The game was re-released in a special version of ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', ''Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World'', as a [[Glossary of video game terms#P|pack-in game]] for the SNES in December 1994.<ref name=":1" /> ''All-Stars'' contains [[video game remake|enhanced remakes]] of the first four ''Super Mario'' games released for the NES: ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros.{{spaces}}2]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros.{{spaces}}3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.:&nbsp;The Lost Levels]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/27422/the-snes-20-super-mario-all-stars--world |title=Super Mario All-Stars + World |work=Nintendo World Report |first=Andrew |last=Brown |date=18 August 2011 |access-date=5 February 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206105502/http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/27422/the-snes-20-super-mario-all-stars--world |archive-date=6 February 2017}}</ref> In contrast to the other games in the collection, ''Super Mario World'' is largely identical to the original version, but Luigi's [[Sprite (computer graphics)|sprites]] were updated to make him a distinctive character rather than a [[palette swap]] of Mario.<ref name="NWR: World">{{cite web|last1=Brown|first1=Andrew|title=Super Mario All-Stars + World|url=http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/27422/the-snes-20-super-mario-all-stars--world|website=Nintendo World Report|access-date=13 April 2019|date=18 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206105502/http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/27422/the-snes-20-super-mario-all-stars--world|archive-date=6 February 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

''Super Mario World'' was ported to the [[Game Boy Advance]] as ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' between 2001 and 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Iwata-Asks/Super-Mario-Bros-25th-Anniversary/Vol-3-The-Developers-1-/1-Joining-Nintendo-After-Super-Mario/1-Joining-Nintendo-After-Super-Mario-222028.html |title=Joining Nintendo After Super Mario |date=13 September 2010 |work=[[Nintendo]] |access-date=19 January 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110217171556/http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/mario25th/vol3_page1.jsp |archive-date=17 February 2011}}</ref> It features the same number of levels as the original, Luigi as a playable character in single player with his characteristic behaviour and appearance from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', [[Game Link Cable]] support for four players in the ''[[Mario Bros.|Mario Bros.

Difficulty is lowered as being hit by an enemy no longer makes him lose all current power ups. Additionally, the alternate overworld map and enemy sprites that was normally unlocked by beating the Special World is now instead unlocked by finding every exit in each level.<ref name="gba">{{cite web |last1=Harris |first1=Craig |title=Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/02/11/super-mario-world-super-mario-advance-2 |website=[[IGN]]|access-date=3 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825064639/http://www.ign.com/articles/2002/02/11/super-mario-world-super-mario-advance-2 |archive-date=25 August 2017 |date=11 February 2002}}</ref><ref name="multiple">{{cite web |url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-mario-world-super-mario-advance-2-review/1900-2847297/ |title=Super Mario Advance 2 Review |last=Gerstmann |first=Jeff |date=12 February 2002 |access-date=3 April 2022 |website=[[GameSpot]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130622203745/http://www.gamespot.com/super-mario-world-super-mario-advance-2/reviews/super-mario-world-super-mario-advance-2-review-2847297/?tag=summary|archive-date=22 June 2013}}</ref> It received positive reviews; critics enjoyed its new inclusions and retention of the SNES original's "feel".<ref name="gba" /><ref name="multiple" />{{sfn|Famitsu staff|2006|p=116}} ''[[GameSpot]]'' named it the best video game of February 2002.<ref name=gotm>{{cite web | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031016055453/http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/gotm/030102/ | url=http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/gotm/030102/ | title=Video Game of the Month, February 2002 |website=GameSpot | date=1 March 2002 | archive-date=16 October 2003 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
