SUMMARY
In Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo console, you play as Mario (single player) and Luigi (multiplayer) and try to save the princess from the clutches of Bowser. Using Mario’s ability to jump, fly, and run, you travel through various lands and encounter enemies of all types.
GAMEPLAY
Playing Super Mario World brings back so many memories from my childhood. I’m an only child so video games growing up were my source of entertainment when I got bored at home. I can remember when I had a Super Nintendo and Super Mario World was my favorite game to play. It was always a challenge to me because I never beat the game. However, when I use to watch my uncle play, I can remember being amazed at all the levels that I had never seen simply because I couldn’t progress but so far in the game. I can also remember sitting in front of the television and playing for hours. I would stay up all night playing my Super Nintendo. I love playing Super Mario World now simply because whenever I play, I always revisit some fun times in my childhood.
I also love Super Mario World because there’s not much complication to the game, but the game is challenging. For example, games now-a-days are so complex as far as the storyline, the navigation of the levels, and the controls. Super Mario World, however, is very basic fundamentally, but the levels and actually game play still challenge the user.
GAMEPLAY 2
When I play Super Mario World with a group of friends, we always challenge each other to see who can play the longest without losing a life. It’s fun because we create a game within a game. It’s also funny how other people get involved in your game play. For instance, when I’m watching my friends play, I find myself trying to give pointers as they play. Other players also tend to get extremely nervous as someone else is playing. For example, if I have to make a big jump in the game, I notice that my friends are usually nervous that I won’t make it across and they make noises as I’m about to jump. When playing Super Mario World, it doesn’t matter if you are playing or a spectator, everyone in the room is usually involved in the game.
I love the characters in Super Mario World. I even find myself laughing at the turtle enemies in the game. My favorite character is Yoshi because he is this happy baby dinosaur that can eat anything. I also remember Luigi being one of my favorite characters as a kid because everyone loved Mario and I wanted to be different.
DESIGN
The elements of Super Mario World that I enjoy are the different worlds, the various levels, and the different characters. These elements of the game keep the game interesting and exciting. One level you may be on land and the next you may be underwater. The challenges of each level are different and I’m always anticipating what new strategy I’ll have to create to pass the next level. I also love how playing Super Mario World is an experience that many people across the world can share. Many people can relate to playing Super Mario World as kids and it is an element of our generation’s culture. I laugh at how some people even remember the tunes from the game.
The tone of the Super Mario World game world also helps create the atmosphere that surrounds game play. The use of bright colors makes for a fun experience when you play the game. The graphics is also cartoon-like which helps bring out the inner child of each person that interacts with the game. Super Mario World is a game that can be enjoyed by people of all age groups and anyone can play (i.e. someone with lots of gaming experience to someone who has no gaming experience).
