Super Mario World

Miyamoto san's finest moment? Certainly packed full of the creative genius of a man who can recall the innocence and fun of childhood. Vast diversity from the spooky Ghost House levels and their translucent ghouls to bouncing off fugu fish over sea levels to skimming under a platform ledge with cape fully extended to swoop in on that hidden coin. Perfectly suited to the 2D medium and so much to explore to obtain a perfect score. Set a bench mark never realised again and that was on the machine's release. The finest 2D Mario title amongst some pretty strong competition.
