SUMMARY
In Super Mario World for Super Nintendo, the player or players (the game enables a one-player or two-player mode) are in control of either two characters by the names of Mario and Luigi. These two characters are able to jump, run, grow, and even receive powers such as the ability to shoot flame balls or the ability to fly. The main goal is to avoid ‘bad guys’ and to work your way around obstacles in the many different levels to further your way into the game.
GAMEPLAY
This game would have to be one of the most enticing games to ever be created in my opinion; I couldn’t put the controller down! This game is really fun not only alone, but as well as with the two-player mode. You automatically build a bond with your partner as you attempt to further yourselves through each level, pushing each other and getting psyched up. Mario (and Luigi alike) is able to do many things that enabled me to make ease of things. One beneficial factor within the game included the ability to hop onto Yoshi (a green little dinosaur with an appetite) and eat bad guys who approached me. Mario is able to grow from being small, run really fast, fly, shoot fire balls, and I’m sure further into the game more powers will be available. Mario is very well rounded and with this, I was able to solidly get through levels getting coins and extra lives.
The amount of constant flow in the game was very much present. It’s a simple concept; I would start at the beginning of a level and finish at the end. This beginning/end flow resonates throughout each level of the game and makes the players eagerly wait for the next and the next level. When playing, I played with an audience of four people, and what was interesting was that not only the players were the ones who were into the game, but also everyone watching was really into the game. At times I would look over and the audience would emulate Mario or Luigi’s movements with their mouths or heads because they were so into it. Super Mario World is a very social game and I think that is what really makes this game one of the best.
