The game was produced by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], featuring music composed by [[Koji Kondo]] and graphics designed by [[Shigefumi Hino]], and it was the first game designed for the SNES. As an experiment, the team ported ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to the console, and it felt like the same game to them despite the enhanced graphics, so they wanted to create something new for the console. Miyamoto has stated that ever since they finished ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the design staff wanted to have Mario ride a horse. It was believed to be impossible technically until the Super NES was developed, and it was changed to a dinosaur due to the team working with a dinosaur land.<ref>Takashi Tezuka, Shigefumi Hino and Hisashi Nogami.

According to Miyamoto, sixteen people were involved in the creation of the game, and it took about three years to make.<ref>Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide, p. 32.</ref>

At some point during the game's development, it was meant to be released in North America and Europe under the full ''Super Mario Bros. 4'' title, but it was later shortened to simply ''Super Mario World''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0MbGdkbeEU This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the typo'd "Super Mario Bros." subtitle.], retrieved 8/11/2011</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTzyz2TgGls This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the "''Super Mario Bros. 4''" subtitle.], retrieved 8/11/2011</ref> Miyamoto has stated that this is his favorite ''Mario'' game.<ref>[https://www.engadget.com/2010/11/09/super-mario-world-is-miyamotos-favorite-mario-game Super Mario World is Miyamoto's favorite Mario game], retrieved 6/22/2018</ref><ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/15/this-is-shigeru-miyamotos-favorite-mario-game This is Shigeru Miyamoto's Favorite Mario Game], retrieved 6/22/2018</ref>

Alex Navarro of GameSpot scored the game an 8.5 out of 10 in his review for the [[Virtual Console]] version of the game on the [[Wii]], recommended players to play the game if they have not already.<ref>Navarro, Alex. (February 6, 2007). [https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-mario-world-review/1900-6165471/ Super Mario World Review]. ''GameSpot''. Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> He has praised the game as a "well-crafted adventure", stating that nothing in the game feels "superfluous", and that while he pointed out that it was rather short for modern game standards, the secrets are easy to overlook on a first playthrough of the game. He has praised the graphics, describing them as "colorful" and "cute" and stands out as one of the best-looking games of the system, saying that the visuals still hold to the modern era; he has praised that the game's music is some of the best the ''Mario'' series has ever seen, calling the tunes "supercatchy". The only bad listed in the review of the game is the distinct lack of [[Kuribo's Shoe]]. Lucas M. Thomas of IGN also scored the game an 8.5 out of 10 for the Virtual Console version of the game,<ref>Thomas, Lucas M. (February 5, 2007). [https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/02/06/super-mario-world-vc-review Super Mario World VC Review.] ''IGN''. Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> noting the game's successful history and how the game still feels good to play today despite the age. However, Thomas felt that ''Super Mario World'' does feel lacking, and he pointed out how Miyamoto felt he could have done more to the game to distinguish it from being a graphically-upgraded continuation of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and that during the time, Nintendo's competitor, [[Sega]], took advantage of it and introduced ''[[sonicretro:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.

Jamie O' Neill of Nintendo Life gave the game a 10/10, writing about the game's legacy and history when it was first released and that the game is still playable today; he has written that while many games can be considered "classics", only a few can be considered "masterpieces" which O' Neill has referred to as.<ref>O' Neill. (September 21, 2019). [https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/snes/super_mario_world Super Mario World Review.] ''Nintendo Life''. Retrieved September 19, 2020.</ref> He has stated that while the game isn't the flashiest showcase of the SNES's graphical effects, but has praised the game's bright and colorful aesthetics. He has praised Koji Kondo's efforts on the soundtrack, where the themes are diverse and they carry on various moods, such as the atmospheric Ghost Houses and the energized credits tune that settles into a "beautiful melancholy" when the characters reach Yoshi's House to conclude their adventure. He has called the game's controls "perfect" and that the game's meticulous secrets lend it a long-lasting appeal. O' Neill has then mentioned that the game scored number 2 on Nintendo Life's 20 debut SNES games from the [[Nintendo Switch Online]].

|align="left"|"''Super Mario World could be argued to take the crown for greatest 2D Mario platformer, and as such earns almost immediate recommendation for download to your Wii. The recommendation is tentatively withheld, however, pending examination of your history of ownership with the game, its ported Game Boy Advance iteration, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, has become one of the best-selling games of all time on Nintendo's handheld systems since its release five years ago. The portable package is perfectly playable, meaning you should save your Points if you're one of the millions of gamers to own it there, in cartridge form. Otherwise, download away. Especially you, stalwart Sonic supporters; the white flag is waving, the war now at an end. Come experience Mario's adventures, and the debut of his dinosaur friend.''"

The ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''{{'}}s first six volumes are all based off ''Super Mario World'', kick-starting the series and being the game with the most arcs associated with it. While the first four arcs follow the games closely, with each arc having the characters travel through the game's locations, the fifth and sixth arcs have their own storylines which feature content from other ''Mario'' titles released at the time such as [[Yoshi (game)|''Yoshi'']] and ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.
