splash woman in megaman9 (for loose definitions of "platformer")

imo the only way you're gonna get this is if underwater is basicallly just low gravity instead of having swimming as a mechanic / distinct movement option

Just because TMNT1 and Ocarina of Time had memorably difficult water segments doesn't mean they suck in all games.

The Dam level has the most overblown difficulty complaints of any level in any game, period. Any competent gamer will have all the bomb locations memorized by their second or third try. After that, you plan a route (easy enough, since the level is mostly linear) and manage the health of your turtles. You have 4 whole life bars and enough time to make a few mistakes along the way.

Darksiders manages it pretty well, honestly.

Especially in 3, since one of the power modes immediately sinks you and lets you walk around the floor.

Coupled with no oxygen meter and the fast swimming of the series, it honestly feels like turning into Iron Man with no ranged weapons.

The aquatic world in Sonic Colors. You can jump infinitely underwater and you can still move reasonably fast with the boost mechanic and the drill power up.

Underwater, though? I do think there are great levels featuring water in Mario Sunshine, but are any of those beneath the surface?

As long as the swimming mechanics feel fine, water levels can be good. The worst are the no swimming, just super slow and floaty jumpys. They need to both have a distinct feel compared to the rest of the game and feel good to play. DKC, Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy had water levels I really liked.

Not sure how a rail shooter where you are flying a space plane 90% of the time is a platformer. >_>

Yeah people complain about the dam level so much, but that's nothing compared to getting to Shredder inside the technodrome and beating him.

But that's easy to do right. Button to move forward and stick to control your swimming angles.
