I was up playing till about 6am that morning with a buddy. We finnaly finished it and went back to check out what 1-1 was like and I just remember all the enemies having these masks on! We were so tired though, at that point I just passed out.

 

[Gattsu25]

D) Do people actually remember this shit?

when i beat it ... it was like any other post-mario3 area :\ nothing special

 

[Ristamar]

The SNES launched in the fall of 1991, right? I was 13, I believe...

EDIT: Launched in the States, that is....

 

[Diomedeskun]

You mean the Special World. Star Road was just a connection of warp Zones, whereas the Special World changed the enemies and map.

 

[WordofGod]

December 2, 1990: 16 years old

 

[Naked Snake]

SMW is overrated.

 

[Error Macro]

SMW is overrated.

That's not possible. It's the best game ever. Right behind Super Mario 64, which is actually the best game ever.

 

[Rockman]

14

 

[human5892]

A few years ago on the GBA. I never did it on the SNES and finally got my chance with the GBA port.

Fantastic game, BTW. I still have trouble deciding between SMW or Mario 3 for my favorite side-scrolling Mario title.

EDIT: Error Macro is correct.

 

[6.8]

I did it when it released on GBA 2 years ago. So 20.

 

[Bandicoot]

Completing Star Road gave you access to the Special World.

 

[Bog]

I know I did it on GBA, but don't remember doing it on SNES. So figure 22.

 

[ruffles]

11

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

10 or 11. The good old days when systems were bundled with 2 controllers and a game.

 

[belgurdo]

Don't remember, don't care

 

[Bandicoot]

I did it when it released on GBA 2 years ago. So 20.

Doh! I totally forgot about the GBA version.....

 

[Thaedolus]

I think it was several years ago, maybe late 90's. I was probably 15 or so. The one that hung me up for so long was the floaty level.

After that, I took care of business.

 

[Diomedeskun]

Yes, but completing the Special world is what changed the world. Completing Star Road made a loope back to the first Star Road and Finding the Secret in the Fianl Star Road opened up the Special World.

I pored over the Mario Madness book, which was mostly a strategy gide for Super Mario World, that came with my Nintendo Power Supscription for a bout two years before I Got a Super Nes of my own.

 

[beerbelly]

It was December 1994, when I was 10. I miss those worry-free days..

 

[GDGF]

It was during the Christmas holidays of 1991, so I was 14 years old.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

7 or 8

 

[radcliff]

13 or so. Great times!

 

[Scalemail Ted]

SMW is overrated.

yeah...well, You're OVERRATED!!!

HAH! Take that!

 

[deadhorse32]

[suikodan]

The SNES launched in the fall of 1991, right? I was 13, I believe...

EDIT: Launched in the States, that is....

Approx. the same here

 

[Wario64]

Let's see. Mario World came out in 1990, yes? 7 years old then

 

[Kobun Heat]

We got the SNES right at launch, beat Mario World in three days, then spent another couple weeks finishing up all the exits and such. So, I was eleven.

 

[Ristamar]

Let's see. Mario World came out in 1990, yes? 7 years old then

I'm not sure why, but I thought you were much older. Now I feel old.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Must of been 11 or 12.

 

[Ranger X]

I didn't finished Super Mario World before i had my own SNES in late 92 if i remember right. I bought the Super Mario World pack and also Top Gear! That was great times. I was 13 years old i guess

 

[Vargas]

I was eight years old.

 

[evil ways]

I think I was about 13 years old. The most frustrating one was the "P" balloon one.

 

[Fowler]

1990... so 9 years old.

 

[Defensor]

8... maybe 9.

 

[DCharlie]

1991 - that would make me... .um... 16.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

'91 - age 18
edit: don't know math and my age ...

 

[MrPing1000]

I can't remember too young. Still it was the first game i ever owned. Thank you parents for making me the gaming nerd i am today!

 

[bobbyconover]

12!

 

[Naked Snake]

I'm not sure why, but I thought you were much older. Now I feel old.

Yep, Wario64 is hot.

 

[DopeyFish]

8 years old.

 

[sc0la]

I believe I did it during the first year or two of the SNES so 11 or 12.

 

[bjork]

Didn't own an SNES until 1997, so that's make me 20 when I did it.

 

[Future Trunks]

11

 

[guess]

9

 

[Grizzlyjin]

That's not possible. It's the best game ever. Right behind Super Mario 64, which is actually the best game ever.

I agree, Super Mario World is what got me into gaming.

 

[Suerte]

I think the real question is, how old were you when you completed Sonic 3 + Sonic and Knuckles? That seemed to take forever when I was younger...

 

[buck naked]

I didn't get a SNES till 1994, but I was 11 when I beat it.

 

[TheDiave]

1991... So that would've clocked me in at 11.

 

[ItalianStallion]

6 years of age.
