Playable characters
Mario and Luigi are the main playable characters. In two-player mode, Mario is controlled by Player 1 and Luigi is controlled by Player 2. If Mario loses a life or completes a level in two-player mode, Luigi comes into play until he does the same. The two may also share extra lives on the world map. The two have identical mechanics.
Non-playable characters

Princess Toadstool | The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, who is kidnapped by Bowser during the vacation. The main objective of the game is to rescue her from Bowser. |

Yoshi | Mario's sidekick who requests for Mario's assistance. After he is freed from his egg, he can give rides for Mario or Luigi and eat intrusive enemies. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Mini-Yoshis | If Mario or Luigi passes nearby a lone egg, it hatches into a Mini-Yoshi. The player must feed the Mini-Yoshi five enemies, shells, coins, or active Grab Blocks for it to grow into an adult Yoshi. Feeding the Mini-Yoshi a single power-up causes it to grow up instantly. Every time a Mini-Yoshi eats something other than a power-up, the player receives a coin and 200 points. |
![]() |
Dolphins | A sea creature that gives Mario or Luigi a ride in certain water levels. Dolphins move in jumping arcs or can jump up and down. In Japanese versions of the game, they can be eaten by a Yoshi, while they cannot be eaten in international versions. They appear in Vanilla Secret 3 and a small section at the end of Chocolate Island 1. |
Yoshis
In addition to Mario and Luigi, Yoshis of four different colors appear in the game, and they can be controlled once acquired and help the Mario Bros. in many levels of the game. Green Yoshis hatch out of eggs, usually found in various blocks throughout the game. If an egg is found but the player already has a Yoshi, the egg instead provides a 1-Up Mushroom. If a Yoshi gets hurt, it runs off, requiring the Mario Bros. to chase it down if they want to ride it again. A Yoshi can additionally provide a Yoshi Boost[1] (or Double Jump)[2] to Mario or Luigi if he jumps off the Yoshi. Some levels contain berries, and Yoshis can eat them and produce eggs from them if enough are eaten. Yoshis can eat most enemies, though they cannot immediately swallow most shells, requiring them to spit the shells out before they eventually swallow them.
Red, Blue, and Yellow Yoshis are uncommon in Super Mario World. They are first encountered in Star World, which is accessible by using the five Star Roads found throughout the game. Red, Blue, and Yellow Yoshis are found as Mini-Yoshis, small and unable to be ridden. However, through carrying them, the Mini-Yoshis eat the enemies and items they touch. When they eat five enemies, shells, coins, or active Grab Blocks, they transform into adult Yoshis and can be used normally. If a Mini-Yoshi eats a single power-up, it grows up instantly. Mini-Yoshis of all colors hatch from the eggs rescued from the castles during the end credits of the game.

![]() |
Yellow Yoshi | Yellow Yoshis can create small sand clouds when they hit the ground while they carry a Koopa Shell in their mouths, defeating enemies within the range of the cloud. They are found as Mini-Yoshis in Star World 3 and Star World 5. |
Enemies

![]() Invincible Mario |
Collecting a Star turns Mario invincible for a short time, preventing him from being damaged by enemies and other hazards. Rather than moving around, in this game, the Star remains stationary when struck out of the ? Block it is contained in. Notably, after five enemies are defeated while invincible, an extra life is earned, with an additional one for every enemy defeated by invincibility afterward. Defeating one hundred enemies grants another Star. |
