Super Mario World, but SMB3 comes really close. Just the amount of features added there is simply amazing.
Speaking of embarrassing, as I kid I never had a Super Nintendo (not the embarrassing part). Even then I recognized how great Super Mario 3 was, and when I was growing up and even now, that and Mega Man 2 were my favorite games.
Now, however, I've been snapping up old systems and games from Ebay and Craigslist and I got a SNES with Super Mario World. I'm ashamed to say that after all this time, it may have displaced Super Mario 3. I DO need to go back and play SMB3 again, but I've played it so many times in the past I think it's time to play a few new-to-me games first.

The original is my favourite. I have had great times with SMB2 and 3, as well as SMW 1 and 2, but SMB1 takes the cake, pie, cookie etc.
Speedruns in that game never gets old.

Measuring off of sheer playtime.... Mario Bros. Not Super, but the original. I played that so much when I was a kid; one of the few games my mom played, too.

O__O you Monster!! I loved riding Yoshi....my childhood just died...
*Sobs* Poor yoshi!!
the funny thing about this is, it's mandatory to let Yoshi fall to his death at least once to get a 100% ending.Madara XIII said:Moriarty said:If I have to pick one, I have to go with Super Mario World.

you need him to go below a level ending flagpole to get to the secret ending of the level
Super Mario Land 2. A great Mario game for the original Game Boy, and the origin of Wario as well.
Easily Super Mario World for me. The 16-Bit capabilities of the SNES gave Mario his best possible 2D experience. I don't think they could possibly be improved. If you tried to make anything look better, it would involve adding polygons or some other 3D elements, and then you'd end up with NEW Super Mario Bros. I'm not arguing that this is a bad game but it just can't compete in any way, shape or form.
For the same reasons, I'm also very partial to the Mario All-Stars remake of SMB3.

None. I haven't played any besides the first one Gameboy. My friend gave me a copy a few years ago, played for 5 mins and got bored of it. I think if I had been exposed to it (Mario and a lot of other old school stuff) when I was younger I would have appreciated it a lot more.
