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.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #1 on:** February 18, 2008, 06:24:11 PM »

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

SMB3 or Yoshi's Island.

Eric P · « **Reply #3 on:** February 18, 2008, 06:33:52 PM »

Rman · « **Reply #10 on:** February 18, 2008, 07:07:17 PM »

Which version, Drohne? Weren't there big difference between both SNES and Genesis versions?

drohne · « **Reply #11 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 followed by Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

y2kev · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2008, 07:38:33 PM »

can i say smash bros huahuah

SMW probably.

ferrarimanf355 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2008, 07:45:27 PM »

Sonic CD.

Akala · « **Reply #15 on:** February 18, 2008, 08:12:39 PM »

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).

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

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

bork · « **Reply #18 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.

Eduardo24 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 18, 2008, 09:33:27 PM »

SM3 is the best platformer ever.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #20 on:** February 19, 2008, 01:05:03 AM »

SMB3 was fun on a bun.

CurseoftheGods · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2008, 01:09:06 AM »

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.

Raban · « **Reply #22 on:** February 19, 2008, 01:13:01 AM »

SMW or Knytt Stories, it's a tie.

Ichirou · « **Reply #23 on:** February 19, 2008, 01:24:27 AM »

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

MCD · « **Reply #24 on:** February 19, 2008, 02:00:49 AM »

mega man x1 to x4.

Robo · « **Reply #25 on:** February 19, 2008, 08:08:49 AM »

Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts

disgruntled_jojo · « **Reply #26 on:** February 20, 2008, 03:08:24 PM »

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?

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #28 on:** February 20, 2008, 10:35:30 PM »

Makes sense.
