Happy 30th birthday to Super Mario World and the Super Famicom/SNES! Please leave a comment about your best memories of Super Mario World, or about the day you got a SFC/SNES.

@atariboy9084 3 года назад

The very first time I ever seen this Super Famicom was when my mother took me to NYC Bellevue Hospital and at there news stand she got me a gaming magazine to read as I was waiting for my mother's check up and on the issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly Presents The 1991 Video Game Buyer's Guide. And after I got the SNES in 1991 I found a Super Famicom in Chinatown sometime in 94 with a bunch of game carts cheap. My back story on the SNES was when I gone to an high school in Pennsylvania call Devereux Mapleton School I've stay there for 4 years from 91 to 94 in fact my after we came back from our the prom night on June 17, 1994 we all came back on the TV news we all was watching OJ being chase from the police cars in the highway live. Anyway in 91 as a me and my school friends gone to the King of Prussia's Electronic Boutique there I got the SNES with the Super Mario World Pack-in game.

@OM19_MO79 3 года назад

Let me get this straight. SMW has more cons and yet it won? What did I miss? Levels in SMW are just like the music, repetitive, that's another con to consider.

The first time I had a Super Nintendo is when I was in Elementary School. I had an SNES and I remember playing Wheel of Fortune Deluxe Edition for that system. I saw Mario is Missing, and the person at the information desk was Princess Daisy but with her NES Open Tournament Golf Colors in the SNES version.

@rudeboyjohn3483 3 года назад

Hands down, the Nintendo systems were the best things of my childhood. Growing up mostly poor, working from the age of 5 on the road with my Pops on a carnival, I didn't have too much to look forward to, possession wise. My dad made sure that every year, every birthday and Christmas, I had some new videogame or the new Nintendo as it as it came out. This is the first year without my Pops, as he died from Covid complications on Fathers Day. The holidays are coming up quick, and nothing brings back the happier times than thinking back to my Pops--having busted his ass to obtain whatever Nintendo product was available--watching me play. Super Mario World was one that he himself picked up, time and time again. The game holds a pretty special place in my heart. Those were good moments.

Sorry to hear that. I'm from a working class background without a lot of money but in a stable situation. My grandpa also built a house from the mid 60s on. He died last October. My classmates often thought my parents must have much money. But we (my older brother and me) didn't. We just saved money on other things and our relatives gave us money or games of our wishes on holidays.

@SnakeJSN 3 года назад

Using old Nintendo ads during your "commercial breaks" was a nice touch.

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

Thank you. The main reason for that is because especially in this case, some ads have dates. So for everyone who was here especially before 11/21 they could see that and kind of replicate the feeling of what it was like back then. Thanks for watching 🦖

Yes, 30yrs ago was indeed 1990, and that is 30yrs since super Mario world, Yoshi first appeared in that game, 30 years ago, meaning Yoshi is 30yrs old, and has been around for 30yrs. They should be celebrating his 30yr birthday as he is now 30 as that's when he first appeared, in 1990, because that's how long he has been around for.

When I started Super Mario World for the first time, it was a slap in my face! It was magic... First level I play, there was those gigantic Banzai Bill!! I was able to find 95 exits out of the 96 by myself. I was so frustrated I couldn't find the last one (it was one of the last Ghost Houses) I had to look in a magazine for the solution. What a game...

I don't know if I've commented this in the past but I absolutely love the way you do your ad placements. I have premium so I don't get the ads the same way but the overall feel of the way you place the cards and actual topic-relevant advertisements in there too are top notch. What makes it so good is you use the breaks as natural topic jumps and it all just works. I hate nothing more than having actual content interrupted by an ad but since you build around them and place them logically it's really nice. Your channel is criminally underrated and as such one I recommend to everyone I know that likes stuff like this and its the attention to detail like that that is why I do. You're fantastic. Seriously. Great video like always.

