Super Mario World is the first game made for the
Super Famicom for its
Japanese release, and the
Super Nintendo for its release in
North America and
Europe.
It also features the first appearance of
Mario's Dinosaur Friend
Yoshi. Mario,
Luigi, and Yoshi have to save
Princess Peach Toadstool and Yoshi's friends from
King Bowser Koopa and his Koopalings. The gameplay action is
sidescrolling as in previous Mario games, but adds some two-dimensional
scrolling and takes advantage of the Super Nintendo's 16-bit graphics and
stereo audio. The game consists of a journey through levels in seven
worlds: Yoshi's Island, Donut Plains, Vanilla Dome, Cookie Mountain,
Forest of Illusion, Chocolate Island, and the Valley of Bowser. There are
also two secret worlds, the Star Road and Special Zone which can be
accessed by completing secondary goals in specific levels.
The music was composed by
Koji Kondo.
