If all lives are lost at any point in the game, the 'Game Over' screen will appear, in which the player can continue from the last level played by selecting 'Continue'. The player is given a number of lives, which are lost when an enemy attacks Mario, falls into a pit of lava, or runs out of time. The majority of the game takes place in these linear levels, populated with obstacles and enemies, with the player traversing the stage by running, jumping, and dodging or defeating enemies. Moving the on-screen character to an action panel or fortress allows access to that level's playfield. Paths connect to action panels, fortresses, ghost houses and other map icons, and allow players to take different routes to reach the world's goal. The overworld map displays an overhead representation of the current world and has several paths leading from the world's entrance to a castle. The player navigates through the game via two game screens: an overworld map and a side-scrolling playfield. In addition to the running and jumping moves found in past games, the player can float with the aid of special items, and execute new types of jumps such as the spin jump.

The game shares similar gameplay mechanics with earlier titles in the series-Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. Super Mario World is a two-dimensional, side-scrolling platform game where the player controls the on-screen protagonist Mario.
