The Story of Super Mario World
In this adventure, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach are on vacation in Dinosaur Land. Suddenly, the evil Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach! Bowser also captures seven Yoshi eggs. Mario and Luigi must go on a quest to save the princess and the Yoshis from Bowser and his Koopalings.
How to Play: New Features
Super Mario World brought many cool new things to the Mario games.
Riding Yoshi
One of the biggest additions was Yoshi. When Mario finds a Yoshi egg and frees the baby Yoshi, he can ride on it! Yoshi can swallow enemies and items. There are also different colored Yoshis:
- Blue Yoshi: If Yoshi eats a blue shell, he can fly for a short time.
- Red Yoshi: If Yoshi eats a red shell, he spits out three fireballs.
- Yellow Yoshi: If Yoshi eats a yellow shell, he creates a small dust cloud that defeats nearby enemies.
The Cape Feather
Another new item is the Cape Feather. When Mario gets this item, he gets a cape! With the cape, Mario can:
- Fly through the air after a running start.
- Spin the cape to hit enemies.
- Do a powerful ground pound by diving down.
Item Storage
The game also changed how Mario carries items. Now, Mario has a special box at the top of the screen. He can store one extra item there. If Mario gets hit and shrinks, the stored item will drop down for him to use. This helps players keep a power-up ready for emergencies.
Game Music
Kōji Kondō created all the music for Super Mario World. He used only an electronic keyboard to make the songs. Many of the melodies from this game became famous. Some were even used again in later Mario games. Almost all the songs in the game are different versions of the same main melody. This makes the music feel connected throughout the whole adventure.
