There are three types of Berries (apples) that Yoshi can eat with varying effects. In all cases, any berry eaten will add one coin to the player's coin count and can cause the coin counter to rollover. (giving the player a 1-up as a reward.)
Red - The most common of berries. Eating 10 of these in the same stage will cause Yoshi to produce an egg that hatches into a Super Mushroom. Using or holding any other form of power-up will not affect this though, as it will always be a Super Mushroom. In the Remake (Super Mario Advanced 2), the egg will create a power-up based on the Yoshi Color.
Pink - An uncommon berry that found in a few stages. Eating 2 of them in the same stage will produce a small smiling cloud that floats around like Lakitu. The cloud will rain coins slowly as it floats forward. Collecting all the coins will cause the cloud to throw a 1-up mushroom as a reward!
Green - The least common of the berries, it only shows up in one level as part of level design. 1 Each berry you eat will add 20 seconds to the game timer. Yoshi will eat the berry much like an enemy, and will not produce an egg.
As noted, the Red and Pink berry requires you to eat them in the same stage, and will not roll over their counts to any other stage. 2
1: There's one stage where green berries can be found which is named Funky in the Special World. There's one other stage where a green berry can be found, but it's not as important as it is in Funky.
2: Needs testing, but if I recall, the berry count WILL roll over between lives. Eating 8 red berries, then restarting the stage due to a death will still keep 8 in memory. So you would only need two berries for a egg at that point. I can recall this from the SNES version, but need to test before confirming for this answer.
There are 96 exits in Super Mario World. The star signifies that you have done all of the levels.
More recent Mario games (like New Super Mario Bros. DS, and Super Mario Bros. Wii) have multiple stars available for completing different goals (beating the game. collecting all the coins, finding all the exits...), but Super Mario World only has one star.
Interesting fact:
In the Japanese Super Mario Bros. the number of completed levels is written in Japanese, unless you get to 96. At 96, it just displays the number "96" in our number system. (no star)
You have to break (touch) the rope at the level's exit to earn stars. The higher it is when you break it, the more stars you get — up to 50. Getting all 50 gets you three bonus extra lives.
The white horizontal bar between the two vertical striped bars is the 'rope' to which I refer.
Once you have acquired 100 red stars, you enter a bonus game where you can earn extra lives.
The minigame starts with 8 squares that had changing icons on them (the one in center does not change). The 8 squares around the center rotate around the middle square. The objective is to hit the moving squares to make them stop changing their icons. Once you are done, you get an extra life for every row of similar icons.
