Super Mario World (スーパーマリオワールド, Sūpā Mario Wārudo ), commonly abbreviated as SMW, is an SNES/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 April 11, 1992 in Europe. It was also released later for the Game Boy Advance and the Virtual Console for the Wii.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Super Mario World introduced the concept of Mario riding a dinosaur helper named Yoshi in a platforming title.

Characters

Yoshi, a starter character in the first three Super Smash Bros. games, first appeared in Super Mario World.

Stages

The stage Yoshi's Island, avaliable in Melee and Brawl, was based on the levels of this game.

Moves

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

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

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.

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, specifically the powers obtained after eating a Red or Blue Shell.

• 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 three of the above powers.
• Green Koopa Shells don't give Yoshi any powers.

Music

The music for the Melee stage Yoshi's Island is a rearrangement of the athletic theme of Super Mario World.

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

Other

There is a trophy of Mario riding Yoshi in Melee that was distributed at certain Nintendo events in Japan. The trophy can now only be accessed in NTSC versions with the help of a hacking device, and it cannot be found in the PAL version of the game at all.

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

The game itself is also available as a playable masterpiece in Brawl, unlocked by playing on the Melee Yoshi's Island stage three times. The masterpiece lasts 2 minutes.
