Super Mario World is the follow up to the two previous Mario games. Those being Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3. This was the final game in the mainline Mario franchise to adapt the RPG style of gameplay with long cutscenes and large character, with later games taking on the much adored platforming genre.

This game like those before it fails as an RPG. There is little to no gameplay and almost the entire game is cutscenes. The game is seperated into many chapters that all repeat an extremely similar style of story. This game introduces Yoshi to the main cast as well the Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad making their return. Sadly I dont feel as though Yoshi's Voice Actor is the best. He fits the character but I find it kind of annoying. The voice actors of the previous games make thier return of course and are still serviceable at worst and pretty good at best.

Every chapter usually takes the form of one single 20 minute long cutscene that recycle the same plot for each chapter. Usually involving King Koopa doing some evil and Mario being needed to save the day. Mario will stop Bowser and then the cucle repeats in the next chapter. The only gameplay in the entire game is the Chapter select screen and there is not much else.

In conclusion this game is very boring when played for too long. At first it starts off goofy and fun but as you progress through each chapter you realize that the game's plot lacks any originality and every chapter follows the same formula over and over. I will never understand why everyone veiws this game as a classic.

I finished 100%. Granted 100% solely consist of just beating all the levels so it's not super hard to do. Except Tubular. Fuck Tubular
