Gameplay - 8.5/10
This is a typical side-scrolling
adventure game. You use items such as Mushrooms, Feathers and Capes to
make you more powerful. You collect coins to gain lives and can ride Yoshi.
Super Mario Bros. has been added to this game and it is the same as the
original.
Graphics - 7.5/10
The graphics have been cleaned up
quite a bit from the original. They have not done any spectactular new
effects, but it still looks very good.
Replay Value - 8/10
Super Mario World is a fun and exciting
game. It is enjoyable time after time. You will discover hidden paths that
you originally did not notice, and will find interesting and new approaches
to defeating enemies.
Sound - 8/10
The music of this game is wonderful,
although it does become somewhat annoying after a long time. The sound
effects of this game are also very good, and the general sound quality
is good as well.
Story - 7/10
The story of Super Mario World is
simple, and fun. Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach have come to Dinosaur
Land for a vacation. While Mario and Luigi are goofing off, the Princess
dissapears. They find Yoshi and he says that Bowser has captured his friends
as well. You then set out on a quest to kill Koopas, rescue Yoshi's friends
and save the Princess.
Overall - 8/10
Super Mario World is a great game
to have, especially if you enjoyed the original. I suggest that you rent
this game, and see if you like it before you buy it. You should enjoy this
game very much, and with 96 levels, it will keep you playing for a long
time.
