    The best remastered and best Super Mario game. A very fun game forever, a timeless game that should continue to be remembered for decades.

    Perfecciona la fórmula. Es increíble lo coloreado y vivo que se debía sentir en su época.

    I'm rating the snes version not the gba version.

    This is an amazing game, the levels are so fun. Mario controls so smoothly and is a masterpiece

    Reivented the whole franchise making the world levels that super mario 3 introduced better and is still one of the best 2d games of all time and holds up almost 40 years later. Everything is perfect, music, level design, art/graphics. Timeless Masterpiece.

    do I need to explain why super mario world is a gaming masterpiece?

    the level design, graphics, music, and powerups are all absolutely phenomenal. especially compared to the older mario games. if you have not played this game, then you need to. the snes and gba versions are both on nso. do it now.

    This is the best classic Mario game, the music is perfect, the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay was a clever spin to the classic 2D platform, is 100% times better than Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, if you have some money for the switch online this is a must play

    Another fine conversion of a snes classic that works brilliantly on the Advance.

    I haven't played this game for years, however, I do have some very fond memories of playing it as a young child. The level design was great with only a few bad levels and overall this game is still a masterpiece to this day.

    The fact that we can create levels in the style of this game in Super Mario Maker is a testament to how the game design still holds up to this day. Timeless masterpiece.

    I played this when it came out on the GBA and again just recently on the Switch via Nintendo Switch Online.

    This is the best 2D platformer ever made. Period. 30 years, and it still hasn't been topped.

    This game is kind of good for a remake. It has voices included in the remake, it has more check points in levels, and when you take damage, you just go big again. Don't know why they removed that in the original game when super mario bros 3 had that mechanic in the game.

Don't know why they removed that in the original game when super mario bros 3 had that mechanic in the game. However the graphics don't look as good as in the SNES game, the graphics aren't as good, neither was the music, and there are no new levels in the game. As for the game itself, I first played smw when I was 7 years old back when I was just getting into mario. The graphics were great(not as good or mind blowing as super mario all stars) and it showed me that graphics can go beyond 8 bit on both consoles and handhelds. Before, I just played the gameboy color and NES but when I was at a hotel playing the SNES, I felt like I was in the future! Eventually I saw other kids playing the gameboy advance version a couple years later at a summer camp and I eventually I got it a couple months later. It took me and my brother alittle over 2 years to beat it and it was mazing when I beat bowser. I even had a dream about beating him the day before. What a masterpiece. Nowdays I say the game is alittle easy for a mario game but back then, it was a great challenge. The only thing I wish the game did was have more mystery to the story. Even super mario bros 1 and 3 had some mystory to it.… Expand

    El mejor Mario previo a las épocas 3D. Música memorable, buenos niveles, todo lo hace correcto.

    Pure perfection. Super Mario World is already a timeless classic on SNES and its improvements are well enough for a take on GBA. Removing multiplayer and overuse voice acting might not be great but that does not ruin anything at all

    This was the first-ever game I played so I'm probably blinded by nostalgia.

    Just managed to get my hands on this game again after years of not playing it! Plopped it into my sp and was taken on a nostalgia trip of epic proportions! Nostalgia aside, this game is still the pinnacle of 2d mario in my eyes! Great level design, fun powers ups like yoshi and the cape, and a colorful world with tons of secrets!

    Esplendido, quase indescritível, jogo estupidamente divertido e complexo, grande, e que em sua sinopse n tem nada demais para os tempos atuais, mas que é efetuada de forma incrível, trilha sonora impecável, bem polido, gráficos funcionais e ótimo boss.

    Super Mario World is probably one of the most interesting side-scrolling mario platformers, filled to the brim with secrets, vibrant colors, and creative level designs all around. This GBA port does not dissapoint.

    Amazing Game! Playing Super Mario World by itself it's awesome, but (at the time) being able to play game on the go was legendary. The gameplay physics is perfect not exactly like the original but close enough. This game is fantastic and I'd recommend it along with the original.

    me parece demasiado divertido, es mas el super mario mas ''feliz'' por asi decirlo que he jugado, y el hecho de que implementaran al yoshi de forma tan interactiva le da un puntazo, ademas tiene jefes originales y niveles que no aburren, una joya.

    Хороший сборник. Но впихивать каждый раз Mario Bros- это не хорошо. Super Mario World игра которая использовала идеи третей части: карту, перо. Но и добавило Yoshi.

    One of the best games of all time ported to handheld was one of the greatest things at that time. So many memories on both the SNES and on the road on the GBA

    All the important elements that made "Super Mario World" a classic are preserved in this portable version and should inspire other companies to revive other SNES titles for possible GBA ports.
