Episode 65:

There's So Many Ways To Go!

Runtime: 60 Minutes

We take a look back at Super Mario World, released for the SNES in November of 1990 and brought stateside in 1991. We talk about the development process, looking back to an early build of the game published in a Japanese magazine and talking about all the differences in the development process, including art and game mechanics. We talk about our own experiences with the game, and discuss the legacy it left behind. Its all things Super Mario as we take today's weird dinosaur riding trip down Memory Card Lane.
