THE GOOD:
Excellent jump from 8-bit to 16-bit, Yoshi's first impression is one hell of an impression, simple yet effectively excellent gameplay, 2-player mode so people can take it in turns to see who finishes the game first, controls are very responsive and are easy to remember, graphics look excellent for the time (actually they still look excellent today), soundtrack was memorable and always fun to listen to mainly because it suited the levels, sound effects are simple but they work with what they're given, makes well-down attempts to be challenging at times and finally incorporates a save system!

THE BAD:
Difficulty level makes this game feel a bit too generous at times, as well as making boss battles shorter and easier than they should be.

SUMMARY:
Released by Nintendo in 1990 in Japan as Super Mario Brothers 4 and everywhere else in 91-92 as Super Mario World, this game was, much like Super Mario Brothers, a launch game which was often...

THE GOOD:
Another awesome adventure with Mario, in which you have to save Princess Peach...again...

Ride through the game with a great companion: Yoshi. He will become an invaluable part of your team.

Plenty of levels to get through, including secret levels, which means you will be entertained for quite a while.

The controls are simple so that any person can instantly pick up the controller and play.

The replay value is awesome. You can play through this game again and again without getting bored.

THE BAD:
I didn't find anything completely bad with the game, though it is a bit easy.

SUMMARY:
Intro

Welcome to my review of Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System!

In this game, you play as Mario as he gets through many worlds to get back Princess Peach, who was kidnapped by, you guessed it, Bowser. As you start...

THE GOOD:
First appearance of Yoshi.

You get to ride on Yoshi

Great levels

Secret levels

Power-ups (Like the Cape or Fire Flower)

THE BAD:
A few levels (like the Ghost levels for example) can be frusturating.

SUMMARY:
Difficulty: Medium

This is one of the best games on the SNES. This game could possible be called "Super Mario Brothers 4" since it had the same gameplay and everything than the other 3. This game has lots of fun levels (My favoriter levels are the Yoshi Island levels and the Star World levels) and it has quite a few secret levels too. I like the fact that you can indicate a secret level and search through all of that level to find it.

If you are a Mario fan or a fan of platformers then this game is a must have. But today this game might be hard to find.

I rate this game a 4.4/5

THE GOOD:
So much to do including all the secrets.

THE BAD:
Nothing bad about this game, it's that much fun.

SUMMARY:
Super Mario World is my favourite Mario game at the moment and i loved it from the moment i started playing it. There is just so much to do and you play along with Mario and you can get Yoshi too throughout certain parts of the game. There is also a multi-player mode where player 2 is Luigi and you take turns going through the various levels. The game itself is really long and takes a while to do and there are so many secrets to do, took me about a year to get 100% the first time around. It may be old but the graphics are still really good. The music to the game is really good and changes throughout the levels.

Overall this is my all time favourite Mario game, better than Mario Kart.

THE GOOD:
It's a Mario game

It has the Koopalings in it, and the Koopalings rock, and everyone knows it. Come on. Don't deny the fact that the Koopalings rock, or I'll have to smack you.

You can ride Yoshi, and that's fun to do! IT'S FUN! ADMIT IT!

Creative, fun levels

Good graphics

Cool power-ups

Bonus stages

THE BAD:
Um...........

SUMMARY:
Definitely a classic Mario game, even to this day. It's just plain fun. Not THE BEST Mario game, but one of the best, no question. And the fact that it has the Koopalings in it, only adds to the coolness that this game already has. Speaking of which, we need to see the Koopalings in more games, don't we? Yes. We do. Anyway, to put it simply: JUST PLAIN FUN TO PLAY! LOTS OF FUN! LOTS OF FUN! LOTS OF FUN! LOTS OF FUN! LOTS OF FUN!

THE GOOD:
This game could be easily considered the greatest ever and I'll tell you why.

The Worlds. The Worlds were great in this game and the awesome part about it was that there were so many. There were about 9 worlds and they were pretty difficult.

The music. Another game with classic mario music. Like how can you possibly get bored of mario music? yet again, the music was great and it just reflected at the game as well.

Difficulty. This game wasn't easy and that is why I call this game the greatest mario game ever. It took me at least 1 month to beat this game fully and that's a while for a mario game. I never recall playing a mario game where it took me that long to beat it.

The whole game overall was amazing and there were no flaws whatsoever. I still play this game as of this day and I haven't found anything wrong with it.

THE BAD:
Absolutely nothing. This is the best mario game ever and there was nothing whatsoever wrong...

THE GOOD:
This game has many great levels, and never gets boring. This is an original. All of the worlds are interesting, and it's not a cheap game where you will complete it in an hour or two.

THE BAD:
Game not in 3-D. It is old, and is on an out-of-date gaming system.

SUMMARY:
This game was the 1st video game I played, and is still the best. The levels are very intersting and never get boring. They are all fun, and most of them are challenging. I do not believe they still make this game for the SNES, but they do now make it for Nintendo Gameboy Advance. I give it *****. Great game. Definately a must-buy. Some people say this game is slow, or boring, out-of-date, or even small and lame. I think these are false. I actually think you have to be pretty good at video games to play this game. It is challenging, and, as I already said before, is CHALLENGING. As of out-of-date, yeah, it may be old, but it is golden. It's an original. A classic....
