I appreciate some of the changes made with the SNES one, like changing the spider in World 2 to be a Hoopster and changing the bird in World 5 into an Albatoss (and, while not the greatest resemblance, replacing the seal with a Monty Mole, maybe because of the nose resemblance), but I find it odd that other enemies were used in place of the Spike and Venus Fire Trap transformations in Worlds 3 and 7, and why the Dino Rhino was put in World 3 (SNES) when it would've made more sense to replace the dinosaur transformation in World 4 (NES).

[@scarffoxandfriends9401]

Water Land's King looks so much like Mario! Bring on the theories about him being related to Mario and Luigi somehow. Also, it's interesting to notice that in the All Stars version, they replaced some of the animal sprites with references to 2 and even World. (And DK Jr.!) The Yoshi sprite here is almost dead-ringer for the sprite they would use for Yoshi's Island a couple years later.
