Super Mario World is a 2D adventure game where the main character Mario must rescue Princess Peach by fighting through increasingly difficult levels. One of Mario's companions is Yoshi, a green dinosaur who can eat enemies and shoot them as fireballs. The game features Bowser's cousins in castles as boss levels, which require carefully timing jumps onto their heads to defeat them. Bowser himself waits in the final castle to kidnap Princess Peach again. The game includes power-ups like mushrooms that grant extra health and flowers that let Mario shoot flames.

Super Mario World is a 2D fun adventure game that is designed for young kids and families.
The main character is called Mario and he is an Italian plumber. His aim is to rescue a
princess and in order to do so he has to fight through multiple that get harder as you
progress.
One of Mario’s companions is a green dinosaur; Mario hatches him from an egg and then
jumps on his back if to ride him. This dinosaur is called Yoshi it eats most of Mario’s enemies
and shoots them out turning them into fire balls.
Throughout the game I encountered Bowser cousins in
small castles. These levels are usually the hardest on the
world, as I would have expected, also during these
encounters I learned that I have to time it right for jumping
on their heads because they can shield themselves using
their shell or a fire ball. Usually they are fought on
platforms that are moving side to side and larva is below,
this can get quite annoying because I let my guard down or
I concentrate on one thing too much and fell in.
Bower is Mario’s arch enemy and he is the one who kidnaps princess peach, he waits in the
final castle and is bigger than all of his cousins. I found it very annoying because all he was
doing when he couldn’t hit you with his fire ball was scream and make the screen shake.

There are perk equivalent items in the game that give you special powers , one of which is a
red and white mushroom, it makes you somewhat bigger and acts like extra health. Another
is a flower like plant that gives Mario the ability to shoot
flames from his hands. And the best one of all is a star that
makes you invincible and unstoppable with this you can just
walk through enemies and it will eliminate them.
Mario wears a red hat, a blue onesie and a red jumper, he has
a moustache, white gloves and a red M on his hat symbolising
his name Mario.
I like how the games world view is set, its nice and simple with not much detail and easy to
navigate to which level you need to progress to next.
When playing the game; because it is so old I expected it to be easy to play but it wasn’t
mainly because of the buttons and the moving system. When I wanted to stop moving it
expected it to stop straight away and I found myself falling off the map and dying or running
into an enemy multiple times.

I did like the sound tracks it makes me motivated to
play on and also reminds me of when I used to play it
as a young child. I also like the game art it makes it
entertaining to look at each individual character and
AI. The AI have a simple yet intimidating look that
makes you want to challenge them and jumping on
their heads usually defeats them.
