Even after 35 years, Super Mario World players are unearthing weird new possibilities in the SNES game. The latest is an unsettling ending in which Yoshi can actually eat Princess Peach, leading to Mario and his green companion just staring at each other until the end of time.
Supper Mario Broth showcased the grim finale for Super Mario World on X, noting glitches are needed to achieve this conclusion. For instance, Super Mario World players might know that bringing Yoshi into the last battle with Bowser shouldn’t be possible. Well, it’s not without a glitch putting the green dinosaur in the reserve item box–which houses power-ups like the Cape Feather or mushroom. The latter comes into play to consume Peach, as timing is important to have Yoshi trying to eat that as the mushroom falls and then it’s replaced with the princess. Basically, this isn’t an easy trick to pull off while defeating Bowser.
Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser’s defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever. pic.twitter.com/nEHGOWnmAw

This isn’t the first time Supper Mario Broth has highlighted a hilarious and hidden factoid about a popular Nintendo game. In September, the account pointed out that Toad NPCs are capable of stealing cars in Mario Kart World.
The next time we’ll see Mario, Peach, and Yoshi sharing a screen together is most likely with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, premiering in theaters April 3. Yoshi will be a new addition to the cast, alongside Princess Rosalina.
Yoshi is also starring in his own game for Switch 2 later this year. Nintendo announced Yoshi and the Mysterious Book during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, which will be the first Yoshi title since Yoshi’s Crafted World in 2019. Meanwhile, don’t forget that Super Mario World is playable on Switch and Switch 2 with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
