So if you have SMW on a cartrige it menas you have SMB4 :)
Yes, my Japanese Super Famicom SMW reads Super Mario Bros 4 on the sticker.
This is pretty old news.. like..as old as the game. :-X
I'm confused now, so does that make "Super Mary" part 5 then? What about "Fancy Mario"?
Not exactly sure what you mean by "Super Mary", but if by Fancy Mario you mean Dream Mary, then it's still just a pirate. :P
Wait, I have golden mario, what number is that?!
I jest, but thanks for the scan because this was news to me, especially as those shots look like the 8 bit version.
I never knew the SFC SMW was called Mario 4? I guess that's because all English speakers just call it SMW.
[EDIT] ok, I zoomed in and can see they are clearly 16 bit alpha screens not 8 bit.
I knew the game was codenamed Mario 4 as a working title and at announcement but I didn't know it was actually called it.
As Yoshi's Island is subtitled SMW2, does that make it Mario 5??
Serious question this time! I can't read Hiragana let alone kanji so I've no idea what the SFC version is labelled.
In Japan SMW is officially SMB4, have a look at the label:

It's just called "Super Mario: Yoshi Island". (or Yossy Island as the box says)
Thanks for the update!
Odd when you think that SFC SSMW is subtitled SMB 4 but SFC SMW2 is not subtitled anything, it's like the polar opposite on both territories.
