3 over World, but SMB2 is the best Mario game on the NES.
Which SMB2 ? SMB2 in Japan was later released internationally as “The Lost Levels”. The SMB2 that got release in the US and Europe was actually a reskined Japanese game called “Doki Doki Panic” which means it wasn’t even really a Mario game in the first place!
I imagine they mean the US SMB2 aka Doki Doki Panic. I have actually played the "original" version and the SMB2 game is actually improved in some ways, not just reskinned. While I don't think it is better than SMB3, I think it is a great Mario game, even if not initially intended as one.
