Super Mario World (N64)

DISCLAIMER: This is a SNES game (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), it is not a Nintendo 64 game and was never released on that console. Dooyoo do not have a SNES category, which is sad. The early nineties saw children divided into four groups, as sociologists will be aware: those who had a Sega MegaDrive; those who had a Super Nintendo; those who had both and were also rich and irritating; and those who had neither, but really wanted one. I passed through three of those phases over the course of several years, originally owning Sega MegaDrive and later supplementing it with a Super Nintendo. I was a class traitor, I admit it, and Sonic the Hedgehog ...  Read the complete review

The year was 1991, and Nintendo had to pull something special out of their collective corporate hat to convince gamers to buy their new hardware. And they did. SMW is a game that practically every SNES owner has, and for a good reason. Over the course of the 6-odd years that SNES lasted for, few - if any - managed to improve on the simple gameplay of Mario World. I think Yoshi's Island, while hugely innovative and technically far superior, simply cannot compare to SMW purely in terms of gameplay. What a predictable opening paragraph that was. But anyway, this is vintage Nintendo, which simply is incapable of becoming dated. The structure of the game is ...  Read the complete review

Nintendo - one person who went on to develop this company had once had an idea about one very catchy mascot - and, as you (love game or hate games) now know, his name is Mario. Mario had started in the early days of arcade where Donkey Kong (another mascot who went on to become a good guy) had captured Daisy (Princess Toadstool) and you took control of this Mario fella and got to the top. Classic. He then went on to a debut game for the Nintendo Entertainment System - namely Super Mario Bros. This was a 2D, side-scrolling platform game which involved you picking up mushrooms and growing, then picking up a flower and being able to fire. This game was a hit for ...  Read the complete review

I haven't done a games opinion in a while so I felt I should do one. This was one of the first games I got for my SNES and remained a favourite for a while, however in many ways I felt it almost a step back from Mario 3 on the NES, although one with a few nice new features. --Background-- It came out at the same time as the SNES was launched and was one of the selling points of the console, with impressive graphics (for the time) and the continuation of one of Ninetendos most popular characters people expected a lot from the game and for the most part they weren't disappointed. Released in 1991 and published (and developed) by Nintendo this was a ...  Read the complete review

Super Mario World was one of the first games out with the SNES, much like Mario 64 was the first game out for the N64. Nintendo had had a history of successes with the Mario games of the NES, and it was no surprise when this game turned out to be one of the best Mario games of all time. ~~~~Story/Plot~~~~ To be quite honest I have no idea what the plot was for this game. Generally like all Mario game it had something to do with Bowser being Evil, and the Princess being helpless. (Anyone that can actually tell me the plot, would be appreciated, and will get a mention when I update!) During the game you just have to kill baddies, go on to kill bowser ...  Read the complete review
