Super Mario World

Super Mario World is the sequel to the hit classic Super Mario Bros. 3. It features gameplay simular to the formula used in the previous games, though adds new twists such as the addition of Yoshi. Since it is the first Mario game to be released on the SNES, it takes full advantage of it's abilities graphics and sound wise. The game was released on the launch of the Super Famicom in 1990, and was the first game in the series to be directed by Takashi Tezuka, with the previous director, Shigeru Miyamoto, producing the game.

Gameplay
The gameplay consists of many of the techniques that Mario and Luigi learned in past games such as Super Mario Bros. Such as the running very fast to get higher when you jump, or running over gaps, and so on. Once Mario gets a super Mushroom, he will become bigger, and much stronger. Once he gets a fire flower, he will be able to shoot fire balls from out of his hand, and will be just as strong as he was when he had a Super Mushroom. If he finds a cape, he will be able to fly in skies, which will let him find new sections and exits. When you find a Yoshi, you will be able to eat enemies, and kill many enemies that usually take multiple hits with just one.

Plot
Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool set out on a vacation on Dinosaur Island. However, during their vacation, Princess Toadstool was kidnapped! In order to save her, Mario and Luigi have to go through seven worlds and defeat the Koopa Kids in order to defeat Bowser and save her. The character gallery from earlier Mario games is notably expanded with the addition of Mario's dinosaur friend Yoshi, as well as a few minor characters.
