Super Mario World Appraisal

Super Mario World Nintendo SNES Video Game Cartridge

This is an original Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) game cartridge for 'Super Mario World,' released in North America circa 1991. The cartridge is constructed of molded matte gray plastic with a rectangular shape featuring notched corners and horizontal grooves characteristic of the SNES NTSC design. The front label is primarily black with a central illustration of Mario riding Yoshi against a blue background, featuring the 'Official Nintendo Seal of Quality' and the 'SNS-MW-USA-1' identification code indicating it was made in Japan. The cartridge shows significant signs of age and use; there is visible surface grittiness, dust accumulation in the crevices, and a notable brown staining or residue on the bottom left corner of the inset face. The label appears mostly intact but demonstrates minor scuffing and edge wear. The security bit screws at the bottom are present, suggesting the internal PCB remains secured. This item represents a foundational title for the 16-bit era of gaming and serves as a classic example of early 90s console software manufacturing.
