Nostalgic Sundays Ep. 5 | Super Mario World – Chocolate Island, Chocolate Secret & Sunken Ghost Ship

We’re back with another Nostalgic Sundays, and this time, we’re diving into some of the sweetest — and trickiest — stages in Super Mario World. Chocolate Island lulls you in with its name, but don’t let it fool you — these levels are packed with clever designs, time-based secrets, and enemies ready to ruin your day. Then comes Chocolate Secret, hidden under Bowser’s Valley, with its lava pits, fast-moving platforms, and tight jumps that test your skills. And just when you think you’re in control… we hit the Sunken Ghost Ship. That haunting underwater stage gave me chills as a kid — eerie music, Boo swarms, and a drop into chaos. This was the moment I realized the game was leading us straight into the final showdown. Drop a comment if you remember the first time you braved the Sunken Ghost Ship — did you love it or hate it? #supermarioworld #ChocolateIsland #SunkenGhostShip #nostalgicsundays #retrogaming #SNESMemories #MarioSecrets #marioworld
