Development:Super Mario World (SNES)
This page details development materials of Super Mario World (SNES).
 | This page or section details content from the July 2020 Nintendo Leak. Check the July 2020 Nintendo Leak category for more pages also sourced from this material. |
On July 24, 2020, a vast amount of source code from Nintendo's early consoles surfaced as well as prototypes and assets from games such as Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and more.
The leak included a portion of Super Mario World's source files with an absurd amount of early assets. While some had previously been found in the NTF 2.5 Test Cartridge and Burn-in - Test Cartridge's data or had been glimpsed in grainy magazine screenshots, many had been completely unknown and show how significantly the game changed over its development cycle.
