What this Super Mario World guide covers.
StartsA new one-player file at Yoshi’s House.
EndsBowser defeated and the file counter showing 96 with a completion star.
RouteEvery counted normal and secret exit, all four Switch Palaces, every Star Road, and Special World.
Not IncludedEvery Dragon Coin, 3-Up Moon, bonus room, score, coin, life, or reserve item.
Exits, not level names
The file-select number counts exits. Red-dot stages and certain Ghost Houses have two; travel nodes, Yoshi’s House, and Bowser’s two entrances do not. Regional counter checks isolate a missed exit before the route moves on.

A route that catches missing exits early.
Each region ends with a cumulative counter check and a named list of its completed exits. If the file number is low, the missing branch can be found before later map paths make the search harder.
