When the SNES came out for the first time it only had a few games that it launched with. A lot of the time you can't always expect launch games to be that great. As the first game on the system, they tend to not use the system to it's fullest capabilities. You normally need to wait for a later game to come out on the system that really impresses and makes or breaks it. Strangely enough, Nintendo had managed to get it right with one of the first games they ever sent out for the SNES. Some copies of the SNES system even sold with Super Mario World along the console. So what makes this game so popular and such a great launch title? Well, pretty much everything except it's story.

Story: The story is the only thing I found as a major flaw of the game. I'll just go over it now so we can get to the good afterwards. You may ask what the story has to offer. Well, it starts off after the events of Super Mario Brothers 3. After their adventures in the Mushroom World, the Mario brothers had earned a vacation alongside Princess Toadstool. Though this didn't last long, as Bowser soon kidnapped her again. Well this is pretty much as far as the story goes. The Mario brothers go off to save her of course and the game begins from there. The only real change in story is the introduction of Yoshi, a dinosaur who Mario saves after Bowser forces him into an egg. Other than that, there's no story to speak of as you go to beat Bowser. Though it's not much, the story at least tells you what happened and what you need to do. Though you do have to question if Toads make good guards seeing this was the third time Toadstool was kidnapped by the same guy. I give the story a three for having the basics. The basics are all it has though.

Graphics: Well the story was the only thing I found as a mostly negative aspect. Now to start with the good, beginning with the graphics. Every area you go through is definitely a joy to look at. Mostly this is because of the light and colors of each part of the game. You'll rarely be bored by looking at the game, as each area tends to have pretty appealing graphics. The character models also look very good, and some characters have the first appearances of more current models. An example of this would be the Koopas. Each one of them stands like they normally do in the modern games. Bowser and his children are also well modeled. There are also some bonuses for the graphics. Beating the game's special levels will change some things and make some levels look different in color. It'll also change some enemies. One change is the Koopa Troopa gaining a Mario mask instead of a shell. The only really strange thing is the type of Goomba in the game. They don't look at all like the Goombas that appear before or after this game. Though they are said to be a different species, so I suppose it makes sense. The graphics get a nine for the nice sprite work and colorful areas that you'll be going through.

Sound: I can say without a doubt that the sounds in this game are very easy to enjoy. This mostly applies to the music but also can be because of the gameplay noise. Everything has it's own little sound when done, such as flying with Mario's cape, to the satisfying sound of tossing a Koopa shell around. But while the main gameplay noise is at least satisfying, the music is absolutely great. I don't think there are any pieces of music in the game that I actually found annoying. Most of them I found were nice to listen to and helped set the atmosphere. The themes for most caves are a good example. The deep tones of the song helps set the tone of going through a large cave. One of my favorite pieces of music in this game is the music that plays against Bowser. It's pretty serious and helps keep you pumped for the battle. Contrasting this is the game's main theme song. It's a lighthearted and upbeat theme that many gamers can instantly recognize when it's played to them. The sound gets a nine overall like the graphics did. The sounds made during actions are diverse and the music is normally amazing throughout the game.

Addictiveness: Super Mario world is probably one of the most addictive games I have ever played. Adding into this are the simple controls that make the game easy to pick up and play. Mario can jump, run, spin jump, and throw items naturally. Everything else is done through power ups or other items. This makes the game very simple at first glance. Though the simple controls definitely make it a game you can always come back to. You don't need to worry about not knowing the controls for the game. You just can enjoy it whenever you want. The well made level design also adds into the addictiveness. Each level tends to be enjoyable enough that you don't mind playing through it. I even have fun during the water levels while I'm playing. With each level being enjoyable to play, you'll definitely want a large amount of replays, mostly because there won't be that one horrible level that you decide not to play Super Mario World because of. The addictiveness gets a ten for being a game you can always pick up and play because of the simple controls.

Depth: Going into the depth of Super Mario World can be very tricky at first. When you start the game up, it seems pretty simple. You have to actually look through the game to see how much it will really offer you while you play it. One thing that you might notice early on is the switch palaces. Many worlds have a hidden palace as part of them that will activate blocks through the levels. These blocks show up transparent normally, and only beating the switch palace will allow them to be used. The first switch palace is easy to find, but the rest don't even seem to exist at first. You might question how you find the rest, and the answer is simple. You look to the other major addition of Super Mario world, alternate pathways found through keyholes. A lot of the game's levels seem to only have one exit, but if you find a key inside them, there will also be a keyhole to go along with it. When you put the key in the hole, you beat the level early and even go somewhere else than you would have from the normal way. These keyholes aren't the only special thing you can find. The Star Road is a hidden area that you need to use the key holes to find. Each area of the Star Road warps you to somewhere else in the game. Even better, there is a secret in Star Road involving a keyhole. Going through it opens the games special levels. The depth gets a nine for it's large amount of extra contest such as the keyholes, Star Road, and special worlds that will keep you playing far past the standard game if you want to try and find everything.

Difficulty: Super Mario World's difficulty can easily vary depending on the part of it you're playing. The main levels won't be too difficult and can be beaten by many players, even if they're not great at platformer games. There will be some challenges along the way, but most players will probably be able to go through the main set of levels without too much trouble except for maybe a few exceptions, such as the haunted ship where you have to swim past Boos that appear in front of you. The difficulty does get a pick up though if you try to beat every level in the game. The hidden special levels will make you grit your teeth and might even lead to some rage quits during the play of them. While these levels will definitely make you angry if you're not prepared, they are also a very nice challenge for those who think the normal levels are too easy, and should definitely be found and tried if you think you can get through them. In all, I give the difficulty of Super Mario World a six. The normal levels of the game range from easy to decently challenging and even pretty tough in some spots. The real difficulty comes in the form of the special world that still tends to give me trouble every time I try to play through it.

Final Thoughts: Super Mario World is one of the great games that most people tend to think of when they remember playing the SNES. The gameplay is fun and the graphics and sound are both enjoyable and help you get into the game. It is also very addictive and easy to come back to multiple times. There's a lot to do, including beating every level and trying to open up the entire map while finding the Star Roads and switch palaces for the areas. The difficulty is just where it should be most of the game. When you play through the normal game, you'll have a fun experience with some challenges on the way. The bonus levels really ramp up the challenge though if you feel you need tested. The only part of the game that's not impressive is the story, which tends to follow the same Bowser kidnaps the princess plot that most Mario games have. This shouldn't stop you from playing it though. People still play Super Mario World to this day and it has a large amount of hacks on Vizzed. That should really show you how well loved this game is even today.
