SMG 1 & 2 are far superior to NSMB. But, my favourite Mario games are Super Mario World 1 and 2, so I would have to go with the 2D ones, if I had to choose.
While fun to play, NSMB Wii was a step backwards from the SNES platformers. It simply doesn't offer the same level of depth, replayability or creativity. The world map from Super Mario World was genius, and it's strange that Nintendo haven't repeated it since. It was packed with secret areas, and finding all the exits was incredibly satisfying.
Nintendo didn't put half at much effort into NSMB Wii as Retro did with Donkey Kong Country Returns.
