Play Super Mario World - EVW Online

Super Mario World came out on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, developed and published by Nintendo. It was one of those games that really showed what the SNES could do, with bright colors and smooth scrolling that felt like a step up from the NES. It arrived early in the system's life and set a high bar for platformers.

You control Mario, or Luigi if you have a second player, running and jumping through levels to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. The main goal is to reach the end of each stage, but exploration is key; you find secret exits that unlock new paths and shortcuts across the map. Two big additions were the cape, which lets you fly after building up speed, and Yoshi, the dinosaur you can ride who eats enemies. The pacing is quick but thoughtful, with hidden blocks and alternate routes rewarding careful play. It feels precise and generous, like the game wants you to succeed but still makes you work for its secrets.
