[[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.<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 as ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4'' or ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros.'', but it was later shortened to ''Super Mario World''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0MbGdkbeEU This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the "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.

;From the instruction booklet

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.<br>

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.<br>

===Secret bonus changes===

*'''World map''': The colors of the map become fall-themed, like grass and the trees of Forest of Illusion turning orange.

*'''Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas''': Transform into [[Mask Koopa]]s and [[Para Mask Koopa]]s, respectively.

*'''[[Beanstalk]]s''': Heads will turn into pumpkins.

*'''Bullet Bills''': Replaced with [[Pidgit Bill]]s.

In the GBA remake, the color of the Yoshi that will hatch depends from the power up the player has:

*[[Fuzzy]]

*[[Gold Bowser Statue]]

*[[Gray Bowser Statue]]

*[[Grinder (obstacle)|Grinder]]

*[[Spiny Egg]]

*[[Sumo Bro.]]

*[[Swooper]]

*[[Thwimp]]

*[[Donut Plains 2]] has an added [[Exclamation Mark Block|! block]] after the three [[? Block]]s near the beginning of the level. Similarly, [[Vanilla Dome 1]] has an extra [[Cape Feather]] hidden in the structure of [[Rotating Block]]s found early in the level.

*The secret exit to [[Chocolate Island 3]] was made more conspicuous through the use of two additional arrow signs, rather than the lone sign found in the Japanese version.

*[[Lemmy's Castle]] has a time limit of 400 seconds instead of 300 seconds. [[Funky (Super Mario World)|Funky]] also provided the players more time in the international versions of the game via the presence of nine green [[Berry|berries]] instead of the original three in the Japanese version; as having Yoshi eat green berries adds 20 seconds to the timer, this meant the international players could accumulate triple the extra time than in the Japanese version of the game.

*The original [[wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]] "YOU ARE SUPER PLAYER!!" message at the end of Funky was corrected to "YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!!". As the message was spelled in coins, this also meant more points could be collected in this final level in the international version.

}}

*All instances of Japanese names occurring in-game were changed to English.

**The sign at [[Yoshi's House]] was changed from katakana (Japanese script) to the English alphabet.

**In the Japanese version, all level names were followed by 「コースｘ」, "Course X", but in the international version, the names were simply numbered (i.e. 「ヨースターとう　コース１」, "''Yōsutā tō Cōsu 1''", changes to "[[Yoshi's Island 1]]", instead of "Yoshi's Island Course 1").

**[[Cheese Bridge Area]], [[Cookie Mountain]], [[Forest Secret Area]], and [[Chocolate Island Secret]]'s Japanese names were all followed by 「コース１」, "Course 1", but as there were no additional levels sharing these names, the numerical designation was dropped for the international versions.

*While various enemies change after the game is changed to the fall setting, in the credits, the new enemies are shown but labeled as the old enemies in the Japanese version; this was then noticed and corrected for the international release.

*Like the enemy names, the staff credits were also written in romaji in the Japanese version, but various small changes were still made:<ref name="TCRF"/>

*''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' - Lakitu is near identical in appearance in this game and many tracks in this game are based on levels here.

*''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'' - Many sounds and graphics from here appear in this game.

*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' - This game is a prequel to ''Super Mario World'', though the stories are practically unrelated in sharing some settings and uses Yoshi as the main character, although there are nine Yoshis (or ten in the Game Boy Advance remake) for each stage for each zone.

*''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' - The Star Road found here is destroyed by Exor and it is revealed that [[Geno]] is from here. Yoshi's Island also returns as Yo'ster Isle, and a rendition of the overworld music from this game plays upon first meeting Gaz. Also, the overworld theme music can be heard while singing a [[List of characters|character]] to sleep.

*''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' - [[Reznor]]s returns in this game, as well as the cover of the battle theme. Also, the chime that can be heard while the game loads sometimes plays a small part of the ''Super Mario World'' overworld theme and in World 4, ''Super Mario World's'' snow level background is reused.   

*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' - This game seems to be based off ''Super Mario World'', with similar backgrounds and level styles. [[Baby Yoshi]]s reappear as well. It also uses a single, continuous world map, similar to this game.

==Critical reception==

''Super Mario World'' was bundled with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System making it the most sold game for SNES, selling 20 million copies.

==Beta elements==

==={{conjecturaltext|Miscolored Overworld}}===

In order to do this glitch, the player must go to the end of [[Chocolate Island 3]]. Under the goal, the player must jump off Yoshi to the Giant Gate so that the screen does not scroll up. If done correctly, Mario is barely seen when he finishes the level, and because Mario is not present on the bottom of the screen, the screen begins to flicker in many colors as the stage begins to fade out. When he comes back to the overworld map, the entire world is glitchy and colored with red and blue. If Mario visits Forest of Illusion or Valley of Bowser and comes back to the main overworld, the entire world will be ivory colored instead. The glitch ends if the player completes a level or visits Star Road.

==Trivia==

*None of the [[Koopalings]]' sprites are the correct color of their game artwork; the one that comes closest to being colored correctly is [[Larry Koopa|Larry]]. All of their in-game colors are the colors of the [[Koopa Troopa]]s of ''Super Mario World'', with the colors going from yellow, to blue, to red, to green, from oldest Koopaling to youngest.

*This is the first game where Koopa Troopas and Paratroopas stand on two legs instead of four and wear shoes.

*If the player loses a life by running out of [[Time Limit|time]], "''Time'' Up!" will be written on the screen instead of "''Time's'' Up!".

*This game marks the first time Fire Luigi has a different colorization than Fire Mario.

*There was an anime video based on this game called '''[[Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi's Adventure Land]]''' (スーパーマリオワールド マリオとヨッシーの冒険ランド).<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rum5ZrOeUiQ</ref> It was actually sort of a game itself, as it was an interactive VHS tape designed for the Bandai Terebikko system,  which had young players talk through a telephone-like device to interact with the movie. It would ask the viewer questions, such as what they thought would hatch from Yoshi's egg, and gave them multiple choices.

*This is the only game in the main Super Mario series that Toad does not appear in.
