(i have copy/pasted this from my previous review because it messed up, i have permission to do so)

I love this game, I used to have it on Nintendo so I was pretty happy when I found it on vizzed. True to the original Mario style its composed of levels, with each level area ending in a boss and a somewhat cheesy but amusing cut scene.

You can get power ups in the form of the flight cape, the fire flower and the growth mushroom which can all allow you to finish the level in a different way. You can also find yoshi in some levels, which is always useful. He can eat most of the enemies so if you get him it becomes significantly easier. A classic game and lots of fun, well worth a play.


Graphics wise its actually pretty decent. I mean, ok, it's only got one dimension, and the backdrop is essentially a repeating picture but its an old game. And I've never experienced any graphical glitches either so consistency is high here.

Addictiveness is high too, the only reason I stopped playing is I have no clue how to advance now =(

Story and depth, I'm really not sure wheat's going on. You battle through a few levels and then reach a boss. After an epic battle that usually consists of jumping on them (what the?) you get the little cut scene of Mario running into the castle, carrying out an egg, then destroying the castle in a random manner. So fairly repetitive story but hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it I guess.

The sounds not bad, you actually get different tracks based on the level/location which s kinda cool. You also get a fairly annoying sound every time you jump, use a pipe, jump on something, eat an enemy with yoshi etc but its kinda funny so that's good too.

Classic game, great fun, lots to do, play it, you wont regret it I'm sure.

I love this game. I think that it is one of the best if not the best mario game that has ever been made. I wish that they made more like this one. As I said it is one of the best.

billythekidmonster : its one of the first mario games i played, maybe even the first =)
i could have nothing but fond memorys.it is so good though, especially considering when it was made.even by todays standards, i think its pretty good.

I don't think there is a single person who has owned an SNES and not at least played this game. It is just one you have to play, and it was a great way to introduce the SNES.

rcarter2 : it was one of the first snes games?i didnt actually know that.
ya, if youve played snes youre almost obligated to play this.

Yeah. For a long time, Super Mario World was the game that was in the SNES box as your first game if you purchased it bran new.

Ah SMW is one of the greatest classics known to man. I always love to play it any time, its that addicting
