Super Mario World Widescreen is your beloved Mario World SNES game but in the 16:10, 16:9 or 18:9/2:1 screen aspect ratio. This is possible by expanding the horizontal resolution by 96/128 pixels, increasing resolution from 256x224 to 352x224 or 384x224.
Since the original SNES does not have this resolution, the emulator focused into high definition mods bsnes-hd must be used.
Currently SMW Widescreen supports 16:9, 16:10, 2:1/18:9 or 18.5:9 screen aspect ratios. More aspect ratios are planned and are currently work in progress, such as 21:9 and 64:27 ultrawide options.
SMW Widescreen mode expands the screen by 96 pixels (+37.5%), increasing to 352x224. Can be used on 16:9 mode (with pixel stretch) and 16:10 (without pixel stretch).
SMW Extrawide mode expands the screen by 128 pixels (+50.0%), increasing to 384x224. Can be used on 16:9 mode (without pixel stretch) and 2:1/18:9/18.5:9 mode (with pixel streching).
