won any extra lives in the SNES version. In the GBA version, if Mario(or Luigi) did not win, he would turn his head down in disappointment.
- Bowser's arms were green in the SNES version, while they are the correct orangeish-yellow in the GBA version.
- After Bowser is defeated, the text in the SNES version states that Mario's adventure is over, even if Luigi was the one who beat Bowser. In both cases, the GBA version states that both Mario and Luigi's adventure is over, and the text also refers to the princess by her current name, Peach, whereas the SNES text referred to her as simply "the princess." After the first time Bowser is defeated, whenever the player replays the level and beats Bowser, the text no longer states that Mario, Luigi, and the others are going to take a vacation, only stating Mario and Luigi's adventure is over.
- If Luigi beats Bowser in the SNES version, he would replace Mario in the ending sequence, leading Yoshi, Peach, and the eggs back to Yoshi's house. In the GBA version, Mario is shown leading Yoshi, Peach, and the eggs back during the credits, with Luigi trailing right behind the last egg. At Yoshi's house, both Mario and Luigi are seen arriving, and both do their victory pose after the eggs hatch. The GBA ending is the same regardless of who defeats Bowser.
- As the GBA version is an enhanced port, the credits are a bit different. Some roles are taken by new or different staff members, while some who had assumed those roles in the original have handled other roles. Also, as is the case with most, if not all remakes, the GBA version credits the original SNES game staff under "Special Thanks."
- After the enemies' names are displayed in the SNES version, Mario, Peach, and Luigi stand in front of a black background with the text "THE END" above them, and the player must reset the system. In the GBA version, Mario and Luigi have updated appearances, the text is a different style, and the background is initially white, but then a camera is heard and the image becomes a photo of the three standing on a grass hill. If the player presses a button, the game returns to the title screen.
