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.
