#28: Super Mario World
Like many people Super Mario World was my introduction to the SNES. A really great way to start things up! This colorful platformer was filled with secrets and fun power ups (who doesn't like flying over a whole stage with the cape?). It introduced haunted houses, allowed you to save your progress, you got a brand new friend in Yoshi (which Mario was unbelievably cruel to by punching him on the back of the head and launching him into pits).
The levels being replayable allowed for a more exploration focused gameplay when looking for keys and secret exits. The Special World also provided a fair challenge for completionists.
Signature goes here!
