Play The New Mario World (v1.1) Online

Game Overview

So, The New Mario World is basically someone’s love letter to the original SNES classic—but with just enough tweaks to make it feel new again. You still get all the good stuff: Yoshi munching on enemies, those satisfying cape spins, and levels that hide secrets in every corner. But now, jumps feel a little snappier, the physics are smoother, and some of the trickier bits have been polished up (no more pixel-perfect leaps over bottomless pits, thank goodness).

First time I booted it up, I went straight for the first ghost house—you know, the one that used to drive you nuts as a kid? Turns out they’ve reworked some of the enemy placements, so it’s still challenging but way less frustrating. And the colors? Everything’s a bit brighter, like someone dusted off an old CRT TV and cranked the contrast just right.

If you’ve played the original to death, this version’s got enough little surprises to make it worth another run. And if you’re new? Well, you’re basically getting the best possible way to experience one of the greatest platformers ever made. Either way, it’s pure, polished Mario magic.
