About This Game
Originally designed by Will Wright, the SNES adaptation (1991) introduced new features like disasters (including Bowser attacks), Nintendo-themed buildings, and a special 'Mario' architectural style.
The game pioneered the 'reward for playing' concept - after building successful cities, players unlock special structures including a Mario statue, Nintendo factory, and Dr. Wright's house.
Despite technical limitations, this version became one of the best-selling strategy games on SNES, praised for its intuitive interface and charming presentation of complex urban planning concepts.
