SNS-MW-USA SUPER MARIO WORLD INSTRUCTION BOOKLET ______________________________________________________________________________ STORY After saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser and the rest of the Koopas in Super Mario 3, Mario and Luigi needed to recuperate from their adventures. Together they agreed that the best place to vacation was a magical place called Dinosaur Land. But while Mario and Luigi reclined on the beach for a relaxing nap, Princess Toadstool disappeared, apparently seized by evil forces. After searching for hours for their missing friend, Mario and Luigi came upon an enormous egg in the forest. Suddenly the egg hatched, and out popped a young dinosaur named YOSHI, who proceeded to tell Mario and Luigi a sad tale of how his dinosaur pals who were sealed in similar eggs by a group of monsterous turtles. "Monsterous turtles!," exclaimed Luigi. "Bowser and his bunch have returned!" Mario slowly nodded his head in agreement and, along with Luigi and Yoshi, set off across Dinosaur Land to find the Princess and to free Yoshi's friends. As they began their journey, Yoshi handed Mario a beautiful cape. "This may help you," Yoshi said. "Some say it has magical powers." With a little luck (and help from a magic cape), our hearty crew can defeat the seven worlds of Bowser's Krazy Koopa Kritters. Many locations are well-hidden so explore everywhere and try everything. Not all locations have to be explored to rescue the dinosaurs and save Princess Toadstool, but there are many "starry" treasures to be found in far-reaching places. You'll need to search all areas to find out what kinds of treasure are there... in Super Mario World. 2 ______________________________________________________________________________ CONTROLLER OPERATION You can use either of the Super NES COntroller sockets.

The demo screen shown at the right will appear. Press the START Button (or the B or Y Button) and Save Slots for Mario A, Mario B, and Mario C will appear. (See page 11 for details.) Use the Control Pad or SELECT to choose one of the slots and also whether it is a 1-player or 2-player game. Then press START to start the game. The game consists of map screens and action screens. * MAP SCREEN The game begins at Yoshi's house. Move Mario (or Luigi) by using the Control Pad. At first, mario can only go left or right from Yoshi's house. However, once Mario has cleared some of the areas, he will be able to move farther along. Now, go for it! 5 ______________________________________________________________________________ If you wish to see the rest of the map, press the START button and use the Control Pad to scroll the screen. Press the START Button again to return to where you were. (Note: this can't be done in World 1 but can be done in most later worlds.) Some points on the map are red. These areas have a normal goal and a special goal (or secret keyhole). If you find the special goal, a new route will appear on the map. Many of these new routes can be used as a shortcut. * ACTION SCREEN Press the B or Y Button while on the map to enter an area. If you can get Mario to the end of the goal safely, the area will be cleared. Once an area is cleared, you can return there as many times as you wish. (except for the castles and fortresses, which you can only finish once.) If you go into an area that has already been cleared, you can return to the map screen by pressing START, then SELECT. 6 ______________________________________________________________________________ LOSING MARIOS When you lose all of your Marios, your game is over. You lose one Mario: * When Small Mario is touched or bitten by an enemy. * When Mario falls into a hole. * When Mario does not reach the goal before the timer reaches zero. * When Mario gets pushed off the screen (in the automatic scrolling areas). If you are Fire Mario, Caped Mario or Super Mario, being touched or bitten by an enemy will transform you back to Small Mario. COINS [Small coin with a "1" on it] Gather 100 regular coins and you'll earn an extra Mario. [Large coin with Yoshi's face on it] Gather 5 Dragon Coins in 1 course and you'll earn an extra Mario. Dragon coins also count as regular coins. ITEM STOCK Sometimes when you hit a block while travelling through the course, items that give Mario more power will appear. If you take an item while Mario already has extra power, the item will be stocked at the top of the screen, but only one item can be held in stock. When Mario is running out of power, the stocked item will automatically drop down. You my press the SELECT Button to make the item drop down when you want it to. If Super Mario gets a Fire Flower or Cape Feather, he'll gain more power, and the Super Mushroom will be added to the stock. When Fire Mario takes a Cape Feather that is in stock ro when Caped Mario takes a Fire Flower that is in stock, you can swap items. The process of gaining more power will be explained later. [Red