History Awesome / SuperMarioWorld

* Yoshi himself for showcasing his capability of eating most of the enemy types in the game, including a Blarg! Read that again: ''Yoshi. Can. Eat. A. '''BLARG!'''''

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeE0BZS2LeI&list=PL5yRIRH-6ATP-EG5ZVVltP15wgG3tjqUU Daizo's playthrough]] of VideoGame/HammerBrother is notable as it is savestateless.

* Bowser's entrance in this game. To put this into perspective, his [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros first]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 confrontations]] with Mario were a bit of an anticlimax. Come to this boss, and for the first time in his long career, Bowser drops the act and introduces the Koopa Clown Car, which itself makes a grand entrance by slowly entering the screen until it's in full view, and Bowser pokes his head out in all the game's 16 bit glory. And then came [[AwesomeBosses/VideoGames the fight itself]]. This was when Bowser first earned his mantle as the King of the Koopas, and he hasn't let that title go ever since.

* Yoshi has a few:
** In "Fire Sale", he faces his fear of water to save his friends and Mama Fireplant from Kootie Pie's Ice Palace mere seconds before it collapses.
** He also overcomes his fear of ghosts in "Ghosts 'R' Us" to save his friends from Wizardheimer's haunted house.
** His Dino Rider outfit in "Born To Ride" renders him BadassAdorable.
** Two in "A Little Learning":
*** When Hip and Hop tease Oogtar, Yoshi pulls the stool Hip is standing on, causing him to fall face first into his volcano project.
*** Also when the giant Piranha Plant eats King Koopa, Hip and Hop, Yoshi boldly prevents them from going any further by ''swallowing the plant (and its "contents") whole''.
** "Mama Luigi" is one entire episode of awesome for Baby Yoshi. Between eating everything in sight (including Mario temporarily), destroying Koopa's Castle, and pretty much saving the Princess without much effort from Mario and Luigi, yeah, Luigi's story about Yoshi is awesome.
*** On that note, it's also an episode of awesome for Luigi. The entire first half of the episode is Luigi protecting Baby Yoshi with his very life until Yoshi's ExtremeOmnivore habits start saving the day. The episode isn't kidding when it [[PapaWolf calls Luigi a mama]].
*** Also, with all the goofy dialogue in the episode, the line from King Koopa "I can build another castle, but you can't build another princess" actually sounds pretty cool.
*** After being mocked previously by Mario, who calls him "Mama? ''Mama'' Luigi?! Ahahaha!", Luigi later proudly declares "That's ''[[AppropriatedAppellation Mama]]'' Luigi to you, Mario!"
* The [[PragmaticAdaptation fight scene]] between Mario and King Koopa in "Send in the Clown" where Koopa uses his Koopa Clown Car with the Princess in tow, complete with a remix of the final boss music from the game.
* Koopa even has a moment in "King Scoopa Koopa" when he absconds with the money he scammed from the cave people after his restaurant is shut down.
* After putting up with Kootie Pie's abuse in "Fire Sale", a Koopa Troopa minion [[TheDogBitesBack refuses to help her when she's stuck in a block of ice.]]
* In "Party Line", Mario and Luigi are attacked by a swarm of caterpillars. Now throughout the series, Mario's normally the one who gets a power-up, but this time, Luigi manages to get a hold of a Super Star, becoming Invincible Luigi, and flings the caterpillars into orbit.
** Later in the episode, Mario grabs another Super Star and hurls an evil dinosaur into space with the caterpillars.
* While trying to modernize the cavemen backfires mostly, "The Yoshi Shuffle" give viewers an exception; Mario and Luigi were teaching some cavemen football to help them learn teamwork. At the end of the episode, when Mario and Yoshi are escaping Koopa's Castle, the cavemen show up, having followed their tracks, and save the heroes from some Chargin' Chucks with a synchronized tackle.

* Teaming up with Yoshi for the first time. What, don't ''you'' think it would be awesome to ride a giant dinosaur around and devour all of your enemies in a single gulp?

** One for the developers, too. WordOfGod states that they'd wanted Mario to ride a dinosaur ever since the first NES game. With this, they finally got to.
