Look familar?

Yup, that's Bowser's airship from Super Mario Bros. 3! You have to get through this in order to advance to the final world. Lots of ghosts here.

The Valley of Bowser is the last world before you enter the castle. We're almost to Bowser himself at this point. This stage also features a tough secret in the ghost house.

Larry Koopa is the last Koopaling you have to face. This Larry King wannabe's stage is close to resembling Iggy's except, you guessed it...more fireballs! After you defeat this clown, it's time for the final stage.

In the castle, you can choose your path. There's 4 doors, all with a theme from previous levels. Once you get through there, you repeat the same process. After that, you're a hallway away from the big guy. Bowser has three different movements:
A: Going back and forth simply. After you stomp on the toy koopas, and throw them up at him, he starts his second plan of action.
B: Dropping bowling balls. They may be big but you can jump over them. Two more toy koopas and Bowser really starts to get angry.
C: Using his vehicle to pound you into the ground. Wait until he gets to the edge and then move quickly under him. Two more toy koopas and the game is over, congrats!

Overall, this is one of the greatest Mario and SNES games of all time. The amount of secrets and goodies to find is mind blowing. While easier then the first few Mario games, Super Mario World still stands as a classic that's sure to be remembered decades later.
