Gameplay: 9.5/10
The levels in this game are brilliantly done by Nintendo. Fun platforming, cool enemies, and just above all else, amazing level design. Those of you that have played a Mario game know what I'm talking about. It's the heart and soul of every Mario game; the reason every Mario game is praised so highly. Every level is done very nicely. As usual with Nintendo, brilliant stuff here.
Back when the Super Nintendo was king, Videogames were marketed more towards people ages 15 and under, so with this, the challenge of the game isn't hard. For the most part, you can just fly through these levels but there's the occasional tricky one. One thing Nintendo should do is add a difficulty setting to their games. It pains me to play such great games, but be challenged so little with them all.
At the time of this games release, games were anywhere from 5-10 hours in length, with the RPGs going 25+ hours. You can get through this one in easily under 10 hours, and possible in 5 hours on your first time. With each time you play throug it, it becomes quicker.
I would complain about the length, but for the time it came out, it was your average length. Plus the replay value is good. The levels, as I said, are brilliant, so you want to play through them more than once, and Mario=Fun, so you will want to play through this game atleast a couple times. All in all, the length disappoints for the time it is now(2003), but it's still good, and was normal for it's time.
I took off the .5 because the difficulty setting is too easy for a lot of people. These are Nintendo games, so people don't complain because they're amazing, but you have to admit, a more challenging Mario game would be a lot of fun.
Replay Value: 8.7
I touched on this already. Nintendo games are amazing, so you'll want to play through this one atleast twice. Can't complain in this department, but extras would have helped.
Music: 9.4
Nice stuff here. Easily one of Nintendo's best soundtracks. Cheery tunes in the normal levels, darker tunes for the castles, and Ghost levels. Very nice intro for the game as well. Just great stuff through out the whole game; not a bad song anywhere.
Graphics: 9.8/10
WOW. This is the Super Nintendo at it's best. Mario looks great, and the levels are bursting with color. The castles with lava look especially great. Vibrant, beautiful colors. Still very pleasing on the eyes to this day.
Overall:(Not an average) 9.6/10
Considered by many the best Mario game of all time, and rightfully so. From brilliant levels to great music and graphics. Nintendo went all out on this one.
(...) I beat the game, like 20 times, but I still play it. (...) Super Mario World is so fun, you'd probably get addicted to it if you bought it. And you should buy it, because, trust me, it's worth it. (...) It's so colorful, and neat. Some things in it are humorous, like the koopas disguising themselves as Mario. Also, how cute Yoshi is. You don't even have to be a certain age to play. It's easy to learn how to operate the controls. You should try it, if you ever got the chance. Because this is truly a great game!
A brilliant start for the SNES as in 1990 in Japan as they released the Super-Famicom (Japanese Nintendo System), Nintendo wowed players back then in that country and it became the highest acclaimed game in the series back then since SMB 3. It spawned hype here in the US earlier in Nintendo Power and many other game magazines even about the shiny new Super Nintendo entertainment system and it's launch title "Super Mario World". On August 13th 1991, the SNES premiered with the game that went with out and fans were originally worried if it will live up to be a masterpiece like "Super Mario Brothers 3" and if it was a masterpiece they got, it's a masterpiece they finally got.
It's the best looking game in the series at the time with it's highly advanced graphics and sounds as it was an evolutionary stepforward to the saga. While not offering many new elements as the previous game, this one does offer a feather that can make Mario a caped superhero where he can fly like his Raccoon counterpart in part 3 to performing a bellydive and spin around, he can ride his allies known as Yoshi where it can devour enemies and this is the first game where Mario uses his spin jump. Like SMB 3, this one brings back the map system and Mario could backtrack and re-enter levels. The game has brilliant 2D colorful visuals that still holds up as it has a work of charm to it including amazing special effects that impressed the hell out of gamers including myself when i got this game with the system for christmas back in 91 when i was 10. It was nothing like gamers here in the US has ever seen before from rotating boss battles to all the way to the climax of the Banzai that Bowser rode.
It's easily as awesome as SMB 3 and another time-tested classic that is always a treat to replay as it's one of my fave games ever.
