Super Mario World | Jumping into a New Generation

The sadbois are jumping back into the SNES era with arguably one of the most popular launch titles in Nintendo's history: Super Mario World!

In a time where Nintendo was the definitive console KING for years, the company finds itself at a crossroads: reinvent the Nintendo Entertainment System, or get swept away by the competition.

Super Mario World's development history is smack dab in the middle of this new challenge as developers like rockstar Shigeru Miyamoto and his ragtag team look at how they can bring everybody's favourite plumber into the 16-bit generation.

Will the newest game in the historic series stand toe-to-toe to the new kids on the block like Sega, or is it all just a pipe dream?

Listen to find out!