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

Thank you! If there is ever an ad mid-video, it means google put it there and I didn’t know it. I used to be a TV director actually and I guess it's just a natural urge. I think to actually stop the video and take a break helps divide up long videos into topics, I always write videos in outline first, so each break starts a new roman numeral. I also think for the viewer it's good to switch it up because people's attentions naturally go up and down. After each fake ad break I lay 3 seconds of black and if you see a youtube ad, it looks very smooth. Thanks for watching! It means a lot 🦖

i don't think kids today will quite grasp the advancements in console content. kids who grew up with xbox and later consoles will pretty much see similar graphics as time goes on, just more refined and higher resolution. for us in the 80s going into the 90s, we went from literal limited pixels and pallets and grinding square waves (chip tunes) to some really fancy visuals and SFX/BGM with the SNES. we all love the music in mario 3 on the NES, but for us to be presented for the first time ever with the castle music in Mario World (the bass lines) and the boomy sfx, was nothing short of breathtaking. we were wow'd by pilot wings, sim city, ghouls n ghosts, castlevania etc... that kind of experience will never be experienced by anyone again. when i went from KH2 on PS2 to KH3 on xbox x, the wow factor wasn't as dramatic, still impressed, but nothing close to how i felt going from NES to SNES.

AFTER you FINISH the course you get to keep and RIDE the Yoshi you got in a level. Really think about that! Not one other game allowed that and it's 2020!!!!

I have loved lots of consoles over the years, but I've never had as much affection for one as I do the SNES. Just such a landmark machine that felt like really moved gaming forwards. And it had such an amazing library of games that made me realise that games could do more than I had thought possible. I had really enjoyed many games before, but none immersed me in the game like all the great adventure and RPG games. Its even better now that we can access the Japan only releases with translations. I've recently been playing the fairly new translations for Ganbare Goemon 2 and 3. It's fantastic getting to enjoy these games. I still play SNES at least a couple of times each week.

I'll never forget the first time I saw Super Mario World in a gaming magazine and was absolutely confounded by the weird tomato looking Goombas. The article even said "we'll have all the juicy details" and somehow my mind connected the dots that he would be fighting vegetables in the game. I still don't get why they changed the overall look of the most iconic mook and then just changed it back the second they had another game that used the characters. I know now that they're technically different characters, sure. Also, the grainy, ultra-bright pictures made it look like swimming Mario was actually riding a little boat. I'll always in the back of my mind be a little disappointed that Mario wasn't fighting salad monsters in his little tugboat when I finally got to play the game.

And a lot of them they changed back. I will never understand the round Goombas or rather Galoombas. I guess they just wanted to change the squishy, mushroom like Goombas that you stomp on to something you carry and throw like a Koopa shell. Seems in recent years they decided to make them a different species. Then they were never seen again until some more recent games because squishy Goombas are more iconic to the game series.

SMB3 is characterized by freewheeling creativity. World rests on its laurels more. It's just comfortable. It's comfortable with itself and it's comfortable to play. Even all the music being variations on a single theme contributes to this comfortable, stable feeling. SMB3 will blow you away, but World just feels like home. I prefer the latter.

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

I agree with this statement! But looking back now, even by Mario World, the concept of how Mario or any game series should exist was not yet "set" There just had not been enough time to allow for enough games to build up a standard of rules that each game will follow. If you look at the NEW Mario series, they are all essentially the same, but nowadays we are fine with that. Thanks for watching! 🦖

@Diwasho 3 года назад

World is not the most consistent feeling SMB, the ghost houses are more like a puzzle with extremely annoying enemies than a simple course from point A to point B and I don't like this format. I think Yoshi's Island was more comfy, it had a better balance between variation and consistency.

@Kurateesi 3 года назад

Those papercraft-looking 3D renders of SMW maps are amazing! Wish there was some kind of source or credit in the video or description. We had both World and All-Stars at home during my early childhood, and, with pretty much equal nostalgia for both SMW and the SNES-updated SMB3, World doesn't have that much going for it: the bosses are more interesting, there are some neat rotating platforms and such, and the map screen with secret exits and alternate routes is absolutely fantastic - but the basic platforming gameplay and level design of 3 always seemed more focused to me. The cape being intentionally broken in favor of the player is a bold choice, but I liked the super leaf and having to work for the ability to fly more.

@totalprocall6894 Год назад

As much as i loved Super Mario World, Mario Bros 3 just had more to it...more levels, more interesting enemies, the most amazing stage design, more varied music, more interesting items from power ups to warp items etc, and it did it way ahead of its time too. Mario Bros 3 will always stand as the greatest platform game ever made.

