It's a Magical World...

Did a playthrough of Super Mario World a while back...
Almost forgot that I captured several hundred images.

A few favorite moments:




Underwater Ghost-Fortress.
Truly a level from hell.








Not a fan of the new "standard" Boo Diddly face...
But I do like the many faces of the Boo Buddies.







Knockin' Lakitu off his cloud





Still get a kick out of names like "Cheese Bridge", "Butter Bridge" and "Soda Lake".
Reminds me that I gotta re-stock the fridge.









World 6 (aka Chocolate Isand) seems to have the largest abundance of dinosaurs.
With very little vegetation, you may find a Triceratops eating a Twix bar.
(or possibly roasting s'mores)






Gettin' a sneak peak at Bowser's castle via secret areas (via World 2 and World 6).
As far as I know, this was unprecedented in Mario games.







More ghosties in the sunken Doom Ship.




(For those fascinated with shipwrecks, see the first worlds of Donkey Kong Country 2)







Just love that mystical MagiKoopa (aka Kamek).
Making his debut here in Super Mario World, he'd become a major antagonist in SMW2.
He was also slated to appear in "Mario Kart R" which evolved into Mario Kart 64.

(Let's spontaneously start a rumor that Mario Kart R featured some explicit footage of Princess Peach deemed inappropriate for younger players)
