I shouldn't be surprised at how good it is, considering how highly regarded it is, and how I didn't really enjoy it all THAT much. I think it's down to how Mario games are generally fun and accessible, but games from 1988 are NEVER accessible (Super Mario Bros 3 largely included), so it just doesn't work as it should.
But it's still good though.
I've always known what happens in Super Mario World before I played it, and the same for the original Super Mario Bros, but I actually didn't really know what to expect beyond the first few levels. I certainly wasn't expecting Mario to receive a letter from Bowser saying "Yo!" before Mario goes to Hell, so that was a welcome surprise.
Also yeah I used rewind so there's that.
