Perhaps Nintendo decided to omit World because it requires the classic controller?

It would be pretty annoying as a customer not in the know to boot up world and be asked to play with a peripheral that did not come with the machine, and one which I may not want to purchase for any other reason.

Its a sore point for us lot, but I guess it makes sense on a wider scale.

Besides, I bet most of us had World downloaded the moment it hit the Virtual Console.

This is really lame... I would expect something like this to given away via Club Nintendo... not sold as a retail game. Why not just release it on the VC? I can't believe people get excited for stuff like this, it's like wearing "Please Rape Me" speedos before taking a shower in prison.

Super Mario World wasn't on all versions of All Stars, certainly not on the intial releases of it...

I think its a shame that they didn't do a more ambitious collection though.

What the fuck, Super Mario World was on some All Star releases? It's not on mine, I have a seperate cartridge.

It definitely was released in the UK as I've got a copy in my cupboard, but I think it was only as a part of late console bundles.

I have absolutely no interest in the 3DS.

Well if it came with New Super Mario Brothers instead I'd be inclined to buy that XL. It's really too bad I don't enjoy racing games.

Yup, they even gave Luigi his own unique sprite in it.

isnt the all-stars version of mario world missing some graphics? certain background elements were removed to allow it to fit on the cart. there's a webpage with tons of interesting mario stuff that has info on it but i cant remember what it's called.

I own both Mario Kart DS and NSMB already, so the game bundled doesn't mean much to me. Probably will give it to someone for Christmas.

The system itself though is incredibly slick, I must have it.

I don't really let the impending release of a new platform hinder my desires for one of the newer iterations of a current platform. But that's just me being weird, as I never buy new systems to play games from older, previous platform releases. I'd rather be sold on the new games exclusive to the new platform instead of older titles. :p

It is very slick, and I could justify getting another DS to myself more if it came out with a game I'd enjoy. If it comes out with a different game from another retailer I'll jump on it fast.

I got a copy of All-Stars + World bundled with my UK SNES way long ago. It was awesome.

Nope, it's identical (apart from luigi graphics on SMW). Big SMW hacker here.

I remember getting "Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World" with a "Mario Set" bundle the Christmas of '94 (US SNES). Even came with a mail in offer for a free 2nd controller. Saved me from the 32X fiasco, that's for sure! (32X or SNES; kinda obvious decision) :lol

They didn't change anything in Mario World to fit the cart, except for Luigi's sprite, which for all purposes, was an improvement IMO.

bundling MKDS with the limited edition DSi XL looks very random.
at least NSMB makes sense.

i guess that's NOA for you. masters of the half-ass neo art.

also, am i the only one who never noticed the different luigi sprite in the SMAS+SMW cart? i went out of my way to get that bundle since i already had a SNES, SMW and SMAS just to have that cart and beat it (only beat SMW lol) and yet i never noticed that difference.

Never noticed either but I live in PAL land and I never had this cardridge.

This new Luigi sprite is so cute! He slide on his knees, and he even brick the blocks with his fraking head! :lol

Doesn't just about everyone with a DS? clearly this bundle is for first time owners unfortunately. And there are potential first timers out there. Just think when the system launched almost 6 years ago little 2 year old kids were learning how to walk and say their first few words. now those kids are 8 years old and ready for their first DS this Christmas. New market potential keeps being born for Nintendo.

I will be buying but this should of included Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island & the original Super Mario Kart!

It is Mario's 25th Anniversary after all so they should of gone all out, I'm just thinking of all that space on the DVD that won't be used :(

& they should also include a Red Wiimote too

So is this really just Super Mario All Stars ripped from the SNES? Is there anything different? I want it but GAME has it listed at £20, which is a little excessive for a SNES rom.

We don't know that yet, actually. I think it's more likely they took the source for SMAS and recompiled it for the Wii... but I suppose we'll find out soon.

Bought the Mario 20th Anniversary Edition Gameboy Micro

Now I will buy the Mario DSi XL.

Also the Red Mario Wii. Might have to sell the Black one.

Okay that is a bit ridiculous. The Wii is just red, it's not like it has artwork on the cover or something. lol

I'm just going to buy the collection if they decide to release it in the US. I think they'll release it in December here, November has 3 games coming out from Nintendo.

PokePark Wii, FlingSmash, and then Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Man, I was so under the impression that those Mario flashes featuring Luigi' sprite as seen on SMAA+SMW were made by the fandom itself.

Move this into the Mind Blowing facts, guys :lol

No, it's because they would have to include a classic controller for people to play it.

Actually, I thought about that ages ago and kept meaning to post it here... SMW and YI can't be played (easily) using just a Wii remote.

Really lazy of Nintendo to not include Super mario world when it was available in the SNES version.

No it wasn't. That was a later bundle that was labeled Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World. This is just Super Mario All-Stars.

You could argue they could've used the SMAS+SMW ROM, but I guess like people said, they'd then have to bundle a classic controller or have angry customers.

This is one of the few occasions where this change is actually for the better. Gaf detective agency strikes again!!

Does Super Mario World on the VC have this new Luigi sprite?

Sure they can, and can be done so on SNES9Xwii.

SMW:

Dpad - Move
1 - Run
2 - Jump
B - Spinjump
+ - Start
- - Select.

That's all you need.

Yoshi's Island is a bit trickier but still fully possible:

1 - Tongue
2 - Jump
B - Throw eggs

reaching the B-Button is a pain in the ass when holding the wiimote NES style.
I dunno if it would work that well.
