Super Mario World (スーパーマリオワールド, Sūpā Mario Wārudo ), commonly abbreviated SMW, is a Super Nintendo/Super Famicom game that featured Mario and Luigi and introduced the character Yoshi. It was released on November 21, 1990 in Japan, August 13, 1991 in North America and then April 11, 1992 in Europe. It was also released later for the Game Boy Advance and the Virtual Console for the Wii.

Super Smash Bros. series

Yoshi, a starter character in all three Super Smash Bros. games premiered in this game. Also, the stage Yoshi's Island, avaliable in Melee and Brawl, was based on the levels of this game. In addition, the music to Yoshi's Island is a rearrangement of the athletic theme of Super Mario World

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Yoshi's Final Smash, Super Dragon, is based on powers Yoshi could obtain in Super Mario World, depending on what color Koopa shells Yoshi eats.

  • Red Koopa Shells have Yoshi spit out fire.
  • Blue Koopa Shells allow Yoshi to fly.
  • Yellow Koopa Shells allow Yoshi to stomp and release dust clouds, which damage enemies
  • Blinking Koopa Shells give Yoshi all these powers.
  • Green Koopa Shells don't give Yoshi any powers.
Super Mario World introduced the concept of Mario riding a dinosaur helper named Yoshi in a platforming title.

Also, a remix of the "Ending" and "Title" music is one of the tracks that can play on the Delfino Plaza stage.

There is also Trophy of Mario riding Yoshi in Melee that was distributed at certain Nintendo events.

The Mario Tornado might come from the spin jump of this game, as well as his down aerial in Melee.

Mario's side special, Cape, was almost certainly based on the Cape Feather powerup in this game which gave Mario a cape he could use to swing and damage enemies.

The Koopa Clown Car, used by Bowser in the final boss of Super Mario World, appears as a trophy in Melee and Bowser is seen riding on it twice in The Subspace Emissary.

One of Luigi's specials, Green Missile, could be loosely based on the pipe cannons, where if Luigi (or Mario) entered a pipe that took them underground and found the exit, they would sometimes fire out of a cannon upon exit.

The game itself is also available as a playable masterpiece in Brawl.
