these are the only options





Metroid is probably technically a platformer too but I feel like Metroidvania is enough of its own thing at this point that im not including it

That game is kind of legit. I played it a bunch as a kid.

Tiny Toons Buster Busts Loose was good too.

I've always felt that Kirby Super Star is more beat 'em up than platformer. Because if you're basing it on the level design that doesn't involve beating stuff up and solving puzzles with powers, lol.

DKC2 > Mario World > MMX >> Yoshi's Island otherwise. Kirby hangs in a weird nebula of simultaneously better and worse than all the other games.

I don't know if you'd call it a platformer because it's heavily hybridized, but my favorite game with the side perspective on the SNES is front mission: gun hazard.

I agree that Super Castlevania IV should be on here, I would also suggest kirby's dreamland 3, which is more charming than kirby superstar imo

Im not familiar with Front Mission, ill have to check it out

I thought about including KD3 but decided I liked the way the poll looked this way better than with two kirbies. Dreamland 3 isnt a bad choice at all.

SCIV is neat and I did think of it, but I didnt think it was really a classic on the level of these other games. Maybe Im underselling it.

Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and Mega Man X (and Bubsy, sure) are all kinda in this area of "I like them, but they're not an all-time great to me". Sonic is in this zone too. I realize this gives me a lower than average opinion of SMW but I always found it a significant step back from SMB3. This is the only genre I think the NES did better than the SNES on average.

Not a DKC fan.

this gopic was inspired by me playing Yoshis Island again lately

its a pretty dang good game, but Im also frustrating because Im trying to 100% it for the first time and some of the hidden stuff is hidden in such random places that I find myself needing to destroy like everything possible just to make sure im not missing something.

I will only give one opinion.

DKC2 is a MUCH better platformer than SMW, and the only way you could think otherwise is via nostalgia.

Whoops, didn't see Yoshi's Island.

-1 DKC2 and +1 Yoshi's Island.

My tier list is
Yoshi's Island > Donkey Kong Country 2 > Mega Man X > Kirby Super Star > Super Mario World

Kirby Super Star goes up above Donkey Kong Country 2 if it's Kirby Super Star Ultra, but not because of the platforming.

Does Contra, Gunstar Heroes and Metroid count as platformers too? If so then, maybe.

I would consider Mega Man games as 2D shooters more than Platformers.

Are Devil May Cry and Platinum games 3D platformers?

This in no way is me trying to start an argument about what genre a game/series is.

Im just genuinely curious to know what is considered platformers and what is not because I never really thought of Mega Man, Contra and Metroid as platformers.
