Surely you remember? That magical moment when you first flipped the switch of your SNES to reveal the lush color of Dinosaur World? The first time you saw <i>Super Mario World</i>, a game that would become one of the greatest games ever made.
Bowser has kidnapped the princess while on vacation with Mario and Luigi to exotic Dinosaur Island. Not too long after they begin their journey, they find a friendly dinosaur named Yoshi trapped in an egg. Henceforth, Yoshi would become an invaluable ally, while Mario was riding Yoshi he could swallow turtle shells. Red shells would cause Yoshi to spit fireballs, Yellow shells made him hit the ground and raise dust clouds when he jumped, and blue shells made him sprout wings. A very versatile dinosaur, Yoshi made Marios success possible.
This game, for it's time, is quite large. From the rolling Donut Plains, to the dark and dreary Vanilla Dome. From Cookie Mountain, to the insanely difficult SPECIAL stages, which made you think if you wanted to win.
In <i>Super Mario World</i>, there are seven castles, each inhabited by one of Bowsers seven villanous children (Bowser must be a ladies koopa). You must defeat each of Bowsers children to retrieve a trapped Yoshi egg, and you can then move on to the next level. Along the way you may find doorways ot the useful Star Road, capable of transporting you anywhere in Dinosaur World in mere seconds. Not only are there castles, but also Fortresses and Ghost Houses.
<i>Super Mario World</i> remains one of the best games ever, boasting a lot of great features. Since the Super Ninteno has fallen out of play since the advent of N64, GameCube, and Playstation 1 & 2, this classic game gathers dust on many shelves, but then came the Game Boy Advance! Yuo can once again play this game, and better yet, take it with you wherever you may go!
I rate it a 9.3!
