Play Mario World Super Online

Super Mario World came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the early 1990s, developed and published by Nintendo. It was one of the games that defined what the SNES could do, building on the side scrolling platforming of its predecessors on the NES.

You control Mario, or Luigi for a second player, running and jumping through levels to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. The main goal is to traverse the overworld map, choosing paths to complete stages and find keys to unlock new areas. Signature mechanics include the cape feather, which lets you fly and glide, and Yoshi, the dinosaur you can ride to eat enemies and projectiles. The game encourages exploration with its many secret exits and hidden paths that lead to alternative routes. The pacing is generally smooth, though some of the later castles and special stages present a real challenge. It feels responsive and inventive, with a sense of discovery waiting in nearly every level.
