That would be all fine and dandy if not for the fact that it's all fictional and Peach didn't asked anyone for help. It's a play remember, not a game, no one's in danger, no heroics are performed and the player was always deceived. For that fact alone is a spin-off, since Mario doesn't do anything other than being an actor, and we all know the true Mario isn't an actor.
And going from a kingdom to a world is only natural progression if you consider that in order for that to happen, the mushroom kingdom had to go on a conquering rampage, since in that frame of mind, all other kingdoms are subjugated to the will of Princess Peach. Since the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom of the first games isn't likely to go on conquering rampages, it makes no sense to go from kingdom to world. Thus that argument is invalid in the spectrum of Mario lore.
Again, there's just no more reason to call SMB3 a "true" Mario game as SMW in the "rules" that Pyro as Bill created, that oh-so-supreme knowledge lord.

The only reason why you consider it a play is because of the curtain, I guess?

All the floating platforms are stapled against the background, all the backgrounds are painted on a flat wall. Visual cues to it being a stage production are all over the game, just like how Super Mario 64 was a documentary of Mario's adventures.
There weren't any "plain" Mario adventures - which is to say Mario just running off and saving the Princess in the Mushroom Kingdom without having the paparazzi following him - on consoles between Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
