STORY

After saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser and the rest of the Koopas in
Super Mario 3, Mario and Luigi needed to recuperate from their adventures.
Together they agreed that the best place to vacation was a magical place
called Dinosaur Land.

But while Mario and Luigi reclined on the beach for a relaxing nap, Princess
Toadstool disappeared, apparently seized by evil forces. After searching for
hours for their missing friend, Mario and Luigi came upon an enormous egg in
the forest.

Suddenly the egg hatched, and out popped a young dinosaur named YOSHI, who
proceeded to tell Mario and Luigi a sad tale of how his dinosaur pals who
were sealed in similar eggs by a group of monsterous turtles.

"Monsterous turtles!," exclaimed Luigi. "Bowser and his bunch have
returned!" Mario slowly nodded his head in agreement and, along with Luigi
and Yoshi, set off across Dinosaur Land to find the Princess and to free
Yoshi's friends. As they began their journey, Yoshi handed Mario a beautiful
cape. "This may help you," Yoshi said. "Some say it has magical powers."

With a little luck (and help from a magic cape), our hearty crew can defeat
the seven worlds of Bowser's Krazy Koopa Kritters. Many locations are
well-hidden so explore everywhere and try everything. Not all locations have
to be explored to rescue the dinosaurs and save Princess Toadstool, but
there are many "starry" treasures to be found in far-reaching places. You'll
need to search all areas to find out what kinds of treasure are there... in
Super Mario World.

PLAYING THE GAME

Insert the Game Pak into the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (R) and turn
the POWER switch ON. The demo screen shown at the right will appear. Press
the START Button (or the B or Y Button) and Save Slots for Mario A, Mario B,
and Mario C will appear. (See page 11 for details.)

Use the Control Pad or SELECT to choose one of the slots and also whether it
is a 1-player or 2-player game. Then press START to start the game. The game
consists of map screens and action screens.

* MAP SCREEN

The game begins at Yoshi's house. Move Mario (or Luigi) by using the Control
Pad. At first, mario can only go left or right from Yoshi's house. However,
once Mario has cleared some of the areas, he will be able to move farther
along. Now, go for it!

5
_____________________________________________________

If you wish to see the rest of the map, press the START button and use the
Control Pad to scroll the screen. Press the START Button again to return to
where you were. (Note: this can't be done in World 1 but can be done in most
later worlds.)

Some points on the map are red. These areas have a normal goal and a special
goal (or secret keyhole). If you find the special goal, a new route will
appear on the map. Many of these new routes can be used as a shortcut.

* ACTION SCREEN

Press the B or Y Button while on the map to enter an area. If you can get
Mario to the end of the goal safely, the area will be cleared. Once an area
is cleared, you can return there as many times as you wish. (except for the
castles and fortresses, which you can only finish once.) If you go into an
area that has already been cleared, you can return to the map screen by
pressing START, then SELECT.

6
_____________________________________________________

LOSING MARIOS

When you lose all of your Marios, your game is over.

You lose one Mario:
* When Small Mario is touched or bitten by an enemy.
* When Mario falls into a hole.
* When Mario does not reach the goal before the timer reaches zero.
* When Mario gets pushed off the screen (in the automatic scrolling areas).

If you are Fire Mario, Caped Mario or Super Mario, being touched or bitten
by an enemy will transform you back to Small Mario.

COINS

[Small coin with a "1" on it]
Gather 100 regular coins and you'll earn an extra Mario.

[Large coin with Yoshi's face on it]
Gather 5 Dragon Coins in 1 course and you'll earn an extra Mario. Dragon
coins also count as regular coins.

ITEM STOCK

Sometimes when you hit a block while travelling through the course, items
that give Mario more power will appear. If you take an item while Mario
already has extra power, the item will be stocked at the top of the screen,
but only one item can be held in stock. When Mario is running out of power,
the stocked item will automatically drop down. You my press the SELECT Button
to make the item drop down when you want it to.

