Due to the introduction of the Children's Television Act in 1990, some social commentary and edutainment was added into the series. Some episodes of ''Super Mario World'' can be seen as social commentary for controversial issues, such as street gangs ("[[Born to Ride]]"), addiction ("[[Rock TV]]"), bullying in school ("[[A Little Learning]]"), obesity and capitalism ("[[King Scoopa Koopa]]"). Several episodes such as "[[The Wheel Thing]]" and "[[Party Line]]" deal with the introduction and consequences of introducing new concepts and technologies to others without thinking ahead, in this case, the cave-people of Dome City. One of the more noticable changes made to the series in light of the CTA is the change made to Princess Toadstool's personality, where she is now more of a role model and parental figure for Mario, Luigi and Yoshi. | Due to the introduction of the {{wp|Regulations on children's television programming in the United States#Children's Television Act|Children's Television Act}} in 1990, some social commentary and edutainment was added into the series.
