I bought this game from my local Gamers a few days ago, and while I have been spending more time on Super Mario 3 (from the SNES cartridge) I have spent a couple of days, off and on, playing Super Mario World.
It's a good game, all in all, with nicely done worlds (unlike Lost Levels) and well animated sprites. It has had some further advances made to it since Super Mario 3, such as a save point half way through each level, and more easy-to-beat levels. This can be a good thing, but I see it as a bad thing.
This game, in my book, is wayyyy to easy. For instance, if you get through a level, you get a 1-UP. If you kill a certain number of enemies you get a 1-UP. (This is very easy to do, and the chance comes along at least once or twice a level). If you save you get a 1-UP. There are little boxes, specially marked with a "!" that, if you hit, you get a Mushroom, a Fire Flower, a Leaf, or, you guessed it, a 1-UP!!
So, all in all, you get a chance to get a 1-UP at least three or four times a level. Which is way to easy.
Plus, the levels are designed so you can beat them in about a minute. There's no real challenge to the game. No real puzzles.
And, each level, you get a Yoshi. For those who are not experienced in the Mario Universe, a Yoshi is this dinosaur that you can ride around, and who will eat your enemies. So the entire game really ends up as you getting a pat on the back at every opportunity, and a dinosaur doing all your work for you. i played up till the second level, and I only died TWICE. Do you know how many times you usually die on SMB 3? At least ten times on a normal level. I beat the first level in 20 minutes and I wasn't trying. Case in point, extremely easy.
All you really do is hold a button in the direction you want to go, and press another button when you need to.
As with the music, it all seems to cheerful. When you die, it plays this sympathy music. Even when you enter the Boo Castles it only plays slightly scary music.
I give it a 3/5 for overall because it's gotta' get better. And a 3/5 for fun because of it's nice level design.
So if you scare easily, or like good graphics (which, I for one care not for, as I fall in with the more "retro" class), then you should get this.
But if you like a challenge and a more "adult" (I hate to use that, I sound patronizing, although it's true; this is a softer game), then go for Super Mario Bros. 3.

When it comes to 2D video games, few games come close to the greatness of Super Mario World. The only 3 games that come close are Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Kirby Super Star Ultra, and New Super Mario Bros.. The graphics and sound are great for this game's time. There are plenty of Power-ups, Yoshi makes his debut, Gameplay is unbelievably fun, but the best part is the level design. A set of diverse levels, some of which actually make one power-up seem more useful than another. This game's level design is unsurpassed. The first 3 Super Mario Bros. games combined couldn't come close to matching this game's quality. Many think that Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best, but I think it is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING compared to Mario World, the near-perfect game. This is the one and only, undisputed #1 2D game of all time in my eyes. I rate this game 99.5/100.
