Title: Your favorite 2D platformer?
Post by: Oblivion on February 18, 2008, 06:21:23 PM
Since we were having threads about certain ones anyway, I thought might as well ask.

Mine would have to be SMW, followed pretty closely by SMB3.

Either Super Mario World or Yoshi's Island.  Both of 'em are pretty much perfect, imo.

Which version, Drohne?  Weren't there big difference between both SNES and Genesis versions?
Title: Re: Your favorite 2D platformer?
Post by: drohne on February 18, 2008, 07:09:03 PM
the first one, which is only on genesis. 'sparkster' is on both consoles, and yeah, the two versions are completely different games -- i like the snes one somewhat better, but neither is as good as the first

Sonic CD.

Probably Sonic 2 for some odd reason. I think Super Mario World is a better game, but Sonic 2 is about the only old-school 2D platformer I ever play nowadays. Can't really explain it, it just has that 'je ne sais quoi' (and it's not nostalgia, I was a Super Nintendo kid).  :dur

If we are including 2.5D, Klonoa - Door to Phantomile all the way.

SMB3

Rayman was pretty fun and innovative. And even though I like SMB3 a lot my vote goes to the original game in the series.

Post by: bork on February 18, 2008, 09:25:12 PM
Probably the original Super Mario Bros.  It's tough to say though.  Basically SMB1-3, SMW, and Mega Man 2 and 3 are my all-time favorites...so an easy way to cheat is to say Super Mario All-Stars+Super Mario World on SNES is my favorite.    ;)  Followed by Mega Man: The Wily Wars.

SM3 is the best platformer ever.

SMB3 was fun on a bun.

I have to say that I also have a deep liking for SMB3. I was a Super Nintendo kid until my dad bought me a Genesis in '94, which turned me  into a total Sonic furry.

SMW or Knytt Stories, it's a tie.
Title: Re: Your favorite 2D platformer?

Mega Man 2, followed closely by Super Mario Bros. 3.

SMW & SM3 here as well.  There are a lot of other 2d games with platforming that I like (some of the Castlevania games spring to mind), but I don't really think of them as platformers - they are more like side-scrolling action games.

Yoshi's Island, SMB3 and SMW are my favorites.  In fact Yoshi's Island is the last truly outstanding thing that Nintendo did.

Super Mario Galaxy wasn't as JIZZ-INDUCING as GAF (and some people here) led us to believe?

Makes sense.