msuhroom] Super Mushroom [Flower] Fire Flower [Feather] Cape Feather 7 ______________________________________________________________________________ MIDWAY GATE AND GOAL There is a gate in the middle of the course like the one in the screen to the right. This is called a Midway Gate. If you break the tape at this gate, even if you lose a life before reaching your goal, you can restart from the Midway Gate. And, if Small Mario cuts the rope, he'll become Super Mario! A moving Giant Gate awaits you at the Goal. Time it right so that if you break the tape while it is high in the air and you'll get Gold Stars corresponding to that height. If you collect 100 Gold Stars you get to play a bonus game where you can get more Marios. And if Mario can make it to the goal while on Yoshi's back, they'll start out on the next course together. BONUS GAME Hit all the rotating item blocks from beneath. The idea is to get a row of blocks with the same picture to win an Extra 1-Up Mushroom. It's just like tic-tac-toe! [Green Mushroom] Extra Mario Mushroom You get an extra Mario for every one of these you receive. 8 ______________________________________________________________________________ 2-PLAYER GAME In the 2-player game, Player 1 (with controller 1) is Mario and Player 2 (with Controller 2) is Luigi. Player 1 and Player 2 take turns in clearing the action screen panels. When only Controller 1 is connected to the Super NES, both players can take turns using the Controller. If both controllers are connected to the Super NES, then one of the players can control Mario, and the other player can control Luigi. If one player fails to clear a course, it is the other player's turn. When a player enters the course in which the other player has reached the Midway Gate, that player also starts the course from a point near the Midway Gate. (See "Midway Gate" on page 8) TRANSFERRING EXTRA PLAYERS If you press the L or R Button at the map screen, the screen on the right will appear. This screen also appears if one of the players finishes the game. When this appears, you can give some of your Marios (or Luigis) to the other player. When you're only using one controller, press the B Button to give one of Luigi's lives to Mario; press the A Button to give one of Mario's lives to Luigi. When you're using two controllers, player 2 (with Controller 2) can press the B Button to give one of Luigi's lives to Mario and the Y Button to give one of mario's lives to Luigi. Press the START Button to return to the original screen. 9 ______________________________________________________________________________ SAVING YOUR PROGRESS When you clear areas like a castle, fortress or haunted house, the following choices will appear on the map screen: * Continue and Save * Continue Without Save If you choose to continue and save, the route up to that point will be saved in the Save Slot you selected at the Title Screen. Once your selection has been saved, it doesn't matter if you switch the POWER switch OFF, because it is saved on the Game Pak. If you want to end the game in the same status as you started, select CONTINUE WITHOUT SAVE and the continue the game. (Your extra Marios will not be saved.) When the game is over, the following choices will appear on the map screen: * Continue * End if you select "End", you'll return to the Title Screen. If you select "Continue," you'll begin on the course immediately after the last saved point. When all three save slots have been used, you can delete the data in one of the slots by selecting "Delete Saved Route" at the Title Screen. And after selecting and and restarting a save slot, you can choose to play the game as a 1-player game or a 2-player game. (The number displayed in the save slot is the number of areas you've found up to the point when you saved.) This game pak has a battery backup function to record the progress of the game. WARNING: If the POWER switch is switched ON and OFF repeatedly, the accumulated contents may be deleted. Also, avoid turning off the POWER switch unnecessarily (before saving the game) or data may be lost. 10 ______________________________________________________________________________ SPECIAL MARIO CONTROLS Increasing Mario's Power Mario ----------- Feather ----------- | \ | | \ | Fire Mushroom | Flower \ | | Super Mario | | / \ | | Fire Flower Feather | | / \ | | / \ | Fire ---------- Fire Flower ------ Caped Mario ---------- Feather ---------- Mario This differs from previous Super Mario Brothers Game Paks.

Basic Ways of Defeating The Enemy Stomping On An Enemy (Some really TOUGH Hitting A Block From Below enemies can't be stomped on.) You can throw fire balls when mario becomes Fire Mario. Enemies that have been hit by fire turn into coins. However, there are some enemies that can't be destroyed by fire. 14 ______________________________________________________________________________ Caped Mario This is used to spin Mario's cape to defeat enemies.

