A fun game in 1990 and a still fun game now. Have been in love with the sprite work in this game since I was like 12 and am glad to report it hasn’t aged a day. Possibly the console's prettiest game, and only potentially outdone by it's sequel. So many great levels in this one, albeit a few which are complete shit. Compared to the cohort of its time however, it has a shockingly good ratio of good stuff to makes me want to die stuff. Every platformer released after this inarguably stands upon Super Mario World's shoulders, but many of them have surpassed it thanks to the leg up.