If Super Mario gets a Fire Flower or Cape Feather, he'll gain more power,
and the Super Mushroom will be added to the stock. When Fire Mario takes a
Cape Feather that is in stock ro when Caped Mario takes a Fire Flower that
is in stock, you can swap items. The process of gaining more power will be
explained later.

[Red msuhroom] Super Mushroom [Flower] Fire Flower [Feather] Cape Feather

______________________________________________________

MIDWAY GATE AND GOAL

There is a gate in the middle of the course like the one in the screen to the
right. This is called a Midway Gate. If you break the tape at this gate, even
if you lose a life before reaching your goal, you can restart from the Midway
Gate. And, if Small Mario cuts the rope, he'll become Super Mario!

A moving Giant Gate awaits you at the Goal. Time it right so that if you
break the tape while it is high in the air and you'll get Gold Stars
corresponding to that height. If you collect 100 Gold Stars you get to play
a bonus game where you can get more Marios. And if Mario can make it to the
goal while on Yoshi's back, they'll start out on the next course together.

BONUS GAME

Hit all the rotating item blocks from beneath. The idea is to get a row of
blocks with the same picture to win an Extra 1-Up Mushroom. It's just like
tic-tac-toe!


[Green Mushroom] Extra Mario Mushroom
You get an extra Mario for every one of these you receive.

8
______________________________________________________

2-PLAYER GAME

In the 2-player game, Player 1 (with controller 1) is Mario and Player 2
(with Controller 2) is Luigi. Player 1 and Player 2 take turns in clearing
the action screen panels. When only Controller 1 is connected to the Super
NES, both players can take turns using the Controller. If both controllers
are connected to the Super NES, then one of the players can control Mario,
and the other player can control Luigi.

If one player fails to clear a course, it is the other player's turn. When a
player enters the course in which the other player has reached the Midway
Gate, that player also starts the course from a point near the Midway Gate.
(See "Midway Gate" on page 8)

TRANSFERRING EXTRA PLAYERS

If you press the L or R Button at the map screen, the screen on the right
will appear. This screen also appears if one of the players finishes the
game. When this appears, you can give some of your Marios (or Luigis) to the
other player.

When you're only using one controller, press the B Button to give one of
Luigi's lives to Mario; press the A Button to give one of Mario's lives to
Luigi.

When you're using two controllers, player 2 (with Controller 2) can press the
B Button to give one of Luigi's lives to Mario and the Y Button to give one
of mario's lives to Luigi. Press the START Button to return to the original
screen.

______________________________________________________

SAVING YOUR PROGRESS

When you clear areas like a castle, fortress or haunted house, the following
choices will appear on the map screen:

* Continue and Save
* Continue Without Save

If you choose to continue and save, the route up to that point will be saved
in the Save Slot you selected at the Title Screen. Once your selection has
been saved, it doesn't matter if you switch the POWER switch OFF, because it
is saved on the Game Pak. If you want to end the game in the same status as
you started, select CONTINUE WITHOUT SAVE and the continue the game. (Your
extra Marios will not be saved.)

When the game is over, the following choices will appear on the map screen:

* Continue
* End

if you select "End", you'll return to the Title Screen. If you select
"Continue," you'll begin on the course immediately after the last saved
point.

When all three save slots have been used, you can delete the data in one of
the slots by selecting "Delete Saved Route" at the Title Screen. And after
selecting and and restarting a save slot, you can choose to play the game
as a 1-player game or a 2-player game. (The number displayed in the save slot
is the number of areas you've found up to the point when you saved.)

This game pak has a battery backup function to record the progress of the
game. WARNING: If the POWER switch is switched ON and OFF repeatedly, the
accumulated contents may be deleted. Also, avoid turning off the POWER
switch unnecessarily (before saving the game) or data may be lost.

are the same as when operating Mario.

Acceleration Jump Dismounting Mario

When Caped mario is riding Yoshi, you can fly into the air by accelerating,
then jumping. Mario's cape won't open when you hold down the Y and B Button,
but he will glide. If you hold down just the B Button, you can make a slow
landing.

