Para mi es la versión definitiva del juego,creci con este juego y muchas veces he abierto la gba sp solo para hacer alguna partida.Pero esta vez decidi hacerme todo,las monedas y todas las salidas,menuda experiencia

Its like Mario World but you can play as Luigi

All-time favorite. Probably the most foundational experience of my gaming career.

Do you want to play Super Mario World on the go?


Just play it on your Switch, idiot.

only played the first world, star world, and the special world, but they were fun and the special world in particular offered a good challenge.


Nothing to add here from my experience on the SNES Version. It's the same game , but with worse audio quality and some quality of life changes.
I like that now you have a list of levels where you can see collectibles , exits and teleport instantly to levels without slowly traversing the entire map.
Luigi is significantly worse to use compared to Mario and meìakes me feel like the game is in slow mode for some reason. I don't aunderstand this Super Mario Advance trend of putting Luigi as a playable character if it's so unfun to play.
So what's better , this or the SNES Version ? Personally i suggest to play the SNES Version since there aren't much changes or added content and Audio is just better.

As someone who didn't have a SNES, it was a great way to have the second best Mario game.

A fine version of the best 2D mario with some slight level changes and the addition of playing with luigi with his physics. The music is worse and the screensize is smaller and the colors are washed out, but thats what you get for being on the GBA. If you can play the original then stick with that, but this is a good alternative for its time.

hell yes dude. there is nothing i can say about this game that hasn't been said a million times over. you cannot go wrong with this.

El mejor juego de plataformas 2D de todos los tiempos y de Mario en particular. Brillante en todos sus aspectos

Why the colors washed out, wtf. Still good but I swear SMW is one of the most overrated games, like it’s good but like fuck hop off its dick.

Can't understand how every Advance Version of Mario feels like a downgrade.

All Super Mario games are masterpiece.

Lo mejor de lo mejor, aun a día de hoy el juego es hermoso y creo todo lo que ahora es mario.

The main additions to this compared to the SNES original are playable Luigi with similar physics to SMB2 with his trademark slippery run and higher jump.

As well as track-able collectables, now you can see what Yoshi Coins you have collected throughout each level, while Secret Exits had a tell in the original they’re also denoted on this screen.

There are cute little animated sequences when you hit each goal.

I think it’s a fine way to experience Super Mario World and many probably prefer it, sound and visuals have some compromise. Thinner sound and with some scrolling vertically due to the GBA aspect ratio.

There’s a fan hack of the original that adds in these systems to the SNES original.

The detail I never picked up on is the costumed bullet bills look like Kirby’s owl shaped friend or something. Very cute.

Mario World is still my favorite 2D Mario! Great updates to the original, besides the soundtrack of the GBA, which is serviceable. A timeless classic, and the GBA version is the best way to play it, now on NSO!

My favorite version of SMW by far. Luigi da best

THE BEST VERSION OF SUPER MARIO WORLD, I AM OBJECTIVELY CORRECT

Just logging this here for the sake of completion. If you want my real review of this game, check out the original SNES version

pretty decent port of a classic game. these types of re-releases feel so nostalgic of it's time. especially love the added voice acting

i stole my sisters gameboy to play this

It's a competent port, but the original version is better. The screen crunch, reduced audio quality, and washed-out colors all make this worse.

Butchered version of one of the best 2D Mario games

Still haven't beat the game though :c

Not sure how I feel about 2D Mario games - when you're in a groove, it feels great. When you're not, I want to throw the Game Boy across the room. Late game had a lot of secrets you needed to find in order to proceed, which I found pretty frustrating. I'm probably more of a 3D Mario fan than a 2D one, but based on historical context, this game fell way short of my expectations.

Excelente port de un juego muy bueno.


This is just a slightly worse and portable Mario World wow

Platinado via RetroAchievements.

Nossa, nunca tinha jogado essa versão do Super Mario World, gostei mais dela do que a versão de SNES, um ótimo jogo

Nostalgia, juego para críos pero algunos niveles... uff, complicadetes. Buenos niveles y entretenido.

Confusing title aside, this is Super Mario World as you remember it..... mostly. I played a color restoration hack which improves the washed-out colors of the original GBA release. The OST also takes a hit, with less quality in the audio's fidelity and some songs sounding a little off, such as the Underground theme. The voice acting can also be a little grating at times, especially if a particular section is giving you trouble. All this aside, this is still Super Mario World, which is still an amazing game.