@Adamtendo_player_1 7 месяцев назад

Another thing as well, that made super Mario Bros 3 awesome, was that it was on the NES and overall Super Mario World as good as it was X it just wasn’t as impressive as Sonic but looking back now, Super Mario World is by far the better game.

If each game is $2 a night you'd need to rent it 20-25 times to break even, so I wonder how it all worked. I guess they made money because rentals were around for a while.

My personal history with these two games goes as follows: I was born in 1987 and my parents felt I was too young to have video games. So, I didn't get to enter the gamer world at all until as late as 1993! Super Mario World was not just my first Mario game, it was my first video game. I did not get an NES of my own until 1998, when a family friend gave me their kids now abandoned NES and games for Christmas (I was the kind of kid who was more interested in older media rather than new stuff, I am still like that to a degree really). Incidentally, along side SMB3 and others, it came with Final Fantasy and that game got me into JRPGs big time. I was thrilled to play the original SMB trilogy. Super Mario Bros. 3 very quickly found its place right next to Super Mario World in my heart. To this day, I consider them equals as the collective pinnacle of the Mario franchise.

I got the SNES with Super Mario World a month after it was released in Spain, in June 1992. It was my present for finishing 6th grade with good marks, I was 12 and it was the summer of the Olympics in Barcelona. Playing the SNES and Super Mario World for the first time also marked the beginning of the best summer of my life. I remember thinking the graphics were a bit meh when I saw screenshots in magazines, but playing it was a complete different thing. I was pretty much in love with it for a straight month, calling my best friend back then everyday several times a day to talk about it. He was also playing it, and we would share our new discoveries in the game. When he discovered the Star Road, he blew my mind. I remember finishing it first though hehehe, and calling him right after to rub it in. I went straight to his house the same day and we finished it together again. If those weren't the best times, nothing was, especially because when I finished SMW in July 92, another little game was coming to Barcelona, and to my home, in import form, and that was none other than Street Fighter II, my true unattainable (not anymore) obsession back in 92. Thank you for the video, it was a blast. So good as always. Edit: Super Mario World is the best 2D Mario game, no doubt. The key factor for me was that, the keys hahaha.

Funny about that comparison between World and 3, I'd argue that Mario 3 is a much more graphically impressive game. It really shows how well the developers knew the hardware and how to squeeze it's visual limits to the max. Everything feels so carefully laid out with it's colours and palette usage. World on the other hand really shows how the developers didn't really know what to do with the almost endless amount of colours the new system allowed for, making some really questionable decisions like Yoshi's orange arms. While I think the graphic design of the world and it's inhabitants in SMW is super solid, it just doesn't translate to the pixel art in the game itself, making it the uglier game.

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

That's a good argument. I think the jump to 16-bit and the graphical arms race made 8-bit feel outdated fast. though you're right, and I did say it, the best SNES games came later and the first games for anything rarely beat what comes later when people can max the machine out.

As an 80s kid who practically grew up with Nintendo SMW is my favorite Mario game all time and its purely for nostalgia reasons. I had an NES and played SMB, SMB2, and SMB3 but they never hooked me. They never made me so hungry to beat them that it's all I could think about doing when I got home or when I woke up. SMW did. I obsessed over beating that game and eventually I did. It's funny because I toiled so hard to beat the game and there were levels I just couldn't beat like the fortress in the lake, but as an adult I can dominate the game and complete all exits and star road in just a couple of hours. My skills and tastes have come a very long way and Mario just doesn't satisfy that anymore. But SMW will always hold a special place for me as the first game I ever truly beat.

After what felt like an eternity waiting for SMB3 to come out I wasn't all that interested in SMW at release. Yeah a neighbor got a SNES at launch and we spent many great afternoons playing through SMW but by that point my gaming tastes had drifted more towards RPGs. These days I appreciate the title a hell of a lot more.

