Pyro as Bill said:

If I include SMW then I have to include SMW2 which clearly isn't a REAL Mario game. SMB 2 is as close to real Mario as SMW is to Yoshis Island. I wouldn't be suprised if Miyamoto confirms that SMW was going to be a different IP, maybe Yoshi, and they stuck Mario on at the last minute, like SMB2.

World was an SMB 3 expansion combined with a Yoshi Island prequel. Yoshi was overused and overpowered. Where's red, blue and yellow Yoshi these days? I don't mean a palette swap like in NSMB Wii. Combined with the cape, Mario didn't have to do much platforming at all. You could do a double feather power up and fly through/skip most levels. The game was centred around Yoshi and his puzzles.

World also had help blocks. No REAL Mario game requires instructions, especially not in game.

Yoshi doesn't get used anywhere near as much as in SMW anymore. Today, he's used sparingly like water levels. The feather has disappeared along with most of SMW's enemies. SMW didn't leave much of a legacy for future Mario games. Just like SMB2.

 

Super Mario World, unlike the other real Mario games, is set in a different world, not the Mushroom Kingdom. Unless somebody imports the creatures from Dinosaur Land to the Mushroom Kingdom, there is no good reason why they should be there. Yoshis in limited amounts in NSMB Wii actually make sense, because the Mushroom Kingdom wasn't the Yoshis' natural habitat as we know from SMB1 and SMB3. But since Yoshis were of great assistance when rescuing Peach (or Princess Toadstool) from Dinosaur Land, some of them were taken to the Mushroom Kingdom. The Western SMB2 took place in Subcon which was a dream world.

Actually, SMB3 doesn't take place in the Mushroom kingdom. It takes place on a spin-off called Mushroom World with seven different kingdoms of it's own. Of course, that doesn't matter at all since it's just a play, it's not like you're actually rescuing the princess or the kings or that the action is actually happening, thus rendering the entire of SMB3 much more of a spin-off from the "real" SMB games than the 3D or Handheld versions.
