''Super Mario World'' takes place on [[Dinosaur Land]], an archipelago of themed areas, and players navigate on this world map, which visualizes traveling through the island. Unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the levels on the world map are marked directly on Dinosaur Land, creating a seamless, organic appearance between worlds and levels. Players first start out on Yoshi's Island at [[Yoshi's House]], where the path immediately branches off into two levels. The order of the world themes is unique to this title: Players first start in grassy plain-like worlds while eventually venturing into a cave, onto twin bridges, into a forest, onto a rocky island, and finally into the [[Valley of Bowser]], which takes on a subterranean wasteland appearance. Haunted [[Ghost House]]s are introduced in ''Super Mario World'' and populate Dinosaur Land; unlike traditional level layouts, they tend to contain puzzles and traps designed to confuse the player. Cave levels and levels that primarily take place underwater or where water is prevalent are additionally marked such on the map, with most cave levels outside the [[Vanilla Dome]] and the Valley of Bowser featuring rocks around them, while Mario gets submerged in water for the water levels. | ''Super Mario World'' takes place on [[Dinosaur Land]], an archipelago of themed areas, and players navigate on this world map, which visualizes traveling through the island.

''Super Mario World'' contains nine worlds and 73 (74 if the [[Back Door]] and [[Front Door]] are counted as separate levels, and 76 if the [[Top Secret Area]] and Yoshi's House are counted as levels) levels in total, 24 of which have secret exits for a total of 96 exits. Almost all worlds contain four regular levels and at least one secret level. Levels marked in yellow contain one exit, while levels marked in red contain an alternative, secret exit. Other points of interest include the [[Switch Palace]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and the [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|star-shaped portals]] to [[Star World]] that are unlocked only when players find the associated secret exit. Switch Palaces activate respectively colored permeable [[Dotted-Line Block|Dotted Line Block]]s and turn them into solid [[! Block|Exclamation Mark Block]]s that can be stood on or hit from below. Once Switch Palace levels have been completed, they cannot be visited again. Warp Pipes warp players to different areas of the map, usually to different worlds altogether. Finally, Yoshis cannot be taken into castles, fortresses, or Ghost Houses, though Yoshi remains outside for the player if they exit the level. In castles, players have to defeat the Koopalings, while in fortresses, players need to defeat [[Reznor]]s. | ''Super Mario World'' contains nine worlds and 73 (74 if the [[Back Door]] and [[Front Door]] are counted as separate levels, and 76 if the [[Top Secret Area]] and Yoshi's House are counted as levels) levels in total, 24 of which have secret exits for a total of 96 exits.
