I've played them all except NSMBU, and yes, the old ones were better. Not to say NSMB games are bad though, they are all okay.
Super Mario Bros 3 was brilliant, as was the very first. I never got what's the big deal about Super Mario World though, I've never found that to be one of the best ones. Especially when it gets out-shined tremendously in every single way twice by it's somewhat sequel: Yoshi's Island. Now that was a brilliant Mario game.
Of the new ones, I like NSMB2 the best so far, though I've never gotten far in the other games... The whole 'New' franchise is behind the original series though.
But it doesn't matter anyway, since 3D Mario > 2D Mario 
.
