I have such good memories of Super Mario World. Playing it with my cousins when I was a kid. The sense of satisfaction I felt when I FINALLY beat Tubular. Out of all the Mario platformers, this is my favorite, by far.
It took me a while (by a while, I mean a year when I was about seven years old or so) to remember all the hidden exits and the secret areas, but I eventually did. And I still do to this day. This is one of the few games that I could stop playing for years and still remember everything.
I think the main thing that I liked about it was Yoshi...Not because I love dinosaurs (even though I do). Yoshi, poor thing, was my sacrifice. If I accidentally misjudged a jump and fell short, I would just jump off of Yoshi. I would get the boost I needed to land on a platform and he would plummet to his death. Did I feel good about killing my little dinosaur pet? Of course not. But hey, it's him or me and the consequences are greater if I die.
I don't have much else to say, really. The music is great, the level designs were all fun, even the frustrating ones. The castles and fortresses were much more interesting than the ones you go through in the previous Mario games. Super Mario World was just...The perfect Mario platformer.