Eating
[Y]

If you press the Y Button, Yoshi's tongue will dart out to eat berries and
enemies. (Match the position of the berry with Yoshi's mouth, and he will
automatically eat it.)

Spitting
[Y]

It's difficult for Yoshi to eat hard objects such as turtle shells. So when
Yoshi has a hard item like a shell in his mouth, press the Y Button and he'll
spit it out. If he eats red shells, he'll spit out a bunch of fireballs,
which can be really handy against a group of foes!

If Yoshi eats a yellow shell, he will make a sand cloud when he bounces off
the ground. If an enemy is hit by this sand cloud, it will be defeated. Yoshi
can also spit the shell out at his enemies.

When Yoshi eats blue shells, he can fly if the B Button is pressed.

Flying in The Air
[B]
Press the B Button repeatedly.

17
_______________________________________________________

* If shells are left in Yoshi's mouth for a long time, Yoshi will swallow
them after awhile. If this happens, Yoshi can no longer do the amazing
things he can when he holds them in his mouth.

* If an enemy hits Yoshi when Mario is on Yoshi's back, you won't lose Mario
or any strength; however, Yoshi will run away. If this happens, you'd
better chase him will all your might, because if Yoshi falls off a cliff or
into a hole, he'll be gone for sure.

The Legend Of The Colored Yoshis

Somewhere in the land of dragons, there are three different-colored Yoshis
hiding. At first, they are little kids. So, you must feed them something
so they grow. If you feed them five enemies, they'll grow into a big Yoshi.

The little Yoshi's specialities are different than big Yoshi's specialities.

Red Yoshi

Red Yoshi always spits out fire balls, whatever the color of the shells in
his mouth.

Blue Yoshi

Blue Yoshi can fly for a fixed length of time, whatever the color of the
shells in his mouth.

Yellow Yoshi

Yellow Yoshi throws out sand clouds for a fixed length of time when he jumps,
whatever the color of the shells in his mouth.

18
_____________________________________________________

YOSHI'S ISLAND

Fortress

There are dinosaurs called Renzor waiting in all four fortresses. No doubt
they have been put under a terrible spell by Koopa. They'll do anything for
him, so watch out!

Haunted House

The inside of this old wooden house is dark, scary, and swarming with ghosts
and spirits. What's more, the door is nearly impossible to find. So you're
going to need to put on your thinking caps to escape from here.

Yoshi's House

This is the starting point for the game but the house is empty. It looks like
the elusive Yoshi has gone out. You better look for him and look quickly! By
the way, Yoshi was first discovered on Yoshi's Island, that's how he got his
name.

The Castles

Within seven castles, the Koopa Kids each hold one of Yoshi's friends captive
inside an egg. There are lots of traps waiting for you when you try to get
through the kids' rooms. What's more, the kids will come at you with a
variety of attacks. Exploring these fortresses is enough to drive you crazy!

______________________________________________________

Mysterious Sunken Ship

This is a strange looking sunken ship. Haven't you seen it somewhere else
before? That's right, in Super Mario Bros. 3, Koopa and his kids used a
flying ship to make life tough for Mario. I wouldn't be surprised if Bowser
is lurking somewhere nearby.

20
________________________________________________________

KEYHOLES

Secret Keyholes were also mentioned on page 8.
From the Donut Plains onwards, many course points are red. All these course
points are hidden different goals and keyholes as shown here. Keys USUALLY
lay next to the keyhole. If Mario takes a key and moves over the keyhole, he
can exit the course to another area. If Mario is on Yoshi when he finds the
key, they can move over the keyhole with Yoshi holding the key in his mouth.

STAR ROAD

WOW! What's this place?
Find this star on the map screen and you know you've come to a strange
place! But don't worry, if you can solve this puzzle, something good is
bound to happen.

