But I’m not sure if it’s better than Galaxy 2. But Super Mario Odyssey has surpassed it. I still maintain, that even with you having to fight that camera (especially painful during Wet Dry World), Super Mario 64 still deserves top marks. Some purple coin hunts, races against the AI, the expert levels for rolling on a ball and blowing Mario in a bubble, just feel a bit too much like hard work for me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still wonderful, but some parts of it can be a slog.
You see, I’m not as enamoured with the first Super Mario Galaxy as most. While it’s extremely easy to just name a top flavour of Mario game and call it a day (which is what I’m going to do anyway), the top spot for platformers is somewhat in flux for me. It’s a shame that I have never met or heard of anyone else who has played it.

Looks like a Sky TV game but has a new idea every level and was such an enjoyable game. I mentioned it on here years ago but a quick shout out to The Adventures Of Shuggy on Xbox 360. So yeah, I don’t know but I would say it has to be a Mario game, whether 2D or 3D, it just depends on what mood I’m in but I think the 2D games just edge it for me as there is no fluff, just constant gameplay. 3 and Super Mario World on my Switch and they are both still amazing games. I did recently play through Super Mario Bros. U the next day and it was exactly what I was looking for: good old 2D Mario. I think it was just good timing as I saw the advert on TV and fancied playing a 2D Mario, so I bought a Wii U with Mario Bros. U and finished it 100% and really enjoyed getting some of the harder gold coins that it might actually be my favourite of the 2D Marios. This might be controversial, but I had so much fun with New Super Mario Bros. I have played every Mario platformer, whether 2D or 3D and I would say they have probably been the best of the genre since day one and stayed there ever since.

I sometimes really enjoy playing an old NES game, which if I was being critical is actually a bad game but I really enjoy them such as the NES Star Wars game, The Jetsons, and the NES version of Joe & Mac – which I enjoyed much more than the SNES version. Platformers are my favourite genre so I’m really not sure what I think the best one is. The game is very bizarre, though in a good way and the colours and vibrancy that runs through the game are wonderful. In the best Nintendo style tradition, it introduces many different gameplay aspects throughout its story. I had never played the original game but number 2 has become my favourite platforming game. Now playing: Paper Mario: The Origami King (Switch) and Into The Breach (Switch) It had a great art style and memorable levels where you would get chased to licensed music tracks, it was massive amounts of fun to play those levels. Some of the sections could be very tricky but I found it huge amounts of fun all the same.įor a pure 2D platformer though I must give a shout to Rayman Origins and Legends. There would be large sections of the game where you were doing nothing but platforming.
But rather than talk about those, which I’m sure most people know the brilliance of, I’m going to talk about the 2D Metroidvania games Guacamelee 1 and 2.Įven though these are Metroidvanias, where combo based combat forms a large part of the gameplay, I also remember that the platforming did too, perhaps more so than other Metroidvanias, as there was a variety of moves you could do for combat which also aided in platforming. Platforming games are one of my favourite genres and in the 3D space by far my favourites would have to be Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and Super Mario 3D World.
