There are 904 reviews on this site for Super Mario World, with countless more video essays and articles and retrospectives gunking up the net. Everyone has played it, everyone has an opinion on it, nobody has anything new to say about it. I don't have a friend group large enough to pretend like anyone is going to feign interest in my white bread opinion, but since I committed myself to writing something about every game on my bucket list:

Super Mario World stands side-by-side with Sonic 3 & Knuckles as being the platformers of the 16-bit era. It is timeless, nearly flawless, and one of the easiest games to pick up and play. It pretty much set the standard for 2D platformers and its impact is every bit as present and powerful today as it was in the 1990s.

There is no greater joy than jumping off a yoshi halfway over a pit of lava

I'd hunt tons of things for sport, but you don't see me bragging about it.

@DeltaWDunn One of those douchebag big game hunting photos but it's me grinning like a jackass next to a Yoshi.

I'm later told a "Yoshi's safari" isn't what I thought it was and am arrested for poaching a protected species.
