Story
★★★★★
"Classic"
Vivid colours, crisp shapes and dazzling worlds: the game imposes a perfect readability and a joyful visual identity become iconic. The roundness of the sprites and the freshness of the settings overflow with playful energy. This art direction, polished and luminous, defines the golden age of the 16-bit platformer and hasn't aged a day.
Re-orchestrating Koji Kondo's immortal themes with pomp, this compilation revives the Mario classics with a new sonic richness. From the "Main Theme" to the most familiar melodies, every tune gains in depth and warmth. For the enthusiast, this musical concentrate elevates a whole swath of video game history.
Gameplay
"Masterful"
Under a slightly different cover, this same generous bundle offers five platforming adventures with exemplary precise controls. From Mario's historic momentum to World's cape, each installment keeps its own flavor. An ideal collection for rediscovering in one go classics whose joy controller in hand remains intact.
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
The ultimate platforming fan's dream: four 16-bit-renovated Mario adventures, rounded out by the legendary Super Mario World on a single cartridge. Enough to chain classics without ever stopping, from pixel-perfect jumps to secret-laden worlds. Generous, timeless and essential, this anthology condenses dozens of hours of the best of Mario.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Five Mario adventures on a single cartridge multiply the platforming loops and the secrets to dig out without let-up. Moving from a remastered classic to Super Mario World constantly rekindles the urge to clear one more level. A benchmark compilation, this set keeps an all but inexhaustible joy of exploration and mastery.
Difficulty
"Balanced"
Lifespan
"Massive"
Slipping Super Mario World among the four remastered Marios delivers an almost limitless platforming sum, from World's secret worlds to its unlockable Star Worlds. You sink hours into hunting hidden exits and bonus stages, while The Lost Levels saves up its share of brutal challenges. This European version stays the most complete Super Nintendo compilation, a timeless key to discovering Mario.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
The European PAL SNES edition of Nintendo's Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World from 1994, the PAL version of the US bundle (with 'and' instead of '+' in the title). The PAL cart is rarer than the US version and, as a PAL pack-in, stands as an identifiable piece for Mario SNES PAL collectors. PAL boxed CIB in the original cardboard box climbs hard, sustained by real physical scarcity.
Is Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World still worth playing in 2026?
Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, a late pack-in release in the West, is probably the most generous Mario cartridge on the SNES, namely the four NES Super Mario Bros remastered plus the original Super Mario World on a single cartridge, with unified saving. Five major Mario adventures in a single slot. Recommended to anyone wanting Mario's classic heritage on one cartridge, especially as a SNES bundle.
