Is there a series with a deeper lore than Mario?

Yoshi's Island is a side-game. It's also garbage.

Super Mario World increased the level sizes but decreased the amount of enemies and platforms. It was also a lot more bland than 3 since a lot of the time in SMW you spend running across mostly flat, grassy plains with only a few enemies and hardly any actual platforms. There aren't any truly difficult jumps to make. Also, the cape and Yoshi are laughably overpowered to the point where the cape allows you to fly over 90% of the levels with complete impunity and Yoshi is a penalty-free hit that you can jump right back on. There's also the various Yoshi powers that serve to trivialize platforming even further.

SMB3's levels were concise, loaded with content, and were incredibly well-designed. SMB3 also had more power-ups and a better structure that didn't allow you to cheese levels you've beaten for power-ups and lives. The item system was also better in 3 because if you lost your power-up you'd have to go searching for another one instead of waiting for one to slowly float from the sky. SMB3 forces you to actually play it, SMW doesn't.

>with only a few enemies and hardly any actual platforms.

Just by playing the game you can disprove this. There's a lot going on in some of these levels. That's part of the reason behind the push for 16 bit consoles, they can do a lot more than their predecessors.

SMB3's levels were compact. There were a lot of them, but they were little more than 45 seconds long. Damn good stages, but smaller in height and width. Difficulty wise, it really wasn't that much harder than World. I know a lot of people here are going to mention Dark Land, but that's just one world. Much like special in Super Mario World.

The most offensive thing World does in terms of easiness is the cape feather. Level design wise, it really wasn't that much easier than 3.

It's nothing like SMW. It's now a Yoshi game.
