As I said before, it took months to get through the game the first time. However, in the nearly two decades since then I've been through quite a number of times, and has added another layer of appeal to me: It's one of the few games where I really feel like an expert. Not a set-a-speed-record type of expert, but I know what the game wants and how to give it to it. I'm fine with doing a crazy flight maneuver or two, carrying items up beanstalks, or ditching Yoshi for the best jump potential. It's my element. Now I can take the quickest route to the end in under a half hour, or get the full 96 with a few more hours--though I haven't done it straight through or specifically timed myself. Of course, ROM hacks with new levels can still trip me up. But come on guys, putting a bunch of Bullet Bills and baseball throwers together is just being a dick! | As I said before, it took months to get through the game the first time.

Possibly my most exciting Christmas gift ever. Christmas [[1991]], I unwrapped Super Mario World and freaked out, knowing a remaining larger box must be the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] itself. This was completely unexpected. Shortly before my dad had brought up the topic of whether I would want an SNES or Game Boy more. Though I was pretty hot for SNES, my answer was Game Boy since my practical side said I already had ''something'' to play at home, but ''nothing'' for while away. | |||
