Is it still worth playing?
Nintendo's 1990 platformer for the Super NES, in which Mario sets out to save Princess Peach and Dinosaur Land from Bowser and the Koopalings. There are 96 level exits across seven worlds, an overworld map with several routes to each castle, and Star Road routes and keys that open secret levels. Yoshi can eat most enemies and gains an ability from the colour of a Koopa shell he eats. Collecting five Dragon Coins gives an extra life, Switch Palaces make new platforms appear and Ghost Houses hide puzzles. Two players take turns on the map, the second as Luigi. Exploring the world map pays off as much as the levels, with red spots that lead to secret routes, so it is still worth playing today.
