Princess and central story character · Mushroom Kingdom

Peach joins the holiday in Dinosaur Land that becomes the original Super Mario World rescue adventure. The Koopalings and Bowser supply the main conflict while Mario and Luigi move through courses, castles and secret routes.

  • Story: Her rescue forms the main ending objective, while Yoshi’s world and the hidden routes support a wider exploration goal. Finishing the final Bowser encounter does not require every one of the 96 exits.
  • In the game: Use the world route and castle progression to follow the rescue story. Keep secret exits, Switch Palaces and Special Zone progress on their own checklist when pursuing full completion.

From the game

Princess Toadstool, from her sprite in the ending

Pictures drawn from the Super Mario World (SNES) game data: sprites are assembled from their tiles the way the game draws them, in the palette of a level they appear in; blocks, coins and berries are built from their 16×16 level-tile definitions with the animated tiles in place; maps show the overworld’s terrain layer (the level tiles and paths on its other layer are not in the asset export). Animation timing is approximate.
