The best I managed on the original was world 3-3 then I died. Switched to All-Stars and immediately things felt better as far as controls, though I ended up dying on 3-1. Go figure. I think my preferred Mario play style may be part of the issue. I tend to subscribe to the Sandra Bullock school of Mario playing which says that if you slow down you'll probably die. But if I do try to be careful, I'm actually worse because I'm not used to it.
