Super Mario World is a lot more fun to me, but that's not surprising.
2D-sidescrollers were established and matured when SMW came out and it was basically the pinnacle of the genre. M64 on the other hand was Nintendo's first 3D-platformer released on hardware that didn't allow the same obstacle density for example.
Funny thing is that M64 was nothing like SMW and newer 3D Marios come closer to SMW in terms of the general formula.
