Super Mario World: Difference between revisions

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 teammates ported ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to the console, and it felt like the same game to them despite the enhanced graphics, so the teammates wanted to create something new for the console (though ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' itself would later be ported and remade for the SNES as one of the featured games in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''). 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 SNES 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.

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 game of the ''Super Mario'' franchise.<ref>[https://www.engadget.com/2010/11/09/super-mario-world-is-miyamotos-favorite-mario-game ''Super Mario World'' is Miyamoto's favorite ''Super 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 ''Super Mario'' Game], retrieved 6/22/2018</ref>
