Super Mario World - Snes collection #25 - Retro Review
We return to one of the great classics of our beloved plumber, which has a great list of excellent games full of great addiction and fun, in this case will be Super Mario World. I still have in my memory those 16-bit graphics of the brain of the beast that showed me with this game, considering that I saw in a fabulous way Super Mario Bros 3 in the Nes, my mouth was open when I saw Mr. Mario in the Super Nintendo, as you know this cartridge came incorporated in the set of the Snes, consequently the vast majority of people (not all) who bought this console could enjoy this game, in my case was the first I could experience the hours of fun were inhuman, when I finished playing the cartridge came out super hot, I consider some of the best games within the large catalog of the Snes.
The visual impact that I left this game was really surprising, considering that it was one of the launching games with Snes, his pixel art is very well designed, the colors he uses at all times are very alive, both Mario, his enemies and all the elements with which they interact are well detailed, honestly this gives a pleasant welcome.
One detail that they used of their predecessor, was the selection of levels, but in this case they improved quite a lot, we could find bifurcated paths in several parts, but what more abounds in all its mapping are the secret zones, which were discovered in several of the levels, this we will detail later, apart from the interaction of the mapping in the levels is great giving a perfect feeling that we are traveling from one island to another.
Each of its levels are very well elaborated, some easy other difficult, details abound everywhere, something very nice is that as we go forward we notice a change in the level ecosystem, example the first levels clearly note that we are in a zone with mountains, then we will pass to levels with puddles of water and lakes, we will enter in caves where everything is clearly seen with rocky characteristics, I really found something very detailed and original.
As we mentioned earlier, the levels contain secret exits which lead to worlds that are not seen with the naked eye, these can be found with keys that are sometimes hidden in specific parts of some level or with secret doors (in the levels of the boo mansion), if we were very wary we could get to one of my favorite secret worlds, the Star Road.

Now playing something very important, its addictive gameplay, Super Mario World implied that with simple control and large interactions with different elements within a game really becomes a total addiction, we had the classic movements of Super Mario Bros 3, no longer we had those classic costumes, now we were flying with a yellow cape, only in this case we could stay flying indefinitely with a certain practice, we had the option to fall and strike a very strong blow against the floor eliminating certain enemies.
But the best thing is the debut of our faithful partner Yoshi, mounted on his back will change the game mode a bit, we can use it to get coins, fireballs through his mouth, spit shells even fly to secret areas that only with him could access, apart from giving you the advantage that, if any enemy touched you, he would run out and be able to reach to be mounted again, this would be like a kind of shield so that we do not lose the power we have at that moment.
The musical essence that transmits this type of games is really fabulous, a very original and funny Soundtrack, each one of his songs kept me totally attached to the TV, an excellent work by Kōji Kondō (one of the most legendary musicians of Nintendo ), their sounds like all Mario game very careful, they leave you totally enchanted playing for many hours.
Super Mario World represents in the history a great stage of 16 bits (along with its competition the great Sonic), to go through its excellent levels really is to take advantage to the maximum hours of fun, in certain parts if we require a little of skill, but this simply is part of the difficulty of the game, also Nintendo as usual to get many versions of this game for different consoles, but the fastest option is to download a simple emulator and ready, if you really did not have the opportunity to experience this excellent game give it a small chance, I guarantee you minimum stay 1 hour playing it good and addictive.

Hola @mayvil =) los clásicos siempre tendrán una fuerte parecencia, con mucha dificultad serán olvidados
me encanta este juego, me hiciste recordar muchas cosas, me considero un fan retrogaming, te invito a pasar por mi fed, también hago este tipo de post. Saludos hermano @gabox
Que tal @carlossoublette me alegro que te gusten los juegos retro, son la esencia de los videojuegos, sin ellos no existiera nada de lo actual.
Great review of a classic title. I try to avoid these because I simply get lost in playing them again while researching the review. lol Too bad more 2D side scrolling action games didn't take some of the cues from Super Mario World and implement them - such as alternate exits, secret areas full of surprises, and the addition of companions such as Yoshi.
Such a great start for the Super Nintendo and a game that really put Sega into a corner because they had NOTHING to compare to this, never really did as far as I remember. I don't count Sonic as competition to Super Mario World because they were totally different games (speed running versus careful exploration).
