Super Mario Bros. 3 could be challenging at points, but it also provided plenty of opportunities to earn loads of extra lives, which you did by collecting coins, picking up special mushrooms, playing the slot-machine-style minigames scattered across the Mushroom Kingdom, or simply by finishing three levels.

Super Mario Bros. 3 doesn’t quite compare to Super Mario World (its direct sequel) in overall depth and playability, but it does stand tall in one area that’s always been extremely important to me: originality.
Mario 3 is the last Mario game that truly felt “magical”; the bizarre, colorful worlds of the mushroom kingdom exude levels of creativity that, once upon a time, only Nintendo could deliver.
Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World offers a much longer, more balanced quest overall, but John’s right—SMB3 benefits from a wilder touch of creativity.

 Review: Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 (GBA) -- Gaming Voice
As it was the first Mario game to feature memory saves, Super Mario World was longer than the three previous versions combined.
Like it’s GBA predecessor (Super Mario Advance 1), the graphics have been upgraded, slightly less this time as it had less room to grow.
The only reasons not to buy this game -- aside from not owning a GBA -- are if you have already played Super Mario World and don’t wish to again, or if you are not an exceptional 2D platform gamer.

Super Mario World for the SNES sits at or near the top of most "best videogame" lists for a reason.
At the time of its release it was a dramatic evolution of the side-scrolling Mario series of action-adventure games, incorporating every gameplay element that worked in the older titles while adding a seemingly endless supply of new tricks.
A lot of precision jumping is required, but the controls are so tight that directing Mario (or even Luigi, who wasn't playable in the original) becomes as natural as breathing within a few minutes of playing.
