Found on: smwc
Difficulty: 5

Mario has returned to Dinosaur Land after his first visit a few years ago. Yoshi has expanded his territory, discovering many new areas, and has invited Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach to come and visit. With the Princess arriving a day earlier, Mario arrives alone to Yoshi’s House and realizes something is very, very wrong.

This game is a sequel to the original Super Mario World, playing like a traditional Mario game mixing action with platforming, along with the occasional gimmick or puzzle.

This demo features:

  • Worlds 1-3, and part of 4.
  • Vanilla graphics & Custom Music
  • Custom Sprites and ASM for creative level design
  • Auto-save feature, no need for save-states

As of 05/13/2016, the demo has moved from v1.03 to v1.04.