Switch Palace
Jump on the big switch here and the yellow blocks with dotted lines in the
middle of the course will change to exclamation blocks. This makes it easier
to clear the course. The switch palaces come in three other colors; you will
definately want to find these.

Dotted Line -) Exclaimation

SPECIAL ITEMS AND BLOCKS
(Warning: There are many more surprises that aren't listed here!)

Super Star Egg
They make Mario invincible. There's always something fun inside
these!

3-Up Moon Berry
This will give Mario three extra lives. You will gain an extra Mario if you
feed Yoshi enough of these.

______________________________________________________

CHARACTERS IN DINOSAUR LAND

Koopa
The same old Koopas are back again. Everything seems bleak when these
characters appear! If you jump on a Koopa in this game, it pops out of its
shell. And what's worse is that an unshelled Koopa will eventually find its
empty shell and climb back in to start all over again. BEWARE! If a Koopa
climbs into a yellow shell, he'll become invinsible!

Super Koopa
A Koopa can fly once it has put on this magic cape. It looks like this guy
might give Caped Mario some tough aerial combat. But look at the bright
side... if you jump on one that's wearing a flashing cape, you'll get a Cape
Feather.

Jumpin' Poranha Plant
These are a tropical plant version of the Volcano Plant! Be careful; they
come madly whirling out of the pipes and can be very tough.

Goomba
Jump on it to make it roll. You can also hold it or throw it.

Monty Mole
This is a mole that bursts out of the ground. There's even bigger ones
underground.

23
___________________________________________________

Boo Buddies
The Big Boo
You may remeber the Boo Buddies from Super Mario Bros. 3. This time there is
a whole horde of them! And amongst them there's a huge spook named The Big
Boo. But, don't worry, if you look at them, they act shy and turn away. Cute,
aren't they? But watch it ... they're dangerous!

Eeries
This is a dinosaur spook that roams the haunted house. It comes after you
with its pale face and ohhhh, what a ghastly spook it is!

Rip Van FIsh
This little fellow is always taking a nap, but when Mario comes along, he
wakes up, and sets off in a hot pursuit. Whatever you do, don't let Rip
touch mario.

Urchin
This is a giant urchin drifting in the sea. It doesn't move very fast, so if
you swim by carefully, there should be no problem. However, it's probably
really painful if you get stung.

Dolphin
Don't worry, these guys are not enemies; they help Mario cross water. A
useful shoal of dolphin look alikes!

24
_______________________________________________________

Rex
As one would suspect, you could only meet this kind of enemy in Dinosaur
land, and there are lots of them too. You have to stomp on Rex twice to
defeat him. Rex has wings, but I don't think he can fly.

Mini-Rhino
Dino-Rhino
These are dragons from Chocolate Island. Jump on Dino-Rhino and it becomes
Mini-Rhino. Watch out, they breath fire.

Bob-omb
These explode and scatter stars after a set time. Some of the Bob-ombs use
parachutes to drop from the sky. These little guys are a real blast.

Thwomp
A nasty stone ghost that guards the castles and fortresses for the Koopas. If
Mario comes close, Thwomp will try to crush him. The trouble is, if you don't
you can't go on.

Wiggler
A caterpillar that lives in the forest. Normally, Wiggler is very quiet, but
once jumped on, Wiggler turns red and gets extremely angry. If possible,
treat Wiggler with respect.

25
_____________________________________________________

Magikoopas
This is one of the tortoise sorcerers. The starnge flashes of light that
shoot from the wand are able to change blocks into enemies. On top of this,
Magikoopas can appear and disappear in an instant. A tough customer to deal
with!

Sumo Brother
When this strange little fellow stomps his foot, lightning strikes, and turns
whatever it hits into a sea of flames. BEWARE! Sumo Brotherwill even attack
you with a karate chop!

Chargin' Chuck
These All-Stars always seem to bar Mario's way just when he's within sight
of the goal. They use a variety of bull-headed attacks, so you'll really
have a tough time checking Chargin' Chuck.
