"Super Mario World is a joke. Well, not just one, but actually hundreds of jokes, stuffed with cameos, remakes and reimaginings of 2D lore, all layered over a ravishingly pure platform adventure that dared to play with your assumptions about the form. Why should an exit be the exit? Why should the bottom of the screen always mean death? And why should you just drop like a stone when you’ve soared into the sky? But then, Mario set those assumptions in the first place, so there’s no one else more appropriate to set about questioning them. . . In substance, Super Mario World is merely the best 2D platform game ever made: in reality, it’s more play, more of the time, than anything else." - Edge
