[[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated that ever since they finished ''Super Mario Bros.'', the design staff wanted to have Mario ride a dinosaur. It was believed to be impossible technically until the Super NES was developed. According to Miyamoto, sixteen people were involved in the creation of the game, and it took about three years to make.<ref>Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide, p. 32.</ref> At some point during the game's development, it was meant to be released in North America and Europe as ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4'' or ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros.'', but it was later shortened to ''Super Mario World''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0MbGdkbeEU This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the "Super Mario Bros." subtitle.], retrieved 8/11/2011</ref><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTzyz2TgGls This local news segment displays the ''Super Mario World'' title screen with the "Super Mario Bros. 4" subtitle.], retrieved 8/11/2011</ref> Miyamoto has stated that this is his favorite ''Mario'' game.

 

==Story==

===General===

After the events of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mario and Princess Toadstool go on a vacation to [[Dinosaur Land]] by hot air balloon. When Mario and the Princess arrive, Luigi is there waiting for them with a [[Cape]]. He gives Mario a [[Cape Feather|Feather]], turning him into [[Cape Mario]]. They fly around Dinosaur Land with their capes.

"Monstrous turtles!," exclaimed Luigi. "Bowser and his bunch have returned!" Mario slowly nodded his head in agreement and, along with Luigi and Yoshi, set off across Dinosaur Land to find the Princess and to free Yoshi's friends. As they began their journey, Yoshi handed Mario a beautiful cape. "This may help you," Yoshi said. "Some say it has magical powers."<br>

With a little luck (and help from a magic cape), our hearty crew can defeat the seven worlds of Bowser's Krazy Koopa Kritters. Many locations are well-hidden so explore everywhere and try everything. Not all locations have to be explored to rescue the dinosaurs and save Princess Toadstool, but there are many "starry" treasures to be found in far-reaching places. You'll need to search all areas to find what kinds of treasures are there… in Super Mario World.</blockquote>

|When the blue switch is pressed, [[block]]s transform into coins and vice-versa, and some invisible blocks will be revealed. If the silver one is pressed, some enemies, such as [[Spiny|Spinies]], will transform into [[Silver Coin]]s. After a short period of time, the changes made by either switch will revert to normal.

In addition to Mario and Luigi, Yoshis of four different colors appear in the game, which may be controlled once acquired and help the Mario Bros. in many levels of the game:

 

 

Green Yoshis hatch out of [[Yoshi Egg]]s, usually found in various blocks throughout the game. If a Yoshi Egg is found but the player already has a Yoshi, the Egg will instead provide an [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Red, blue and yellow [[Yoshi]]s are extremely rare in ''Super Mario World''. They live only in the [[Star World]], a mysterious place accessible by using the five [[Star Road]]s found throughout the game. When they are first encountered, they are Baby Yoshis, small and are unable to be rode, but through carrying them, the baby Yoshi's will eat the enemies they touch. When 5 enemies are eaten, they will transform into adult Yoshi's, and can now be used normally. Baby Yoshis of all colors hatch from the Yoshi Eggs rescued from the castles, during the ending credits of the game.

''Super Mario World'' was ported to the [[Game Boy Advance]] handheld system as the second installation in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series, ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. Some of the more notable changes are new Luigi's sprite, the new amount of 999 lives that can now be saved, and the list of levels showing whether the secret exit and the [[Yoshi Coin]]s have been found.