You can defeat several nearby enemies by making the ground shake by slamming the ground in a fast dive. 16 ______________________________________________________________________________ First, jump to climb on Yoshi's back. While riding Yoshi the basic operations are the same as when operating Mario. Acceleration Jump Dismounting Mario [LEFT or RIGHT + Y] [B] [A] When Caped mario is riding Yoshi, you can fly into the air by accelerating, then jumping. Mario's cape won't open when you hold down the Y and B Button, but he will glide. If you hold down just the B Button, you can make a slow landing. Eating [Y] If you press the Y Button, Yoshi's tongue will dart out to eat berries and enemies. (Match the position of the berry with Yoshi's mouth, and he will automatically eat it.) Spitting [Y] It's difficult for Yoshi to eat hard objects such as turtle shells. So when Yoshi has a hard item like a shell in his mouth, press the Y Button and he'll spit it out. If he eats red shells, he'll spit out a bunch of fireballs, which can be really handy against a group of foes! If Yoshi eats a yellow shell, he will make a sand cloud when he bounces off the ground. If an enemy is hit by this sand cloud, it will be defeated. Yoshi can also spit the shell out at his enemies. When Yoshi eats blue shells, he can fly if the B Button is pressed. Flying in The Air [B] Press the B Button repeatedly. 17 ______________________________________________________________________________ * If shells are left in Yoshi's mouth for a long time, Yoshi will swallow them after awhile. If this happens, Yoshi can no longer do the amazing things he can when he holds them in his mouth. * If an enemy hits Yoshi when Mario is on Yoshi's back, you won't lose Mario or any strength; however, Yoshi will run away. If this happens, you'd better chase him will all your might, because if Yoshi falls off a cliff or into a hole, he'll be gone for sure. The Legend Of The Colored Yoshis Somewhere in the land of dragons, there are three different-colored Yoshis hiding. At first, they are little kids. So, you must feed them something so they grow. If you feed them five enemies, they'll grow into a big Yoshi. The little Yoshi's specialities are different than big Yoshi's specialities. Red Yoshi Red Yoshi always spits out fire balls, whatever the color of the shells in his mouth. Blue Yoshi Blue Yoshi can fly for a fixed length of time, whatever the color of the shells in his mouth. Yellow Yoshi Yellow Yoshi throws out sand clouds for a fixed length of time when he jumps, whatever the color of the shells in his mouth. 18 ______________________________________________________________________________ YOSHI'S ISLAND Fortress There are dinosaurs called Renzor waiting in all four fortresses. No doubt they have been put under a terrible spell by Koopa. They'll do anything for him, so watch out! Haunted House The inside of this old wooden house is dark, scary, and swarming with ghosts and spirits. What's more, the door is nearly impossible to find. So you're going to need to put on your thinking caps to escape from here. Yoshi's House This is the starting point for the game but the house is empty. It looks like the elusive Yoshi has gone out. You better look for him and look quickly! By the way, Yoshi was first discovered on Yoshi's Island, that's how he got his name. The Castles Within seven castles, the Koopa Kids each hold one of Yoshi's friends captive inside an egg. There are lots of traps waiting for you when you try to get through the kids' rooms. What's more, the kids will come at you with a variety of attacks. Exploring these fortresses is enough to drive you crazy! IGGY MORTON LEMMY LUDWIG ROY WENDY LARRY 19 ______________________________________________________________________________ Mysterious Sunken Ship This is a strange looking sunken ship. Haven't you seen it somewhere else before? That's right, in Super Mario Bros. 3, Koopa and his kids used a flying ship to make life tough for Mario. I wouldn't be surprised if Bowser is lurking somewhere nearby. 20 ______________________________________________________________________________ KEYHOLES Secret Keyholes were also mentioned on page 8. From the Donut Plains onwards, many course points are red. All these course points are hidden different goals and keyholes as shown here. Keys USUALLY lay next to the keyhole. If Mario takes a key and moves over the keyhole, he can exit the course to another area. If Mario is on Yoshi when he finds the key, they can move over the keyhole with Yoshi holding the key in his mouth. STAR ROAD WOW! What's this place? Find this star on the map screen and you know you've come to a strange place! But don't worry, if you can solve this puzzle, something good is bound to happen. Switch Palace Jump on the big switch here and the yellow blocks with dotted lines in the middle of the course will change to exclamation blocks. This makes it easier to clear the course. The switch palaces come in three other colors; you will definately want to find these. Dotted Line -> Exclaimation Block Mark Block 21 ______________________________________________________________________________ SPECIAL ITEMS AND BLOCKS (Warning: There are many more surprises that aren't listed here!) Super Star Egg They make Mario invincible. There's always something fun inside these! 3-Up Moon Berry This will give Mario three extra lives. You will gain an extra Mario if you feed Yoshi enough of these.

