This game has Yoshi.
In seriousness, Super Mario Worlds does what SNES games do and perfected the 2D Mario formula. Mario’s controls felt good before, but now he feels perfect, like an extension of your hand. This game adds a spin jump as well that benefits more skilled players willing to take risks.
SMB3’s influence is strong, though the technical advancements of the SNES allow great improvement to the visuals. The map becomes a sprawling, immersive landscape, more versatility is given to the design of the boss fights (nothing as elegant as 3’s battle with Bowser though, unfortunately). SMW introduced the more puzzle designed, atmospheric ghost houses, and the star world: fun, off kilter levels that serve as a reward for completion.
There may be fewer power ups, but Yoshi and the cape flower are far better designed and incorporated into the levels than most in the series’ history, so it really doesn’t matter.
