One of the many great titles on the Super Nintendo, and certainly one of the best Mario games. Everything here feels like a natural progression from Super Mario Bros. 3, with thematic regions, a new flying powerup, and secrets that allowed for streamlined travel around the map. This was a great game to grow up with as a kid, too. It's challenging without being too hard if you stick to the straightforward path, and it's got a charming and colorful art style that I found appealing. Oh, and you get a cool dinosaur friend!
