Super Mario World

One of the finest Mario games of all time is even more impressive when you consider it was included free with every Super NES at launch. The launch title for Nintendo's new system also occurred to be a hugely popular sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3. Yoshi, a dinosaur mount with his own set of abilities like as fire-breathing and a powerful ground stomp, was introduced to fans in Super Mario World.

When he wasn't riding the green dino, Mario could fly utilizing the new cape power-up, discover a wealth of secret passages, and battle a slew of foes. So much of Mario World has become synonymous with the Mario franchise that it's easy to forget it's where players got so many classic elements—not just Yoshi, but also characters like Chargin' Chuck (who just took up golf) and Magikoopa.
