3. Super Mario World
Where to begin with Super Mario World?
Super Mario World took Super Mario Bros. 3 and put it on awesome-enhancing steroids, increasing performance and fun-factor in a variety of different ways. On the outside, the game play very similar to it's predecessor with better music and graphics. However, the changes make it worthy of the third spot in this list.
The overworld map for Super Mario World is immense and filled with not only bright and creative settings, but also secrets and shortcuts. While it appears to be, essentially, a straight line there is a ridiculous amount of secret levels to find throughout the game, providing for an enriching experience.
The new power-ups and your good pal Yoshi also spiced up the gameplay from what SMB3 had to offer. The cape, which is essentially a remodel of the Tanooki Suit, allows Mario to fly up into the air and glide himself back down to safety. Many levels provide secrets high up in the air, so having a cape is always handy. Being able to ride on Yoshi also allows for different approaches to levels and the enemies and secrets within them. Also added was the Spin Jump which, if used correctly, can save Mario from quite a lot of deaths.
Gameplay in Super Mario World never seems to feel old, no matter how many times you manage to make it through every level, even the secret ones, in the game; the replay value is literally that great. The game has become one of the greatest-selling games of all time and has a lasting legacy both throughout the Mario fanbase and media as a whole.
Super Mario World is fun, fast-paced, and challenging, but it never seems to get tiresome no matter how many times you pick up that controller and play. It has influenced future Mario titles and many other platformers in general, which is welcomed by the community. Beautifully designed, fantastically orchestrated, and wonderfully absurd, World took everything Super Mario Bros. 3 had to offer and made it even better.
And considering how fun Super Mario Bros. 3 is, that's a pretty big deal.
