Super Mario World has prettier graphics. Some of the stages in Mario 3 are ugly. Mario 3's levels are also way too short. SMW offers longer stages with more exploration.

Anyone who says Super Mario World is too easy are spamming tricks (that you don't have to use) and have not played the Special stages.

Nostalgia is strong with Super Mario 3, but I think World is a much better game. People from the NES era just can't let go and move on. It's kinda sad.

>Maybe you had this impression because of the graphics? They were pretty much the only thing sub par on SMW.
I'm not sure what it was. But a lot of Reagan pagan babies also suffered the same issues when first playing Super Mario World.
SMB 3 had explosive airships and seemed more "in your face" with its action elements. SMW was more polite and focused on exploration.

Super Mario Bros. 3 is an action game with exploration elements, while Super Mario World is an exploration game with action elements.
I was just too young to appreciate SMW for what it was, at the time. But looking back, I now feel that World is the better game, and has aged much better.

I think Super Mario World is gorgeous. What makes you think the graphics are sub-par? Just curious.
