Seven is a great number. My favourite number is 16 but it would be really annoying to have to find 16 dragonballs, so seven is just fine (1+6=7)

i think 7 or 8 worlds/missions etc just works as far as the game not getting boring, or overly long...or being too short. i think mario world two had like 5 to 6 worlds, and i was like whaaa?

It goes back to Hebrew Tradition. Check Leviticus/Numbers and you see all kinds of sevens. Also God created Earth in seven days. It all ties together, man.

hmmmm i actually think it's because it is seen as a lucky number example craps(the game people) slots barret lucky 7's :)

Don't forget the 7 days in a week, and the 7 deadly sins Seven is supposed to be a holy number (God created everything in 7 days...), as opposed to 6, which is the devil's number.That girl from 'the ring' must have something divine then, as she gives us 7 days when we watch the videotape :o

I think it's because 7 is just a lucky number... I think if you get all three sevens on a slot machine don't you win? I guess that may be why.... perhaps?

I think that's about the number of levels when the developers look at each other and say "Alright, I'm tired...that's enough levels." That's why most games are about seven or eight worlds long.And no...FF7 is definitely not the best FF game. I just think it was many kids' FIRST FF game so they have fond memories of it.Stevo

I just noticed in Super Mario Bros 2: 7 WorldsNow i see it could also be 88 Worlds in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario: Bros 3Honestly i expected in super Mario Bros. 2 to be 8 worlds but then i saw that boss...

I think with games that have 8, it's more 7+1 than 8, because it's like the 7 forces fall in the middle of the hero and the 1, or the antagonist. Like in Mario 3, how Koopa attacked the 7 surrounding kingdoms only as a ruse to capture the princess, or in Zelda, how the 7 of whoever you're trying to find all join together at the 8th and final temple. But as other people have been saying, there are really just higher sources for 7. It's the holy number, it's the lucky number, and it's the benevolent number.

It's probably because seven is widely considered a lucky number. Psychologically, someone may feel lucky playing a game that has seven somethings in it.

Historically, 7 is a divine number. 7 is mentioned throughout the Bible and texts that came before it to represent divinity.

I think 7 levels sounds like you can have enough time to play it. 7 is also a lucky number. I also like the above comment about the developers getting tired, lol.
