I feel like its been a while since Ive seen these games discussed
I feel like World is definitely way more popular but honestly I like 3s charm more, maybe its because of the simpler hardware that makes me appreciate it quite a bit. Or maybe its the hammer bros suit.
I live on, THROUGH THIS SEASHELL!

Level design in 3 continues to be the blueprint for excellent 2d platforming.
World is great but a lot of space feels dead or lacking purpose.
I agree with this
I basically love everything about SMB3 way more than SMW, obviously a lot of it comes down to personal preference but it's just not even close for me, I never loved SMW like I love SMB3
I've always been a World guy but thought both were great.
After replaying both recently, I still think World is great but dropped 3 without finishing. That's actually been the case the last few times I've tried replaying it. 3 was obviously great for it's time and I used to like it, but I feel like it doesn't hold up as well as World.

SMB3 seems better (in terms of level design and power-ups), but SMW gives me better feelings. Actually, one advantage SMW has is "secrets", which is quite a big deal. And Yoshi is a big deal, too, even if he kind of breaks the game. SMW, it is.
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
"You drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."
I think World still, though it's gotten closer between the two as I've gotten older. I prefer 3's physics and controls but World's levels and general design, which seems to be the exact opposite of the common opinion here lol
Maybe hot take but I think I'd also put SMB1 in this conversation.

World's level design is fantastic if you enjoy the thrill of finding new things and how unlocking things can change a level. Everything in World revolves around its secrets.
In terms of pure platforming excellence, 3 is hard to beat.
