Super Mario Brothers. 1, 3, and World are all so-near perfect that it's hard to decide, but since I got them for the VC, I've found myself playing the original the most.
While World was a great new direction for the genre, and Galaxy is amazing in its own right, I can't help but feel that SMB3 is the overall best.
I'd also like to mention that SMW2: Yoshi's Island was (and still is) incredible, though not a proper Mario game. (art style, music, bosses, gameplay ... everything but crying Baby Mario)
I still wish World would have gotten a more traditional sequel. Yoshi's Island was great, but World had 2P in its favor and a large map with lots of different routes. I preferred its shorter, more straightforward levels, too. It would be nice if Nintendo made a "New Super Mario World" one day like the DS sequel to the "Super Mario Brothers" games. Doesn't seem entirely unlikely given the success of NSMB and the apparent longevity of the DS(i).
As much as I loved Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World. I choose Super Mario Bros. 2.
I remember playing SMB2 for the longest time and I love how you can switch between characters. While it's technically Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, when you were 7 years old, you didn't knew about stuff like that!
I go back and forth usually between Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

I don't see how SMB3 could be considered superior due to it's more challenging difficulty. Both games are ridiculously easy. I just find SMW to be more fun. Perhaps I just love all the pretty colors. SMB3 is pretty bland.
I still have trouble beating SMB3. I didn't beat it completely on my own without warps until I was 18, I think, and I'd been playing it since its release. Beat Mario World within a year or two of its release. SMB3 is definitely the harder of the two for me, and that does have its appeal. However, if I'm playing with a friend, I don't really have a preference.

I agree with you -- i think I was able to beat SMW (with all exits) long before I finally beat SMB3 without warps, and we'd had it ever since it came out (i remember my parents running out to buy it and then playing it all night, hahaha). There are some parts of SMB3 that still give me trouble on off-days, like the second half of world 5 (darn those flying beetle-things and that stupid flying fire-chomp thing), though I can usually breeze through SMW with no problem except for the Special area.
SMB3 would definitely be my favorite if, like Digiki said, you could replay levels at leisure. I know you could in the GBA Super Mario Advance 4 version, but I don't think you can in the NES version... then again, i've never tried. hmm...

No, but it is very easy to get two flutes in three or four minutes. From there you can replay any world you want. It's not so bad.
with the Wii saving my progress every time i play, I can also just beat the game again and work my way back with some fresh p-wings. :3