Message Block Bonus Block This gives you hints and advice during If you get 30 coins in one course, the game. punch it to get an extra Mario mushroom. 22 ______________________________________________________________________________ CHARACTERS IN DINOSAUR LAND Koopa The same old Koopas are back again. Everything seems bleak when these characters appear! If you jump on a Koopa in this game, it pops out of its shell. And what's worse is that an unshelled Koopa will eventually find its empty shell and climb back in to start all over again. BEWARE! If a Koopa climbs into a yellow shell, he'll become invinsible! Super Koopa A Koopa can fly once it has put on this magic cape. It looks like this guy might give Caped Mario some tough aerial combat. But look at the bright side... if you jump on one that's wearing a flashing cape, you'll get a Cape Feather. Jumpin' Poranha Plant These are a tropical plant version of the Volcano Plant! Be careful; they come madly whirling out of the pipes and can be very tough. Goomba Jump on it to make it roll. You can also hold it or throw it. Monty Mole This is a mole that bursts out of the ground. There's even bigger ones underground. 23 ______________________________________________________________________________ Boo Buddies The Big Boo You may remeber the Boo Buddies from Super Mario Bros. 3. This time there is a whole horde of them! And amongst them there's a huge spook named The Big Boo. But, don't worry, if you look at them, they act shy and turn away. Cute, aren't they? But watch it ... they're dangerous! Eeries This is a dinosaur spook that roams the haunted house. It comes after you with its pale face and ohhhh, what a ghastly spook it is! Rip Van FIsh This little fellow is always taking a nap, but when Mario comes along, he wakes up, and sets off in a hot pursuit. Whatever you do, don't let Rip touch mario. Urchin This is a giant urchin drifting in the sea. It doesn't move very fast, so if you swim by carefully, there should be no problem. However, it's probably really painful if you get stung. Dolphin Don't worry, these guys are not enemies; they help Mario cross water. A useful shoal of dolphin look alikes! 24 ______________________________________________________________________________ Rex As one would suspect, you could only meet this kind of enemy in Dinosaur land, and there are lots of them too. You have to stomp on Rex twice to defeat him. Rex has wings, but I don't think he can fly. Mini-Rhino Dino-Rhino These are dragons from Chocolate Island. Jump on Dino-Rhino and it becomes Mini-Rhino. Watch out, they breath fire. Bob-omb These explode and scatter stars after a set time. Some of the Bob-ombs use parachutes to drop from the sky. These little guys are a real blast. Thwomp A nasty stone ghost that guards the castles and fortresses for the Koopas. If Mario comes close, Thwomp will try to crush him. The trouble is, if you don't you can't go on. Wiggler A caterpillar that lives in the forest. Normally, Wiggler is very quiet, but once jumped on, Wiggler turns red and gets extremely angry. If possible, treat Wiggler with respect. 25 ______________________________________________________________________________ Magikoopas This is one of the tortoise sorcerers. The starnge flashes of light that shoot from the wand are able to change blocks into enemies. On top of this, Magikoopas can appear and disappear in an instant. A tough customer to deal with! Sumo Brother When this strange little fellow stomps his foot, lightning strikes, and turns whatever it hits into a sea of flames. BEWARE! Sumo Brotherwill even attack you with a karate chop! Chargin' Chuck These All-Stars always seem to bar Mario's way just when he's within sight of the goal. They use a variety of bull-headed attacks, so you'll really have a tough time checking Chargin' Chuck. 26 ______________________________________________________________________________ IGGY KOOPA MORTON KOOPA JR.
