Super Mario World Review


Since yesterday I reviewed a movie I will review a personal favorite of mine today.  Super Mario World was one of the first video games I played.  I was a child when this game came out and I could easily pick it up right now and enjoy it.  When I was little the only way I could get even close to beating it was by using the star shortcut.  With the shortcut I could basically beat the game in an hour or two.  What makes the game so great is that the game play never gets old.  Yes the graphics suck, as compared to today's video games, but the level design continuously changes.  One level there are black bullets shooting at you and the next you are riding Yoshi, eating apples, jumping on football players.  I would estimate that their are over one hundred levels.  Not only that, you can play all of them again; except for the castles (boss levels).  There are many secrets that I am sure I still haven't discovered in this classic game.  Some secrets I have discovered is the star shortcut (duh), the item level, how to get ninety-nine life's, and colored Yoshi's.  The music throughout the game is decent.  When you are beginning to run out of time the music speeds up which helps change up the tempo of the game.  If you have not ever played this game you should do yourself a favor and hit yourself, because this game deserves a 95%.
