Maybe.

Although truth be told, the only one I really loved was DKC2.

Metroid Prime for me, although I admit it is pretty divisive (especially 2 and 3). Still love all 3 (but mostly the first).

if 3 didn't have to follow the act of 2 more people would've liked it. 2 was that good.

i think 2 stands on its own two feet the best and 1 got more from its time.

Oh and the Crash Bandicoot trilogy is pretty solid throughout. Though the first game leaves a little bit to be desired.

If 3 had you play as Funky and Dixie Kong it would have been the best.

Fuck Kiddy Kong

I'll go with ActRaiser/Soul Blazer/Terranigma

But Soul Blazer is kinda basic. It plays and looks like a NES game on the SNES >_>

Oh yeah, I forgot about Crash Bandicoot. And that's a true trilogy too.

I don't get the hate for the first game. It's great because it's the most challenging in the series. Really tough levels AND you have to get to a save point to save. It's by far the hardest 3D platformer ever made, and it deserves praise for that.

Game's story is revolutionary in gaming, MGS3's story is good too but not on the same level.

MGS2 is literally MGS gameplay perfected.

MGS3 is fun, but the initial release had a jank as fuck camera, and all releases have the janky camo menu and useless survival elements.

Also literal Bumblebee Man boss.

The magic of the game is it, due to limitations, is free from a lot of the filler in level design that gets added. Each level has its focus, they don't try to wow you with some beautiful background, or with a million tools/powerups that plague future platformers. Most of all, SMB just lets you run through a level if you truly know how to play. There are barely games as fluid as SMB is.

3 definitely has the best graphics and is the most challenging to get 100%, very underrated and following 2 probably played a part in that. Kiddy also played a part, some people didn't even want to give the game a chance because they didn't want to play as a giant toddler ape.

Talking about DKC, 1&3 are good, at best, and would be somewhat forgettable if not for DKC2, which is one of the best platformers ever made.
It's really hard to find a trilogy where all 3 games are great(Sonic is tricky, because Sonic&Knuckles is technically a 4th-game. But the 1st one isn't great anyway). Super Mario Bros. was great for its time, but feels dated: it doesn't get great until 3.
Mega Man X would count, if we were talking about stuff exclusively on SNES. X-X3 are all great, but then it just kept going...and going. The classic series has a familiar problem: the 1st game is good but janky as hell. 2&3 are great though, even though they both have problems.

I'd count the mass effect trilogy if you ignore the ending to 3.

Everything leading up to that point however was a hell of a gaming experience.

I don't know. It always rubbed me the wrong way that D.K. was omitted from his own sequels. Like, what the hell?

It turns out it was just Rare in a pissing match with Nintendo. Rare wanted it to be known that the success of the game was due to their graphics and gameplay, not Nintendo's character license. To that effect, I guess they were right.

...but it was still called DONKEY KONG Country. That's like saying that Final Fantasy 8's success is proof that it's not the Final Fantasy licence because it doesn't have anyone from Final Fantasy 7 in it.

If I had my way, Diddy's Kong Quest would be a spinoff. That would be full title. It wouldn't be "Donkey Kong Country 2." But Nintendo of America was weird about brand naming at the time -- like calling Yoshi's Island Super Mario World 2 despite Mario not being a playable character (aside from a few brief stints as Caped Baby Mario).

Like Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land?

Which THEN branched off into a proper Wario Land series?