Agreed. And the Mario 3 vs.4 part, the pro mario 3 part was written from the heart. I was in high school during 16 bit and not only did I have other interests, but there were more games and better games to play. And after Mario 3, some of the magic was just gone. Thanks for watching! 🦖

@@GTV-Japan never thought about it like that, but that's probably exactly why I never got into Mario Sunshine or Mario Kart Double Dash like I did the N64 titles. In the sixth gen, I got into different kinds of games so the N64 (and previous) Mario games remained the "magic" titles for me. Excellent video btw.

I couldn’t even tell you what Nintendo made after 1993. I have noooo idea!

Super Mario world has a special place in my nostalgic heart! 🎮 In the mid 90’s, I remember coming home from elementary school excited to fire up the SNES and play either Super Mario world, Paper Boy 2 or Winter Olympics 😂 Even in my mid twenties I was paying Super Mario world again but online. Oh the childhood memories 😢 My son is 3 and I was telling him about the SNES and Super Mario World. I wonder if he’ll like it?!

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

I’m sure he will! Thanks for sharing your memories 🦖🪶

This is, by far, the best history and legacy video of this great game on RU-vid. Thank You!!!

@GTV-Japan 2 года назад

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! 🦖

@vix_in_japan 2 года назад

Truly one of the best gaming channels I’ve discovered on RU-vid. Quality content and I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you for all your hard work.

Hey thanks! Glad to hear it! 🦖

@markus5862 3 года назад

Man, I hope you never stop making vids brother. The most informative and entertaining.so much quality Japanese footage too. I have a hard time picking my fave with this one or the doki doki video you made. Many thanks for the hard work

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

Thanks my friend! Nothing lasts forever, so enjoy it while you can. When the time does come to hang it up, I will give a proper goodbye and grand finale, but that won't be any time soon. 🦖

A true classic, even if I'm more of a SMB3 guy. You actually didn't mention the main deciding factor for me: The challenge. SMW is a terribly easy game due to the power-up holding on top of the ability to potentially re-mount Yoshi indefinitely after every hit you take. I tend to get bored easily playing it. I'd argue that it's at the opposite extreme of the difficulty spectrum from the Famicom SMB2 (aka Lost Levels). I prefer something closer to the middle. SMB3 threads that needle for me with its "goldilocks" level of challenge.

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

Ah now that is a good point. You can get through a stage with 3-4 hits while the older games, you didn’t have that luxury. Thanks for watching as always! 🦖

@coconut4219 3 года назад

I see what you mean. I didn't think of that! SMB3 is certainly a lot more challenging than SMW imo.

@sebbie_gonzo 3 года назад

Very true. By the end of the second world in SMW, it's possible to already rack up 99+ lives without even farming them.

@electron2601 2 года назад

Yeah imagine how hard Mario 3 would be of you only had three lives and couldn't get any 1 ups? It would be almost impossible to beat as a beginner gamer. At least Mario World, you have yoshi to take more hits and the cape feather to cheese the levels.

@user-nz8mx9ok9t Месяц назад

The Mario games got easier and easier as they went on. It's a shame, really. I miss them being hard. After Yoshi's Island, I haven't played any mainline Mario games. They've gotten too easy.

@mihaigabrielbabutia4595 2 года назад

The video is so nicely done that I watched it several times to catch up with all the details. As you said about Super Mario World, the replay-ability also applies to this video. Congratulations on your good work!

@GTV-Japan 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! I appreciate that!⭐️

@sksrobb 3 года назад

Another excellent video! The very first video I saw on your channel was your video on All Night Nippon; what I especially appreciate about all of your videos is that there is a tremendous depth of substance presented in a very engaging manner. Keep up the excellent work!

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

Thanks! All night Nippon was one of my favorites to make. Thanks for watching on November 21!

Great video as always! I was 13 years old when the SNES came out stateside a year later and I was blown away. We first rented the system and game before we bought it with money from our tax return.

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

Nice! It’s a shame the government takes your money by force or else you didn’t have to wait till April. You could have had it earlier!

@shanekimberlin 3 года назад

Hey, just wanted to say I'm blown away by the production of this retrospective. It's top-notch, something I could imagine being on PBS, The BBC, Netflix or Hulu. Informative, professional and very cohesive. A really good job.

@GTV-Japan 3 года назад

Thanks! I really left everything on the field for this one. If you have time why not check out some others and tell me what like. Thanks for watching and see ya later 🦖
