Super Mario World (snes)

[VIAN]

Yoshi's Island's levels are too big for my taste.

You should. You didn't even get the cape, right?

I don't think so, but honestly, it's been so long I don't remember.

I can guarantee you that wasn't the case with the original SNES cartridge

SMW stands the test of time. There is no doubt.

I loaned my SNES to my friend's 6 year old and 4 year old boys last year. I didn't get it back for months, not until they had the game mastered...

Except the Special zone. They never made it past the 2nd level (with the balloons). God, I hated that level.

you could save after every other level in the special area, but not in the rest of the game.

Super Mario World is my most favorite game of all time. Period. I remember it being frustrating at times, but I wouldn't call it difficult. Back in the day, I remember going through it a couple of times and getting every single thing there was to get. The star road was pretty awesome.




*** SPOILER!!!!!! ***
The hardest thing I remember having to do was doing the level on the lower wooden bridge on the map, and you basically have to get a cape, fly into the air, and keep afloat all the way to the end of the level. Before you cross the finish line, you have to dive all the way to the bottom of the screen, and pull back so you dip underneath the finish line and land on the ground behind it. I think this was one of the ways to the star road.

I always just took any Yoshi through the level while I had a cape, jumped off the saws, then glided under the first finish post, jumping off Yoshi and letting him plummet to his doom while I went on and ran to the secret finish.

Hardest level for me was called (I think) "Tubular" in the special stage. The one where you fly around as a balloon buddha.

Yeah that's pretty tough, however, you can cheat and get by with a blue yoshi almost effortlessly.

I feel like I would've tried that.. that was the way I'd get past a lot of stages that I couldn't do any other way when I was younger. I'm sure i tried that but it didnt work right away, so I gave up on it...

Isn't it too long to hold a single shell in your mouth? Do you have to switch partway through the map? I've only been able to do it, through sheer luck and trying over and over, the hard way.

you have a lot to learn my young one ...

when he was about to swallow it all you had to do was spit it out and bounce it off a wall and get it snatch it back up again.

I didn't think there were any turtle shells to grab at the beginning of that level. I'll have to hook up the SNES and give it another go.

That trick helps in a bunch of spots. It's pretty much a double-jump. :thumbsup:

if i recall, several of the up-down spiked castles were kind of the most difficult levels in the game.

You need to have a blue yoshi and a cape so you can glide and make the jumps, you need to activate the switch to make coins solid, jump to the first yellow ? block, then jump on top of the SECOND baseball charging chuck to reach a diamond shaped block of coins, in front of these block is a column of 3 flying red koopas. Yoshi's tongue will barely touch them but you'll still swallow them, from there it's just smooth flying (remember to fly through the middle of the screen, you'll get hit by footballs and fire flowers if you fly off the top of the screen, you won't run out of flying time).

Man I remember beating tubular for the first as a kid. That was awesome, one of my favorite games from childhood.
