As one who has beaten both SMB3 and SMW a gazillion million times; this is a really tough one.

I guess if you disregard any "external" factors, like when it was made, for what system, technical limitations etc, SMW is the better game. But, SMB3 revolutionized the platforming genre, SMW just finetuned the best of what SMB3 did.

An SMB 3 where you could save AND replay the levels at _any_ time would have made it perfect.

It just sucks when you got that craving for that "get all the coins from the ice blocks that melt when you shoot a fireball"-level in World 6, and you have to run through a couple dozen other levels just to get there. And if you finish it, but accidentally missed a coin so you didnt get the white Mushroom-house, you would have to reboot the fucking system to try again. That is my only gripe with the game.
