I think most gamers have a tough time choosing between Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. They're so good, it's really hard to pick favorites when both are in the top of their class. However I think the 3rd game has the edge just slightly.
Though Super Mario World did a lot of things 3 did, I have to give the last game in the NES trilogy a lot of credit from being radically different (and better) from the original game, and the true Super Mario Bros. 2 which is known as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels in America.
I loved the new map where you can pick the stages, and the bonus stages which made my brothers and I fight over who got what item or not. We even fought viciously over those stupid mini-game stages which offered a small chance to win something like a mushroom or a fire-flower.
Each world in SMB3 was so much different from the last, and with tons of secrets in between it's not hard to believe how much fun you will have until you face King Bowser at the end. World 8 is one though cookie, don't dare say it isn't.
In retrospect, the NES version is a bit outdated. The SNES remake version in Super Mario All-Stars is the superior version by far. Such a fresh coat of paint.
