If there's one thing Nintendo does right, it's consistently makes awesome games. Zelda, Donkey Kong and the Pokemon series all constantly churn out stellar games for different platforms, but it's Ninty's biggest asset in good old Mario that constantly blows everything else out of the water. Despite his string of inexplicably awesome games, there's one that for most people stands head and shoulders above the rest. This title is, naturally, Super Mario World. Perhaps the title single-handedly responsible for making Mario where he is today/helping the SNES to sell tonnes of units, Super Mario World messed with the usual formula of Mario by adopting new powers such as the cape, multiple exits from levels, secrets to find, and a huge, sprawling world map filled with awesome characters and things to interact with. It's been re-released many times for different platforms over the years, but Nintendo has yet to pull the trigger and recreate this stellar title. The closest we've got so far is Super Mario 3D world, a fantastic game that the six people who own a Wii U will have had immense fun playing. There's no need to remake Super Mario World though; it's still great to delve into to this day. What games from your past would you absolutely hate to have anyone touch?
