I had the misfortune of playing Super Mario World before ever tackling Super Mario 3 -- so while I could see a lot of the innovations I loved in SMW actually came from SM3, they no longer seemed as fresh.
I don't have the magazine in front of me, but if memory serves in Retro Gamer magazine's recent list of the top 25 platformers, SMW beat out SM3, but only by two slots (#1 and #3, respectively.) In between was Jet Set Willy, a very popular home computer game in the UK but almost unknown in the US.
