Personal reviews (2)

This is by far the best platform game ever created. Nothing ever came close to it, and is still greatly enjoyable.

# 2006

A great, colorful game that vastly improved on the already popular Super Mario Bros. 3 and sold quite a number of Super NES bundles. With the addition of new moves like the spin jump, the new cape power-up (which takes the place of the raccoon tail from the previous game), and Yoshi, Mario's new dinosaur sidekick and transportation, there's plenty to explore here. The game world is vast and offers many hidden levels and multiple exits in most stages. This is Mario at the very top of his game.

Official description

During a vacation in Dinosaur Land, Princess Toadstool gets kidnapped and a spell is cast on the inhabitants of the island. When they stumble upon Yoshi, a young dinosaur, Mario and Luigi learn that Bowser is responsible for the terrible misdeeds. Now, all Yoshis are trapped in magical eggs that Bowser has hidden throughout seven castles. Many hidden paths aid Mario in making his way to Bowser's castle, completing 74 areas and finding all 96 exits. Discover items, including a feather that gives Mario a cape that allows him to fly, or a flower that shoots fireballs in layers upon layers of 2-D scrolling landscapes. Players can even ride Yoshi and swallow their enemies.
