Super Mario World localization prototype shared
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Forest of Illusion has secured a little piece of Nintendo history having shared a prototype build from the localized version of Super Mario World. It has a date of October 25, 1990, which was nearly a year before the game launched in North America.
A number of debugging features are included, which made localization easier for developers. For instance, Mario can access any point of the map without completing the previous stage. Also, when the timer hits zero, he doesn’t die. Other features include being able to instantly complete a level, toggling between different colored Yoshis, cycling through power-ups inside a stage, and moving Mario anywhere on the screen.

Mario was originally punching Yoshi in Super Mario World

Other than some concept art, the Super Mario World interview on Nintendo’s Japanese website with some of its original developers also reveals some fascinating tidbits about the game. One especially interesting part is about Mario and Yoshi – specifically, what exactly is Mario doing with his hand just before Yoshi sticks his tongue out?
Due to the graphical limitations of the SNES, it was never really clear if Mario points at something and tells Yoshi to go get it – or if he hits him on the head, which causes Yoshi to stick his tongue out in surprise. Turns out it was originally the latter, but it was officially changed to the former via some official artwork (though it’s still ambiguous with the in-game sprites). Here’s what Shigefumi Hino, who was the Character Graphic Designer on Super Mario World and who created Yoshi, had to say about it:

A look at early Yoshi for Super Mario World
Posted on 7 years ago by Nick in News | 3 Comments
In a recent interview about the SNES Classic Edition developer interview they covered Super Mario World. In the interview we got some images of some original sprite work and a very noseless Yoshi. There are also a few other notable sprites including the red magic balloon and the different Hammer Bros. I can’t tell if Yoshi looks more adorable or horrifying in its original sprites.
