Super Mario World 3: Return to Dinosaur World

Not to be confused with Super Mario World 3: Back to the Island, although their names suggest the same feel.
Super Mario World 3: Return to Dinosaur World is the true sequel to Super Mario World (since Super Mario World 2 was more of a prequel). Many characters, items, enemies, and bosses return, along with some new ones.
==Story==
The game begins when Mario receives a letter from the Yoshi King. The letter text is below.
Dear Mario,
Dinosaur Land is under attack! Please come here! Bowser's also kidnapped the princess.
Signed,
The Yoshi King
Mario then makes his way to Mushroom Dock. He then boards a cruise ship headed for Dinosaur Land Harbour.
However, the cruise ship is attacked by Bowser's minions. After Mario rescues the captain from the minions, the cruise ship finally docks at Yoshi's Island.
==Gameplay==
The game plays out like any other Mario Platformer, but several features have returned and been added like the ones below:
Bosses: Boom Boom, Bowser, the canon seven Koopalings, and Bowser Jr.
===New Items===
Bomb Shroom: Bomb Shrooms aren't like Bomb Flowers. Instead of transforming, you can pick them up and throw them at enemies to attack.
The Yoshi Powerups from Super Mario Galaxy 2 return, along with the Yoshi shell abilities from Super Mario World, but there are two new Yoshi Fruits.
Giga Grape: Swallowing this will make Yoshi gigantic, giving him the effects of Mega Mario.
Chill Cherry: Eating this will allow Yoshi to freeze swallowed enemies. He can gain the effect of this fruit by swallowing a white Koopa.
However, picking up items Super Mario Bros 2 style has been added, but you can still stomp on enemies.
Boom Boom is the boss in every tower.
Some levels have fake flagpoles that break when you touch them.

Just before you enter the Valley of Bowser, an airship brings you up to the Dino Heights.
World 7: Dino Heights. Bowser Jr has set up the Doomship here to guard the Valley of Bowser in this new world.
World 8: Valley of Bowser. Of course, Bowser is here. This world has 2 castles and 2 fortresses. One is ruled by Kamek, the other is ruled by Bowser.
The shortcut worlds can be unlocked by fufilling certain conditions in some levels. Below is where they are.
Icy Mountain: You can get here by finding an alternate path in the Vanilla Dome. Chief Chilly is ruling over this world.
Desert Island: Unlock this by finding Chocolate Island's secret cannon. The Pokey King is ruling this world.
Donkey Kong Island: You can find this secret world by collecting special bananas in a level at Yoshi's Island. You fight Donkey Kong here in the style of Mario's first game, known as Donkey Kong!
Chomp Factory: You can get here by finding the secret underground passage in the Valley of Bowser. The King Golden Chomp controls this factory!
There are 2 worlds you get after beating Bowser.
Toad Town: You can get a cruise ship here from Yoshi's Island. Petey Piranha has attacked this place.
Boo Woods: You can get here after beating Petey Piranha. King Boo controls this place.
After you beat Boo Woods, Star Road may be visited. You can warp to worlds easier with Star Road.
==Secrets==
When you beat the game, you unlock 16-bit mode. It lets you play the game with Super Mario World graphics but it is harder. For example, there are no midway points, enemies will require 1 more hit to defeat, Yoshi is rare, and there are no Starmen! 16-bit mode's graphics do apply to the multiplayer modes and the Level Creator, but not the features.
==Level Creator==
After you beat Larry at Yoshi's Island, you unlock the Level Creator. You can create different levels with this mode and share them via Nintendo WFC. You unlock more elements as you complete each world.
==Multiplayer==
The game offers 4-Player action with these characters: Mario, Luigi, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and a Luma.
===Modes===
Free for All: This is just like the main game.
Star Battle: You battle for Stars like in New Super Mario Bros.
Coin Battle: You try to complete the level with the most coins.
Survival: See if you can beat the level without losing a life! There are no ways to earn 1-Ups, and you only have one life.
Super Mario Battle: Fight each other with items, Yoshi, and other things to deplete each other's HP! Enemies are on stages to make it harder.
You can also play these modes via Nintendo WFC.
==Coin Rush==
Coin Rush reappears, but with several changes:
*It now has a multiplayer mode, with players working together to collect coins.
*You may choose which courses you want to do, or you can randomize it.
==Minigames==
The game possesses several minigames you can play alone or with other people:
*Time Trials: Complete a random level, and beat your time.
*Yoshi Frenzy: See how many enemies and fruits you can swallow with Yoshi before the timer runs out!
*Nabbit Chase: Hunt down Nabbit in three random levels, and see if you can catch him!
==DLC==
If you connect to Nintendo WFC, you can download custom levels, bonus worlds, and more stuff.
==Re-Release==
The game was later released for Wii U as Super Mario World 3: Return to Dinosaur Land: Wii U Edition. The Wii U edition uses the GamePad and Pro Controllers, and has a bonus world, being the Minus World. The Minus World is extremely hard to beat, and has devilishly difficult levels. There is no boss, but instead, you have to rebattle every single boss, and they are much harder to defeat.
==Notes==
*If you preordered the game, you get an exclusive green Wii Remote with the game.
*The False Bowser in the final level is a reference to Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, where this also happened.
