Reminder that we still don't know why some dots are bigger than others.
No, it's not timer lenght or level size.

Lives up to its name.

yes

I think it's got to be Super Mario World.
This game is my own miniature garden, I can always come back to it and have fun playing for hours, even if I already know the whole game by heart.

I have completed 100% files several times.

Other than that, I can imagine some fighting games I'veplayed for hundreds of hours as well, mainly playing VS with friends for hours and hours, stuff like SF II, Alpha 2, Fatal Fury Special, but I think nothing tops SMW. I still do a yearly playthrough, sometimes several times. It has something that makes me want to keep playing, a mixture of thick nostalgia and really good gameplay and design. Even if I know the game by heart, I can always take different routes through levels and on the map, so it's not always exactly the same thing.
For some reason I never got into SMW hacks. I figure I'd rather play other games instead of romhacks, but I'm sure I'd enjoy these, too.

What are your favorite maps? post 'em.

Bonus points for no RPGs.
Extra points for in-game maps.

I like both games a lot, but ultimately I like SMW a bit more.

Maps are more fun on SMW than SMB3 for sure though. There's not even secret worlds on 3.

Not really.

By the way I was playing this yesterday. My cart battery died :( I need to replace it someday, I want it to be able to save and have all 96 goals in all 3 files.
