Super Mario World Physics

Arguably one of the greatest video game series of all time, I spent countless hours playing these games as a kid. One thing I always particularly loved about the games is that the kinematics / physics of Mario's motion were just so.. fun! Not necessarily that they felt real, but when you ran, you ran fast. When you jumped, you jumped high, etc. I think this is a problem that I have with numerous other platforming games.. yea, sure, the gameplay can be fun, but moving around just seems so boring in comparison to Mario.
