The Story


"Mario and Luigi needs to recuperate from their adventures after saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser and the rest of the Koopas in Super Mario 3. Brothers both agreed that Dinosaur Land, a magical place, is the best place for some vacation.


But as Mario and Luigi reclined on the beach taking a relaxing nap, they heard that Princess Toadstool disappeared being seized by some evil forces. After Mario and Luigi searching for hours for their missing friend, they came upon an enormous egg in the forest.


Yoshi, a young dinosaur had been popped out as soon as the egg hatched, proceeded to tell Mario and Luigi a sad tale about on how his dinosaur pals were sealed in a similar eggs by a group of monstrous turtles.


"Monstrous turtles!"  Luigi asserted. "Bowser returned with his bunch have returned!" Mario nodded his head slowly as he agreed. Along with Luigi and Yoshi, they, set off across Dinosaur Land to find and rescue the Princess and to free Yoshi's friends. As they started their voyage, a beautiful cape was handed by Yoshi to Mario and told him that the cape might be helpful in their adventure because some says it has some magical powers.”


With a little luck and help from a magic cape, our brave crew can now defeat the seven worlds of Bowser's Krazy Koopa Kritters. Lots of locations are well-hidden, so you must explore everywhere and try everything. But not all locations have to be explored in order to rescue the dinosaurs and save Princess Toadstool. There are lots of starry treasures that can be found in far-reaching places if players will reach into it. In Super Mario World, you will need to search all the areas and excitingly find out what kinds of treasure are in there... in Super Mario World."
