Asset Description

Overview & Authentication

·Nintendo is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company founded in 1889 which remains a one of the highest-grossing video game companies in the world.

·The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) was released in the US on August 23, 1991, becoming the first successor to the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

·The character of Mario was created by Japanese graphic artist Shigeru Miyamoto, who originally introduced the character as “Jumpman” in the first Donkey Kong video game.

·The first Super Mario Bros. video game was released as one of the original 17 “Black Box” games made for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) during the original release in 1985.

·Nintendo released Super Mario Bros. 2 in the U.S. in September 1988.

·Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in the U.S. for the NES in 1990, going on to sell more than 17 million copies.

·Super Mario World was the first Super Mario title to be released for the SNES. It is a follow up to Super Mario Bros. 3, but the SNES title introduced advanced graphics, sound, and more complex controls. The game follows Mario, and his brother Luigi, as they adventure through Dinosaur Land in what has become the most celebrated Super Mario game of the 16-bit era.

·Super Mario World was released on August 23, 1991. It sold 20.5 million copies, making it the bestselling game for the SNES.

·While Super Mario World is considered the best-selling game for the SNES, in most cases it came as a loose cartridge bundled with the SNES console, so copies of the box that sold individually without the console are rarer than the cart-only console bundled variant.

·Player’s Choice logo appeared on later editions of Super Mario World. These SNES versions were released for titles that sold at least one million copies.

·Super Mario World was the first Mario game to introduce the popular character, “Yoshi,” a dinosaur Mario interacts with. The character was conceived before Super Mario World, but the NES was not powerful enough to have a secondary character Mario could ride on, and hop off of, at any given time.

·In September of 1991, a Super Mario World cartoon series was released by DIC Entertainment. The plot was primarily taken from the SNES title of the same name. The series followed Mario, his brother Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Yoshi the dinosaur as they battled the nefarious King Koopa.

·Super Mario World was re-released alongside several other remastered NES titles in Super Mario All Stars, which was the second bestselling SNES game of all time, selling more than 10 million copies.

·In 2018, IGN named Super Mario World the greatest video game ever made.
