Super Mario World was ported to the Game Boy Advance as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 in 2002. This version of Super Mario World adds a handful of features, such as Peach Coins and differences in jumping ability between Mario and Luigi. It has been re-released as a Player's Choice title. It can be considered a port of the All Stars version. Super Mario World is a platform game developed and published by Nintendo Co., Ltd. as a pack-in launch title for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

It has gone on to become a tremendous critical and commercial success, becoming the best

seller for the platform, with 20 million copies sold worldwide. Like in previous games in the Mario series, the plot involves Mario traversing through different lands on a quest to rescue Princess Toadstool, who has been kidnapped by Bowser. (Wikipedia)

Secrets

Decorative Stars
For every one-million points you get in Super Mario World mode, a star will appear on the main menu screen next to the ''top score'' display.

NOTE: The maximum amount of stars you can get is 5.

Easy Lives
Play through the games and as quickly as you can get to the Star Worlds. Now go to Star World 4 and get the yoshi now either complete the mission with Yoshi. Now Go back to that level with yoshi and go back to the egg and get the 1-up and then press START and go back and do then level again to get more lives. Repeat As Needed

Extra Levels From Star Road
If you find and complete the alternate (key) exits in all Star Road levels, you will unlock a set of special levels accessible from the mountain in the middle of the main Star Road map.

Extra life at finish
When your time has twice the same digit repeated at the end and it's the same as the tens of your stars total you'll get a extra life for free!!!

Example:

With 39 stars, beat the stage with your time ending in 33.

Hear the Original Mario Bros. music.
Go to the special levels (place with Tubular, Groovy, etc.) Still on the world map, leave the game alone for a few minutes and you'll hear the music change.

High Score Records
Once you complete the Special World, you will be able to save your high scores in the Special World levels.

Instant Warp
Once you've cleared all 96 Goals, you will then be able to warp to any point on the map via the Status Screen. On the Map Screen, press Select to access the Status Screen. You will now see a little white arrow to the left of each course name. Choose a course and press A. Mario (or Luigi) will be automatically warped to that part of the world map. This will save lots of time trudging from one part of the map to the next. Enjoy!

Make Super Famicom logo appear in Special Worlds
Complete the special worlds (The world with SPECIAL written across the top) and the Super Famicom logo will appear across the top of the Special World Map. You will have to press L and make the screen scroll up to see the logo.

New Intro
Beat the game (defeat Bowser) and the intro changes from the usual 'find the princess is missing, play scary music' to a sequence where you see the princess riding on a Yoshi with another Yoshi carrying a picnic basket.

Re-Do Fortresses and Castles
Once you beat the game you will be able to re-do Fortresses and Castles.

Secret Level
At the first Ghost House, have a feather. Go backwards instead of forward and fly up to the sky. Continue on the platform in the sky until the end of the level where there will be a new exit. Go through the exit to unlock an extra level which you can stock up on unlimited mushrooms, fireballs, feathers, lives, and Yoshi.

Yoshi Coins to Princess Coins
To change all the Yoshi Coins to Princess Coins, collect all five Yoshi Coins from each level. After you collect them all, watch the in-game movie to see the coins change.

Here's the game's opening sequence:
