With many billing Super Mario Bros. 3 as the greatest game of all time, would any of Mario's future games live up to the raccoon-tail wagging smash hit?

Mario's at it again, as usual. Jump your way through everything from Donut Plains to Chocolate Island on your quest to save the princess from the evil king Boswer. Yeah, I know, how original.
Right away, you'll be off on your journey, but this isn't just another Mario game that's almost the same as a previous existing one. Super Mario World is a game with levels that are made with extra fun where you'll feel like playing some of them many times. It also was the first Mario game to introduce flying with a cape, doing spin jumps and riding a Yoshi. There are even four different Yoshis which are different in more ways than just how they look. Of course, mushrooms, goombas and all the other stuff in tons of Mario games are back as well. Still, with all the new arrangements of everything, there's a lot more to this game than the NES versions.
This is not one of those play through every level once and you can't go there again games. Even after beating a level, you can go back to it to try to find a secret exit that will open up a different level than the normal way of beating the level. This makes things way cooler as you get to look through levels for secrets rather than just trying to reach the finish.
Part of what I like so much about this game is that I just can't find anything I don't like about it. The controls, sound, graphics, replay value - all of that stuff is just incredible for an SNES game. I still have yet to find another 2D platform game I think is better.
There really isn't that much more to say about this game. It's very simple, but that's not a bad thing. It's a game that virtually every gamer would enjoy. If you've never played it, well, you should give it a try.
