The flowering time of SNES!

After three brilliant and highly successful parts Bros. on the NES and the three "Mario Land" - playing on the Game Boy, SNES gem crowed with this Jump'n Run: "Super Mario World - Yoshi's Iceland". And what was a success. If I had a Top 3 of the best Mario games up, this would be at least in 2nd place! Nintendo makes somehow always get it right in his plumber, I AHB feel definitely, when it comes to the jump'n'run genre and even the best-known spin-offs, such as "Mario Kart" and "Mario Party" convince repeatedly, but back to "Yoshi Iceland".

Peach was kidnapped as always and must be rescued by Mario. Opposite him are again the seven-member Koopasippe, led by King Bowser himself.

Even then the story was no longer really matter. Was she ever? Yes, perhaps at "Super Mario 64", but that's another topic ...
"Mario World" is from front to back perfect! The gameplay impresses in every detail, even the water level can be overcome without any problems, because the control is not as cumbersome as in the NES parts. There are also small innovations, such as the rotation jump, which is used for breaking up blocks and enemies and can be used very flexibly.
For this, the items: Classic course Mushroom, Fire Flower and Star and now the super featherweight, with Mario can go into the air, similar to the Tanukianzug in "Mario Bros. 3", only slightly better. But the most important enhancement was then a small but wonderful Dino: Yoshi! Here he made his debut (of course, he was also seen before, such as in "Mario Kart") and quickly became the favorite of the Nintendo community. Due to its three different brothers (yellow, red and blue) the entire game is incredibly diverse and offers tons of tactics and ways to master each level.

At worlds you will not be disappointed: a large island divided into seven different worlds, with countless secret passages, bonus rooms and not to forget the sophisticated special world.
Even Bowser and Co get a lot of support, for example of nasty moles and dinosaurs. Since the Goombas and Koopas almost act already like small appendages.

The nice thing especially, the degree of difficulty increases significantly during the course and you will be called beautiful, particularly the special worlds have what it takes. But the balance between motivation and hardness of the game is always perfectly balanced.

Musically they will again spoiled by Koji Kondo with grandiose earwigs, as one is used to from him anyway!

Conclusion: For Jump'n Run freaks this masterpiece is a must and with the continuation and the three legendary Donkey Kong games on the SNES, is "Super Mario World" an unbeatable Mario game in a class!
