Super Mario World is better than SMB3 by a wide margin, if not more widely recognized, and Yoshi's Island is the best 2d game in the series if you count it. Super Mario Bros. and Mario 64 are perhaps the two most influential games of all time, so SMB3 can't take that title. SMB3 is great, but it's third best in the series by any criteria.
